Robbie mook calling on the fbi to give donald trump the same treatment it gave to Hillary Clinton. All that were asking, so that reporting can be fair, is that the information get released. Release whatever information they have, and then if youre in the business of releasing information about investigations on president ial candidates, release everything you have on donald trump. Release the information on his connections to the russians. Maybe there are investigations now into his taxes. Trumps taxes may not have been legal. Reports of the Maneuver Trump used conferred enormous tax benefits on him losing vast amounts of other peoples money by exploiting a loophole. Today clinton sought to remind voters of trumps treatment of women. She appeared with Alicia Machado who trump shamed over two decades ago. Even instructing his twitter

department of justice policy not to do something that appears to influence an election in one way or the other, to tip your scales or put your fingers on the scales for one side or the other. that s why we don t charge elected official os on a local level before an election cycle. again, it is tough to charge a president. we don t know actually too if he may have declassified the documents. i think the latest reporting is we don t know whether or not as he left the white house. we know they found the boxes there at mar-a-lago. the timing is different, the comey announcement was within a couple of weeks of the election. this is more than two and a half years out. i want to talk about the january 6th committee investigation here. this gets beyond january 6th to the broad efforts to overturn the election. peter navarro, latest target of a subpoena. this is what he said publicly about efforts post november 3rd and i want to get your reaction here. have a listen. the plan was simply thi
president of the united states. nobody is above the law. number two if we learn one thing from the whole comey announcement of the investigation into hillary clinton, the investigation was over, the investigation was back. the department of justice and the fbi cannot factor in the timing of elections in how and when they make certain moves. my hope is that muller is allowed to continue unimpeded, and that his version of not affecting the election, but getting the truth out there in a competent way. the tradition inside the justice department, the guidelines, this is not written law is they try to avoid doing things that influence politics before an election. there is no set time table there, but that is the tradition. is that the tradition that should be followed? it is case specific. the president of the united states is not on the ballot in

announcement or the comey testimony was going to happen. look, my view and my recommendation for this white house get back on offense. get off the fence on a lot of these topics. push pro growth tax reform, push what you re doing to help create a health care system that is affordable and provides quality health care for all. did it do that? absolutely. without endearing itself to leaders on the hill who can say, okay, we feel good about your proposal or we feel good about getting behind your idea? absolutely. here s the thing, not only did president trump get elected based on promising changes on health care and creating jobs and in terms of immigration and securing the border, members republican members of congress did the same. they want to be true to their constituents as well and work on these issues and deliver the promises that they made to their constituents. it s in everyone s best interest to get off of the russia and these other distractions, get back on the repub
