resolution? if they do, what senator graham has put on the table is something that would be amenable to republicans. at least i m told at this point. the big question, though, anderson is given the stakes here, given the fact the democrats have made very clear that they want to fight on this issue, given the fact the democrats don t trust the white house or republicans on any type of longer term agreement on daca right now, is that enough? right now democrats are telling me they re very skeptical, but, anderson, it is something on the table. it is some type of movement, something we ve waited all day for. the big question is will it even matter now that we re under an hour until that procedural vote? thanks very much. whatever else happens we are still expecting a vote tonight. to expand on what doug brinkley said before the break, this item is not included in a deal. this should be a bipartisan bill. this should be a bill of love. truly it should be a bill of love. you think bac
have been on this issue in large part over the course of the last 24 hours. they ve made very clear they have significant problems with how the republicans have drafted this short-term bill. she have significant problems and significant deficits of trust in terms of how republicans will deal with the daca resolution if there is one even on the table at all. does that mean they will eventually vote no against a short-term funding bill? up to this point, it has looked like, yes, throughout this day, anderson, even when democratic leader chuck schumer went over to the white house, it looked very much like senate democrats would stay unified and a shutdown was almost certainly going to happen. here s what s shifted over the last 30 to 45 minutes. there have been a handful of democrats, some of whom have said they re welling to vote yes with republicans on this vote would have been openly asking their members to reconsider, maybe consider other options, maybe a shorter term c.r. would be an
discussed throughout this night, anderson, raised a litany of concerns about the process, about the daca issue, about the trust issues they have with the white house. the idea that they would back off where they ve currently walked themselves into at this point because of a one-week reduction in the c.r., right now i m told from democratic sources, people are skeptical. here s the issue. republicans doengt need all 49 democrats here. they need what i m told, about 12 or 13 at this point. they already have a handful. we tked about them earlier. those red state democrats, already three our four are out publicly saying they would be yes on the four-week c.r. the assumption is they would all be there on a three-week c.r. as well. you add a few more who haven t necessarily decided publicly yet and you start getting into the territory. the big question right now, and we just a short while ago, chuck schumer walked out of that democratic meeting that you were talking about. the meeting is sti
this is rod rosenstein he sent the letter to the memo to attorney general jeff sessions who by the way announced efts going to rekeyes him from the russia investigation or anything to do with hillary clinton as well. as you and i discussed he says i cannot defend the director handling fortunate conclusion fortunate investigation of secretary clinton s emails the director was wrong to ewe turp the authority on july 25th 2016 and announced his conclusions that the case shb christed without prosecution what do you say to that karen. what i say is that certainly was not the position of donald j. trump during the campaign and when this initially happened. he was praising comey. if he had real concerns about his behavior i guess the question i would ask the president so therefore do you agree that it was inappropriate for director comey to send that letter to congress 11 days before the election? i mean he certainly had no problem with that. let me point out one other thing, don. i love
decision. tonight by the president. what did you say about that? i don t understand the timing. i mean you just mentioned this meeting with laugh hoff tomorrow. it s sort of it s at least a political era if he is completely innocent. do you believe he will come to regret in decision. i think politicly yes he has relit the russia fire. again if he is completely innocent he is just gotten all the suspicion going. energized the democrats it s an unforced political error. listen the new thing we got now he is meeting with lavrov what do you think the foreign minister. they could wait, roll it out given comey notice. he is meeting tomorrow with the russian foreign minister. democrats don t trust donald trump maybe that s gnat fair to him but this is going to energize democrats raise suspicions. this is a huge issue there was a comment earlier about the leaks. process there was a story
