conversation with him about pardoning him. i m very concerned about that. there was a quid pro quo that was discussed, and if so that is clearly obstruction of justice and tampering with a witness. but how do you know unless you get testimony from the witness. exactly. let s see if we can keep pushing and get mueller s report public. your committee got some leaked information, these are papers you asked from the white house. that is somebody leaking it from the white house. i will certainly defer to elisha cummings about the timing on that, but we should all be
hope soon with director comey. the role is very responsible, he ll make the decision about whether people should be prosecuted. but he may not be able to say and inform the public much about what he learns. that s our job in congress to share as much as we can without compromising our investigation in a way to bring the public along in what we re doing. your democrat colleague, elisha cummings of maryland, the ranking member of the house he wrote a letter saying that general flynn gave false statements to pentagon investigators about foreign work. what can you say about that? if it s accurate that general flynn reported on money he received from the speaker s bureau and didn t disclose the money really came from rt, the russian entity, this program began dah arm from the kremlin that would be a real problem.
if that s what mr. cummings is referring to it is a very serious issue. and then of course, you have other issues involving whether or not michael flynn made false statements to authorities during the course of the investigation, as well as whether he could accept the money in the first place. there are a lot of legal issues, i think there are going to be a lot of decisions for bob mueller ultimately to make. but congress in its oversight role need to fully get to the bottom of this as well. i want you to listen to this comment congressman, made by john brennan during his testimony today. listen to this. frequently individuals that go along that path do not realize they re along the path until it gets to be too late. and that s why again, my radar goes up early when i see certain things that i know what the russians are trying to do and i don t know what the target of their efforts are as mindful of
i cannot imagine that happening, the fbi director does not tape conversations with the president or members of the hill. if there are conversations of trump and comey at the white house there is significant pressure on trump and his team to produce them. this letter we obtained from top house democrats elisha cummings and john is calling on the white house to produce, hanover any recordings, communications, e-mails between trump and comey in this matter. so far no comment on this letter from the white house. anna. brian todd in washington thank you. let s bring in paul call len joining us. paul, one member of the democrats said the firing of james comey and the warning president tweeted afterwards added to an obstruction of justice rgs is that how you see it? no i don t think the congressman is wrong on that. it could be a first step in the
remember, when gleeman happened in september 2008, took 94 years to get the balance sheet to 900 billion. today it s 3.5 trillion amount. bernanke has been flooding the system with money stop, okay. no, no, what i m saying, it s caused massive inflation of financial assets, distortions chasing for yield everywhere into risky asset markets around the world and real estate, junk bonds, you name it. none of this was sustainable. i think that time is up, exactly. it s now, now is the it s inevitable that this massive bubble that s been inflated for five years of panic, monetary expansion and money printing will unwind, and it s going to take everything down with it over a period of time. this is all your fault. you come on the program and say everything is going down. there s another element in the news today, china. right. stuart: the banks are shaky and thh central bank says we re not going to print a ton of money to bail you out, what do you make of that? the
