Then President Trump left the room pretty abruptly, chose to answer no questions this afternoon despite the fact that there was a suggestion that he might, he usually does. Clearly the white house wants to get out the positive message of the asia trip, understandable, but no doubt behind the scenes they are trying to figure out what to do, if they can do anything, about the roy moore situation. Remember, the senate g. O. P. Advantage is two votes. They need to hold that alabama seat in order to push forward the president s agenda. But right now, moore is up by 6 in 1 poll, we will show you another, and it forces are pretty defiant. Has been with him and probably over 100 different readings and in excess of 10,000 different committees in his presence, and not once not one time have i ever seen him act even remotely inappropriate against any woman. Toward any woman. The allegations that have come out, i hope you understand, it takes time to work through this. We dont have a 20 million budget as a campaign, it takes time, so we want to be correct. We want to make sure that when we say something, its proper. We are still working through some things. Martha so what happens now now . Ed henry joins us live now from the white house with the story. Martha, a lot happening, breaking tonight, al. Com publishing the accounts of two more female accusers against roy moore, and as you noted, the president refused to answer shouted questions about the candidate. Political reporting that during the president s trip to asia he received an urgent call from Mitch Mcconnell urging that he help, jump in and try to push moore out of the race. So for the president is steering clear of this race altogether. Mcconnell today saying flatly if moore wins on december 12th and then is sworn in, he would face an immediate investigation by the Ethics Committee that could lead to his expulsion from the senate chamber. The majority leader also again floated the idea the party should rally around attorney general Jeff Sessions as a writein candidate. The former senator has shot down the idea he even wants his old seat. More importantly, moore is showing zero signs of getting out and is doubling down on new threats of potential legal action against media organizations like the Alabama Media group that have published allegations of sexual misconduct. The candidate firing off a letter calling this libel, slander and fraud. Moore painting himself as a man taking on the swamp this afternoon in a tweet. The republicans and democrats who did everything they could to stop donald trump and elect Hillary Clinton are the very same people who are now trying to take us down with lies and smears. Then his campaign sent a laurel out late this afternoon to suggest the evidence presented by one female accusers last week that moore signed her High School Yearbook might turn out to be a fraud. We demand that you immediately release the yearbook to a neutral custodian so that our expert you can send your expert as well if you would like to, so that our expert can look at it. Not a copy on the internet, the actual document so that we can see the lettering, we can see the ink on the page. Still, the drip drip of some elected republican officials running for moore continues. His Campaign Website actually pulled on the section of the site today that shows endorsements. The list of endorsements is currently being updated. And then moments ago from ivanka trump. The president s daughter. She said there is a special place in hell for people who prey on children. Ive you have to see a valid explanation, and i have no reason to doubt the victims accounts. A powerful statement tonight from the president s daughter, who also has a prominent role in this administration. While the president has not commented, shes making it clear where this family stands. Martha that maybe early indication, thank you so much. Here now, charlie hurt, Political Columnist for the Washington Times and jessica tarlov, senior director of research for bussell. Com, both fox news contributors. The white house is an issue on its hand, they have to figure out how to come out publicly with this. The president and his daughter ivanka, also a Senior Advisor for the president see the same way on things, and sometimes they dont. What you make of it . There are no good options for the president right now, or for republicans in general, but i do think the statements from the very harsh statement from ivanka trump probably signals probably where her father is. I would imagine in the coming days what we will see is the president will come out and he will comment on this, he will denounce roy moore, and he will probably remind everybody that he didnt support them from the beginning. He was right all along. Martha point they can say whatever they want. Roy moore is an incredibly independent character and he shows absolutely no signs of really caring what the white house advises either way. They go absolutely and it has been leaking out that steve bannon is not going to withdraw his support for roy moore. We know how powerful he is in the kind of trump candidate form, even though tom didnt back in, as charlie put it there. I expect to see the white house come out, especially now that the entirety of the Republican Leadership is coming against him. I think he will make some kind of wishywashy statement about it to say the truth of the matter is no matter what happened 40 years ago roy moore will not be able to work in the senate, we will not be able to pass my agenda, we need this for the american public, we need tax breaks, more Affordable Health care, or whatever other talking point hes going to use, and try to shy away from all the people who still