Welcome back to the broadcast earlier broadcast. earlier this evening, we spoke with virginia democratic senator mark warner, the top democrat on the intelligence committee. and i asked him about donald trump jr.s nine-hour marathon appearance just yesterday in washington. >> the interview with donald trump, jr. was conducted entirely by staff. we feel like the first interviews, its better not to have politicians trying to score points, but let the staff come in and get all the facts out. but th...

Rather than search for ways to safeguard u.s. elections, trump has waged his own campaign to discredit the case that russia poses any threat and he has resisted or attempted to roll back efforts to hold moscow to account. phillip, its tough to ask about such a massive piece of writing that when printed out is almost a magazine in and of itself, but we urge all of our viewers to read it for themselves. what stood out to you most? what was your largest takeaway as co-author of this? >> i think the...

Account, and it was changed to it was possible. this will infuriate republicans who have had questions about the independence of the investigations, and they are not saying exactly who changed the language. they are mentioning peter strzok led the investigations and had anti-trump texts among others that was part of the team, but not saying who changed the language explicitly. how important is this? >> the republican lawmakers are trying to make quite a bit out of who made the changes. what was ...

Who would potentially have knowledge of the topics were investigating that have not yet been scheduled. yeah, im terribly concerned. in concert with the president, not just the president, sean hannity, jeanine pirro, his allies in congress. to suggest that a man like bob mueller, an american war hero, the finest fbi director the country has arguably had, to throw mud on that investigation so that the option opens to end that investigation is a profoundly concerning thing. >> congressman sherichi...

Welcome back to the broadcast earlier this evening we spoke with virginia democratic senator mark warner, the top democrat on the senate intelligence committee. and i asked him about donald trump jr.s nine-hour marathon appearance before his committee just yesterday in washington. >> the interview with donald trump jr. was conducted entirely by staff. we feel like the first interviews, its better not to have politicians trying to score points but let the staff come in and get all the facts out. ...

We do have conclusions about the need to protect our electoral systems. we do have conclusions about trying to make sure that our social media ecosystem needs better protections. but on this question about the fact that the russians so often offered discrediting information about hillary clinton to the trump campaign, what was the trump campaigns response? you know, were all reserving final judgment until we get a chance to question these principal figures individually. >> will we see the presid...

When we met with the president, the idea was that theres to be an adherence to revenue neutrality. now theyre borrowing $2.3 trillion to give a tax cut to people at the very top of the spectrum? i think theres little evidence that tax cuts pay for themselves. but they seem to indicate that this is going to enhance expenditure. theres no evidence to support the conclusions that theyve drawn. recall as well that secretary mnuchin, ive had a cordial relationship with, he said absolutely no tax cut ...

Pre-existing opinions and judge on the evidence. and thats what we as prosecutors have always done. we set aside our personal opinions. we look at the evidence, and we base our conclusions on the evidence. the danger here is that trumps base will believe that it is less credible. and during the watergate prosecution our press officer took very proactive steps to make sure that the american people knew who we were and that we were credible and that we werent out to get the president. and i have s...

Doesnt benefit from having connectivity. having a little oversight, making sure that service is fair and open and supports entrepreneurship and online communities, i think thats something worth keeping and sustaining. thats why i oppose the rollback of these rules. >> lets say it does get ruled back, what can we expect? >> first, i think that the american public is going to be angry. i think theyre going to find it awfully strange that a few unelected officials in washington are making such vast...
