Hide . And devastating developments out of alabama. Death tolls rising, massive tornados tore through homes. I hope youre seeing the pictures and thinking about the needs there. The chairman who launched the trump world investigation says impeachment is a long way off but are they laying the groundwork right now . Our goal is to told the Administration Accountable for the obstruction of justice, the abuse of power and the corruption. We have to find out whats been going on and lay out a case. Look, we have the head of the Democratic Caucus on earlier. I dont see how they launch a probe like this and saw its got nothing to do with impeachment. Yes yes, they have constitutional oversight but seems to be an inflation. But well soo. They want records involving the president s communication with vladimir putin. Are they going to get to talk to the interpreter . Arent any notes. Welcome back to prime time sir. So deal with my spectism is. Where does this go except making a case for impeachment . Youll get information but if its not going to lead to prosecution, impeachment is the e only path for accountability, isnt it . It is if they continue to say they cant indict a sitting president. The new York Attorney general can indict a sitting president. He may have problems he hasnt looked at as far as the justice department, prosecution or his ability to pardon himself or whatever. He wont get that in new york state. The cong wress will look seriouy at all the facts and see if they come to a level like in watergate to where the republicans ended up going to nixon and saying its over. You need to resign. The republicans control the votes in the senate. And to get this president to be removed by impeachment, republicans at least 18 of them would have to vote for impeachment and right now they are aclites to President Trump. You have a few people like rand paul showing courage integrity and Susan Collins and ms. Murkowski and there might be one other. Were going to have to produce facts that force their constituents to do what is the right thing to do for america the rule of law. With nixon, you had a felony. You had his connection to the burglary, the cover up with the tapes. So when they went to him and say which way do you want to go down . He saw the writing on the wall. Youre no water near that. So how do you bal thance the interest of oversight without over playing your hand . Doing what woor arer doing. Requesting documents and we have outstanding consultants who have background and knowledge of some of the information weve already. And then have hearings to have the public know what is there. We dont know what well get from the mueller report. He expects nor indictments. I think mr. Graph might be right about what hes thinking is going to come. We have to wait and see whether it come said from mueller and if mr. Bar let us see part if not all of the report. If he cant indict the president and maybe done things that there maladministration, which is what the Founding Fathers meant as impeachable ofen impeach offences, they have to see that. Its a catch 22. And thats not going to stand. Were going to have to fight in court if he doesnt release him. He might release him. Well see what the level of disclosure is. But this is going to take a long time. How do you sustain the momentum as weeks turn to months to many months . The people are going to have expeck taugzs. One of the problems with oversight is the farther you go, the more youve got to be able to deliver. Well, the people want to see information and year going to have information. Theres so much the Trump Administration has done, so much krupgsz. And thats one of the things we want to do besides Affordable Health care, and education and jobs and infrastructure is to clean up the corruption out there and the Trump Administration has complete you started with it airplanes and then the interior secretary thinks he comes in on a horse. Isnt an election the way to earesolve this . People will want to know what hes done and hidden from the public, his taxes, understating his assets and the different was hes used the system to make his businesses sucksisful. Just like this past week advertising his golf course and sawing thats good for our relationships with the united kingdom. Golf course doesnt imp prove relations unless he only cares about the profits he makes from it. Now let me ask you why you want taget the interpreter and what youre looking for between the president and putin. Why do you want it . Well, theres a reason why he didnt want the public to know what he said, a reason he destroyed the notes. And everybody suspects theres a relationship unholy between trump and putin. And they talked about sanctions being lifted, if they talked about they could have talked about old times and said we talked about this earlier and you said you were going to have the sanctions lifted. They might have gone into history and they might have gone into sanction, article 5, maybe saying we wouldnt support if you went further in ukrain. We dont know what they said. But whatever he tds, he didnt want people to know it. And then he said he believed putin. Eve Everybody Knows he knows it, but hes the only person that doesnt admit it. Because with the president its about personal advantage and its bad for him because it somehow delegitimized his win. But lets put his psychology to the side. The rule for oversight will be the only know what you can show. Questions are serious but so will the proof have to be. Thank you very much. This conversation is open ended. Whenever you believe theres something people need know about, were a call away. Thank you, crus rhris, and it going to bring you a sick pack. Beer from louisiana from a guy from pennsylvania. Tonight is a deadline for those answers to why the president did what he did with security clearances for his son in law and maybe his daughter. Dud he over rule u. S. Intel .

