More facts than typically found in an indictment. Flood protests one day after release of the redacted Mueller Report. Flood described the report as a prosecutorial curiosity, Part Commission report, and Law School Exam paper. It is true the Mueller Report did not examine a criminal conspiracy between the Trump Campaign. It did unearth obstruction by President Trump but did not say whether President Trump should be prosecuted a move the attorney general questioned on capitol hill this week. The president touted the report as total vindication even though possible obstruction came up about a dozen times in that report. That includes when the president told then White House Counsel Don Mcgahn to have mueller removed. House judiciary chairman nadler subpoenaed mcgahn to testify. The president says thats not going to happen. Ive had him testifying already for 30 hours. Is the answer no . I dont think i can let him and tell everybody else you cant. I would say its done. Weve been through this. Nobody has ever done what i have done. I have given total transparency. Its never happened before like this. Without sitting down with investigators. Emmett floods letter makes clear President Trump has not closed the door on exerting executive privilege. Expect this battle to continue. Attorney general barr was a no show for a second day of scheduled testimony over a dispute about who would ask the questions. Congressman steve cohen showed what he thought about that with a bucket of kfc in a congressional hearing. And a porcelain chicken, mind you. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi offered a far more serious response about something the attorney general told congress under oath weeks ago. Manu ragu on capitol hill House Democrats are planning to move forward to hold the attorney general in contempt of congress if he does not meet their demands, to turn over the full Mueller Report, the underlying evidence, everything they have been asking for. The Justice Department offering a less redacted report that does not include the grand jury information, allowing that report to be reviewed by a small number of members, 12 to be impact, after barrs appearance before the Senate Judiciary committee, the speaker of the house made very clear that she believes the attorney general lied to congress when he previously testified he was not aware of concerns from the special counsels team about his handling of the report, and she made dramatic remarks saying the attorney general committed a crime. He lied to congress. He lied to congress, and if anybody else did that, it would be considered a crime. Nobody is above the law. Now, the Justice Department pushed back on that remark saying its baseless, inaccurate, and barrs allies on capitol hill also defending him saying the democrats really are trying to pursue one thing, impeachment, trying to go after the president at all costs. Democrats are divided over that topic. Pelosi herself trying to tamp that down saying, look, this is something that will end at the senates edge and the impeachment is the easy way out, but unfortunately for her, not all democrats agree. Christine and dave. Manu, thank you for that. The pentagon is accusing china of using espionage to steal military secrets.

One thing to watch for in this report, manufacturing. Manufacturing jobs have boomed under the Trump Administration, adding nearly half a million since he took office. That book could be fading as the effect of tax cuts and Government Spending cools down. U. S. Manufacturers also face tariffs driving up costs and slowing growth in china and europe.

I called him via face time as hes there in the hospital bed with his family by his side, and i took him up on stage with me, and announced him to the crowd and they gave him quite the ovation, cheering him on just as he has cheered on countless Buffalo Bills play skpeers and entire city himself.

