Decisions, not the courts, not outsiders. >> right. i think youre eluding to a point thatnina was making earlier in other case law in controversial situations we know the court or a block of the court doesnt like to second guess potential national security in realtime. >> lower courts have made this decision before also. i mean if you look back, a federal judge said that a federal court should not even hear a case related to determining whether or not the chief executive can make or decide who c...

Competing world views. the majority opinion tried so very hard to give him every benefit of the doubt and gave him great deference as you said in the opening segment. it skirted over the questions of the on mouse that with believe was at the heart of this third proclamation. we believe they applied the wrong standard. they set the bar low that they could easily hurl over. at the end of the day i think this case will go down in history -- sg you >> youre saying they put the fix in by using a rati...

Is a subject -- theres an investigation coming out, that they will come forward. if theres anything inappropriate that witnesses see or experience or maybe theres a reach out from someone, i think it tells us certainly when it comes to the special counsel investigation, they are going to reach out to the special counsel, to the fbi because this is how -- we have heard about this. witnesses who have been before the special counsel and come out of there, their experience there. the fear that they ...

He did so by phone, encrypted messaging app according to prosecuters. one of them was so rattled he reported it to the fbi. he said he thought manafort was trying to get him to lie. thats the basis of the allegations, the motion to revoke manaforts bail and this new indictment accusing him of obstruction of justice. >> ken, i heard the sirens coming. if you need help with bail money, let us know. well help you out. nick, i want to -- you and i have been together talking about this since the begi...

Brought, and theyve done that so far. but i do think we have seen rudy giuliani sort of take this notion that you cant indict the president and use that to say, why should you subpoena him? why should he sit for an interview? this is part of it, the notion that trump and his associates colluded with russians are part of the investigation, just like obstruction of justice is part of the investigation. but the broader question is interference by russians in the 2016 election. this doesnt just get ...

Over there. i think we have 99% of our members to be signing on and well have conversations with the others about what the equities are. they think they win either way. if they get the bill, they have a policy piece. >> and i think a telegraph message is probably not what she wants to see, moving barred. it couldnt give. because it is bipartisan and simple, it will never come to pass. >> thats very well put. for us, when we come back, they say bob mueller has gone rogue. at the one-year mark, ...

This process with mccabe and with others, there is an ig report coming on fbi conduct. thats not the mueller thing, but i think some of what he conflates in all of this is some of the conduct he has a point about sometimes. >> he does, and he has a point of legitimate questions that are separate from him and he tries to use that to undermine anything about him. no, if youre under an investigation and its a legitimate investigation, which this is, prosecutors dont have to tell you anything while ...

This path? even if that is the case, it doesnt clear president trump by any means because democrats could take over the house if they do, and mueller puts out some report saying he did not follow typical guidelines, he tried to cover something up. they could very well impeach him skpe and hes going to be trouble in that one, too. >> there is no public evidence of collusion for the president. there is evidence of a lot of contacts before the campaign, during the campaign and during the transition...

>> the common link you tied together is a matter of omission. they have not been straight with the fisa court. they have it not been straight clearly in thehanman -- in the manafort case. this has to come out. there is no reason any longer if you want to go the trial with manafort you are not permitted to keep it confidential any longer. >> sean: the russian bot case is dead. they are not going to give -- they never thought these people will ever respond. mueller will have to drop it in my opini...

Concerned about that one bit. i dont care. i think any effort to save an american and robert mueller and the f.b.i., im all for it. i want to be clear. the issue becomes the hypocrisy of this. this is the same russian oligarch that they are using in the manafort case. and they never pointed it out. that is problem for me. not the little laws that were cited -- there might be a violation of law but im glad they tried hard to say this guy. that is my natural gut. >> yeah, sure, the real question i...