called for a more deplorable, as it were. Ivanka making the argument as well. Martha heres one interesting thing that could happen. The president will probably want to have a conversation with Jeff Sessions, right, charlie . Possibly. Martha discussed the possibility, no . Without a doubt Jeff Sessions is the most popular politician in alabama and he is somebody who could win a writing campaign, but i remain very skeptical about that at this point. I think that Mitch Mcconnell was sort of tweaking the president a little bit for pointing out that this is still your problem and you can sort of help us do something about it, but at the same time also sending a signal to Jeff Sessions that republicans in the senate would love to have you back. But i still find it might be a little bit clever, too clever by half, and i find it sort of unlikely that Jeff Sessions is going to sort of embark on some kind of venture like that. I think that what we really might wind up seeing that roy moore wins or loses, but if he wins he gets removed and then we see the steps to replace them. Martha obviously they didnt want the distraction of the roy moore story today at the white house, but if that happens, that distraction will be around a heck of a lot longer. Thank you both, great to see you, jessica we will see you in a little bit. Still ahead tonight, roy moore scandal creating some of the reckoning to and democrats. And how they reacted to the past allegations of the allegations to bill clinton. Many of them piping up and writing articles and going on television saying they believe juanita broderick. Why no . Than, the man behind the antitrump dossier is now speaking out explaining how the media got their hands on it, and it was unfounded. They blame comey. Thats one of the questions we will talk about. We will speak about that coming up. House lawmakers are debating. Also tonight, what could be a historic, they hope, tax reform bill. The war of words heats up between budget director Mick Mulvaney and congressman peter king on the elimination of what is known as the salt tax, deducting your state and local taxes has a lot of congressman fired up in big states. Mulvaney saying i dont think its up to the federal government to save new york from its bad decisions. Congressman pete king has a Little Something to say, new york a little bit coming up. After this. Weve been subsidizing Mick Mulvaney and his constituents for years. Hes using this opportunity to screw us. It all starts with a wish. The lincoln wish list event is here.

Martha tonight there are some new details on the russia dossier straight from fusing gps cofounder Glenn Simpson. Seven hours of testimony for him on the hill. It republicans worked to make this happen. They finally pulled it off. He faced questions from the House Intel Committee about how and why he put together the socalled trump dossier that was then leaked to individuals, to news organizations, the fbi had its hands on it as well. They also considered getting fusion to do some work for them, which raised quite a few questions. Trace gallagher is live in our west coast news room with the back story on this one. Fusion gps cofounder Glenn Simpson it made it clear from the getgo that he would not talk about his ties to the Democratic National committee or their Hillary Clinton campaign, both of which financed the trump dossier through the law firm. During his seven hours of testimony, Glenn Simpson did acknowledge that he paid former british by Christopher Steele to do Opposition Research on donald trump. But when he authored the dossier, simpson admits he never verified certain aspects of it. He never traveled to russia and never spoke with any of the underlying sources of the dossier. But today, simpsons attorney said that in hindsight the document looks quite accurate. G. O. P. Congressman trey gowdy, who sits on the Intel Committee says it would never stand up in court. Watch. The threshold for whether or not you believe something is true is not real high and you are an Opposition Research piece. Its really high import. A source tells Catherine Herridge the reason Glenn Simpson released parts of the dossier to certain members of the media is because he was angry when thenfbi director james comey reopened the Hillary Clinton email investigation just days before the election and simpson was trying to push back, though he denies paying any journalist to publish favorable stories. We also know that Glenn Simpson met with russian lawyer. Shes the woman at the very heart of the controversial from tower meeting with donald, jr. , Jared Kushner and others. But simpsons lawyers say his clients knew nothing of the trump tower gathering. Watch. He was shocked and surprised when this matter appeared in newspapers, in the news media this summer. Keep in mind the House Intel Committee is still seeking fusion gps bank records to follow the money. Martha thats how you figure out the story, thank you very much. Joining me now republican congressman sean duffy, and matt bennett, former Deputy Assistant to president clinton. Good to have you you here. Congressman, let me start with you. What you make of the latest revelations regarding fusion gps and Glenn Simpson . It reeks to high heaven. You have a situation where simpson with fusion gps wont release his bank records, wont talk about his connection with Hillary Clinton and the dnc, and frankly i think americans want to know. I think if we are going to look at russia and campaigns we shouldnt just look at donald trump, lets look at Hillary Clinton and her involvement with russia, which goes through fusion gps and deals with the fbi. At this just muddies the water and bring some more questions than answers, which