Country. We were finally beginning to listen to women about the ways in which mens actions affect them. Then the conversation turned to me. Some of the allegations against me are simply not true. Others i remember very differently. I know theres been a different picture of me painted over the last few weeks, but i know who i really am. Jesse although franken refused to knowledge the allegations, he ultimately caved to pressure to step down. In the coming weeks, i will be resigning. This decision is not about me. Its about the people of minnesota. This has been a tough few weeks for me, but im a very, very lucky man. I have a beautiful, healthy family. But i love him that loves me very much. Im going to be just fine. Jesse you know what i didnt hear him say, dana . Im sorry. Dana i think he truly believes he didnt do anything wrong. He has watched other people deny allegations and be just fine. I think he thought he could weather the storm but there were additional anonymous accusers that were coming forward and i think basically democrats are saying you are no longer welcome here. And youre going to be sitting alone in the Senate Dining room. No one is going to talk to you. You are dead to us. Im curious about the decision to resign in the coming weeks. Jesse what do you think thats about . Dana i heard a theory. I told greg and the green room. This is not my theory. Greg that he is a space alien . Shape shifting lizard . Dana close. Here is somebodys theory. He said im going to resign in the coming weeks because hes waiting to see what will happen in the alabama special. If roy moore wins and is going to be seated, then he could reverse his decision and not resign. Thats a theory. Jesse kind of agree with the theory. Leaving a crack in the door this big because he wants to see how this plays out. You know from the beginning of this, this guy did not want to lose. Greg my mom always said grab a seat, lose a seat. I dont even think franken believes franken. He said that he won that election by train or 12 votes when he beat norm coleman. He was talking about that. Imagine if all the stories have been before he ran had come out then. He would not be in the senate. The fact is instead of being sad, he should be thanking his lucky stars that he got eight years in the senate. He got eight years. He was not supposed to win. If those stories that come out, he wouldnt be standing there. He should be thanking this women for not saying anything. Mrs. The part where he goes after trump and moore. But not bill clinton or his enabler, hillary. 20 years ago, this party ignored bill clinton and nominated a woman who shamed the victims. Is this a new leaf . Are they changing their colors . I dont know. Thats the game they are playing. Theyre trying to create a contrast between the democrats and republicans. Thats why theyre doing it. Dana now that they have drawn this redline, will anybody be able to cross it . There are reports that are up to 40 members of Congress Looking at possible stories. I dont know what they are going to say. Possibly 40 people, could be some republicans and democrats. Jesse it will probably happen on friday. Greg mentioned something the senator said about moore and trump. Lets listen. I of all people realize te are some iranian the fact that i am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of Sexual Assault sits in the oval office and a man who is repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigning for the senate with the full support of his party. The president addressed the comments back during the campaign. We feel strongly that the people of this country also addressed that when they elected donald trump to be president. I have addressed it several times from here and dont have anything to add. Jesse looks like the white house is saying let the voters talk. Kimberly message from Sarah Sanders saying this was something vetted, brought out during the campaign, the people of the United States had the opportunity to think about it, evaluated, determine how it should impact on their choice for commander in chief. They made the decision. Its not like it came out after he became president of the United States. Quite frankly, al franken is lucky because, as greg said, this could happen on earlier. He got to be in government and work for the people and have this position for quite a long period of time before this information came out. I dont know why he is taking cheap shots of the president. I wouldve been more impressed if he said sorry for his conduct an action instead of trying to flip the script and point the finger at someone else instead of looking into his own conscience and behavior in making this a more teachable moment of ownership not only for himself but his family, other members of congress as well. Jesse respond to that, juan. Juan i thought he was extremely classy. Jesse he didnt say he believes the women. Ski juan he said its the worst day of his life. I dont think you are a human being unless you understand he was at the pinnacle of success in his political life. He worked very hard and he worked in the tradition of Paul Wellstone who was a terrific senator from minnesota, very much a Progressive Farm labor democrat type. And al franken had to get beyond the image he was just a comment can be dismissed as a political neophyte and he did so and hes a very popular senator both in minnesota, so much so people were talking about al franken running for president. Now you come to a day when all of this goes to tatters and his allies, people like kirsten gillibrand, patty murray, are leading the fight to toss them overboard. I dont see how you can say this wasnt a bitter and sad day. He calls it the worst day of his life. Greg worst things that happen on this day. Juan for him, i think its pretty sad, and i feel for him. Im so sorry this happened but i will say that i find myself in an odd situation where i agree with people like Laura Ingraham and sean hannity. They too think this is democrats turning on one of their own and throwing him overboard for political purposes that they will then be better positioned in terms of confronting charges against roy moore, especially if he is elected and there is an attempt to have them thrown out as well as to continue the challenge against President Trump and the charges he has standing to this day against him in terms of women who say he acted in a vulgar manner with them. Greg can i respond . I agree. I think this is a strategic move on their part. I keep hearing the phrase partisan divide over Sexual Harassment. By doing this, there basically saying we are not the republicans. I think both sides could be right. I feel bad for al franken but i also feel i know for a fact he is lying. Juan thats not the point. Whats he lying about, greg . Is he lying about greg he stuck his tongue down that womans throat. More than one. Juan generally we are talking about groping. I think its a whole lot different than what we are talking about with roy moore. Think of this moment, something is going on in the country. Greg i agree. His other Strong Defense was what he did is what you are saying. Nothing as serious as allegations directed at other people. I actually agree. We have an indiscriminate leveling of accusations. Now all accusations are equal. We are going to have to deal with that at some point rather than letting the court of Public Opinion and the media indiscriminate laid aside all of these things are equal. I think what he did before he became a senator with his flaw. He thought it was funny. When it all came out, it should have come before. Juan didnt happen while he was a senator, which is what we are talking about with many other people. Even the allegations prior to his tenure as a senator. But what strikes me is right now, i appreciate the fact i think theres so much policy at play. At one level, we need to deal with the issue of Sexual Harassment and intimidation of women and women being silenced and afraid to speak. On another level, we are talking politics. We are just talking about al franken, roy moore, john conyers. Its going to go on and on. Jesse did the fbi give special treatment to Hillary Clinton . The director is grilled today.

