requests made by ranking member schiff and the other democrats like myself and work in the bipartisan fashion to get to the bottom of this. we should take politics out of this. we should take partisanship out of this investigatory process and work together. republicans should not issue roadblocks every time we make a request. it s been happening. you feel like that s happening, roadblocks? continuous. do you feel they re trying tend to the investigation? in many ways, absolutely. do you? i think that the republicans who serve on the committee serve honorably, but unfortunately they re taking huge from leadership. we want them to be bold. it s an election year and now more than ever we need them to be bold. congressman, thank you for being with us in this late hour. still ahead, will the bannon betrayal in that new book cause any lasting damage for the president? and the first lady s trail of tears. we ll be right back. that ruined the hardwood floors in their kitchen.
trump jr. and he s going to actually make statements, or is he going to listen to a lawyer and plead the fifth? now, of course, pleading the fifth doesn t mean that you re guilty of anything, but it certainly will slow the investigatory process. so you know, there s a lot of information that i m sure that democrats on the intelligence committee will certainly be wanting from him. but you know, if he talks, it ought to be fascinating. so, tuesday, if you re that fly on the wall, what would you be listening for here, malcolm? well, you know, there were several allegations that were made in the steal dossier, which is not validated intelligence or information, but michael cohen took part in some other interesting activities, one of which was that he had supposedly drafted a document which was oriented to lifting all of the sanctions against russia. and they re going to want to know, what was the impetus for that? did you just think this up on your own? did you think it was good for
it was not intentional. but i asked the question inartfully of jeh johnson. when he answered the way he did, it very easily could have been going to the third part of that tranche, which there has been public reporting on as opposed to the first two. i would say blame me for a bad question, and jeh johnson for a vague answer. but the bottom line is, you re not taking a definitive one way or the other, because it was too broad? i can t we are so early on in the investigatory process. we have interviewed less than a tenth of the witnesses that we re going to want to end up interviewing. i hope nobody was drawing any conclusions from anything. that s what you do at the end of the investigation, not in the front of it. chairman dpoudy, i appreciate your time. thank you. yes, ma am. thank you. up-front next, no tapes, no problems, for jeanne moos.
rosenstein, going as far as he could to exonerate the president, to say all these leaks are wrong and so forth and so on, and rosenstein wrote something which didn t satisfy the white house but tried to get them off his back. i think he must be under a lot of pressure from various parts of the white house. but let me go back to one other point. you know, the president in using these tweets to go after the special counsel to go after the whole investigatory process, is only adding to a growing body of evidence that he is trying to tamper with the investigation, he is trying to influence the investigation. and just as he saw in the issue of the travel ban, his tweets were used by the courts to say he has an intent that makes this unconstitutional, which happened in a couple of circuits now. and the more he plays this game of attacking, attacking, attacking, the more it will add to the weight of this amounts to obstruction of what he s trying to do. he ought to be staying away from this.
