For all of the syrian refugees who are currently in turkey, to get them out of turkey and stick them in syria. those are his two objectives and hes probably going to achieve them. >> and at the same time, tom, imagine this, the president has invited erdogan to come to washington for this much-sought-after meeting hes wanted since may of 2017 when his bodyguards were indicted by the metropolitan police for, in broad daylight, beating the heck out of anti-erdogan protesters. >> you have to ask you...

That will be a challenge for them in terms of how to respond to that. also in the court of public opinion, the white house clearly in that document yesterday laying out both a constitutional argument but also a political statement and saying in some ways, look, the president is not being treated fairly here, if youre going to impeach him, if youre going to go through this process then he needs to have due process, he needs to have the right to have counsel present and be involved in the intervie...

I guess maybe hes too young to know captain kangaroo. >> procedures and orders and process and all of this. when you look at the substance whether it is the whistleblowers complaint or the transcript of the july 25th call or text messages that we end up getting last thursday or friday, thats a strain for republicans. >> thank you. mark murray, we got another debate. another nbc debate in georgia. >> looking forward to it. >> we are. it is take your children to workday here at our nbc newsroom. a...

Veteran former federal prosecutor and former u.s. attorney barbara mcquaid. its always a pleasure having you on. thank you so much for tonight. coming up for us, foreign policy. it has a funny way of sneaking in and redirecting a presidential race. in fact, are we now watching the start of that process? in a moment well talk to the senior most self-described defrocked republican strategist in the business when we come back.

Director. we have a new national security adviser. the fourth national security adviser. we had a breakdown in process. and we have incredible distraction. when you have senior people having to deal with things like theyve been dealing with this week, which takes all their time, theyre not engaged in the focused work of protecting the country and i can tell you over the course now of 18 years since 9/11 it is not an accident that this country has been better protected. its not an accident that t...

Even more emphatically. "the president cannot be liable to arrest, prison, or detention while he is in the dirs charsch his office nor can he be investigated, indicted or otherwise subjected to criminal process." "nor can he be investigate"? wait a second. now, d"? wait a second. now, again, the case, theyre making this claim specifically in the context of this subpoena to the mazars accounting official to get president trumps tax returns and tie this argument specifically to that one subpoena. ...

That subpoena was not served on donald trump. it was served on the accounting firm mazars, which is prepared those tax returns and has copies of them. the manhattan district attorney is conducting an investigation into potential criminal wrongdoing by donald trump and his company in the hush money payments to stormy daniels in the last month of the presidential campaign, which federal prosecutors in new york called a criminal conspiracy against the united states, which was designed to affect the...

The president says because a sitting president cannot be indicted, which is a theory, not a precedent, he cant even be investigated and he can even be subjected to criminal process. even robert mueller disagreed with that. he said absolutely a president can be investigated because you might want to charge others around him like members of the trump organization or you can charge the president after he leaves office, so i think that on procedurally and on the merits, this is going to fail. which ...
