welcome back to this special edition of hannity. the view s joy behar is back. she is proposing sending oren hatch of utah to jail. i have this clap of oren hatch. what he said to the reporter, the president, michael cohen they might have committed crimes. the president is doing a good job. we have a senator from utah is saying i don t care if he committed a crime. he has nothing to lose speaking truth to power about trump. i think favors have been done. it s complicated. but he also won a that is all the time we have
but beyond that, though, beyond the democrats, it isn t clear that the president has much to fear from congress because even with the mounting evidence that the president would likely face indictments, even with the mounting evidence that trump associates had contacts with russians during the campaign or transition, even with the looming mueller report which could reveal more, republicans, especially in the senate, are giving a collective shrug about all of this. they are not saying they care very much. senator oren hatch said so much. all i can say is he s doing a good job as president. so those are the current senators. 44 former senators, including 10 republicans, are sounding the alarm in a washington post op-ed and warned we are entering a dangerous period and urging current senators to put the country ahead of partisanship. a russian spy set to change
but in the meantime, the big announcement that was, you know, not made verbally from robert mueller but was in the sentencing memo. was that michael cohen says he was directed by donald trump to commit the campaign finance laws, jeffrey, of the hush money to the two women who say they had affairs with donald trump. oren hatch was asked about this revelation, north oren hatch. here is his response. i don t think he was involved in crimes. but even then, you know, you can make anything a crime under the current laws if you want to. you can blow it way out of proportion. you can do a lot of things. can you make anything a crime, jeffrey toobin? oren hatch saying, i don t really see anything there. he is on his way out of the senate has become the most loyal

that justice works is that you have to recognize harm. you have to take responsibility for it and then begin to repair it. someone who sits in the supreme court has to be able to do that in his or her own personal life. that s essential to their ability to do that in that role as a member of the supreme court. i don t think brett kavanaugh has stepped up to the challenge, not in his personal life and not to the country. so i m not convinced by his op ed and he s missing the point. there was a lot of talk about his reaction in that moment in the elevator. but it is not the only reaction that is getting attention on capitol hill there because more and more people, more and more americans are voicing their opinion to their elected officials. here is an exchange with oren hatch i want to play for you. why aren t you brave enough to talk to us? don t you waive your hand at me.
