Jillian joining michael finance legal team. To assist the dismissal. Jillian the attorney general leading the charge joins us now. So you are leading this group, tell us what is in it. It is a separation of powers problem. The decision belongs solely to the executive branch and having decided that this was not a righteous prosecution, the prosecution side, they dont have a right to secondguess that. Rob lets look at this declassified susan rice email. President obama and if comey was saying the nsc should not pass Sensitive Information related to russia to michelson comey replied potentially. He has no indication thus far that flynn past classified information to Sergey Kislyak but the level of communication is unusual. Democrats are focusing on the level of communication is unusual, just place sanctions on russia, wiseman talking to kislyak this much . What do you make of that email . It is part of a troubling record that shows the government didnt have clean hands when they started this investigation and that is part of the reason the attorney general ultimately decided this is not a righteous prosecution in the untruthfulness such as it is was not material as lawyers say, doesnt support a prosecution. Jillian heres the response from rices team, the email makes clear no discussion of Law Enforcement matters or investigations took place despite accusations to the contrary. Your thoughts on that and your response . This is part of the foundation that didnt exist was the government shouldnt be allowed to just call a citizen in and interview them for no reason or without a good reason, without a nexus to a crime, to hold otherwise is to allow unlimited fishing license. Rob there are two sides of this, republicans saying the whole case, the judge, sullivan, is partisan, democrats thing William Barrs recommendation to drop this is partisan. Tell us why people should believe you. Reporter i understand there are two signs, the constitution places the responsibility for this decision with the prosecutor. State attorneys general are the chief law offices, executive officers, the ones that make decisions whether to bring the case or not. The end of the day when the judge gets off the bench, tries to go to the prosecution table the judge is forfeiting that impartiality we need in the constitutional system. We cant sit at the prosecution table and on the bench. I dont think this can go forward constitutionally. Jillian things spiral in different sides take away Different Things they want to see and i feel like nothing is coming to a close. Do you think we will get these answers and this will come to an actual close at any point soon . Any point soon . Not too soon, just put on a briefing deadline that extends into june. We have a few weeks, we get to a place where there is decision, there was a famous action filed in the court of appeals by flynns team. At the end of the day everybody out to be concerned, whether you like or dislike William Barrs decision, executive branch, this fall, the rest of the record, whether you like or dislike it you should be for the constitutional limitations that those judges dont get to climb off the bench and sit down at the prosecution table.
