investigations into the current president s family. ted lieu, democrat of california, set to orient facts as they exist on earth one. watch. let me ask you a series of basic questions to get facts out to the american people about our system of justice. trump adviser roger stone was convicted in a federal court, correct? that s my recollection. trump donor elliott brady was convicted in a federal court. correct? also my recollection. the attorney general at the time for those two convictions was bill barr, which president nominated bill barr for attorney general? president trump. you were the fbi director for all of those cases at the time. which president nominated you? president trump. okay. what these facts show is we don t have a two-tiered system of justice. we have one department of justice that goes after criminals regardless of party idealogy. all of these folks were convicted under the administrations of three separate republican attorneys general. i

fraught and incredibly complicated set of lawsuits. punitive damages are something that we know they are going to go after. and presumably, they are going to lean in significantly to the fact that there is abundant evidence that he shows no signs of stopping, and try to get that punitive number high enough that it will sting, and that it will stave off that kind of repeat of the lie in the future. there is also some chance that they might ultimately seek an order going forward from the court. right now all of the things that they re seeking are backward damages. you harmed me and you owe me for it. they could ultimately seek an injunction, and order that says the court orders you, trump, not to speak of this. but that s fraught with a series of first amendment concerns, and i doubt that they wish to do so. so what we ll see here is probably this trial and the damages in this trial really doing a lot of the heavy lift. it s just fascinating.
serious, first-amendment concerns. if you want to run an investigation into a church. if you want to run an investigation into a news outlet. if you want to run an investigation against an elected official. you, usually, have to get special clearance. and so, we would be looking for the description of how that clearance was obtained. whether this was done as a national-security matter, within the national-security division. or a criminal matter. there is a lot that has not, yet, been answered. and one really big question, in all of this, is the role of the fbi. ordinarily, these matters go through the fbi. and an fbi agent is directly involved in this. and so, director wray, i think, has some questions to answer, just as much as barr and rosenstein does. let s imagine, for a second, that this information became public the day before merrick garland s confirmation hearing. what question would you have asked him about this? well, i d have asked him a question very like the questions
associated press records. so let me get your reaction to that as well. well, also, very serious, this invokes first amendment concerns. as does the situation related to the irs. but admittedly it s hard to follow all these either scandals or screwups, however we ultimately characterize them, between irs, the associated press, health and human services applying seemingly pressure to insurance companies to give to progressive groups that will help implement the exchanges. we re dealing with a lot here. benghazi. but, listen, this is also something we need to look into. it s being looked into. probably nowhere more fiercefully than among our washington, d.c. press corps. congressman todd young, thank you so much. we appreciate it. thanks for having me. let me play to that point of what happened with the a.p. a clip from executive editor kathleen carol this morning. it s clearly distressing to
