Inquiry. we want an open, public inquiry, bipartisan inquiry to make theyu never intrude on the election. instead what we get is behind closed doors, grand jury, we will never learn anything. everyone is yelling "lock him up, lock her up." thats not the way to proceed. we shouldnt be criminalizing political differences. we should be gathering information from every side. this was a terrible election. it was an election filled with problems and we ought to use itw as a lesson to avoid problems li...

Campaign, america first. and when you look at the presidents actions, it doesnt line up with everything he said in his speech. america alone -- america first has been america alone, pulling out the paris agreements, pulling his language on north korea. that is out of step with diplomacy. when you look at the presidents actions and you try to square that with some of his message, there is an inconsistency here. >> well, there was also another curious discrepancy. and that is that in the papers, t...

Compliments on the american economy under trumps leadership. and now we have putin asking trump to express his gratitude to the cia. what does it say about the dynamics of their relationship right now? >> thanks for having me back. i have to agree with juliet that its odd. you have findings of our intelligence community that russia, led by putin, attacked our democratic processes. you have trump refusing to acknowledge that. and then you have this peculiar bromance. im glad we alerted the russia...

Us, break it down. what is it that special counsel muellers office allegedly did wrong. >> the claim is they didnt go through the proper legal processes in terms of applying for access to these emails. in a normal situation one might assume they would go with a subpoena or with a warrant to the actual server position. in this case kit would be the gsa. but instead of doing that. they simply requested the material from the gsa. a lot of material. and in doing so were not fulfilling at least the s...

Of these investigations. its very worrisome and sends a disturbing signal to allies and partners who are concerned about the democratic processes as well. its naivety or ignorance or fear that mr. trump is doing with the russians. >> the threat of a muller removal. we are talking about the rule of law here. >> we really are. good afternoon to you. listen to the irony here. the whole import of the russian investigation is because of the undermining of our democracy. how much would it undermine ou...

Sba, which has been almost a year-long project, probably next spring, well roll it out with new outward facing messaging logos, resource materials for our district offices, and were doing much more on social media now. so sbas not going to be the best-kept secret by the end of 2018. >> for people who complain about red tape around loans? >> cut it. >> when we come back in a year do you think theyre going to be complaining less? >> i think they will. because through technology were absolutely mak...

The other thing the source says is that robert muellers special counsel team has used information gleaned from these e-mails as part of its ongoing russia probe. so thats another sort of marker that we should lay down. this person does believe that mueller obtained -- muellers team obtained those e-mails from the federal government unlawfully, improperly. muellers team, we should say, is defending its processes, defending its work. and so, you know, you have here, as some people have said, they ...

>> thank you. >> back now with the panel. joining the conversation also is former congressman jack kingston. >> does this concern you? i mean the idea that -- one reading of "the washington post" report is that the presidents own -- i dont know if its insecurity or belief that people are trying to diminish him or his totally legitimate election result is preventing him and the u.s. government from addressing a serious national security problem. >> its worth noting, hes publically said he trusts ...

Report is that the presidents own -- i dont know if its insecurity or belief that people are trying to diminish him or his totally legitimate election result is preventing him and the u.s. government from addressing a serious national security problem. >> he publicly said he trusts his intelligence agencies and he believes there was meddling. >> he said that only after controversy? >> he did. this is a report of whats -- people trying to characterize his briefings. the russians interfered in our...

You know, distraction. its all part of the campaign to essentially undermine the investigation. the problem is these an all alternative processes. i dont know if you remember when we gotten in trouble with iraq, we had alternative processes. this makes it hard to know where authority is and how to govern and what to believe and not to believe. >> but bob mueller removed the fbi agent in question from the investigation. it wasnt like bob mueller got caught and then they had to do something. they ...