We see what the democrats are doing. Theyre flexing their oversight muscles. 80 people got letters requesting documents from the Judiciary Committee. His businesses, and the list goes on. Where does it lead . Lets bring in former house intel chair, mike rogers. Always appreciate it. Certainly a mentor and will be tonight. Am i off by saying we own olee know what you show. Theyre booting me back but is it a fair point . I think ruts arvery fair point. It looks like theyre throwing up on the table. Hoorbz rr the problem with the waw theyre approaching this thing. 80 different folks subpoenaed, it feeds into the trump narrative that theyre after anything they can find and the comments have been we havent find anything we cant wait for a speedy trial and a really good hanging and all of that feeds into this weird narrative of are are they really after him . And that confusion only benefits the president. They have some areas of which oversight is exactly appropriate. Lets focus on it verses the scatter shot hoping something sticks. I think its a mistake of strategy andgying to allow the president to say i got all the lawyers and its so hard and confusing. Ill get back to you in a couple of years. Do you see abuse of power as a legit avenue or Something Else as where legitimate oversight meets . Theyre going to have to do a better job for me. As the United States government, republicans, democrats, whatever marty you are is going to after something for any individual for any reason. Either youre running for auflsz or under fbi investigation. They have the responsibility to do it right. It cant be a political motive involved, which is hard to do in a congressional investigation. But youre going to ruin peoples reputation. All of the 80 people that got subpoenas, maybe all of them did nothing wrong. I think they have to be more judicious. Saying youve profited on x and y. Making that charge from an official from the u. S. Government carries weight and standing. Shut up, do your investigation and show us what you found and if you didnt, then dont drag these people through 24 mud. That part i dont like a lot and i think theres plenty of targets for them. But the way thier lar doing it, think about if it was you or someone you knows family. It cant be politics as usual and weve grown to accept all of this. Im not condemning any party. And thats whats were withying me about where politics has gone unamerica. We cant uses the force of gumptm bears or degrade or give folk as black eye. Thats what were seeing on so men ea levels. The democrats are largely going to be looking into the past. But weve got stuff going on right now. I want to remind people what the president s daughter said about an important issue. If the reporting is right, what shes about to tell you is really problematic. There were anonymous leaks about there being issues. But the president had no involvement pertaining to my clearance or my husbands clearance. What were the problems early on . There werent any other than a back log of close to a million clearances across government. Now ivanka might not know what the president is doing if he did what the eare porting suggests, which is he took the decision away from the intel guys and said im going to do this. The narrative was she was pesterring him to do this. We know the last thing was false, that the only problem was a back log. No. The problem was kushner had to keep amending his statement and that triggered a lot of different red flags than youdby more familiar with than i as someone who can did as much intelligence work as you did. If the president took the decision and his daughter is putting out this statement i think its very plausible that she walked unnot understanding this office. They went from dead stop, not volved in politics to sitting in the white house with complicated on a good day for people who study it. So im willing to give that purse an pass. What kblb concerned about is if you short circuited the process for these clearances, thats a problem. Because we used to be on folks all across the government saying you have to follow the rules. And you are getting a clearance from the United States gumpt protect u. S. Government secrets. And thats what i dont like about that if in fact thats true. Listen, if theyre going to do the oversight and i believe that she says it, i believe it, then this is an easily provable event. I wouldnt try to drag my feet on this if i were them. And that end oof the day, the president can grant a security clearance if he wants. 100 . Rufrtsz just why lie about it . Why lie about it . Thats the other issue. Thats always the issue. Its about how much it matters in a given situation. Thank you so much. Hey, thanks. The president said he wouldnt get involved in Something Else also. He said he wouldnt get involved in one of the biggest media mergers in history and he did why you think he did it. Did he cross a line . Lets take it up in cuomos court next.

