president s attorney waiving privilege on that secretly regarded conversation between trump and cohen. it s a conversation that did occur, you know, just two months before the election, raising questions about possible campaign violations. so as a lawyer what do you make of the decision to waive this attorney/client privilege? well, first, i have to say, with anything we re hearing out of the trump organization from giuliani, we re not sure if it s true. exactly what went on. so let s assume for a moment they did waive privilege. i m not sure why they would. if the privilege attached, then the prosecutors could not see it. it is possible privilege did not attach. if this was a discussion of a furtherance of a crime or a fraud, then the privilege would not attach. so, you know, they say they waived privilege. maybe they thought they were on shaky ground. but eye not sure why they would waive privilege. this does not show, what we ve heard about it from giuliani, does not necessarily s
praising hope hicks following her resignation as white house communications director. david bossie is a fox news contributor and knows her very well. i wonder what your thoughts are this morning as everybody wonders what s happening inside the white house. first of all, hope hicks say dear friend of mine. she say wonderfully warm, incredibly thoughtful person. a true professional at her job and somebody the president of the united states counts on and has counted on every minute of every day for the last several years. she is instrumental to really putting forth his agenda during the campaign. and now in this white house. she say steady set of hands and just a wonderful, wonderful person. i count myself as the president of her fan club. i can t speak highly enough of her. she is somebody who is going to
investigation goes. gentlemen, thank you. go to see you. bill: republicans are all over this issue. did the government spy on the trump team. what did hope hicks say during nine hours of testimony yesterday? pete king is here live in a moment. he was in the room. plus this. there is a lot of talk about where this election is going and where history has proved. at the end of the day we ll keep the majority. sandra: congress has half an eye on mid-terms. can republicans keep their majority? house majority leader kevin mccarthy with a prediction next.
the big question is what will hope hicks say? former white house aide to presidents clinton and obama and msnbc con tribor george will also a contributor. good to see you both. ron, you ve been on these committees as general counsel. you ve seen the operation. this house committee destroyedity credibility, frankly, by deinvolving into partisan politics. in a way that intelligence committee never had before. how useful is this session? likely not useful at all. we know officials have gone to the committee, stonewalled, refused to answer questioned about the times before trump was before. don junior claimed attorney/client privilege when he was neither an attorney or a client.
he insisted that they do it. and it immediately fell apart. you know what i m watching here, ken and malcolm, a guy who obviously came to washington with street smarts like trump does. he thought he didn t need washington expertise. the kind of mistakes he made here, ken, you both understand this, you bring in the smart washington lawyers. they know how to protect you from make making stupid mistakes and help you avoid getting into trouble. he was so arrogant, he said i ll listen to hope hicks. she ll help me out here. i ll get out there on a ledge defending carter page. give me a break. a smart lawyer in this town would have warned from day one, don t kill yourself over this crap. thank you ken, thank you malcolm nance. this thing is getting hot err every day. time for a role reversal. this is speculative. whatful hillary clinton were president right now and trying to get away with the sort of things this crowd has done? this is pure imagination. think about how the other side,
