Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo 20180318

This week at the white house the threat posed by iran likely a hot topic of discussion, ill talk to former u. S. Ambassador Robert Jordan and billionaire investor venture capitalist sits down with me for an exclusive one on one interview at the Economic Club of new york why he supported President Trump in 2016 plus he tells us what company he believes is the most ferocious company in america were looking ahead right now on sunday morning futures. And the top story of the weekend follower fbi Deputy Director Andrew Mccabe breaking his silence following his firing by attorney general Jeff Sessions on friday night. Mccabe claiming his dismissal is part of an attack on the fbi and on the mueller russia investigation. Meanwhile we are also learning that mccabe kept notes on his interactions with the president , similar to the memos kept by former fbi director james comey. Joining me right now is House Judiciary Committee chairman Bob Goodlatte of virginia. Mr. Chairman good to have you on the Program Thanks for joining us. Good morning maria. Good to be with you and your viewers. Maria your reaction to the firing of Andrew Mccabe. Well, i think the attorney general did the right thing. It was the appropriate decision given the reports of his having leaked internal information to the media and then giving false information about that misleading information to those investigating the matter. These are very serious concerns and they tie into the overall concern about how the fbi handl ed investigations into the elections last year, so the steps are appropriate. Maria now there are a lot of pushbacks posts and tweets this weekend from the left. Lets go through the fireable offences here and why specifically Andrew Mccabe was fired. We know that the fbis office of professional responsibility recommended that mccabe be fired they cited findings from the Justice Departments Inspector General report which is going to be made public we understand in april. Mccabe made unauthorized disclosure to the news media he ordered the disclosure of information to the wall street journal about an Ongoing Investigation into the Clinton Foundation. He lacked candor under oath on multiple occasions, was not forthcoming, and in the end violated Justice Department policies. How did he lack candor . Is this suggesting he lied under oath . Well again, we wont know until we see the Inspector Generals report and hear other information but lacking candor definitely suggests that he gave false information to those investigating the matter. Maria you have been investigat ing the fbi along with the Oversight Committee and trey gowdy investigating the fbi and is handling of the clinton email scandal. We know that there are 1. 2 million pages of text. How many of those texts, those documents have you seen . There are more than texts, there are other documents as well in the 1. 2 million but weve only seen a tiny percentage of that and thats regrettable because quite frankly, while the work of the Inspector General is important and were looking forward to see ing his report, his responsibilities and the congress responsibilities in conducting oversight over the nations most important premier Law Enforcement organization is also important and we need to have those documents. The department and the bureau have been slow, i would say now very slow in getting them to us. The last time i was on your program i expressed confidence that we would have those documents forthcoming and here we are several weeks later still dont have them, so this is coming to a head. Maria congressman lets be clear there are 1. 2 million documents youve only seen 3000 of them youve been stonewalled for five months. We have seen some documents and weve seen more than we saw from the Obama Administration Justice Department but we need more documents and we need them now and we need them unredacted by the way maria. These latest revelations about peter strzok and lisa page talking about a federal judge, a judge contreras who was appointed to serve on the fisa court and theyre talking back and forth about how good that is and how peter strzok needs to be catching up with him and talking to him. That was made available to us earlier in a redacted form and it was only just recently that we had the opportunity to see that text unredacted. That clearly does not draw any conclusion about what that judge and peter strzok may have done or not done but is clearly material to what was going on in the fbi regarding how they were treating this court. Maria so again lets be clear here. Normally when there are redactions they redact things because they are a point of National Security, but in fact what was redacted because then you saw the unredacted material was text about going to a Cocktail Party with this fisa judge, judge contreras. Thats correct, and thats information thats material to the investigation. Not drawing any conclusions about it. Maria thats not National Security. Thats correct. Maria let me ask you because were all waiting on the Michael Horowitz ig report, sir but we know that Michael Horowitz does not have subpoena power. You do have subpoena power. If you keep getting stonewalled and you dont get this