is why we want to get to the bottom of it. Martha one of the questions that lingers out there is whether or not the fbi used this dossier, which as trey gowdy points out, was Opposition Research, it was not research, it was not reporting, not verified. If they use that to unmask individuals in the Trump Administration or to push forward their investigation, they have a problem with that. I dont think so. At the fbi doesnt have to meet a standard of proof that you use in court when they are an investigation. They can operate on hunches, thats how investigations work. But i will agree with congress mcduffie on one point. Martha if youre going to unmask individuals, you have to prove that there is a National Security threat that underlies it. You have to prove to get the ability to do that, to unmask those individuals, that there is substantial evidence underlying it. Right, im completely comfortable with there being an investigation to find out whether the fbi acted improperly in this case or not. It doesnt matter. What congressman duffy said is right. This is muddying the waters and its muddying the waters in a moment when the president of the United States is still acting in ways that are totally and explicable as it relates to the hes acting like chamberlain in the face of vladimir putin. As opposed to the leaders of britain and spain who yesterday came out very strongly instead russian is meddling in our elections and it has to stop. There has been no evidence whether its james comey or clapper or senator feinstein that donald trump is colluded with any russians. The only conclusion that we seen is Hillary Clinton on the russians, and by the way with the fbi, its concerning that you have this sleazy dossier that james comey hasnt verified and goes and briefs then president elected donald trump and has it leaked to the media, giving credibility to the dossier, which in the end gives us this investigational President Trump. This whole thing again, it reeks to high heaven and i think we need a special counsel who took a look at what actually happened. Not just with the dossier but also what happened with uranium one. What happened with the clinton foundation. Theres so much smoker, i think theres a fire. Martha as trey gowdy points out, we have a Justice Department to handle that, you dont need to call a special counsel and for everything that drops from the tree. In your own Shepard Smith did a great job of dismantling the uranium one, which is nonsense. There is zero evidence that secretary clinton or her campaign colluded with the russians, it just isnt true, congressman. I didnt say the president had colluded, i said hes acting incredibly weirdly with the relation to russia, and he matters a whole lot more than she does right now. Martha we will have to agree to disagree, have to leave it there. We will pick it up another time. Still to come tonight, President Trump helping to secure the release of these three College Basketball players were held as criminals for shoplifting in china. So today they stepped in front of the microphone and we are going to play for you what they had to say the President Trump. And happening right now on capitol hill, lawmakers are debating the final details of something that will be very important to you in your life and your tax returns as they get ready for the vote tomorrow. New word of words between congressman in the white house is heating up. New york irishman peter king tweeting this. From sandy to tax reform, Mick Mulvaney tries to screw new york. He writes on twitter. Probably feels inferior because new york subsidizes his state of South Carolina. Both of those men coming up next. Alright, off you go. Casual fridays at Buckingham Palace .

This is what mulvaney has been doing back when he was in congress. Hes the guy that led the fight against the sandy relief money, he never supported the 9 11 Health Care Bill for new york, and now he seems to use every opportunity to take shots at new york. Weve been subsidizing Mick Mulvaney and his constituents for years and now hes using this opportunity to screw us. Martha dont mess with peter king, he doesnt mince words when asked how he feels about Mick Mulvaney and about this bill. The war of words that is continuing tonight over the tax reform is heating up. Heres a live load, kind of empty there, one man standing at the moment. Republicans are doing what all members of congress are sent there to do, they are working on a bill on capitol hill. One of the major sticking points for congressman king and for many others is the loss of state and local Tax Deductions, which could cost residents a lot more money. Moments ago i spoke exclusively with the director from the white house, Mick Mulvaney. Thank you very much, great to have you here tonight. Thanks for having me, i hadnt heard that clip from peter, that was fun. Martha he is not a happy man, and hes hearing it from his constituents and we are hearing it in new jersey as well. My home state. Where people feel like they get such a huge amount of their tax dollars to support the country. The largest tax college from new york that is put in by the state of new york and they feel like why should they have to take it on the chin by losing the state and local tax deduction, which wasnt part put in place to kind of balance things out a little bit. A couple different things. First of all, im sure that as candid as peter is, i appreciate that, i worked with him, i very much enjoy doing that. He and i probably agree more than we disagree. Hes got a job to do representing his folks and i got a job to do trying to explain some of the things the white house perceives any existing tax code in one of those things, went to