To jeffs point about the importance of institutions, this is a part of an institution, the department of justice, that is there to protect and serve. not to serve political processes. ought to follow the processes in place. they are true, tried. they have worked for a very long time. unfortunately, now, theyre being ignored to our peril. >> jeff smith, you think this is a deliberate signal to the mike flynns, those who are cooperating already and also manafort under indict, not cooperating. rick...

Chairman goodlatte. some progress -- >> do you buy it? do you trust the leadership on this? do you guys need to go this alone? >> thats why we have parallel processes that are ongoing. we will continue conversations because we think its always worthwhile to have that dialogue. but just in case that doesnt work, and we know from the history of immigration reform in the house, theres a significant chance it doesnt work, we are also going to continue pressing forward on our discharge petition to gi...

>> the president is a master brander. i think what hes shown is that in many ways, when it comes to things that the public doesnt understand like investigative processes of the intelligence community, truth is in the eye of the beholder in a way. thats what hes doing here by playing to the public, by talking about spygate when theres no evidence. its a pattern. its been happening. theres a germ of something to hang these accusations on. theres some person that was involved. its not that they mad...

Exposé at the same time. there may be helpful facts in there. congress has independent oversight duty. judicial watch doesnt require congress to do the work. we shut down otherwise. we need many investigations to cover all the bases into this real distortion of our criminal processes to protect hillary clinton. >> melissa: once you have those investigations, though, the frustration out there in the public is it seems like there is no recourse. you sort of find out that someone did something, or...

There has been tension between the state department and the national security advisor over the planning of this summit that may or may not happen. mike pompeo, secretary of state, has a lot riding on this. he has invested a lot more in it. hes been to north korea twice, hes met personally with kim jong-un. on the other side you have john bolton who has made no secret over the years of how he feels about north korea and potential diplomatic talks. he does in the think that they are useful. he has...