documents are you going to subpoena these documents . Well the answer is yes and as i say the whole matter is coming to a head. Weve had communications with the department of justice about this and they know that not just myself and chairman gowdy but many other members of the house are very concerned about the slow nature of those documents being produced and as i say actions going to have to take a new level here very soon. Maria so again, if you dont get the documents that you have been asking for for several months more than five months, you will subpoena those document s from the fbi . We will. Maria okay, let me ask you what went on here, sir, because people are wondering why there is such a pushback from the left in fact john brennan former head of the cia himself, came out this weekend and pushed back aggressively the firing of Andrew Mccabe. We have his tweet here and here is what he says to the president , when the full employee tent of your moral turpitude and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as disgraced demagog in history and scape goat Andrew Mccabe but you will not destroy america and america will triumph from under you. Im wondering about brennan. Wasnt he working for a time at the cia under president obama when some of this took place . Is he involved . Well we dont know that, but his statement is clearly over. The fact of the matter is both republicans and democrats should be concerned about the actions taking place in the federal bureau of investigation in 2016 and in 2017. If i were a democrat i would want to know why it is that Andrew Mccabe was leaking to the wall street journal about the Clinton Foundation and the clinton investigation, not about donald trump. If i were a democrat id want to know why james comey 10 days before the election announced he was reopening that investigation , he announced it publicly. It may have had an impact on the election and therefore, while republicans are very concerned about his original decision and how that came about not to indict former secretary of state clinton, it should be equally concerning to democrats that the manner was conducted the way it was conducted, so there is a serious problem with several people who were and im thankful to say are no longer but were at the head of the federal bureau of investigation. It needs to be investigated and needs to be investigated by an outside independent special counsel and thats why chairman gowdy and icon i conveyed to attorney general sessions just last week our belief that its very important that the attorney general appoint a special counsel to begin by looking into the manner in which fisa warrant s were obtained by the fbi. Maria well you make a really important point congressman because the Inspector General cannot subpoena or speak to or interview anyone whose no longer at the fbi, so that limits what he can actually do which is why youve asked youve sent a letter to the attorney general last week asking him to appoint a Second Special counsel. Have you heard back from Jeff Sessions yet on this . We have not heard back directly but we were pleased to see that he stated publicly in response to questions that he was taking the request seriously and im also pleased that a number of other individuals including four prominent senator s led by Senate Judiciary chairman Chuck Grassley later also joined us in calling for the appointment of a special counsel and ive been told by many people including some who were skeptical about the earlier call that i and others in the house made for the appointment of special counsel now agree that because that counsel has powers separate and apart from the department and the bureau and because they can look into matters that go beyond the department, there are allegation s about things going on in the state department as well, so this is an important thing that needs to be looked at in a serious manner by someone with independent and subpoena power and prosecution power. Maria mr. Chairman i want to ask you about what Andrew Mccabe said after he was fired this weekend and he said that he had authority to share information with the press with the knowledge of the director. That statement is entirely inconsistent with comeys may 2017 congressional testimony which obviously was under oath when he was asked have you ever authorized anyone to be an anonymous source in news reports about the trump or clinton investigation. He said no, never. Does that create perjury for james comey . Well i dont want to reach that conclusion because im not sure which of them is telling the truth; however, it creates a clear conflict in mr. Mccabes statement and mr. Comeys sworn testimony and that again is one more reason why an independent counsel needs to look into this matter and i say this because as we said at the outset, the fbi is the premier Law Enforcement organization of the world and tens and thousands of great men and women every day keep us safe they fight crime, they prevent terrorists attacks and they have been besmurched by this scandal at high levels in the fbi. It needs to be investigated from the outside so that the facts can be made known, corrections made, obviously the personnel are now being removed and that is a very important step and i