the heart of this decision, at least the position we have the state and local taxes again, this is really more a house in a senate thing than anything else. We support with the senate did, we support with the senate did. Martha the senate removed the deduction completely. Heres the policy behind it, if you live in new jersey lets take South Carolina out of it, move me to kansas, another lowtech state. You live in new jersey, i live in kansas, and if Everything Else about our life is exactly the same, the same about of money, house, money, same number of children, shouldnt we pay the same amount to support the federal government . I think you can make the case that you should, that all of the city things being equal, we should pay the same not to support federal government, the defense of the nation, all the things the federal government does. At the state and local Tax Deductions as sort of worked out over the last couple years to the point where states, state, new york has been able to raise their state and local taxes higher than they otherwise might have been able to because they are able to deduct that before they pay their federal taxes. The net effect of that is the folks who live in kansas actually pay more, all other things being equal. We could go back and forth on it all night. The Tax Foundation says South Carolina gets back a dollar 35 for every federal tax dollars that new york gets a return of 0. 79. I do want to leave it there. We will get more that in the moment but i want to get to some of the other issues out there. Ron johnson, senator from wisconsin said hes a no on this tax bill the way it stands right now. He says it is still the following people who think they will get a 25 rate. It is still lost a lot of people. Hes talking about Small Business owners who may believe they will get that rate and that maybe they wont get it. What would you say to them tonight . The same thing weve been saying from the very beginning. The treatment of the passthrough entities, s corporations, llc partnership, probably the last biggest substantive stumbling block we have to deal with. If the house chose to deal with it in a certain way, i think they took 70 of the income and taxed it as actual personal income. 30 is the return on capital. I havent seen the details, i understand the senate came out with another way to do it. Clearly you didnt meet senator johnsons approval. Thats fine. Thats one of the last details that needs to be worked out. I think want to see that worked out, and it will be worked out, that i think Everything Else sort of falls into place but i dont fault senator johnson. I think he feels very strongly about this. We will work through it. Martha this came in after the town hall that we did last night with speaker ryan. I got some replies that set i wanted to hear more about this or that and one of them came from a woman who is a senior citizen. She says everyone is forgetting to senior citizens. No medical deduction. I make about 65,000, 25 tax bracket, retired, no employer. We will lose. I pay taxes to get a small return. For a couple thousand, i dont have it. I cant work overtime. Help us. Help us. Take a look at this group, what you say to her . I think shes missing a big piece of the puzzle, which is not unusual. A lot of people continue to overlook the importance of doubling the standard deduction. Right now its 12,700. If she does have medical expenses beyond what medicare pays for her, maybe she itemizes today. The chances of her itemizing with a 24,000 standard deduction for her and her husband are probably very, very low. I think folks have really misunderstood the value of that. That is a key tool, a key part of how we are lowering taxes on so many ordinary americans like her. Martha i have to ask you one more question, where does the white house stand do you like the senate bill that it was a hospital better, and is the white house in favor of removing the obamacare individual mandate for this bill . Im not dodging the question, and being consistent with what we said from the beginning, both the house and the senate bill do what weve asked, which is ordinary americans will pay less and it will be simpler for them to pay, and the Corporate Tax comes down. Both bills do that so we support both of those things. When it comes to dealing with the Obamacare Repeal mandate, the individual mandate repeal, if it makes it more likely for the bill to pass with that provision in there, we are for. If it makes it less likely, by taking it out, we far for taking it out. Martha im about to talk to peter king and i want to say very briefly you could lose as many as 22 congressman over this issue of the salt tax, are you willing to do that . I hope not. I think the house figured out a way to work it through where they could pass it out of their chamber. At the senate will deal with it differently and they will go to conference. This is the way the tough log its made. It hasnt happened in a long time which is why so many folks are unfamiliar with it. These things get worked out. We will get tax are formed on. Martha its been a long time since americans have watched this in real time back and forth as legislation is put together. It director, thank you so much. Great to see her tonight thanks martha. Martha here now to respond respond, congressman king. Welcome, you listen to what he had to say, good to have you here tonight. Created some strong words, he says he liked to call work if with you, but you are not too happy about this. Im really not. On the personal side with Mick Mulvaney, talking to new york reporters and basically saying its new yorks problem, its new yorks own fault, that is not a good way to be a spokesman for the administration. That hurts all republicans were running for office, it makes it sound like the administration is antinew york. My district is a democratic district, President Trump carried it. Its going to be hard to keep caring district like that if they think the administration is giving up on new york. Thats part of why thats what i said. As far as the other argument, the fact is, he said of all things are equal all things are not equal. We give 48 billion more to the federal government then we get in return, and thus the largest deficit of any state in the country. New jersey actually, percentagewise, is even worse. They get 0. 