We start with President Trump, thrilled with the Mueller Report once but the white house not so much. A Top White House lawyer, memo t flood accusing Robert Muellers team of politics. In a letter to attorney general bill barr one day after the release of the redacted Mueller Report. Flood described the report as quote a prosecutorial curiosity. Part Law School Exam paper. It is true, the Mueller Report did not establish a criminal conspiracy between the Trump Campaign and the russians. Mueller did unearth substantial obstruction by mr. Trump but did not say whether mr. Trump should be prosecuted. The attorney general questioned on capitol hill this week. The president touted the report as total vindication even though possible obstruction came up about a dozen times. And that includes when the president told then White House Counsel Don Mcgahn to have mueller removed. Last week, house judiciary chairman jerry nadler subpoenaed mcgahn to testify. Now the president says thats not going to happen. Ive had him testifying already for 30 years. Is the answer no . I dont think i can let him and tell everybody else you cant. I would say its done. Weve been through this. Nobody has ever done what i have done. I have given total transparency. Its never happened before like this. Emmett floods letter makes clear President Trump has not closed the door on exerting executive privilege. Expect this battle to continue. Attorney general barr was a no show for a second day of scheduled testimony all over a dispute over who would ask the questions. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi offered a serious response about something the attorney general told congress under oath weeks ago. Lets bring in cnn politics reporter, jeremy live in washington. Happy friday. Good to see you. Good to see you as well. Nancy pelosi, the house speaker, is pulling the reigning through the midterms not engaging with President Trump and through this impeachment talk really pulling back her party. Suddenly she is kicking this horse. Heres what the speaker said yesterday. He lied to congress. He lied to congress. If anybody else did that, it would be considered a crime. Nobody is above the law. He lied to congress and committed a climb. Where are we headed . Yeah, you know, this is about how attorney general barr has characterized the Mueller Report and questioning from Charlie Crist last month. He said he didnt know if there were any objections from mueller and his team about the report. Obviously muellers letter that came out that raised significant objections about how barr had characterized the report called that into question. The Justice Department pushed back and said that the speaker was wrong here in saying that the attorney general lied but what were seeing is an all out kind of assault on the attorney general from House Democrats. We had the no show yesterday. Chairman jerry nadler, hes threatening to hold the attorney general in contempt of Congress Next week over trying to get access to the Mueller Report. This is really barrelling towards a major show down between the Justice Department and House Democrats. And mueller didnt rule on obstruction, and you have the white house using that to its advantage. The white house attorney emmett flood a day after the redacted report went public, wrote this letter to bill barr mocking the Mueller Report as a, what, a Law School Exam paper, and essentially laying out how the president should be able to stop anybody from going to congress to talk about the contents of the Mueller Report, that he has that right. Where does this go from here . Does the oversight end then . Is that what theyre making the case for . Even though the letter wasnt directed and written to democrats, that was the intended target here. Its going to be a big fight over executive privilege. The president waived executive privilege to let don mcgahn and let others testify and be interviewed by the special counsel. Congress is trying to say because the president waived executive privilege for the special counsel its waved for congress. The white house feels differently, and this letter was a way to put it out there right after mueller finished, were not going to let mcgahn and others talk to you because congress is a very different story than the criminal investigation that mueller conducted. All the while, jeremy, the president of the United States, 11 45 last night, what else would he be doing other than tweeting saying now republicans and democrats should come together. Look, i mean, its hard to make that argument after what we have seen the last couple of years. It would be nice if that were the case, immigration, infrastructure, lower drug prices is there any chance of republicans and democrats coming together. Will all of this ultimately be litigated in 2020. I think this will be litigated in 2020. That doesnt mean that the two sides cant find certain issues. We saw nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, they did have a meeting where they talked about infrastructure, and whether they could come up with a trillion dollar deal on infrastructure. Now, can the president do that on the one hand, while on the other hand, fighting tooth and nail, every subpoena and call for a witness to testify. I think that remains to be seen whether the president will be able to put those two things aside. We saw that during the clinton administration. They did get things done with the Republican Congress while impeachment was going on. Its not clear whether the president will be able to do the same. Im not holding my breath. Listen, lets talk a little bit about the latest in his doomed nominees, steven moore told the president in a letter yesterday that he was withdrawing from the process of the fed board. Herman cain, he pulled out too. Theres a lot of questions about his viability for that job given some of the questions about Sexual Harassment that he had faced, you know, the on the campaign trail. That came up during the campaign. A lack of vetting causing problems in this white house. Theres a long list that the president goes for his gut, who, you know, put somebody forward and then during the vetting process, you know, it falling apart. What does this say about all the best people surrounding this president . Thats actually the case. The fact is there isnt a vetting process before the president put forward out of the box nominees and we hear frustrations from Senate Republicans constantly about this issue, the president will find a nominee, announce it often on twitter and then the vetting will begin from the press, cnn did a lot of reporting on some of the derogatory comments towards women that steven moore made and the nomination doesnt make it before the senate. Its one of those things that Senate Republicans have to take what they see as the good and the bad. It certainly is a frustration that they would like to see fixed. It doesnt seem like the president is going to change his ways of course. Going with his gut, isnt he. Jeremy herb makes his point with words, not with porcelain farm animals and we appreciate that my friend. Have a great weekend. Absolutely. You too. Thank you.

Juan guaido saying thats the only way the protest movement, the Opposition Movement will work in order to dislodge president Nicolas Maduro. Whats interesting is they are saying they are going to take the protests to the military installations and while that is true, that it will be confrontational, i have seen it myself on the streets here. You will have the protesters literally face to face with military guard personnel, and saying look, i know youre hungry. I know youre hungry like me. I know you want to join us. That has led as i said to more violence and confrontation. The opposition maintaining, look, we want a peaceful transition but it seems the pitch battles on the streets continue to be inevitable. The u. S. Trump administration of course continuing to try and figure this all out.