applaud attorney general sessions for removing mr. Mccabe ; however, we need to make sure this does not happen in the future and therefore that congress which has the legislative power and the oversight responsibility needs to have all of the facts. Maria yeah, how long are you expecting this to go on . Lets say there is a Second Special counsel come in. What would be your timing on that . I couldnt control that and that is definitely a downside to investigations is they take some time but you do want to get all of the facts and you do want to conduct it in a professional and impartial manner, but we need to get about doing it. It should have been started months ago if not before that. Maria and by the way, mr. Chairman, do we know how high up the ladder this goes . I mean we know Loretta Lynch then attorney general told james comey refer to the clinton email investigation as a matter , not as a criminal investigation, and thats exactly what he did. He called it a matter not a criminal investigation. Did president obama direct Loretta Lynch to do that . Do we know how high up this goes we do not know whether that is indeed the case or not, but there certainly is a question about who exactly Hillary Clinton as secretary of state was sending classified emails in an unprotected manner and as that is further investigated, it maybe revealed that other people were aware of this situation that we do not have confirmation about at this point in time. Maria i think its really extraordinary that Andrew Mccabe took all these notes when he met with President Trump but there are no notes about Hillary Clinton. I dont even think that the interview that the fbi did was on the record. Mr. Chairman i hope youll come back soon thanks for joining us. I will maria let me say that last point you just made about bias is an absolutely critical issue the difference between how these two investigations were conducted is shocking. Maria thank you so much, sir. Well keep on it. Well be right back. H to esuran, you can save time, worry, hassle, and yup, money. In fact, drivers who switched from geico to esurance saved hundreds. Thats auto and Home Insurance for the modern world. Esurance. An allstate company. Click or call. Hey ron theyre finally taking down that schwab billboard. Oh, not so fast, carl. Oh no. Schwab, again . Index investing for that low . Thats three times less than fidelity. And four times less than vanguard. Whats next, no minimums . No minimums. Schwab has lowered the cost of investing again. Introducing the lowest cost index funds in the industry with no minimums. I bet theyre calling about the schwab news. Schwab. A modern approach to wealth management. Maria welcome back more now on mccabes firing at the fbi. Fox news contributor and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich joins me now to weigh in also the author of the number one New York Times best selling book understanding trump. Mr. Speaker its always a pleasure to see you thank you for joining us. Thank you, let me just say that i think you and chairman goodlatte just had an extraordinary interview that not only made news but really helped people understand how compelling it is to get to the heart of the corruption that was going on in the Justice Department. I thought it was very very important interview. Maria thank you so much and it is extra ordinary when you look at the fbi and we all, i said this earlier on fox friends. When you see a situation happen and the guys with the fbi jackets walk in, you feel better you feel like theres such trust in the fbi and unfortunately, all of those thousands of people have been besmurched by a group at the top that went rogue, Andrew Mccabe included. Well thats why its very very important to get to the heart of this and find out what went wrong. We rely as a country on the rule of law and you look at some place like venezuela or cuba, you understand how really important having faith in the rule of law is to a free society and the fbi has historically done an outstanding job and there are thousands of hard working agents all over the world doing the best they can but we have as a country an obligation to root out the cancer that was clearly at the heart of the Justice Department as you pointed out in your interview may well have gone above the fbi to the attorney general and beyond her, so i think this story is going to continue to unfold, and my experience back in the water gate years when i was first running for congress was these things unravel and each week you learn something new and that leads to something new and that leads you to something new and i think the report on mccabe is just one more piece of the unraveling and frankly the peter strzok stuff stuff may be as important as the mccabe stuff because at least based on initial copies were getting in the Text Messages he clearly had some kind of relationship with the judge who they went to for the fisa warrant to go after general flynn. I think that puts in doubt the entire process of flynns case and begins to setup an argument for giving flynn a pardon and racing that entire case. Maria well the other thing is the fact that they redacted that , so they have a conversation on text about the fact that judge contreras is going to a Cocktail Party, im going to go meet him at the Cocktail Party and that was what was redacted. Thats not of National Security. Thats just you dont want anybody to know that peter strzok went to a Cocktail Party with the fisa judge. No, you know, part of this and im beginning to think about maybe next year as all of this begins to unfold actually trying to put together just a history of it because its so complicated but the part of what youre seeing happen here is the deep state protecting itself by redacting things that are political, they pes renot National Security and your point is exactly right and im with you. When you got chairman goodlatte to admit that out of a 1. 