Today. whats important here is that there is actually a pardon process in the department of justice that in normal times people go through. if you want a pardon, theres a way you can get one. but this extra process that the president is putting on where a film actor can call up and say pardon this person, or someone whos giving him legal advice can say pardon my other client. thats not normal. thats not how the pardon process is supposed to work. when you dont have a functioning pardon process, ...

Talked about isis, they have their own civil war. the question whether bashar al-assad remains in power. what are the goals going in? >> our strategy as stated repeatedly is to defeat isis, not to embroil ourselves in a syrian civil war, to contribute to ending that diplomatically. the problem with the strategy is we turn syria over to the russians and iranians and the iranians conduct a military buildup to encroach on israel. this would likely pool us back in and we havent defeated basis yet, t...

Subsequently rejected all their immigration propose alsz. alex, as we try to make sense of this and put context around this, i can tell you that people close to the president says one of the reasons hes targeting democrats and accusing them of being responsible for killing any prospect of a daca deal is because he doesnt want those on the left to be able to use the absence of a daca deal as a political weapon as we head into the 2018 midterms. >> thank you very much geoff bennett. joining me cen...

States who refuses to meet a threat by a -- meet a foreign threat is himself a domestic threat. and i cannot say that strongly enough. this is no other -- no different than any other massive attack on the country. if it were done by people running into buildings and walking out with cartons of papers, it would be the same thing. if they were russians on american soil, which there were according to this indictment, by the way, we would respond differently. any other president would respond differ...

Should be a top priority. and the trend line is going down and away from this. quite frankly, yamiche, this president is somebody who called himself the king of debt. i mean, it doesnt -- it seems as though this may be yet another example of, you know, a party that believes one thing, running into some trouble with the president that believes something else. >> yeah. the issue is that the president is the one thats going to be -- i think there was a lot of question whether or not president trump...

Makes sense they would say no, it doesnt. >> im going to ask our producing team to put this poll that was on the screen back up because i want to underscore this point, too. this is part of what mcconnell is reflecting. what youre looking at is how many americans think that reducing our budget deficit should be a top priority. and the trend line is going down and away from this. quite frankly, yamiche, this president is somebody who called himself the king of debt. i mean, it doesnt -- it seems ...

Have a higher than normal obligation to ensure that they do everything they possibly can in train, prevention, detection, and critically, prosecution. when i heard that clip from the oxfam man that you just put on, we took immediate and serious action. are you kidding me? if these were adult prostitutes youve broken the law in haiti so you should have reported them to the police. if any of these prostitutes were under age, then these british aid workers have actually broken british sex tourism l...

Drebin, solicit or of the united states and the most constitutional appellate lawyer in the country at the moment. im sure he fully researched the question whether, one, you can abuse your powers by firing people and also whether you can be indicted while in office. so that is a secondary question. because some people say he can only indict after he leaves office. he can be impeached while in office. so there is a lot there. >> even if you say the president has the constitutional right to fire w...
