i can t say right now. i can just say that what i saw, we saw a lot of witnesses c in whof information to tell and when we asked the republicans to subpoena them and have them provide us with documents that are rele, at every single request we were turned down. let s turn to north korea. you re on the intelligence committ committee. the president tweeted this morning, theres no longer a nuclear threat from north korea. when you saw that, is that credible? no. north korea s nuclear capabilities are the same today as they were last week. nothing has changed. i hope it changes. i hope this summit produces denuclearization. but i also hope that it is not united states giving up our security presence in the region and getting nothing in return. north korea has a long record of iving u.s. officials when it comes to denuclearizing.
more about this too. from my observation of mr. rosenstein on the judiciary and intelligence committee, he has conducted himself in an honorable and has been a person of integrity. what i have seen from devin nunes and many people on his team is they have sought to obstruct, they ve put out bogus claims about the investigation and they are trying to reach very deeply into the fbi evidence locker so they can turn over evidence to subjects in this investigation. we don t do that. we have oversight of what the fbi and doj do, but we don t get involved in ongoing investigations. all i can say is i think mr. rosenstein has to start saying no to mr. nunes. once he continues to let many nunes reach into the evidence locker, we re going to start to see the investigation compromised. do you know which staffers he wanted investigates? i do. i know what s been reported. i have seen a lot of troubling things on the committee, but i can t say more than that. do you believe a special investiga
department. he goes and tells the fbi, and he tells the intelligence committ committee, what a whistleblower is supposed to do. i don t think he s trying to deliver this to the campaign, i don t see the evidence of that. it seems that he was trying to alert the fbi and state department that these emails were out there, and that they should potentially come and get them. yeah. and no matter what the motive is, again, those are the correct steps that one is supposed to take. listen to former adviser dismissing the role in the campaignment take a listen. the guy was coffee boy. you might have called him a foreign policy analyst, but in fact if he was going to wear a wire, auld all we d know is if preferred a carmel maccaiato ovr
republicans to end senate the senate russia inquiry, and that is, again, according to the new york times. but in this statement that i read, they directly pushing back on this? did you see that as a direct pushback? well, yeah, i think so. to david s point, i think the republicans and anybody on the committee sees this as a much broader mandate. and the problem is that the more they re learning, the deeper the problem gets. and the wider the range of the scope of the problem is when you look at the impact, not just on what they may have done this election, but in any election, maybe not just here, but elsewhere. so i think what s happening is that the committee is not they may not be tying things up. in fact, the net may be expanding wexpand ing as we get more information about facebook skpefrleverythin. it s hard to be governoring the president of the united states under any circumstances, much less an inquiry hanging over your head.
pompeo, admiral rogers, the head of the nsa, all the way to james comey, trump has had a lot of inappropriate contact and then pushback to those. the excuse that he s new to this and doesn t understand how immensely inappropriate this stuff is, it doesn t hold up and it does start to corroborate the notion that, hey, this isn t just a political neophyte, you know, who doesn t understand this isn t the way you go about things, but instead there is some kind of obstructive intent about what he s doing. do you read anything into his response, john, that the white house has been cooperative with the senate intelligence committ committee s inquiry and the president has at no point has attempted to apply undue influence on committee members. he has reiterated what he has long said publicly, there is no evidence of collusion and these investigations must come to a fair and appropriate completion. i m reading it off my phone here. he may be the only one in
