i think what the fbi did and what the department of justice did including meeting with her husband the attorney general in the back of an airplane on the tarmac in arizona, i think it s disgraceful. it s a disgrace. it could be perceived as unethical for any powerful person to have conversations with a top law enforcement firm about an investigation. as president trump just admitted he did with fbi director comey in person and then twice on the phone. i had a dinner with him, he wanted to have dinner because he wanted to stay on. we had a very nice dinner. i said if it s possible, would you let me know am i under investigation. he said you are not under investigation. let s dive right in with my panel. matt, i m coming to you first. is it different what bill clinton is accused of doing, we don t actually know what they talked about, but let s assume the worst, and what president
about l aboutly fine. and it doesn t matter. i bet he could sit you down and have a good conversation about why it s perfectly above board. i think it s clear that there is a reason why no one wants to say in a public setting whether donald trump is being investigated or not. even if donald trump was not the actual subject, but his associates are, that is analogous to big bill clinton who is not hillary clinton, who not himself under investigation. but if bill clinton did talk to loretta lynch about his wife, it s a very similar situation. i think it s different for sw l
expe expert. are there national security concerns about letting russians with camera equipment in to the oval office? there is. former deputy director of the cia tweeted about this and i said do you stand by this, are you saying there is a engine win na genuine security risk here. and he said they went through medal wen gee deck tors. they did. but a small enough device could be snuck in. and if you think it sounds out there, there are a lot of stories out there you can once russia had russian schoolchildren can give the u.s. ambassador to russia a wooden plaque which turns out it had a listening device inside it. so this is not stolen out of a novel. this is the kind of stuff that has happened between these adversaries overtime. interesting. jim sciutto, thank you so much. when loretta lynch met with bill clinton on that plane in arizona on the tarmac while hillary clinton s e-mail servers were still under are investigation, there was backlash and there was
she s not actually in office. so it gives her leeway to split with him on certain discrete issues, but if she does too much, then it gives the media an opening to rub those wounds raw. so i think they re going to be very careful. i think they re going to coordinate, give the white house a heads-up when she takes a position that is a little different than the president. you re smart. larry, you re into something here. i think the hillary clinton and the bill clinton amazing ability is to have these fantastic academic backgrounds. the credentials are amazing. yale law school, you can t beat that, harvard and wellesley and georgetown, and yet not seem too la-di-da, not seem too uppity. you can appeal to the person working in the dinette, the guy working in the garage, the average american out there who has to make a buck. do you think that is still there for the clintons? they haven t lost that? i think that s a big piece of it. and chris, the other big part of the dynamic for me is y
send their sons and daughters. okay we have to go. to places like afghanistan. thank you. honestly, chris, we can t afford not to. i hear you. chris koontz from delaware. coming up, six months since the massacre at sandy hook, the victims families are here in washington, d.c., pushing again for background checks legislation. good for them. the families are making it clear they re not going anywhere. that s going to take congress to get something done here to pass something like what 90% of the american people want to see, background checks. also, does president obama want hillary clinton to run for president? i think that s an interesting question. if she wins the third term, will that be good for him? will that carry on his legacy or bill clinton s or both? plus, republicans just can t stop talking about rape. what is this with these guys? the latest culprit is congressman trent franks of texas. isn t it time for them to learn this when it comes to talking about rape, jus
