That other governments watched and may want to do the same. thats what we should be worried about. i feel like we view this as a version of the cold war. you have an old fashioned guy like bob mueller there talking about this changed and insecure world in which people with their phones can just dial in from anywhere in the world into our election process. think about the countries that would like to intervene. iranians, love to. north koreans. they have something theyd like to shift. the russian...

The other point i make, don, i hope director mueller will speak about the thing that most concerned me more than collusion or extortion is russian interference in our election process, which is director wray reaffirmed is continuing and this is long-term a really profound threat to this country and i hope director mueller speaks to that. >> director, i spoke today about what youre talking about, lets listen. >> the russians still trying to interfere in our election? >> the russians are absolutel...

The people cannot give that consent unless they know the facts. today was a watershed day in telling the facts to the american people. with those facts, we can proceed. and we face a time of great danger. richard nixon said he thought that the president was a dictator. he said if the president does it, that means its not illegal. president trump echoed that yesterday. he said under article 2, i, that is he, can do anything i want. that is a totalitarian picture, not a democratic picture. the uni...

Winning. and he was going to win regardless of who helped him. its pretty clear the trump team was willing to accept the help of russia. the fact that they lied about it tells you an awful lot about what they were trying to do. so that youve got an individual here who is not going to resist the russians coming in and messing around with our election process. that is the concern that i think all americans need to have. this is not a situation in which our commander in chief ought to be standing b...

In 2020. people are going to run for office. the american people have a right to cast their vote knowing that its not going to be interfered with from an adversary. today that is not the case. we are still looking at the russians continuing to interfere in our election process, and ill tell you whats worse. the russians are getting a message from this president and this administration that its okay to do that. thats the worst message of all. >> what do you make of his claim, admission? its more ...

Maybe scanned it and read reports of it and i think this will bring it to life behind the 448 pages. so in someways, depending on how the democrats manage this, i think it can be very informative. the other point i make, don, i hope director mueller will speak about the thing that most concerned me more than collusion or extortion is russian interference in our election process, which is director ray reaffirmed is continuing and this is long-term a really profou profound threat to this country a...

Not an allegation, i think its a reality thats not getting the attention it deserves, is that director mueller said today, he said previously the russians interfered with our 2016 election, the interference is continuing today. they did it before, theyre going to do it again and what troubles me as much as anything in addition to all the allegations and potential obstruction is the fact that we know that our fiercest adversary is poised to do it again this president has been abjectly ineffective...

Decision. it was so early, we didnt know if there was any truth to it. it would have been irresponsible to talk about it. all that said, yes, it makes me slightly sick to my stomach to think the fbi had any role in the election process in 2016. i hate that idea. we didnt want to be involved and we were stuck in the middle and had to make the least bad decision of bad options. >> after the mueller report came out and parallel and criticisms from barr came down on all sides. you were forced to mak...

Some extent, certain aspects of obstruction, not those by the president, but those of witnesses who refuse to speak truthfully to the investigators, who destroyed texts and other important evidence, that the investigation might have needed, that led mueller to conclude in his report that their investigation was materially impaired. thats if the house judiciary committee can do that much, they will have done a great deal and a great service already. the intelligence committees responsibility is t...