President trump has a favorite news network and spoiler alert, it aint us. The president personally asked one of his top aids to have the doj stop buying time from time warner, which is what we used to call our parent company. Joining me two heavyweights. Grirts to have you both. Laura coates make the case that what you learned today in the new yorker that president did this for bad reasons. You have the idea starting with why would a vertical motherinlawer, where you have a content distributor actbively buying a content producer. Normally you get that if you have two competitors in a horizontal merger. And one person has set prices and leverage and hurt consumers. From the get go if was always an odd thing to pursue. Ed a that to the contemporaneously the objections of the time warner, you have 21st century fox and disney merging by rubert murdock who continues to be a confident and close ally of the president. One would think similar mergers, acquisitions would have the same support. But not so when it comes to the president s personal prenchs. This has been reiterated by the appellate court, lower court. It was motivated politically, which is not how it should ever be done. Well, the president did very openly talk about this merger in the campaign. So i cant say his opposition to it was new post election. Though i do agree that the antitrust case filed with a vertical integrated merger was novel. And the reason it had significance beyond just the one case is a potential for it to effect particularly pet Companies Like google and facebook depending on how they would proceed Going Forward in the future. Because they present some pekullaters. But they reyesjected the department of justices position and pointed out that there was suspicious to the motivation. The reporting with garby koen saying that president was saying i want this stopped. I want this stopped. Reporting also suggestists koen told then chief of staff were not going to do it. Do you think the president should be saying this type of thing . Well, you talking about koen or the president s . Should the president should he be saying stop this merger . I dont think the issue is whether the president takes a position on the merger. I think its the why that is of more relevance and that may be harder to pick apart. But again i think he made clear in the campaign that he was going to take this position. Do i think that was good idea . Well, no. I look at antitrust as a very handsoff approach and i think he was being aggressive and inappropriately. Its all about the why. Every time he said it, when you look at it contextualy, he was tikd off at cnn. He didnt just mention in the campaign. He also issued a press release from the campaign saying President Trump would never allow this particular merger to go forward. And the answer is quite simple. Should the president ever weigh in on an antitrust when hes not motivated by consumers but instead by a vengeance and ax to grind . Absolultly not. If hes supposed to be a conservative or republican, which by the way are normally those who would look at this as a lay za fair and say threat markets and the economy do as it sees fit. Allow it take place. When you insert your snfl to this, not in the interest of the American Consumer or international consumer, but because you dont like the conitant that is being provided through the distributors and content producers. That is continuing the dilemma of the president of the United States looking at the enemy of the peep 8, the press and those who distribute the actual news itself. Should your party stand up and say mr. President , dont abuse these powers in this way. Just because you can, doesnt mean you should. Its too obvious, too flagrant. Stop. I think its always been true anytime a president gets outside of the boundaries of their power, it shouldnt really matter but of course it matters what party youre un. And youre seeing some of the pushback on the immigration emergency vote. My own words for it. Though thats going to prevail because the president will be able to veto it. So ethere isnt universal agreement with the president on every issue. But will say this. On different issues, you see different republicans providing the pushback and thats appropriate. They believe Different Things and at different times they either agree or they dont. But i think its a clear sign there are still plenty of republicans willing to express their own position regardless of what the president has to say. I see different groups be with the president and others quiet. And the quiet is my concern. Compelling. Thank you very much to you both. Going to be a long froed tornado survivors. Ive been in the east, covered the east. There is nothing like them when it comes to how they can change someones life. Survivor who joins us with her incredible story on her how her fammy escaped with their lives and now what . Next. Tonight people all across lee county alabama are coping with terrible loss. 23 people have lost their lives because of sundays it deadly twist. Three kids. We still dont know. The county is holding out hope for survivors amid the debris. But im telling you theres so much ground to cover, its so difficult, its going to take time. Among thoz who narrowly escaped is 72yearold earnesteen. She was found in the middle of a debris field that was once her home. Here she is facetiming with her grandson. Thank you, lord. You hear me, boy . You hear me . Tell god thank you. Thanking god that she at least is alive. Imagine what you would do if you were in her shoes. Earn esteen reeses daughter.

Please send our regards. So you live next door to mom . Yes. Twisters coming. You understand this reality. Youre in a mobile home. What were you expecting and what did you experience . I wasnt in the mobile home at the time. Due to my mother pfrs illness i was at her home. My husband was at our mobile home. We got the alert. He was already inroute walking to my moms brick house. And he got inside and i told my son and my husband to get in the bathroom. I went to go help my mom whose limited mobility to transition her to her rolling walker chair. The roll about. And i used that to get her to the bathroom at that moment. And i went back to her room to get the oxygen tank. It said 75 mileperhour winds. We can make it. Weve been through strong winds, hurricanes. And i knew a minute later the power went out. I shut off her oxygen machine and grabbed the oxygen portable and went to the bathroom. As soon as i closed the bathroom door and connected the oxygen i could hear the roaring and at that moment is when you heard the house being torn apart. Seconds after that everything started pressing in on us because we were in the bathroom. We were together. We all got pushed down flat. We were like dominos on top of each other. My son was on top of me and said mom i dont want to die, i dont want to die. I said son, pray your way through. And i was looking at my husband and i was like mom, are you okay . She said im just praying. Call on jesus. Just pray your way through and i kept saying the same thing. Son, hold on. And at this point the wind is still moving. You can see it debris going all around us. Its just unreal. Its not anything i would have imagined for me, my family in a million years. Not for our area, not for our community. Itsdeavor stating. And that was the first tornado. That was the first one. And thats one of the things is are the structures ready . Is the Infrastructure Ready . Theres nothing that moves with the swisness and lethality of a tornado. Ive seen what it can do. You have your lives, each other. Thank god youre lucky for that. I know this community is skram 3w8ing. Is there water right now . I know youre staying with family. Tell me. We havent been able to assess our damage.

