yesterday we had a congressman on and he said they are actually considering a civil lawsuit. and the thing about a civil suit that we will file in federal court in d.c. and demand that they produce a log of all the documents they re claiming are privileged, as a judge i reviewed things like that in camera and you determine what is privileged and what isn t, and there may not be anything privileged horror, but now they re going to end up having to produce the log that they say a privileged. mike: so a judge may go back to 1997 and maybe have some precedence here. check this out relate today 1997 during the clinton administration, the privilege disappears for a president altogether when there s any reasonable to believe government misconduct occurred. and i mean, obviously, this is complicated on both sides. republicans and for democrats. republicans don t want to push too hard for executive privilege documents to have to be turned over and revealed because then if there s a republ
altogether when there s any reason to believe government misconduct occurred. clayton: so that s the gray area. and actually it s going to be interesting because we are going to talk to chris wallace, host of fox news sunday, coming up later in the show, he had darrell issa on his show this morning and we have a preview of what darrell issa is hoping to accomplish because this week we could see this, as congressional republicans move toward this contempt of congress case against eric holder and maybe as vote as early as wednesday. alisyn: we ve given you the wonky details of executive privilege and now the human story of course brian terry s family, the border agent murdered and brian terry s family naturally wants justice. they want answers like all families who lose a loved one. yesterday, we had on the head of the border security union, george mcruben to talk about why he is calling for eric holder to resign. there s somebody responsible, they need to be

i believe that after judge ellis remarks last night, yesterday, rather, on friday, there s no question that the amount of government misconduct is accumulating. i happen to believe it s greater than anybody realizes. very embarrassing to my former justice department. erin brought it up, but betsy, the reaction has been what to giuliani essentially echoing the president s criticism of the justice department as well as the fbi? well, let s remember giuliani actually went further than the president has gone. he suggested rosenstein needs to close down the mueller probe. that s pretty extraordinary. giuliani made the same assertion on judge janine s show on fox news last night, saying he thinks it s time for the special counsel s investigation to be shut down. that in and of itself is probably not getting as much play as it warrants. that s an extraordinary thing for an attorney to say. it s also extraordinary for giuliani to say he s seen embarrassing and mounting evidence of miscond
