Committee. what are they going to do? nothing. this is where you warehouse this problem for a period of time. republicans and democrats alike have an interest in not setting a threshold which is credible accusation equals a resignation. that means not only can roy moore not come into the united states senate but donald trump would have to resign. we are relitigating all of this stuff, we are going back to bill clinton. we have a fight going on inside the democratic party over whether bill clinto...

Special counsel. so there is a threshold that has to be met and i dont think it has been met. >> bill: obvious points there. he says the system is already built for this. what do you think about that? >> you can start the initial preliminary investigation without a special counsel. congressman gowdy, i completely agree with him. he is a good friend of ours. at the second stage if you move on in the investigation you have to look at conflicts and to appoint a special counsel it is not just confli...

Testimony, glenn simpson did acknowledge that he paid former british by christopher steele to do opposition research on donald trump. but when he authored the dossier, simpson admits he never verified certain aspects of it. he never traveled to russia and never spoke with any of the underlying sources of the dossier. but today, simpsons attorney said that in hindsight the document looks "quite accurate." g.o.p. congressman trey gowdy, who sits on the intel committee says it would never stand up ...

Members who voted no on this. they could afford about 22. they got no democratic support, which again, is not a surprise. this thing came down to a party-line vote. republicans have known for quite a while its possible their majorities in both houses of congress will depend on them passing this. so they very much rallied the troops and got it done. i can tell you im standing, i dont know, 25 feet from the house floor and when they got across that threshold the republicans knew they had enough vo...

There are serious questions about the uranium one deal and there is a lot of information out there, some accurate, some inaccurate. i hope that they dont appoint a special prosecutor unless the attorney general examines the situation, examines the statute and finds that the very high threshold for a special prosecutor is justified. if they need to investigate, better to do it through the regular main justice rather than appoint a special prosecutor. >> bill: thats basically what trey gowdy said ...

You are on record as saying thats what you think is necessary here. >> i think it would likely lead to that because of the conflicts at the department of justice. rod rosenstein the deputy a.g. for the trump/russia. he appointed that special counsel was involved in the prosecution of one of these russian officials that was doing the bribery for the uranium one deal in 2015. he sent him to prison and prosecuted him. he has probably got maybe a conflict there. >> bill: you are making the case that...

Simpsons lawyer concedes for the first time his client briefed the media on the dossier paid for by the dnc and clinton campaign. >> sandra: did we learn any more about the credibility of the dossier? >> without getting into concrete examples, simpsons lawyer said the research is solid. >> this experienced official came back with a report that now in hindsight looks quite accurate. >> last hour the senior republican on the house intelligence committee who led that partys questioning characterize...

Require a special counsel.. >> sean: the department of justice has since put out statements are made to further explain attorney general jeff sessions comments. it says "the attorney general was clarifying the legal basis for appointing a special counsel, not passing judgment on whether it applied in any specific investigation." that statement and sessions testimony today is crucial in all of this.es sessions is explaining that just because a special counsel has not been appointed, that does not...

Devin nunes can subpoena people and ask why they approved the uranium one deal. doj can open an investigation into fusion gps and ask why were you doing what you were doing and spreading misinformation on behalf of a foreign state? the whole reason we have were having this conversation there is a justified perception thater i can holder and loretta link and james comey didnt do their jobs properly and the pay to play uranium one and the clinton foundation. they became heavily politicized under o...
