The house intelligence committee, other republicans have commented on the fact that they didnt actually call before the committee a lot of these members that weve now learned from the trump campaign who are part of robert muellers campaign like papadopoulos. rick gates is another example. let me pivot to other news out of the department of justice. i want to get to the appointment of this u.s. attorney y utah to investigate potential fbi abuses of power and how the clinton investigations were ha...

There are some things that a special counsel can do and were not there yet. i agree with rick on the fisa issues, you cant investigate yourself within d.o.j., cozy bureaucracy of protectionism. leaving the door open, a prosecutor that can empanel a grand jury, can have subpoena power, is different than an i.g. who cant subpoena people once they left the bureau. the clinton issue is an ongoing investigation. you arent reopening an investigation you are actually going back into it f there is actio...

Able to function. we have a couple of bad apples who were caught red-handed and were removed from the process. but really, we have the new paul manafort connection to the russian intelligence and that is not what we are talking about. >> shannon: lisa? >> there are also bad actors that were helping to lead these investigations, that is where the concern boils down to. i do think to ethans point, michael horowitz will be deemed as a more objective investigator. however he doesnt have the prosecut...

Embedded that the fbi is not able to function. we have a couple of bad apples who were caught red-handed and were removed from the process. but really, we have the new paul manafort connection to the russian intelligence and that is not what we are talking about. >> shannon: lisa? >> there are also bad actors that were helping to lead these investigations, that is where the concern boils down to. i do think to ethans point, michael horowitz will be deemed as a more objective investigator. howeve...

Procedures, they went by the book, even though an innocent person was apparently killed. if they went by the book and an innocent person was killed, do you need to change the book? >> you may have to. thats all processes and protocols. the two police officers exonerated, essentially not indicted by the state of louisiana, the attorney general, they may still lose their job for not following departmental procedures. but did what they do, was that murder or manslaughter? i would argue that the fir...

Don. the most important one is that we lost clinton 9-0. the court rejected the position we argued. so the law is established by clinton against jones that you can actually make a president go through a civil trial while hes in office. and so -- and sets a very high standard for exempting or immuneizing a president from the ordinary criminal processes. but moreover, i argued in clinton against jones that an actual civil trial ought to be postponed. not that the complaint should be dismissed. and...

Actually taking care of the statute of limitations problem that a president could go free if the time expired for criminal charges while he was in office. >> let me ask you this, because mr. dellinger, you argued the clinton v. jones case before the supreme court, making the case that indicting president clinton would keep him from doing the job of running the country, and that turned out to be a losing argument. so why are you arguing the other side when it comes to this president, to president...

Be the pressure on the existing legal team. theres no other way of saying it, theyre fighting a war now on two fronts. >> they are. theyre fighting multiple battles. theyre fighting both the stormy daniels battle and the trump/russia investigation battle. and to make matters worse. i mean in no way to den great jay, but hes essentially taking on a criminal probe on his own and its a lot like sending a heart surgeon in to do brain surgery. thats something you wouldnt do in medicine. and the same ...

Question, whether the president will be able to attract the type of lawyer he needs to bring some semblance of order to his legal processes. >> phil, i know neither you nor i is in charge of this kind of thing. but where would it originate in the white house, a plan to send the president to the washington subway system, to any number of interstate highways, an hours drive or helicopter flight from the white house. you name the big-ticket item in this country and its suffering/dilapidated, in nee...

Question, whether the president will be able to attract the type of lawyer he needs to bring some semblance to his processes. >> where would it originate in the white house, a plan to send the president to the washington subway system? to any number of interstate highways, an hours drive or helicopter flight from the white house. you name the big ticket item in this country. and its suffering/dlab dated in need of repair or replacement. if they want to do an inf infrastructure event, they merely...
