and crucially he knows he is not supposed to do what he s doing, not supposed to get involved, admitting at much in a radio interview yesterday. you know, the saddest thing is that because i m the president of the united states, i am not supposed to be involved with the justice department. i m not supposed to be involved with the fbi. i m not supposed to be doing the kind of things that i would love to be doing. and i am very frustrated by it. i look at what s happening with the justice department. why aren t they going after hillary clinton with her e-mails and with her the dossier. if we haven t yet heard widespread calls for impeachment, it s because this president s disregard for the rule of law for democratic norms, his authoritarian impulses are largely baked in in the country s perception, even among political insiders. it was just a couple of days ago, for example, that he called the american criminal justice system a joke and a laughing stock. on top of that, all indic
fbi before he fired him last february. setting off a new round of questions about whether the president s actions amount to obstruction of justice. well, if you take the president s own statement, his tweet that he knew michael flynn was lying to the fbi when he fired him, which means that he knew michael flynn had committed a felony when he asked comey to stop the investigation. and when he fired comey when he refused to do so and when he fired sally yates and when he called michael flynn in april to tell him to stay strong. all of these acts are to impede and obstruct justice. a source close to the white house acknowledging the severity of the misstep to the washington post which writes a person close to the white house involved in the case turned the saturday tweet a screw up of historic proportions that has caused enormous consternation in
to in legal circles about whether or not a lawyer would have sent a tweet or even dictated a tweet like the one that came from the pres
the dni and the rest of the national security establishment? a question a lot of people are asking this hour. we re going to take you through the much balihooed memo release, what it means for the russia investigation and discuss potential resignations or firings of senior d.o.j. or fbi leadership. let s get right to it with our experts. jeremy bash, former chief of staff at both the cia and pentagon. now an msnbc national security analyst. matt miller, former chief spokesman for the justice department in the obama administration, now an msnbc justice and security analyst. chuck rosenberg, a former u.s. attorney who has worked on the staffs of both robert mueller and james comey at the fbi and is now an msnbc contributor. and with us on-set, nbc s ken delanian and republican strategist steve schmidt. jeremy bash, let me start with you on this idea that carter

really incontrovertible and available in the public domain. while this admission might seem in significant, it s not. for more than a year president trump has refused to accept that russia meddled calling the probe a hoax and a witch hunt. the russia story is a total fabrication fabrication. it s just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of american politics. this russia thing with trump and russia is a made up story. the entire thing has been a witch hunt. how many times do i have to answer this question? it s a ruse. i ve been in office 11 months. for 11 months they ve had phony cloud over our government. it s a democrat hoax brought up for an excuse losing ha election frankly the democrats should have won because they have such

those guys in pennsylvania and west virginia will not help him. the kids are coming to washington in two weeks. maybe a million of them demanding something be done. he can t hide in the white house bunker when kids and teachers say you have to do something. at that 340e789 it, hope hicks, his most loyal person walks. there s a lot there. you ve seen the unraveling of the power structure. veteran republican operatives, seasoned military figures and the family and inner circle. hope hicks, if josh rafael. jared kushner is supposed to carry on our most secret sensitive negotiations? hope hicks leaving, josh leaving. on guns, republican feeling the heat. rick gates turning on him, flynn already turning on him. manafort about to. on guns the republicans are feeling the heat. suburban voters in places like philadelphia want to see gun control.
republicans know the nra gets base voters to come out. they need to show some movement. that s why you saw the president today trying to
a lot of big things coming next weekend. jason chaffetz is sitting in for laura ingraham tonight. hope you have a great weekend. we ll see you back here on monday. good evening from washington welcome to the the ingraham angle . i m jason chaffetz in for laura tonight. we have a great show full of big stories an breaking news. democrats and republicans cooperated to end a government shutdown but many conservatives are not celebrating. we ll tell you why. and we have ambassador john bolton on the odd couple at the olympics. vice president mike pence sitting almost next to the sister of north korea s dictator. president trump has decided tonight he cannot release the democrat s fisa memo. he is inclined to release it but it needs changes because it contains classified material and a very sensitive passage. let s go to fox s ed henry now with more. this is a bit of a surprise.

reporter. she is the co-author of our exclusive nbc news report from just last night on robert mueller asking witnesses if trump knew with these hacked democratic e-mails before they were released. also back with us, jeremy bash, former chief of staff at the cia and pentagon. and we welcome back to the program, cynthia alneya, a federal prosecutor and a justice department veteran. welcome to you all. carol, about tonight s story, what is its central impact the your view? well, as you mentioned, this hacking and leaking strategically is the worst part. so this is significant in the sense we knew this was happening. but if mueller decides to move forward with an indictment, to me the key question is whether or not there are any americans that are tied to this. it s one thing for him to indict russians who will probably never be extradited and come over and
stand trial in the united states. it s an entirely different ball game if there are americans named or unnamed should he decide