2 million documents hes only gotten 3000 . It makes you wonder how much more were going to learn when we see the rest of those documents. Maria were going to talk more this morning about the ig report which we are expecting in april which has all of the facts in it and its always a pleasure to talk with you. Thank you. Maria Newt Gingrich there the white house gearing up for a high profile visit next week from the crown prince of saudi arabia and well get back with the fbi with Jim Kallstrom next. Tomorrow, its a day filled with promise and new beginnings, challenges and opportunities. At ameriprise financial, we cant predict what tomorrow will bring. But our comprehensive approach to Financial Planning can help make sure youre prepared for whats expected and even whats not. And that kind of Financial Confidence can help you sleep better at night. With the right financial advisor, life can be brilliant. Maria welcome back President Trump scheduled to host Saudi Crown Prince at the white house this upcoming week the two leaders had their first face to face encounter last may. Joining me now is the former ambassador to saudi arabia Robert Jordan the former ambassador under president george w. Bush ambassador good to see you thanks for joining us hi maria. Maria what are you expecting from this meeting next week . Well, this is a very big deal crown Prince Mohammed is i think seeking american support to continue pressure on iran. Hes no big fan of the Iran Nuclear Deal and so when we see some discussion about that and i think the president and our administration will want to talk with the saudis about whats going on in the war in yemen. Its a tremendous humanitarian catastrophe and im sure theres building pressure particularly within the senate to curtail that conflict, but i think fighting iran on various fronts throughout the middle east is going to be a very important part of it and also this blockade of qatar which has created a real rift. We very much need these to be on the same page so theres a lot of discussion about that and then of course its really important that crown Prince Mohammed is sort of taking off on a whistle stop tour throughout the United States. Hes going to san francisco, to la to meet with movie executives to talk with google and apple this is completely unheard of and i think it signals a completely new approach by the saudis to engaging with the west and certainly with america. Maria it sure does and when i was in rihad in october of last year, i had the chance to interview him and he said look we want to live like normal people. We want to live the way we lived before the iranian revolution in 1979, and that is the same place i guess that the president is on you mentioned two thins that the president disagreed with Rex Tillerson about, the iran deal and the situation in qatar. Exactly, and so i think this is going to be a chance for them to check signals, to be sure they are on the same page, and also to see where it goes from here, because even though the saudis have continued this blockade of qatar, its not really serving anyones interest and has actually driven qatar into the arms of iran and turkey so theres some major Strategic Issues theyve got to sort out here. Maria are you expecting the president to renew the iran deal when it comes up next . My guess is he will not and i think that secretary designation pompeo will support that. The europeans are frantically trying to figure out a way to get together some for example, leaf that will look like a re negotiation of the deal and none of it has much to do with anything other than additional sanctions, so im not optimistic that were going to see a break threw and it sounds to me as if the president will not certify it. Maria meanwhile there is a growing thought that there is a connection between tehran and north korea. Do you see a connection . Yeah. I havent seen evidence of it yet but it wouldnt surprise me if there were communications back and forth, certainly theres also been rumors the north koreans had communications with pakistan some years ago, so all of this is a very dark area that we dont have much visibility on. Maria when you say, you know, conversations obviously were talking about the availability of nuclear weaponry. Certainly technology if not weaponry itself and so i think thats something we very much want to closely follow our intelligence organizations need to work seamlessly together to try to sort this out and find out what we can. Maria you know, in terms of the saudi aramco deal that is delay ed until next year, do you expect that this deal