Im just hopeful we can get past this because we were all a tight knit community. Our area is a real loving community. And im just counting on that faith that will keep us strong and well make it through. Im so sorry for your loss. I im sorry to have to meet you this way. But part of the power of prayer is that people will feel the need. And theyll feel the connection because they are before the grace. So many in this country could be in your situation and hopefully there will be help to get you back on your feet as soon as possible. You have our number to stay in touch. Please let me be able to update and show people you and your loved ones are in a better place and send our regards to ernesteen and againium rar sorry for the loss. I will. Yes. Thank you very much.

Theyre said to pass a resolution after oma flrks sinuated that pro israel are pushing aleenlance to a foreign country. Shes got to be removed from Committee Assignments just like steve king. Lets debate it. Peter and aim ea are here. Thanks to both of you. Peter, you asked for the right to take care of the bigoted comments from steve king. They removed him from committee. Should the democrats do the same . No, i dont think theres any equivalence at all. I think she made mistake by talking about groups as pushing allegiance to a foreign country. I know friends of mine in apac who have their own reason for pursuing the policies they pursue. Shes fundamentally a believer in human rights and equality. If you look at the larger statement, her fundamental point was just as we care about the right and suffering of jews, we should care about the rights of suffering of palestinians. And thats the kind of debate shes trying to create. Why is it considered okay in washington to support israeli policy it deny them basic human rights. Steve king is becausically a guy whose entire career has suggested that not as good as white christians. I invited the congresswoman on and i invited him too. But since then he hasnt accepted where is the mistake . Her mistake she has every right to criticize apac. Theyre a organization that essentially sunorts Israeli Government policy no matter what they are and i think those policies are fundamentally to human rights for palestinians. The mistake she made was rather than simply criticizing the policies to speculate about the motivation for the policy. Amy, whats your take . I agree with you. She has said these things time and time again. And i think nancy pelosi has a problem on her hands. The democratic leadership and i do want her stripped of her committee assignment. She has a seat on the Foreign Affairs committee. But thats going to be left up to the democratic leadership. The problem i see is i mean i believe this is who she is. She hates israel. And no matter how many times shes forced to apologize, you remove her from the committee, youve said to her on the floor of the house, youre not going to change whats in her heart and therein lies the problem. And i think thats going to have to be dealt with when the election comes up in 2020. Is this something the people want representing them uncongress . Do they want somebody who hates israel in congress . Same fix that you were in with steve king. I think the same analysis applies to him equally so. But it took your party a long time to get around to it. So now i want to segway into acts of political bravery. This National Emergency vote matters. It does. You guys would crush President Trump if he were a democrat. Youd say it was a flagrant violation of separation of powers. The law wasnt minute to be used this way and he does not have the power of the purse and he cannot create that right. Youre not doing that here. You dont have anywhere near what youd need to stop. Why . This is what ill say to that is president obama did use these Emergency Powers a number of times and not one of them stood up and tried to stop it. And not only that the emergency power has to be reviewed every six months and not once has any of these four republicans ever stood up and said anything about the review of them nor have they at any time talked about if the law is a bad law that grants a president the authority to do this, then deal with the law itself its that law wasnt intended for this and the president knows it. Thats why he said this is not an emergency. Well with, chris, i believe you can call it an act of bravery or whatever you want to call it but at the end of the day the president was elected to secure the border. Theres a National Crisis going on. Just the mount of heroin and fentanyl that there coming across the border, not to mention the Human Trafficking and other things that are going on across the border. So oejust the drugs alone are a problem and i think ruts arNational Crisis. Thats why this president was elected. If you look at congresss approval numbers, theyre in the tank. Weve relied on congress too long to do something about it. So this president was elected and hes following through on that promise. I could take literally word for word. Weve relied on congress to solve the problem to apply to any of the issues democrats really kaur about, some i would argue much more genuinely deserve the term emergency. Klumt change for instance or gun control, right . When you start saying because congress hasnt dealt with it in the way the president wants to were going to allow the president to start spending money even when congress hasnt appropriated it. I remember a time when republicans liked to call themselves constitutionalests in washington. Thank goodness theres a few of them that believe that. But you dont. I want to make one thing clear. I did not president obama doing things through executive order and i preferred President Trump not do it through executive order. I thunk its unfortunate that were in a situation that they dont come together and deal with the situation because everything is political. And this is about our national security. I want to make it clear i dont agree with doing things through executive order if you dont deep a line in place, it will always be crossed. And thats what were seeing. Peter beinart, amy kramer, appreciate the debate. Thank you. Remember when everybody was asking whether trump ally roger stone could remain quiet after the judge slapped a gag order on him .

