Extraordinary. >> bill shine, the former head of fox news, is now deputy chief of staff to the president of the united states, the guy who covered up roger ailes pattern of behavior for decades at fox news is now working for the president of the united states. hes clever, i guess you would say. >> but he sucks at his job. this is arguably, since he started, the worst period of the trump presidency. what is he doing? >> i hope youre right. he has a deep, you know, contempt for the american public...

Hold him in contempt if he doesnt produce it. instead, it is kind of back and forth that i think he is running out the clock on the stuff. i dont think he wants to comply with what we are asking for. >> jason: i am no longer in congress. you are. why havent you dropped back? the clock is ticking. you literally have days before the next election. you are in a handful of days. is there anything that is going to happen? >> we should do it. i have been arguing for months. lets set that contempt date...

If you had concerns, just bring it to the president. but to do it in front of that crowd, i didnt think that was the right way to go. >> jason: congressman, you and jim jordan, mark meadows, john ratcliffe, trey gowdy, i mean, the list is long. you have been trying to extract documents from these people and yet we see them all in aspen, i guess, they didnt take a delta flight or southwest to get there. how is it that -- how does that make you feel when you see them hanging out in aspen but you c...

Rod rosenstein, there is talk about holding these people and contempt. you say they are really doing this hoping that dems take over congress and it all ends then? >> its the oldest trick in the book. many officials here in washington know how to hold out congress. they know how to plan meetings for fridays when they know there are no votes, thats the times they want to get things. they know congress will adjourn next week. the more they delay for no reason, we are waiting on many documents, as ...

Individuals to come to congress, even though they have tried to wait us out. i think they would love to see republicans lose. i say that, i hate to say that, but i have to believe that the department of justice and fbi, the people at leadership, they are banking on a loss by the republicans in the fall. which is why people have to understand how important it is going to be to get out and vote in this election to ensure that members of congress return that are actively involved -- because of the ...

Was made public in april, it is heavily redacted, remember, by the department of justice and fbi. we had all this information. the thing that i brought up,p, i just find the timing of this to be very hard to believe. right? it might give them the benefit of the doubt, why does this always happen? every time something happens on one side where we find out a new revelation about what appears to be real problems in the fbi and doj with this investigation, all of a sudden, they drop an indictment. i...

Now getting to be blood feud stuff. theyve talked about actually fighting each other. they have had a back and forth on twitter about who would beat -- these are guys in their 70s who talked about who will have a fist fight and who would win in that? this is not nothing. and whether or not bidens contempt for trump would further drive him in that direction i dont know. we also know this, in bidens mind, he believes that if he was able to have run in 2016 and that he could have beaten hillary cli...

Meadows tweeted today after this behind closed doors testimony. he said, "remarkably, we learned new information today suggesting the doj had not notified lisa page of congress outstanding interview request for over seven months now. the doj/fbi appear to be continuing their efforts to keep the material facts and perhaps even witnesses from congress." judge jeanine, your reaction to that? thats a wild revelation. i dont think they should have any reason to lie about that. she would be held in co...