will not come to the United States because of the opportunity for the victims and the families of 9 11 to sue, to be able to sue the saudi government because my theory is its not going to come to america at all because of this recent legislation that allows the victims to sue the saudi government. I think that legislation is an impediment. There has been some talk within the senate of a bill that would give the president discretionary power to wave the ability to bring those suits and if thats the case we may see a resurgence of that opportunity but right now i do think listening in america is a problem. Maria ambassador good to see you ill see you next week on the Fox Business Network as we assess the meeting. Thank you, sir. Thanks maria. Maria Robert Jordan joining us back to our top story Andrew Mccabe is out at the fbi breaking news from house judiciary chairman Bob Goodlatte on this program he just told me he will subpoena the missing documents hes asked for from the fbi and he says the fbi has been stonewalling kong rose former assistant fbi director James Kallstrom stromb is next live as we look ahead on sunday morning futures this morning.

James kallstrom is former assistant director and jim its good to see you. You had 27 years at the fbi i know how important and pride you have for the fbi. How do you think the fbi is taking it this morning that the number two guy, Andrew Mccabe, has been fired . I think its a big sigh of relief and a good feeling about the fact that an fbi element, an organization in the fbi recommended he be fired. Maria the office. As opposed to them being mute and having someone else make that recommendation so i think theyre very happy about that. I dont know for a fact but im guessing thats the case and theyre just gnawing at the bit to actually get involved una real investigation, not a phony investigation like james comey conducted a fraudulent investigation. Maria i dont understand what was driving them, jim. Lets put this in context for a moment. Youve got 10 people at the top of the fbi and the department of justice that have been either fired or reassigned obviously this is no coincidence. Do you think somebody was directing them or do you think they just came to the conclusion on their own this leadership at the fbi and the department of justice that they wanted to change the outcome of the election. They wanted to protect Hillary Clinton. I think we have ample facts revealed to us during this last year and a half that high ranking people throughout government not just the fbi, highranking people had a plot to not have Hillary Clinton, you know, indicted so that she could remain the flawed candidate she was which in my view is stupidity and they also had and even this strzok guy talked about this. They had a backup plan to basically frame donald trump and thats whats been going on this whole thing in my view is just total phony. I mean, how would you feel someone out there in america land or Somebody Just had a phony scheme about you and went on for months and months and months and thats whats going on. Maria well the special counsel is in place and now you just heard Bob Goodlatte chairman of judiciary wanting a Second Special counsel. I want to get your take on how high this goes up because im wondering if Andrew Mccabe just perjure james comey and what the cul p ability is of james comey so Andrew Mccabe in terms of pushing back on this firing said i was authorized to share information with the press and that was known among many including the director, okay . But here is what the director james comey said back in may of last year, when asked this specific question. Here is james comey under oath listen to this. Director comey have you ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating to the trump investigation or the clinton investigation . Never. Question 2 on relatively related. Have you ever authorized someone else at the fbi to be an anonymous source in news reports about the trump investigation or the clinton investigation . No. Maria never and no and yet Andrew Mccabe on saturday morning had a lengthy statement saying i was authorized to share this information and the director knew about it. Your thoughts . Well i read that statement and obviously, you know, hes puffing up his few feathers that he has left. I think nothing that he said was truthful from my understanding of his role in the fbi. What kind of an investigator he was, what kind of a supervisor. He was lacking in so many ways thats my understanding, and, you know, statements like that were by cnn or somebody else, you know, they are just going to add more trouble to him. Maria how independent do you think was Andrew Mccabe versus james comey . I mean could he have done all this . I wonder that myself with how much mccabe was doing that james comey knew about or didnt know about. To me thats a little bit of a question. Maria why, what do you mean . Well i just dont know. The stupidity of some of these things was so, you know, rampant that it almost makes me question although james comey is not a stupid individual i think hes naive as an eagle the size of the Empire State Building and he has a lot of other faults that got him into this trouble, but i mean, i could be wrong. They could