and scrubbed pretty hard by the foreign intelligence surveillance court. somehow those procedures didn't work as i had thought they were. so i think jim had the same feeling. and i'm sure he is thinking about that as the director about the time and it works me i -- it worries me. i suspect this wasn't the one time case. and that there are probably comparable systemic issues with other such requests and i'm also confident the director wray stepped up to make fixes. >> let's talk about the president's personal attorney. rudy giuliani. he met with this client in the white house on friday to discuss the findings from his fact finding mission to ukraine to attempt to dig up dirt on the bidens. you say giuliani is acting on
gobbling up the message, portraying america as weak and ukraine in disarray, but president trump as the winner. and so, don, you see that pattern that we often see from russian state-controlled migedi where they rip into the u.s., they rip into american institutions like congress or the state department as well, never seem to criticize president trump though. on the other hand, difficult to overstate the amount of concern that we heard from former ukrainian officials and also from those anti-corruption groups who are saying that some of the things that rudy giuliani has been doing are having a chilling effect on ukraine's efforts to try and fight corruption and promote transparent, don. >> fred, thank you so much. let's bring in elie honig, now. it's fascinating to watch that. russia's really winning on this one, right? >> yeah. >> yeah. giuliani is telling "the new yorker" about the former u.s. ambassador marie yovanovich. this is a quote. i believe that i needed yovanovich out of the way. she was going to make the investigations difficult for
clamor by european and american leaders alike at the time for shokin to be fired due to his alleged corruption. ukraine's main anti-corruption action group, antac, which has also been in giuliani's crosshairs, tells cnn there was broad consensus that shokin was ineffective and provided us with documents apparently showing that he actually hindered large parts of the investigation into burisma. >> under his leadership, prosecution is not reforming, and actually he is blocking the attempts to do the reforms and to perform proper investigations. >> reporter: antac says the same goes for ukraine's next prosecutor general, yuriy lutsenko, another one of rudolph giuliani's proclaimed witnesses. neither shokin nor lutsenko replied to cnn's efforts to contact him. >> bad reputation, who are helping defeat this disinformation. >> reporter: and kremlin controlled media is clearly
they're the ones looking at the bills, and i think this is really big. now, the poll that was out just a couple days ago showed independent support going up. so i believe that as more -- i've always said as more and more information comes out, then i think it will be change things. however, don, i hate to go back to the triangle again. but if you're in a silo, no matter what they say, they don't believe it. they go, well, that's just fake news. that's just false. >> yeah. >> and that is dangerous for our country. that's why we're so divided. if people could just look at the other side, respect the other side, listen to the other side, and that's what it used to be in congress. you bring up the leaders in congress. one of the problems we have with our leaders in congress is they're not telling the people that work with them to grow up, be mature, knock it off, stop. this is not what it means to be a member of congress. >> yeah. well, you're right because a lot of folks there, you can see it in the hearings, they want their moments. they want the moments that are going to, you know, viral
work as i had thought they were. so i think jim had the same feeling. and i'm sure he is thinking ability that as the director about the time and it works me i suspect this wasn't the one time case. and that there are probably comparable systemic issues with other such requests and i'm also confident the director wray stepped up to make fixes. >> let's talk about the president's personal attorney. rudy giuliani. he met with this client in the white house on friday to discuss the findings from his fact finding mission to ukraine to attempt to dig up dirt on the bidens. you say giuliani is acting on his own is creating a counter intelligence vulnerability.
who really takes the cake when it comes to being a blatant partisan. >> i am trying to give a pretty clear signal i have made up my mind. i'm not trying to pretend to be a fair juror here. >> not even trying to pretend to be a fair juror. with an impeachment trial looming in the senate in a matter of weeks. and make no mistake, senators will the jurors in that trial. each and every one of them swearing to, quote, do impartial justice according to the constitution and laws. and yet lindsey graham blatantly says he is not even trying to pretend to be a fair juror. at least he's honest about that. though things sure have changed since bill clinton's impeachment trial 20 years ago. >> if a republican president had done these things, would a republican delegation gone to tell him to get out of town? i hope so. >> well, it sure doesn't any republicans are going to tell this president to get out of
says he is going right at the questions about helsinki and the summit with putin. what are you doing? >> well look, i think the summit as i said already before i don't think it went very well for the administration and the perception it left after that first meeting. then there is rhetoric and words and then there are actions and policies. i think so far you could say while i may not necessarily agree with all the words that the president used in helsinki, his policies on russia, we want to be fair, have been stronger than the previous administration and any administration since the end of the cold war dealing with putin's hostilities. i'm more interested in policies. mike pompeo wasn't the one standing in helsinki and at the end of the day he is in charge of implementing the administration's policies through the state department and that's what i'll focus on are policies. what are we going to deter the next attack in 2018 if putin decides to interfere with our elections? what are we doing about nato, crimea, isis and the talks with north korea and the like? those are the things i hope we'll focus on.
way that would suggest to me that there is no doubt that there is russian government operations involved in this and it is a covert operation of the russian government. >> only a commercial break could force me to interpret my legal team tonight. thank you all for joining us on this important night of coverage. really appreciate it. >> thanks. the russians were trying to stop hillary clinton. first by trying to help bernie sanders in the primaries then helping donald trump in the election. bernie sanders and donald trump both issued statements about the indictments of the 13 russians who were trying to help them, and only one of those statements was presidential, and it wasn't the one from the president. that's next.

i played superman, when i first, my first deal, i wasn't the one making the most money on the show. melissa: even though you were superman and clark kent. >> but i wasn't -- melissa: you were two people. >> i want making most. our salaries were the same. that is the deal. i had never seen it personally. talking about actresses and actresses rhonda rousey and ufc, everyone says, women don't get paid this, she will stand up and say i draw in the most people, most box office, most television eyes. she therefore gets paid. that is the same thing i think in film industry. now we don't negotiate our salaries as actors and actresses. we have representatives that do that. they're all very, very cozy. they know what their worth is. they know what you work for, so on, there is whole dynamic goes on with that. and i just don't know, i have never seen it personally that is the case. i guarranty it is not 40 cents of every dollar to actor. >> before your worth you have to know what your value is, what