61 back on every dollar. If everything was equal, fine. But everything is not equal. Right now you have states like new york and new jersey subsidizing the rest of the country and now they are taking away one of the few benefits that we had, thats the martha you make a good argument. Obviously these dates are huge contributors to the federal government and i think california says he is a no. At least ten republican senators who are no or less. Do you think it could go as high as 22 . I think it could, but all i can say looking at the body language on the way that the Republican Leadership is acting in the house, it appears they think they have the votes. I dont have the vote count, but the potential 2025. The house leadership must think they have enough votes to pass it. We will keep fighting right to the very end. We feel very, very strongly about this. Martha the next move would be when it goes to the conference. What is your hope for what might happen in conference to kind of throw something back, and will it if the individual mandate is removed, the obamacare individual mandate, if that happens in the conference when its all put together, will that give any wiggle worm to perhaps kick some of this money back . Because we know who people who live in these areas may look like they make a lot of money, but when they pay what they pay for their housing and transportation, everything in the states, it really does not make you a rich person to make a couple hundred thousand dollars a year. It doesnt. The Senate Knocks out salt altogether. The house has knocked out most of it, the senate has knocked out all of it. Doesnt leave much negotiating room in the conference. As far as the individual mandate, that will be interesting to follow. I dont know if we should be reforming health care at the same time we are doing a tax bill, putting it all together in one. It can have unintended consequences. Right now im not that helpful when it comes to salt in the state income and property tax deduction. Martha congressman peter king, thank you very much. Always good to talk to you, thanks for being here tonight. Coming up next, President Trump talks to president xi to free three College Basketball players who were held for shoplifting at Luxury Stores in china. The president wondered out loud on twitter if they would think him for saving them from a chinese prison. Well show you what happened next. General jack keane joins me on that, and what really happened on the asia trip, and how the u. S. Is now perceived in the world. My fellow citizens, america is back, and the future has never looked brighter. Where to go, and how to work around your uc. Thats how i thought it had to be. But then i talked to my doctor about humira, and learned humira can help get and keep uc under control. When certain medications havent worked well enough. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Raise your expectations and ask your gastroenterologist if humira may be right for you. With humira, control is possible. For the holidand every year, we get a giwe split it equally. Except for one of us. I write them a poem instead. And one for each of you too. Thats actually yours. That one. Yeah. Regardless, were stuck with the bill. To many, words are the most valuable currency. Last i checked, stores dont take words. Some do. Not everyone can be that poetic voice of a generation. I know right . Such a burden. The bank of america mobile banking app. The fast, secure and simple way to send money. You nervous . On a hotel just go to priceline. They add thousands of new deals every day at up to 60 off. Thats how kaley and i got to share this trip together at this amazing hotel. Yeah ash and i share everything dresses, makeup, water bottles. We do . Mmhmm. We share secrets, shoes, toothbrushes. What . Yeah i forgot mine so ive been using yours. Seriously . Whats the big deal . I mean, we even dated the same guy. Who . uh, go to priceline and get the hotel deals you wont find anywhere else. President trump in the United States government, thank you for taking the time to intervene on our behalf. We really appreciate you helping us out. I would also like to thank President Trump and the United States government for the help that they provided as well. Thank you to the United States government and President Trump for your efforts to bring us home. Martha thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Three ucla basketball players are safe, they are back in the United States. They could have faced ten years in a chinese prison. Thanks to President Trump, who intervened on their behalf after they were caught shoplifting at gucci and Louis Vuitton at the mall that was near the hotel, which is not a good idea. Today the white house and the president made clear he didnt actually talk about the basketball players in the appearance he made this afternoon, but he made clear after the trip, the asia trip, that he believes that the u. S. Is very much back on the world stage and making a real difference. In asia, our message was clear and well received. America is