have been totally in lock step but theres no question that he and mccabe and others in the fbi and the Justice Department and were going to find out the state department and the National Security advisor to the president and the deputy National Security advisor and john brennan. Did you see John Brennans remarks . Maria we ran this with a tweet at the top of the show. There was real in that tweet against President Trump. The malice against trump. Maria there it is right on the screen. Its prime aphasia really exposure of how he felt about trump preelection and how he was, you know, my sources tell me that he was leaking almost weekly and daily. You know, and he was taking that bunch of phony crap supposedly from russia, you know, and put tag through to congress all of his buddies in the media. He was one of the active people, you know and ive known him a long time. Maria so you think hes involved . Oh, i think hes involved absolutely and it goes right to the top maria. I think it involves that whole strategy they were going to win, nobody would know any of this stuff and they just unleashed the intelligence community. Look at the unmasking. We havent even heard anything about that yet. Look at the way they violated the rights of all of those american citizens right . And general flynn. I hope general flynn sues a lot of people because he was handled so bad. Maria well people have gone to jail for lying to the fbi. That is a felony. He didnt lie to the fbi. Maria no i know it. And they didnt even interview him about a crime. He was in his legal authorized, you know, mode when all that happened. Maria but it was a felony to leak his conversation with the ambassador to russia to the press. What was a felony his unmask ing. Maria we know that from Jeff Sessions. Theres no question. They are the people that have committed felonies not the general and theyre very ruined that guy because they threatened his son, you know, they bankrupted this guy that gave his life to this country. You know, and just the whole dealings. Look how they didnt deal with the irs, you know, theres so many things theyve done badly. Maria well it now feels like its opening up and things are coming out we will see how close do you think james comey was with Loretta Lynch . I mean Loretta Lynch directed comey to call it a matter not a criminal investigation, its exactly what he did. You can go through so many of them its actually extraordinary i think he was in lock step and as ive said theres Musical Chairs going on and Loretta Lynch was the leader of the band but you know this whole business of special counsel, now here is another thing if youve got a moment. You know, i would wish we didnt have to have a special counsel but weve got the attorney general who is a good guy but he just hasnt maria he recused himself from everything. Yeah, are we going to depend on the Deputy Attorney general to pick another special counsel when he picked Robert Mueller when he appointed a special counsel in violation often abl ing statue of special counsel statue that says you must have set out the crimes that you want investigate and you must make the point that these are crimes that the Justice Department cannot investigate because theyre conflicted. Well he did none of that. He put the guy thats conflicted like the jersey turnpike from endtoend. Maria which is why its really important that Bob Goodlatte just told us hes goes to subpoena for the other documents because Michael Horowitz and the Inspector General does not have subpoena power and its important that theres a big voice now pushing for a Second Special counsel. Right. Maria an independent counsel. And how does the Deputy Attorney general remain the Deputy Attorney general . My humble view when he signed the last continuation of a fisa order there was lies. Maria Jim Kallstrom great to see you. Thank you so much for your insights coming up my exclusive interview with Billionaire Technology investor and venture capitalist why hes reported President Trump in the last election and why he thinks he will win again in 2020 as we look ahead right now on sunday morning futures back in a moment maria welcome back renouned billionaire venture capitalist peter thiel sitting down with me at the Economic Club of new york this week i spoke with him about his support for President Trump and the company that he says is the most ferocious in america. Our greatest political problem is the problem of Political Correctness and i think there are, you know, any of a number of issues where it is good to rethink things, you know, the very big tax reform that was pushed through at the end of last year i think is a very good thing and it reflects that were living una very different world where we have to ask very hard questions about how do you get American Companies to compete globally. The last big tax reform was in 1986 and before that we sort of had simplified and had sort of uniform taxes and that made sense in a nonglobalized world which is much less globalized in 1986 and then by 2017, our tax code was setup in such a way that american businesses were seriously disadvantaged and this was an incredibly healthy reset and so i think there are, you know, any of the number of topics where its very good to be asking