Was also at a very busy time during the campaign. there s a whole issue of hillary clinton s email investigation, and jim comey saying that it was open again, and there s a lot of noise. that s right, well i got some attention didn t get a ton, and then donald trump won. we didn t learn, what we had a suspicion of the time, but we knew stormy downhill s was pertinent, she had put in the same lawyer that karen mcdougal had. that she was talking about going public, but she never did. so we are effective she must have also been paid jennifer 18 when it was part of the hush money agreement. as far as whether voters care about it, but he s voter issues that are play. stormy daniels was a big deal. i mean trying to overturn the 2020 all those things went to. hearing anything about the
Party, is so far yet to be seen. and i ll be very surprised if any substance to systematic bias, political bias can be found. the only really significant political effect that the fbi has had in the last few years is when james comey reopened the email investigation a few days before the election. so if one party or the other could be enflamed or annoyed by fbi errors it would be the democratic party. a good point there about james comey. he violated doj guidelines to do so. and certainly, so much of this anti-fbi rhetoric can be directly linked to the attacks on the deep state by former president donald trump, attacks without evidence. still ahead here on morning joe, a live report from st. croix, where president biden is taking time off returning to
Of documentation, and they weren t willing to hand it over. whether he believed he had to be classified at me at a right to it, that s another story, but they weren t fully open with what they had. do you believe he s lying, garrett? i. do and to tires, 0. 1 thing that we also saw happening tonight is that trump is refusing to comply with the questions from the special master in the email investigation. or the document investigation. and what s interesting about that is that one of the things that he is refusing to answer is whether he actually declassified the documents and thus they would have been his to hold on to. of course, that s not actually what the doj subpoena called for in the first place. they called for documents with
but he and his folks were saying they re complying with everything. that s a lie. it s a lie. we know from the documents of his lawyers, he said he turned over everything. but he didn t. he held on to other documents. it sounds like they re at least trying to obstruct justice. they knew that they were asking for some sort of documentation, and they weren t willing to hand it over. whether he believed he had declassified and whether you have the right to it is another story. but they weren t fully open with what they had. do you believe it was a lie carrot? i do, and i think to that 0.1 of the things that we saw today is that trump is refusing to comply with the questions from the special master in the email investigation. or in the document investigation. what is interesting about that as that one of the things that he is refusing to answer is whether he actually declassified documents. and thus, they would have been his to hold on to. of course, that is not actually what the doj subpoena called
Subpoenas or the target of those raids would make it public and point towards an investigation that could be leading towards potentially indictments that have political implications here. so do they want to temporarily pause until after the midterm to ramp it back up again to avoid being accused of doing things on the eve of an election that might manipulate things, even if inadvertently, not unlike how james comey has been blamed, fairly or not, for contributing to hillary clinton s loss by reopening the email investigation and then telling congress about it, which was effectively announcing it just a couple of weeks before the 2016 election. charlie, the argument that the fbi s search of mar-a-lago was justified just got a major republican backer, former attorney general bill barr
President donald trump, his home has just been rated by the fbi. everything happens all at once. laura: victor, everything happens all at once, a flurry of legislative achievements and then this just happens. all a coincidence. yeah, well all you have to do is look at the prior four fbi directors, laura, and they are the narrative. i mean, christopher wray evaded every question to the senate and then he took off on a private fbi luxury jet to his favorite vacation spot in the dash and said he had to go home. he replaced andrew mccabe, who lied for times to a federal investigator and concocted or helped concoct that crazy idea of wearing a wire to entrap the president of the united states. ahead of hillary clinton s email investigation while his wife was running for office and the recipient of a pac related to clinton money, who replaced james comey, who lied or misled or said he couldn t remember 245
Republican president donald trump, his home has just been raided by the fbi. everything happens all at once . everything happens all at once. a flurry of legislative achievement and then this just happens. all the coincidence. yeah, well, all you have to do is look at the prior four fbi directors lorem out there. the narrative i mean, christopher wray evaded every question to the senate and then he took off on a private fbi luxury jet to his favorite vacation spot in the area. arianda fox, and said he had to go home. he replaced andrew mccabe, who lied four times to a federal investigator and concocted or helped concoct that crazy idea of wearing a wire to entrap the president of the united states who was the head of hillary clinton s email investigation while his wife was running for office and the recipient of a pac related to clinton money who replaced james comey,
Investigating the trump campaign. there were associates of the president already under investigation by the time of this september meeting, and if you re the clinton campaign, and you have your candidates under the cloud of the email investigation which is true, is it fair that only one side was under that cloud? why isn t it that the other side was not there? that is what is playing out in the courtroom? if you think of it through the way you said that, there s an investigation underway, let s say you work for the clinton campaign, but you have what you believe to be legitimate information that you should give to the fbi, the important context is you have to say, you ll find it to be true, but i m in hillary clinton. you re supposed to disclose that. that s the heart of it thcht did he not disclose that? i want to read james baker is a star witness here. he says there, i m 100% confident that he said that. michael is friend of mine and colleague, and i believed him and trusted the statements were
And start making unsubstantiated allegations. if the republican party loses its grip on power it will be because they caved on this nomination. you hear from jesse, just get it done. republicans must win, but what about the process? you want to talk about the process? let s bring in a prosecutor to cross-examine the complainant. look, here s the problem. for the last few years, americans have been frustrated with the clinton foundation, with the attorney general, with the email investigation, with de classification, and now they want republicans for once and for all to put on their big boy pants and get it done. and i agree with rush. if they don t step up, the republicans are going to totally lose their support. by the way, the numbers are the highest they have been in seven years, g.o.p. support. i mean, everyone is anticipating and anxiously awaiting a success and it s got to happen. mitch mcconnell can take this
Molly: president trump again blessing the fbi handling of the email investigation. appearing to reference a story from an investigation providing that investigators examined just over 3600 94,000 clinton s emails from classified information for the present treating úbig story out of the fbi ignored tens of thousands of crooked hillary emails. many of which are really there. also gave false election info. i think we also get to the bottom of all this corruption. at some point i may have to get involved! let s bring it in a politics editor for the washington examiner.jim, thank you for being here. thanks for having me. molly: i want to gain insight into what the president might mean by that? what do you think he means? it is an open question whether it means anything given that he is decided to tweet
