Said the rest of the world was laughing at us when we sign this thing. thats how he viewed this. he viewed it very much as america against the rest of the world which i believe is a misrepresentation of what was happening. the ivanka trump is an interesting question. one thing we learned about donald trump is he tends to respond most strongly to whoever he last spoke with. we are seeing now the fruits of that. a lot of folks who were trying to get in front of donald trump as he was trying to mak...

>> alex: we are talking about immunity deals are given to her i.t. guy. all those deals could be a misrepresentation of a statement, a failure to disclos disclose. failing to disclose that you uploaded emails to another server because im sure they grilled her about what did you do with all the emails you received? that alone could violate it. whether its republican or democrat, i believe that if you have evidence of corruption, you never eradicate. what happened to her? did she plead the fifth? ...

In sworn testimony completely misrepresents mistakes, whatever you want to call it, what happened with anthony weiner. that was the headline in every paper the next day. then it comes out that thats not the case. i would think as a democrat you would want him gone immediately, if not sooner. >> look, i am not happy with him. i have not been happy with him, quite frankly, since he was not fair in announcing who was being investigated and for what during the election, for both campaign. but it is ...
