the process doesn t work that way. he is accountable for this investigation. the fact that he showed no interest in the genesis of this hoax, the fact that officials at the highest level of the justice department, the fbi, intelligence agents, agencies, were colluding to develop and foist this hoax on the american people, there were two government interfering in the 2016 election. there was the russian government, there was also the obama administration. heather: we are going to get information, maybe mister mueller didn t do enough diligence on that side of the story but we have an ig report coming up. mister bar is coming out with his own report. i want to ask about your committee which is headed by jerry nadler. jerry nadler spoke after robert mueller spoke, a written statement he didn t seem familiar with. he flubbed what he was reading but seems he was asked a
arthel: fallout continues after robert mueller made his first public remarks on the russia probe. the former special counsel making it clear he has no intention to appear before congress. but that seems to have had the opposite effect as members from both sides of the aisle demand that mr. mueller testify. here s house judiciary committee member tom mcclintock earlier today on cavuto live. now he s coming back, dropping little innuendos and saying by the way don t question me. well, i m sorry, the process doesn t work that way. if jerry nadler is listening to you right now, you want him to subpoena mr. mueller? very much, and it s his responsibility to do so. and it s something that he s been promising to do, so let s do it. arthel: that was david asman in for neil cavuto today. on set with me is robert shock, former prosecutor, and richard paul, good to have both of you. good to be here.
united states? traditionally they would be able to be considered. i think many people are gaming the system so we should be highly skeptical however the united states has always been a refuge for the persecuted. but if those things are no longer this administration considered things worthy of asylum, no? coming from a crumby place isn t reason for asylum. if you are being persecuted because of some classification, your race, religious beliefs, gender. if you re truly being persecuted because of those issues, those are legitimate reasons for asylum in the united states and we have a process to apply for that. the process doesn t include a thousand people waving a foreign flag and firing projectiles, throwing rocks at our customs and border protection agents. the majority of whom, by the way, are hispanic. that is not the process trying