these questions and then its been yes, its been obviously all sorts of things that are somewhat disappointing and at the same time, i dont know how much one can expect so thats i think i still think that its better than the alternatives by far. Maria uhhuh, Hillary Clinton. Yes, or bernie sanders. Maria or bernie sanders. It does seem like every industry is using ai, and if you arent using ai, you will be at a disadvantage so there are these sophisticated things like ai, and then things that are really basic like Online Shopping and really good delivery and getting something delivered in two hours like amazon is doing and ooms is trying to take over, can anybody beat amazon . I do think amazon is the most ferocious company in the u. S. At this point and if you were it is probably the company that you dont want to be competing against. I think theres always this very big difference between Companies Like apple, microsoft, google, facebook, where the core businesses are quite high margin and the internal conversation is always well, we can expand into this other business but were only going to employee and into other businesses that are equally high margin, and so you end up, these end up being not that aggressive on the expansion side, and they talk about it a lot they think about a lot of things but then most of the time , the calculus is always does our margin go down if we do this and if we do it maybe we shouldnt. By the way im not sure thats the right way to think about it maybe earning 1. 5 on your money in the bank account if you do better than that by investing in other things. Maria more on my interview on fox business. Com with peter thiel, plus, after the break more on the fallout over the firing of fbi director Andrew Mccabe. Our panel is on next to discuss as we look ahead on sunday morning futures right here back in a moment. Hey we didnt have a homeowners claim last year so allstate is giving us money back on our bill. Well, that seems fair. We didnt use it. Wish we got money back on gym memberships. Get money back hilarious. With claimfree rewards. Switching to allstate is worth it. Maria now, our Political Panel weighs in ed rollins is the former Campaign Manager for the reagan bush ticket and former new york senator with us both are fox news contributors gentlemen good to see you both. Thank you. Maria an extraordinary week. When historians look back at this administration this is one of the great weeks both on a negative way and positive way. You had obviously changes in the administration, tillerson gone, new team coming in losing a very critical seat pennsylvania and i think whats going to happen at this point in time running the Congressional Committee years ago these members of congress are going to be panicked and basically not always be supportive of the president at a time when he really needs support. Maria well the democrats have to have a message going into the midterm. Youre saying the republicans are going to rethink . I would argue the message for republicans is not nancy pelosi but that doesnt work. What it is one on one. If im running against al demato , its why im better for your district and like me ill go to washington and help donald trump get his agenda through thats the message not nancy pelosi. Maria but you know, senator, youve got two storylines on the republican side going into the midterms on one hand the economy is doing better by the way the Federal Reserve is probably going to raise Interest Rates next week in their two day meeting were expecting the fed to raise rates wednesday by the way because the economy is doing better and the second storyline is this potential massive abuse of power at the highest halls of government the fbi and doj. Its not getting through. That message has not gotten through. Jim kallstrom did an incredible job but how many people follow that . In other words, you have either mccabe lied or the former comey lied. One or the other. Did comey authorize the release of information . He says no. Maria he said never. Under oath. So did he lie . Should congress have a hearing . Should they determine, should there be an investigation . There certainly should be. The corruption that took place in the Justice Department is undeniable and it really is but getting back to the election, my friend, ed rollins has hit the nail on the head. Talk about the economy and what weve moved forward and make sure you have candidates who can stand up to it. Our candidate in pennsylvania he didnt carry a message. He really didnt. Well the critical thing here is what does the president do now and the president obviously is very frustrated by whats going on with mueller and what have you and i would not be shocked in the next two or three weeks he fires them and if he does that then obviously youve got all kinds of things. Maria that would be huge for the left would say that dont underestimate that and i dont think he has the best legal advice and i very precarious situation here and its all about what occurred is that Justice Department for the eight years of obama was very slanted towards hillarys re election once that didnt occur, then obviously they did Everything Else to tip at least the hierarchy tip the balance against trump and making trump successful.