There is no finer institution than the fbi and no finer people than the men and women who work there. Dana the director of the fbi issuing a firm defense today following a comment from President Trump that his agency is in tatters. Christopher wray had a very different take. The fbi that i see is tens of thousands of agents and analysts and staff working their tails off to keep americans safe from the next terrorist attack, gang violence, child predators, spies from russia, china, north korea and iran. The fbi that i see is tens of thousands of brave men and women who are working as hard as they can to keep people they will never know safe from harm. Do we make mistakes . You bet we make mistakes, just like everyone who is human. Well hold our folks accountable when its appropriate. Dana wray addressed concerns about political bias against President Trump. Also whether the agent strzok softened language in the third trumpet email case. Peter strzok is a special agent of the fbi who changed the word grossly negligent to extremely careless and former director comeys statement closing the clinton investigation. Are you aware of that . I have heard some of the same information you have. The investigation into secretary clinton is currently the subject of an outside independent investigation by the Inspector General i think it would not be appropriate for me to speculate about what the Inspector General will or will not find. Dana kimberly, yesterday you talked about the fbi. I know you know a lot of people who work there. What did you think about how he handled the political pressure . The answer is a political appointee. Kimberly he did an outstanding job. People have to feel better about the fbi under his stewardship. Reasonable, excellent tone and tenor to his presentation. I found this to be candid and forthright. Problems that had and how they can improve upon it and i believe and take him at his word when he says that we will hold people accountable. He seems reasonable and measured, that he would do a full and thorough investigation. It seems to me this was a good example of another excellent choice. Dana he didnt close the door on the possibility of revisiting the Hillary Clinton email scandal. I thought of you. Jesse kimberly really enjoyed his presentation. I think they are about to hit pay dirt when it comes the real russian scandal. Congressman jordan shielded bac back. We know this antitrump guy ran the clinton email investigation and the russiatrump investigation. He was soft on hillary and toss on the drum people. Thats been established. But the belief is now with this guy strzok took the big russian dossier and used it to apply for a fisa warrant that was used to spy on the trump campaign. Think about that. He is stonewalling. Wont answer questions about if he used it or not. Russian dirt paid for by hillary. Its a huge story. We also know there was another Department Agent demoted because he had contacts. Contacts with the founder of the firm hillary paid to deliver the fake russian dossier. The fbi wont answer questions. The doj is stonewalling congressional investigators. They are trying to find out who applied for the fisa warrant. What information . Was the dossier used as justification to get the warrant . They are not getting answers. What is the department of justice and fbi hiding . It is trumps Justice Department. Why are they not answering questions from House Republicans . Very conspiratorial and i think we are beginning to crack the case. Dana greg, Justice Department officials reading through over 10,000 text between strzok and the woman. Greg thats amazing. I have to say im getting tired of these hearings. They are on all the time. 10,000 texts. Thats an amazing fact. Whats amazing is these two people arent 14yearolds. They are adults. The fact that there are 10,000 texts, people dont know when to stop texting. When you are in a situation where you are texting and you are polite to me think i want to end this but if you stop, then you feel bad because you dont really say goodbye. You just stop. So you do one more than he think maybe that one more, than the other person does it. May be a question. Maybe its hypothetical. Then you go, if i ignore this. I thought the emojis were the reason for ending texting relationships. Clearly i am wrong. Dana can you imagine if you are a Justice Department staffer and you have to read these. Strategy to muddy the waters and question the professionalism of the fbi seems to be working. Cbs poll today shows republicans think this is a political witch hunt and think its absolutely, though there is proof of collusion somewhere and they are going to get there. Basically the parties juan thats where we sit. Thats not a change. Republicans dont see anything. I might add generally, the democrat side of the equation. What interests me on this is you see the president s strategy is to attack and go after robert mueller. To the point of going after the fbi now the Justice Department and all of this idea that he might fire robert mueller. You have people like karl rove writing this morning and others saying, dont fire the special counsel. If you do, theres going to be consequences. They are trying to put in place laws in congress that would require the president to go through a court and justify a request to fire the special counsel. Thats where this story is heading. I find it, there is an attempt here not only to distract and sort of derailed the mueller investigation. Dana isnt that what the Clinton Administration did during impeachment in the lewinsky scandal, turn it into the right wing conspiracy and turn it into basically question the political motives rather than thinking the investigation was on the outbound up. Juan and you got an impeachment of a president. I dont think it worked. Dana he was reelected. Juan i think we are more political times than we were even then. That was highly politicized, if you recall, with democrats favor and clinton and republicans dana i do recall. All right, we are going to move own. U. S.