here to compete, to do business, and to defend our values and our security. I spoke the truth about the evil crimes of the north korean regime, and i made clear that we will not allow this twisted dictatorship to hold the world hostage to nuclear blackmail. Martha with all that is a black truck, general jack keane, military analyst and chairman for the institute of the study of war. In general, the ballplayers, obviously, dumb move. They are lucky, right . Absolutely. Boneheaded, clueless move. When we used to take our troops all over the world when we were much smaller and it was mostly peaceful engagement, the last thing we would always tell them is we are representing the people of the United States of america, so i will let you go out, enjoy yourself, just remember who you are and what your standards are. If their parents have got to be humiliated, their friends, certainly the university is, their teammates are. Martha and they are lucky, right . What happened to Otto Warmbier for taking a sign in north korea. North korea is not china. They have very different values than what we have. Martha absolutely. I want to talk about what the president said today. He said the United States is back, the future has never been brighter for america on the world stage, agree . I totally agree. This trip is largely successful just for this reason. The words may not appreciate how much our allies have lost respect for us in terms of our reliability through the years of disengagement that president obama did. President trump did much the same thing in europe and the middle east, reassuring our allies that the United States and its leadership role in the global stage is going to partner with our allies and defend their National Interests as well as our National Interests. That message is really reverberating loud and clear, and we just saw it again here in the far east. Its the major part of the visit, certainly the second part of that visit is clearly the issue with north korea. But the major part of the visit is the reassurance to our allies that the United States will continue to exercise once again a global leadership. Martha the word is that the chinese are sending an envoy to north korea. I believe they claimed there was no connection to the meeting they just had with President Trump, but helped significant is that . I think it significant. It would have been wonderful the president was able to say that in discussions with president xi, he has assured me he is going to do more and hes going to do it sooner based on what director pompei has told the American People, we may be months away from Nuclear Icbms as opposed to years away from that. But he didnt say that, it doesnt mean that we dont have xis assurance. He made a point of the fact that his policy, trumps policy and xis policy are one and the same. I do think this is a step in that direction. Martha just about 20 seconds. With ice is largely out of syria, iran is filling that vacuum, big concern . Big concern. We just dont have a decent strategy to push back on iran and syria and unfortunately if we dont do something soon, iran will own syria and have a land bridge coming out of iran through iraq to lebanon. They will encroach on israel and encroach on jordan, not good. Martha the president has a lot on his plate, thank you very much, good to see you as always. Up next, remember this . I would say that everybody should be believed at first until they are disbelieved based on evidence. Martha now in the wake of roy moore, some are questioning how some on the left handled the allegations against bill clinton way back when.

It is clearly not a rightleft issue, and that apparently is sinking in with some who defended bill clinton more now doing some soulsearching. Clinton was famously accused of numerous crimes, most notably and horrifically the alleged 1978 rape of juanita broaddrick. For years, many dismissed her story and the stories of the other accusers, but this week the tide began to change. Michelle goldberg wrote a New York Times oped titled i believe juanita, which prompted this from juanita broaddrick. Hell has definitely frozen over. Jessica tarlov joins us once again. Good to have you back. You look at this, chris hayes said this, chris hayes from msnbc, gross and cynical and hypocritical as the rights what about quentin stuff is, its also clear that democrats and a Center Center left are overdue for a real reckoning with the allegations against him, meaning bill clinton. Absolutely, also a piece to this effect, and if you are on twitter is much as i am you have seen that this is rampant and there are many who are in the clinton camp are also discussing it. I believe this was actually a crucial issue for Hillary Clinton during the election. Its something that certainly has dr. Throughout her career. If someone is going to stab there and say victims have the right to be believed, that the end of the sentence and you return to the fact that there were a number of women who accused her own husband of this and i think its unfortunate and complicated, but this is a good time, as you said in the opening, because its no longer a rightleft issue, maybe we can have a productive adult conversation. Martha one of the pieces i talked about talked about machine feminism, liberal feminists stuck by bill clinton in the most fierce way and i think about the interview with Hillary Clinton and her saying im not someone just standing by my man. All of that, it sort of comes back to obviously there is just so much of it everywhere and i think it is making people look at it very differently. Absolutely. Im not married, i dont know what its like to have my husband let alone my husband who was the president of the