If you read his book, he is a man who believes he is ethical, who thinks he is always doing the right thing. He thinks hes doing the right thing for his country. And he thought at the time when, he thought at the time when head press conference about hillary, you know, there was not the material to indict her. But he had to not be political and criticize her. And it blew up in his face. And he will always be a part of history in that 2016 election and there will always be a debate. Not a debate with the hillary ranks about how many he cost her the election. They believe he was a major factor. There is much to discuss on this topic much relating to it. I want to jump to a different subject, elizabeth. We have you here and your paper is reporting some interesting news out of the white house. That the president s personal assistant has abruptly stepped down. Tell us what you know here. I wont tell you more than we have in the story. That there were some issues ad bed minutester. Shes been there since day one. Shes been a very loyal lieutenant. But she is now out at the white house. Thats all i can tell you. The story that we see at an offtherecord dinner. Thats what we reported. All right. The thank you. Coming up, the next target in the republicans pushback on the russia investigation. And later, the numbers likely keeping Mitch Mcconnell up at night. The 11th hour just Getting Started on a thursday night. I want to know when is barack obama going to be interviewed by john durham and the fbi. Do you believe that will happen . I believe it will. In fact, there is no way you can finish this investigation without interviewing the former president of the United States. That is former u. S. Attorney and fox news mainstay joe just a short while ago on fox news. Some supporters of President Trump are now turning their attention to what president obama knew about the early stages of the russia investigation. During an interview last night, before the release of the ig report, senator Lindsey Graham, the cheryl of the Judiciary Committee said it is a plan he wants answered each week. Stuck between white house wanting to know any detail. Does that mean barack obama, the president at the time, should be asked what he knew and when he knew it about all this . I cant imagine an investigation of the republican nominee for president Counter Intelligence investigation of his campaign was not approved at the highest level. The question for me is, who told obama, and when you find out who that person is, you begin to put the puzzle together. Do you think he needs to be asked those questions under oath . Absolutely. Im going to say, mccabe, comey, all of them. Did you ever inform president obama about the Counter Intelligence investigation . What did you tell him and when did you tell him . Yes. I would like to know what president obama thought about the investigation. Why did not somebody tell trump . The whole point of a Counter Intelligence investigation is to protect people. Still with us, frank, i want to get your reaction to what we just played from Lindsey Graham. He is saying this Counter Intelligence probe launched in the summer of 2016 potential ties between trump and folks in the campaign. He said they had to have president obamas knowledge and apparently signoff. Whats your reaction to that . He also said that the whole point of a Counter Intelligence investigation is to protect people. Its to protect the United States is what the point of the Counter Intelligence investigation is not to protect the president. Would a Counter Intelligence investigation involving russian meddling and interference with a president ial campaign get briefed to the white house . You bet. You bet. And guess what. All of it played out in the indictments of a couple of dozen russian operatives, including russian Intelligence Officers who did mess with our election process. So im all for interviewing barack obama. And my guess is, hell say i was briefed that the russians were trying to enter gear this election. Now, remember that trumps name got add later to the investigation by andy mccabe. Once additional conduct was known by the public and by that time, barack obama may have been out of the picture. By all means, go ahead and enter view the president. The Counter Intelligence investigation protects the people. Not the president. Jeremy bash, Lindsey Graham has the ability. He has the ability to pursue this. What would that look like . These questions hes raising. These names hes raising. If he is going to have an investigation like this, what would it look like . They want president obama to speak under oath but they were fine when President Trump did not speak under oath to bob mueller. I dont understand that. Putting that aside, the issue that the senator is raising, whether or not the orange investigation was predicated, whether or not there was a factual basis to believe that number one, russia was seeking to interfere in the election and number two, whether or not there were any individuals associated with a president ial campaign who somehow knew about it or benefiting from it or somehow welcomed it. And i think we now know from the bob Mueller Investigation that in fact, we do know that russia did interfere. That it was of benefit to the trump campaign. And that it was welcomed. In some important respects, it has been rewarded. So i think the investigation as to whether or not this was all well predicated should proceed. I think youll find in fact it was well predicated. Im curious. Youre familiar with how these investigations work. Lindsey graham is saying he wants to get the former president barack obama under oath. He is mentioning others as well. Do you think realistically that will happen in i dont know of any precedent of a former president speaking to congress in that fashion. But again, im not sure where this investigation leads. I think it will lead us right back to the original intelligence assessment of january 17 which may clear exactly what russia did. This is one of those moments where i think you think back to the mueller report. The reactions to it. Two almost completely different narratives. One belonging to the democratic controlled house. The other belonging to the republican controlled senate. You see the republicans in the senate pursuing the investigation that Lindsey Graham is outlining while the democrats in the house have what jerry nadler, the chairman, said already is an impeachment inquiry. Could not be in important opposite places. Im not sure where the republicans want to go with this. Polls have consistently shown that the voters are not very interested in the russia investigation when mueller was in the middle of it. It has died down as an issue. Perhaps they want to revive it. They think it might be a Winning Campaign issue for them but i dont see where it goes. I agree that you investigate the origins of the russia investigation and you will find that there was a lot of information out there. Even in the mueller report, you see how many contacts there were between Trump Associates and russians during the campaign the Mueller Probe was never able to prove that there was collusion. That they worked together in the conspiracy to swing the election to donald trump. But there were an awful lot of contacts. So im not sure what the republicans would find here other than there was a lot of reason to open an investigation. And again, i dont see, i guess they think this works for them politically. Right now biggest issues on the campaign are the economy, you know, perhaps the coming recession, jobs, and again, i think this is, im not sure what the goal here is. Just to muddy the waters more. All right. Thank you for joining us. And coming up, florida residents are emptying store shelves ahead of Hurricane Dorian.
