Page 2 - House Changes Hands News Today

Midterm elections come around, if the house changes hands, this committee will be gone. >> carol, what do you think is next for the january 6th committee? >> i think whats next is going to be some really full-throated public hearings. the hearings that people wanted for the mueller investigation where there would be wide-open kimono, an amazing soap opera on your national television screen every morning, in which firsthand witnesses who were there, some of whole you probably dont recognize their...

>> this is -- this is really interesting. its very murky. the last time this kind of happened was with ali north and the iran contra investigation. and so, what happened there is congress really wanted the information, so they granted north immunity to testify. and so, thats what bannons lawyers are probably going to be working on right now. is they will say, okay, well show up. well testify. as long as you give us immunity from prosecution. that means the prosecutors have to ignore anything he ...

Get to the november elections, and maybe the house changes hands and then the whole thing gets dropped. >> well also, john dean, to the professors point, you know, bannon as a vested interest in not talking not only because it may incriminate him in some way. but his whole, you know, podcast, his whole career depends on the continued support of the former president. and also, all the followers of the former president. and if he is suddenly the guy who, you know, gets a deal and then testifies, t...

Tonight and i quote, saying "his lawsuit is nothing more than an attempt to delay and obstruct our probe. precedent and law are on our side." is trumps lawsuit just a delay tactic or do you think it can work? >> i dont think it can work. i think it is a delay tactic. keep in mind that the house is currently controlled by the democrats, who formed this select committee to investigate the dogs of january 6th. theyre only going to be in office for another year and a couple of months if the house ch...

Work? >> i dont think it can work. i think it is a delay tactic. keep in mind that the house is currently controlled by the democrats who formed this select committee to investigate the going, the doings of january 6th. theyre only going to be in office for another year and a couple of months if the house changes hands. and as weve seen in other litigations including with the respect to the former white house counsel, if you get into litigation and get this stuff into the courts, it takes time a...

So, this is probably about where it would land a little bit. >> harris: do think michael cohen is someone that mueller or democrats on the capitol hill can really lean on in terms of getting more information? hes got quite a gap between now and march 6th before he has to report to federal prison. >> well, they are going to continue to try and squeeze him. the question is -- and this is what i keep wondering -- youve got prosecutors who said he is inherently unreliable in the sense that his verac...

I agree completely with jill on this. its so outside the rules of norm and i expect we could see subpoenas on them once the house changes hands. >> thank you both so much. why wildfires like the ones in california could become more commonplace but why wont the president believe it? fire pit. last use -- 0600. id stay close. morning. ♪ get ready to switch. protected by flo. should say, "protected by alan and jamie." -right? -should it? when you bundle home and auto... run, alan! ...you get more...

House is at risk. >> maybe if you use the fear factor and you say look, people, you know, all of this benefit that youve gotten with a better economy could go up in smoke if the house changes hands, maybe that will resonate. im not sure. people get comfortable, kind of comfortable, katherine. theyre like all right, things are okay. so unless theyre like emotionally excited about something or emotionally attached to an issue, its hard to get that base out to the polls in something like a mid-term...

Obviously that is a narrative. what has to happen first. mueller will have to issue the report and if the house changes hands, you could see the impeachment process. >> and the question of the subpeona, well see another piece of information leaked. that the mueller people are considering subpeonaing the president. the white house will say well reject that. >> we dont know if mueller will do this? we have never had this come to conflict nixon was evidence and tell. but bill clinton was testifying...

So willing to turnover these documents and he was convinced, he convinced the president this thing would all be over soon if they just cooperated and give everything up and turn everything over. this will be over by thanksgiving. obviously that hasnt happened. and the question i have is, is emmet flood going to strike a very different posture with mueller? and i think the other thing thats going on here is the trump team is looking down the road and they see the value of having somebody like emm...
