Salient Question News Today

board. >> mike allen, thank you for that, and enjoy your weekend and thanks to all of you for getting up "way too early" with us on this friday morning. "morning joe" starts now. let me say that i not like one of those booster rockets that has fulfilled its function and i will now be gently reentering the atmosphere and splashing down invisibly in some remote and obscure corner of the pacific. and i am returning to my plan, and i will be offering this government nothing but the most ...

it contributes to the looming specter of -- if there is a second trump presidency. former peach manager joins me live to discuss the speaker dubbed mega mike. impeachment, despite having no concrete evidence to make their case, speaker mike johnson will have the house vote this week to begin an impeachment inquiry into president biden. white house spokesperson, ian sams, is here with the administrations response. and, listen up biden, the new chair of the democratic governors associati...

Commissioned by the attorney general. we saw, as you were reading through the comments from the trump campaign manager and all of this, what i am struck by his on the question of impeachment i think the actual salient question is whether public opinion moves significantly on the question of impeachment. because i am skeptical that it will. because weve had this report and there is nothing new today that wasnt already in the report. the polls have shown that people are bored of this issue, for th...

Are talking about comey? talk about before you are against it and then for it, the republicans loved and hated them, we are saying the same thing with mueller. now we love him, we hate them, which one is it? to this point, this entire thing is political. there is no question that the only way the ball moves as if public opinion moves. that is sad, because again, were talking about article impeachments. this is serious matters. should be moved by politics but it will be. >> lisa: hes making the c...

Of the special counsel investigation. one was russian election interference. he said it was serious and systematic. it involves russian military intelligence and military assets. targeting, he didnt name the campaign, but it was the clinton campaign with the hacking and theft of emails. and using social media to amplify messages that further divided the american people. on the question of obstruction, robert mueller was very clear that he felt he could not get out of the gate on any kind of char...

And interesting. i think the subject we have been seizing on, and sort of ruminating on here, is this apparent massive discrepancy -- canyon -- between what william barr testified and what mueller said today about this olc guidance piece of this. where it seems that they are at complete loggerheads on that question. i know a lot of people are wondering, was mueller coming out today and effectively accusing barr of lying about that exchange that they had in private? and that might be the case, ex...

Continue investigation. i think some of these 2020 folks are using more pointed and incendiary language to basically take it one step further and say, "we need to jump on the gun for impeachment." one other quick thing i want to note, though, because of the discrepancies between barr and mueller, i think we may see a contempt vote on the floor sooner rather than later. for barr. and i also think we need to maybe think about what happens at the house -- excuse me, the senate. which is controlled ...

Mueller that that was not the case. only mueller now -- he is the last piece of this puzzle. he needs to be asked specifically, did those conversations happen question because the attorney general lying about them? i would be shocked if his answer was yes. >> katie: the dealer gsa it was never. but capitol hill and the politics, this is your area of expertise. how did they do with us now question rick will be the far left of the party, or is nancy pelosi really going to have a challenge trying t...

Justin just as it was treated after the statement. i think this is really a political matter but how speaker pelosi is really going to have to battle with on the house side. its probably after this going to take us well into the election cycle as my head that way. >> katie: hey, bret. katie pavlich here. on the political note, what is the white house doing to prepare for this impeachment? he said he will pursue what he said were crimes that the president has committed. hes not giving an allegati...

Tomorrow, we expect a decision tonight whether they are actually going to move forward. at this point it is still touch and go, greta, whether republicans will have those votes in the face of a unified democratic opposition here in the house. >> mike, thank you. with me syndicated columnist george will. george, what do you think? >> we know exactly where the $8 billion will come from. its where we get all our money, from people who bought treasury bills will borrow it. this is about numbers and ...
