The judiciary committee. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein is laughing after what might be a stressful week. the president retweeted an image with his perceived enemies with the words, when do the trials for treason begin. with rosenstein as one of the people depicted inside that prison cell. when asked during an interview with the new york post why do you think he belongs behind bars, president trump responded, he should have never picked a special counsel. during his speech on cyber cri...

Overheard, and just what other evidence there is. we know theres a couple areas at least that the special prosecutor is really focused on intently. this trump tower meeting where the topic was dirt on hillary clinton, opposition research. we also know about the wikileaks disclosure and the leaking of all of those e-mails and hacking. we know in both instances the president publicly said this is all great, who wouldnt want opposition research? i love wikileaks. all of that was happening contempor...

Arabia. >> yes. >> harris: in the last few hours senator lindsey graham has come out strong on the issue. he wont even vote from the spending bill until he hears from the c.i.a. director gina haspel. why wasnt she there? >> first, i respect lindsey grahams position. he is right. the c.i.a. director was not there. i wish she had been there. but i think i know why she wasnt there. i think that she is worried about something that she would tell us leaking. >> harris: was she invited? >> i dont know...

And a big speech about hillary clinton and her wrong doings coming a few days after that. that speech doesnt happen. a month later donald trump is standing on a podium. i was there. right after the convention after hes the official nominee of the republican party. dnc e-mails started leaking out. the questions of why did they -- who hacked them and who is doing the leaking are percolating. the idea is that maybe its russia from some intelligence sources. donald trump is asked about it while stan...

A lot until he is ready to share that. the one thing you dont do to bob mueller, dont lie to im. thats been something drilled into him from the beginning, everyone knows that. >> republican leaders, mitch mcconnell, paul ryan, the list goes on, are they going to weigh in here? >> when you talk to them privately the last year and a half they say well see what happens because they dont want to deal with the daily lies and the leaking and explosions around the clock. so what they say is well just -...

Bob muellers office doesnt leak, but one of their potential criminal targets is leaking. the entire draft indictment and statement of offense, i want to show it to you right here. this is a draft court document mueller said he could use to charge jerome corsi, a rod rosenstein associate with lying to the fbi about several things, including conversations he had with stone that relate to wikileaks. thats why the name of a very controversial figure who, according to this leak could be charged with ...

Now, remember, during watergate, richard nixon could have tried pardoning all those burglars early on to shut them up just like trump could have tried pardoning manafort, flynn, or gates, say, two years ago. for all the bluster, trump has not done that yet for the same reasons nixon didnt do it even as things got worse -- because pardoning the guilty people in a conspiracy in the middle of an open probe does make you look like youre part of the conspiracy. and trump continues to insist hes not p...

On and the judge will have to make a decision. also mueller said i will file a memo in detail and manaforts crimes and lies. mueller has been limited because of his position in what he can say possibly and his team has not done a lot of leaking. one area where he is not limit side what he can say in a court filing. he can say anything he wants to in and we learned most of what we know has been in a sentence or two or a page or three that he puts in the court filings. all right facing 10 years an...

Of day until he is very, very old. steve: could any of the information the president provided with his written answers been involved in this? judge: it okay i understand that there is speculation on other networks. i cant speculate because i havent seen the questions or answers. steve: muellers team isnt leaking. >> i dont think they are to be honest with you. i know there is a lot of criticism with them. i havent seen any leaking or any exaggeration. they are going by the book. brian: i reject ...

Attorney general as you said. i think leaking is an interesting term in washington, d.c. its just ridiculous. i think this needs to go through the proper channels, thats the thing many of us have been saying all along, do what youre supposed to do and be done with it and i think the president has made a very valid point in saying lets finish it, there is no collusion and move forward because if its just political, this is not the right arena for this, this is a legal finding and theres been no c...