Thats how long it took for roger stone to throw himself back into the fire after a federal judge banned him from making Public Comments of any kind about the case. This weekend the longtime trump associate suggested hed been framed by the special counsel in a social media post. What does this mean . Renato mariotti is here. Renato, you take the he crossed the line position. I will defend. Okay. Well, let me tell you something. The judge indicated that he shouldnt comment at all. In addition to that Instagram Post hes also published a book that talks at length about the case. Hes continued distributing the book afterwards. His lawyers have asked they made a motion to clarify to the judge. And ill tell you, chris, when you make a motion for the judge to clarify a ruling, thats a very bad sign. And its also a bad sign that they told the judge that it hadnt occurred to them to report this to her earlier. Thats the defense. Thats the defense. We didnt know that this counted. We thought you wanted us to stop talking about you and stop talking about the specifics of the case. But the book is really only tangentially involved in the case and its actually about other dynamics and even what we put, that this framing we believe is much bigger than just this one case. The medias doing it. The left is doing it. Yeah, ive got to give you a lot of credit, chris, because youre able to say that with a straight face. And that is more than i could do in that circumstance. I would ask for the courts mercy in a circumstance like this. They already did that once. You cant do that because i already do d. That once. I already went to her once and said im sorry, im sorry, im sorry. You know, its i think thats the situation that theyre in. This is really twice, chris. The first time she gave she curbed in some circumstances roger stones ability to speak. Then he puts crosshairs on a picture of the judge. Bad idea. Yes. They have a long hearing. She gives hmm a full gag order. Now were back with a book and an Instagram Post . Its easy to argue you overlook one thing. Not two. I think hes in a very bad spot here. And the funny thing is he would have been okay if he left one of these things off. Understood. But heres the last line of my defense. You hurt yourself more than you hurt me if you act on this ruling. If throw me in jail, you make me a martyr. What im saying is over the line. But the line is arbitrary. Lets just get the case done. This is what i do. Im a dirty trickster. Thats how i describe myself. Thats what i do. Thats what stone calls himself. You throw me in jail, you make me a martyr. This isnt that big a deal. Dont make it a bigger deal. You want to call my lawyer and Say Something about it, i think on Something Like this that wouldnt really count as ex parte with the prosecutor, but if you want the prosecutor to and all say you do this again youre done, were going to go to the judge, fine. But you lose by winning by enforcing this rule. Yeah, i think judge jackson would say she doesnt care about winning or losing. Shes here to maintain a judicial system that is fair and impartial and shes not going to let oh, come on. If it was renato mariottis face with those crosshairs on it she wouldnt have acted the same way that she did when it was her face in the crosshairs. Its personal. And i understand that its personal. But if you put me in jail its personal too. And its going to be on you, judge, not just on me. The federal judiciary tends to take a lot of umbrage over threats to the federal judiciary. I suspect the d. C. Circuit court of appeals would also find her ruling to be justified in those circumstances. Throw me in jail . Does he go to jail . Does my client go to jail . You know what . If stone doesnt go to jail this time, hes going to screw this up and hes going to be right back in the same situation a week from now. At this rate. I think its just a matter of time before roger stone ends up in custody. The question is whether she does it today or excuse me, tomorrow. Or whether she does it, you know, a few weeks from now. Got to respect the court. But youve got to respect the outcome of these kinds of decisions too. This is all theres a lot of politics. Im not saying on the part of the judge. But im saying everything that happens has political implications. Shes got to see about that as well. Point is to make things better, not worse. Renato mariotti, well argued. You had the better side of the case. But thats all right. So thank you for watching us. I appreciate it. Cnn tonight with erin burnett, shes sitting in for dlemon, and begins right now.
