Is doing and trying to figure out a strategy around what they see on twitter along with us. anne gearan, leah wright, thank you for your time and insights. former special counsel robert muellers testimony on the hill might have marked a turning point in the debate over impeachment. over 100,000 democrats are now calling for an inquiry against president trump, and this includes more than a dozen lawmakers who came forward after hearing testimony from mueller last wednesday. the latest wave of c...

Next director of national intelligence. do you believe he is qualified? >> absolutely not. i was horrified by the distortions in his presentation with mueller last week. and it is terrible to think because he made a splash on national television hes now qualified to be dni. dan coats was a remarkable leader. a republican but a long-time senator and intelligence committee who was ambassador to germany for three or four years. he had the insight on intelligence for decades before he was appointed ...

Travels internationally, a lot of times he spends time focussing on whats happening -- >> he brings politics with him, doesnt he? >> he brings a lot of politics with him. he talks about his 2020 election. sometimes he tries to get foreign leaders to involve themselves in the u.s. 2020 presidential election, like he did back in japan, tweeting about how foreign leaders are calling him, saying they dont want president trump to continue to be president. theyd rather negotiate with someone like joe ...

Trying to paint them as this den of hillary clinton supporters out to get him. over the summer, rudy giuliani, the angry democrats. theyve tried so many different tactics to discredit the fbi. i view this as one more attempt. >> one of the reporters from the daily caller was out last night talking about one piece of this which is the president saying hed never spoken with acting attorney general matt whitaker about this investigation. here it is. >> broadly, i asked him about the mueller report ...

Tomorrow. but i do think its appropriate. i think bill barr, if confirmed, is an institutionalist. i trust him to make the right call on this. whether the president revisits his decision not to interfere, we shall see. >> then you have this piece of news. special counsel prosecutors saying russians used materials from their office to try and discredit their investigation. robert muellers team originally gave those materials to a company called concord management. thats one of the russian entitie...

A round table exactly once and thought it was one more than he should have done. he did appear at news conferences. its just not his style. of course his obligations are different as this special council as well. this court document was prepared last friday but it wasnt actually filed on the court docket until today. so this is a little bit of strategy on the part of the special council. why were they cutting the lawyer a break here? not exactly sure why but it wasnt a public document friday eve...
