Democrats from the republicans, the trump voters from the non-trump voters, either side of the aisle to the point where not only are we not getting things done, were not even talking to each other? >> heres where we are. you cant go back. this isnt like an nfl game where you can ask for video play replay and play the play over. the votes are in. the electoral college has voted. i think youre con plating two things that shouldnt be conflated. the real question is it appropriate for the fbi and fb...

October and november. >> thanks so much. former clinton campaign senior adviser joel benenson weighing in on todays news of the inspector general review. heres what he told my colleague katie can tur a few minutes ago. >> the real question here, is it appropriate for the fbi and the fbi watchdog to investigate behavior they think violated fbi practices in the course of conducting investigations and engaging in public conversation about that? i think thats appropriate. no ones trying to get a d...

Judiciary committee. it was in 1986 when he went before the committee to get a federal judgeship and was rejected? >> he gets a do over. he was sitting for about 20 years as a member and at one-point leading the committee for the republicans. theres so many strange twists of fate in what we are going to see coming up, and the most fascinating part is traditionally as you were talking about, fellow senators do give their colleagues, especially sitting senators a bit of deference, and thats not ha...

♪ ♪ >> i love it how cnn has called this today election day as if the one a month ago wasnt. theyre demanding a do-over because they lost. thats all it is. >> no, its not. >> yes. >> i think they lost. i think there are people who are deeply aggrieved. if thats your point -- >> theyre upset about the outcome. heather: deeply aggrieved. well, the crew of "the five" stopping off on the hail -- sounding off on the hail mary attempt to keep donald trump out of the white house. so why isnt there ...

Podesta? >> a lot of people listen to podesta. podesta has argument es to make. >> nobody thinks -- >> there was a time for that. >> november 8. >> thats where you are wrong. you are wrong. >> they are bound by law. >> they are not. >> they are being sued -- >> let me say -- >> the reason the founding fathers. liberals dont like the founding fathers. the founding fathers never intended it to be a rubber stamp. it was put there for a purpose. >> cnn called it election day as if the one a month ag...

Were hearing about hacking and problems with how the election was run, there really is no indication that the voting machines themselves were hacked, that the vote totals were changed. we have a recount going on now in wisconsin. the numbers are changing very little. so this is not the kind of situation where we think the actual numbers of votes have been manipulated by a foreign entity. if that were the situation, wed be in a very different posture and, as i said, if it were not a presidential ...

People who are voting in such large numbers that it would make a judge think that the election was not done in a way where you express the will of the voters. it wouldnt be based on just the leaking or stealing of information thats given to voters and that might influence the outcome of the election. its more complicated because we have a single election date for the president and there really isnt a provision for a do-over even if courts thought it needed to be done. >> so is there a -- when yo...

We used to talk about spin, right? but spin was about an accepted version of truth, you were just trying to put the best possible -- the 40-yard-line. >> now were just operating completely off the field. and he never, that i know of, ever says, oh, yeah, i got that one wrong or let me go back and do a do-over on that one. he just kind of moves on, leaving us in his wake, arguing about, bickering about what, you know, whether he was lying, whether the right word is lie. >> as a factual matter, ha...

State, these are not patronage jobs. i would be interested to hear what charlie thinks about this. we are going to find out a lot about this guy by who he picks. its not like he gets to have a first impression. people have fixed their opinion of donald trump. he does get a bit of a do-over. he is 1-2 so far. he is 1-2. priebus is a good pick and bannon, the king of the head bangers is a bad pick. we cant get our hair on fire every time he leaks a name except if its giuliani. he cannot make this ...

Mistake and thats why hes basically had to have a do-over. whether the substance is wrong is what they care about. the original investigation with all its research come to the right conclusion of no charges or wrong conclusion and folks can debate that from the outside. but the notion that a few more stray e-mails from a person, huma abedin, who was part of the original inquiry, were going to change that conclusion was always unlikely. >> ari melber, our chief legal correspondent. >> thank you. ...