United States of america be accused of things like that. I think its incredibly complicated. We have discussed before when a difficult position hillary has been in that she is kind of hated if she does, hated if she doesnt. If she had walked out of the white house onset first lady out, i want to accept, the country would have been in opera. She state and people are in uproar about that. What i do think is important is that we have these conversations and there are comments that there have been mistakes, and i think to some degree she has kind of owned the improper language that was used. I dont know what that feels like to have that happen to me, but at the end of the day these were bill clintons actions. She has not been accused of sexual assault. Martha now President Trump marched out these women and they were at the debate. Can you even imagine sitting there. Martha he had his own accusations of access hollywood. Which hes not dealing with at all. Martha all of that is out there and people are looking at it. Thank you very much. Good to see once again, jessica. Also tonight, a group of House Democrats have introduced five articles of impeachment against President Trump, which includes an obstruction of justice for the decision to fire at james comey. It jonathan Washington University law professor with our history tonight on whether or not they have a shot at this and what history tells us about it. Thank you very much. They have no shot at this at the moment because they dont have any evidence to support it. Some of these counts are clearly outside of the definition of an impeachable offense. They are seeking to impeach the president for undermining the courts and the press. Those counts are ridiculously overbroad. They could have been used to impeach half the president s of the United States. After all, president obama, his administration actually investigated a leading journalist from this network in an appalling violation of both tradition, and in my view, good decisionmaking. So this idea that you can impeach someone for these types of ambiguous charges is a dangerous precedent to set up. Martha as you point out, the constitution and the framers really did not want it to be easy at all to remove a president. You cant remove a president just because you dont like the way he talks of the way he tweets, or any of the above. You give the example of andrew johnson, who he described as a thoroughly obnoxious president. Thats right. Johnson should never have been impeached, he was saved by a person of great courage and principles who cast the deciding vote. He and a couple of other members paid with their careers. He said he looked into his political grave and jumped. But thats the difference between people of that character and some people today. It was once said that politicians look to the next election and statesmen look to the next generation. These counts are written by politicians. Martha in terms of the ongoing investigations, and i know that youve said many times that you dont believe that there is any evidence so far that the white house colluded. I think it said that you believe theres more evidence that the Clinton Campaign colluded, correct . I think that you cant say that you want to investigate any russian connections with the trauma campaign, totally dismissed the allegations against clinton. I think there is not strong evidence on either side to establish a crime, but i think that the American People are not demanding necessarily indictments, they are demanding some type of information, some answers as to the influence over their politics. And i think its undeniable. But these impeachment counts are part of this new Political Campaign and mantra to impeach donald trump, and its a dangerous precedent to set. When you say that this is going to be the standard by which you are to judge members, if they are willing to toss all of the constitutional language and traditions aside to get at a that you despise without any thought of how the implications of that for future generations. Martha Jonathan Turley, always good and educational to speak to you, thank you very much for being here. Good to see you. Coming up, and Los Angeles Times writer wrote a piece for the l. A.

Martha today i published an editorial responding to a david horsey piece in the Los Angeles Times. It was provoked by his disparaging comments about fox news anchors, including labeling us blonde barbie dolls. I took issue with that, not surprisingly, and felt the need to respond. Heres part of what i wrote. He has no idea what it is like to be part of this network. We work hard, we get our stories right, and we are proud of what we do in the success that we have achieved. We are experienced journalists and reporters. Most of us has been added for a long time. Between us, we have worked at all the networks and most of the prominent newspapers. We are proud and that our lineup is stocked with not blonde barbie dolls, but some of the sharpest, brightest women in the business. Our success is not about haircolor or skirt, it is about elbow grease, dedication, and sacrificing time with our family and friends. We are fine with that. It goes with the territory. We live in scary times, though, as evidenced by his comment. A society where divisiveness leads to crassness that seems to feel it is justified by political bent. Is that really we want to be . Is that what our nation was built on . Is there a level of respect we could consider the starting point for debate or judgment . Lets hope so. And lets hope with all thats going on in this country with regard to sexism and harassment that we can move to that place of mutual respect. You can read my full piece on facebook or twitter.
