♪♪ this sunday, classified controversy. attorney general merrick garland appoints a special counsel to investigate president bidens handling of classified documents. >> extraordinary circumstances here require the appointment of a special counsel for this matter. >> just months after a special counsel was appointed to investigate donald trump, the biden administration revealed classified documents were discovered in the presidents private office, and even in his private garage. >...

Easi easily. I completely agree on the delassification like that. The sources and that set a new precedent. It will be different for the investigation, turning over materials to congress. You turned over thousands of pages, in the middle of the investigation, now that it is closed you cant tell me you have any reason to hang on to that similar information. So good news and bad news for you. Were not going anywhere. Thats the bad news, the good news is it is your table now. Well, is that what hap...

Days of christmas werent enough. >> i think that matters on both sides of the aisle, what matters is national security, right? i think theres an acknowledgement, and frankly i dont know that thats unanimity. who said, hey, im not going to get on him setting up the transparency thing, and how they responded, et cetera, et cetera i think you will try to see republicans try to link these to other investigations -- for example, is there a hunter biden connection? >> i would think the fear is, revere...

Last night as you mentioned. the foreign policy challenge. if you leave a void, who gets hurt. a lot of people debating whether being over there was the right decision in the first place for so long. definitely a tough one and important story. i happen to be a fan. that is a transparency thing we call it. great to have you you back and congratulations on the new album. hope you will come back too sir. >> appreciate it. >> and everyone here is that album cover. finally tonight we want to update a...

Thats pretty fricking crazy. >> jesse: dana what do you think? "the washington post" says democracy dies in the darkness. >> dana: the arguing for transparency is usually your best argument with the media. we revere the first amendment. right? so the transparency thing is good. the stunt today of -- the president said i want the republicans to get tougher. theyll win the news cycle on that today. theyll drive the news. but when the majority of the house, democrats, have the gavel, theyre not aff...

As you mentioned, the fbi did not confirm theyre running these ads but there is now a tool on facebook where you can see what ads are running on them platform. we can see those ads are running from the fbis facebook page and a source tells us that they were running throughout the summer. >> so the fbi isnt confirming it, but you dont really need them to confirm it because of this transparency thing. so theyre targeting russians in d.c. is there anywhere else that you know they may be targeting r...

There. we have lindsey graham tweeting that he has been notified and he points to this transparency thing specifically. the department of justice seems to recognize that making an effort at transparency would be a real political problem for them, having the president coming out saying i want people to be able to see this. if it is hidden people can project whatever they want on to it. that is where i think we could turn to go next. barr said he may start talking to congressional leaders in the n...

Saying that what the g.o.p. has put together in their four page memo, it is misleading, it mischaracterizes what was happening, democrats saying they are working on their own memo where they can get a release because they cant get it to the boat. is that part of the transparency thing? wheel at the democrats released layers, too. its because we havent seen the memo yet. the republicans on the intel committee werent able to read the democrats memo. some gyrations there within the intel committee....

Stat. because what is coming up for them is they have to lay down the rules of the road and try to manage this in a way that sets an example for the country. mean itting is not hollywoods job to lead by example. not medias job. >> the congress job? it is on this issue. >> but that should be the role. and. though they are -- gravely remiss in managing this. that is what they should do. >> another question when we talk about transparency with this issue it cuts both ways. you see we should know al...

Its probably part of the realities of working inside this white house and with this president. you have somewhat fickle boss that youre working for inside there. and scaramucci in the past, remember, he started out as a big scott walker donor, big fund-raiser for him at the beginning of the republican campaign. then moved on to the jeb bush campaign and was sort of, i dont want to say a late-comer per se, but i am he didnt really join up with trump until last spring unwhen other republicans are ...
