impeachment inquiry and at the moment no development yet from getting bob mueller s testimony and i asked jerry nadler about the idea of mueller testifying in private as a special counsel team has proposed and he said i want them want him to testify in public so that is an area still up for debate and a question about when, and if, the testimony will occur. interesting that is what is the breaking point for gallego. manu raju, thank you very much for chasing down all of those voices on capitol hill. we appreciate it. meantime an american couple on vacation in fiji dies from a mysterious illness and now the cdc is involved. we have details on that. and prosecutors want the former campaign chairman, one of the most notorious jails, and what paul manafort s life would be like on rikers island.
strategy to discredit mueller and try to paint him as a democrat as the president like to say. this has been the republican strategy from jump street. it didn t take the president very long to start tweeting about mueller being horribly conflicted and 17 angry democrats. that entire message. what s interesting when it comes to this question of mueller testifying and why this particular reporting is so important, is that if chairman nadler, the house judiciary committee issues a subpoena to order mueller to come in, mueller is going to go to bill barr who even though he doesn t work at doj bill barr is still over him in terms of rank and bill barr says mueller is allowed to testify if he wants to. if bill barr tells mueller i ve changed my mind, you don t want to comply with the subpoena. if they put together some sort of legal analysis and they ve had some creative legal analy s analysis. then we could have an interesting legal back and forth teed up and that s why having
comes into play, it s so obvious because if it mattered to the democrats, getting to the truth or the bottom of everything, they would make a greater deal about mueller testifying. and if they cared about juan: they re making a big deal about mueller. emily: no. it s about mcgahn now. juan: they want mueller to testify. muler is the one that is holding back. i think trump is saying he doesn t want mcgahn to testify. this is about refusal to acknowledge the requirement of congressional oversight. dana: the democrats are going back to the white house to talk about infrastructure. that will be fun. jesse: i think mcgahn testified for 30 hours to mueller? juan: yeah jesse: up next, hollywood rages against president trump and new rants you haven t heard before.
decision not to allow the testimony tomorrow, that this has happened more than a dozen times in the last 50 years, that you get this clash between the executive branch and the legislative branch over testimony. but why do you think that the white house didn t have a problem with mcgahn testifying before the mueller investigators, but they do have a problem with mcgahn now testifying before the house judiciary committee? that s a good question for the white house. but i will say that i think that we can come to an agreement. and i think that there were negotiations between the judiciary committee and the white house about mr. mueller testifying and those broke down, about mr. barr testifying, and those broke down. so, if those negotiations continue, we may eventually see that testimony. the committee has also subpoenaed the full mueller report, all 450 pages or so. you would like to see the whole thing, right? i think that the portions unrelated to grand jury
what do you make of amash s comments? do you think that he will inspire other republicans to say out loud what they think, just like he did? that is the key question. does justin amash bring other republicans along with him on the question of impeachment? now, the answer that most of my democratic and republican sources have to this is no. it s significant in a way that democrats now having the talking point that impeachment is a bipartisan issue. beyond that, justin amash is a caucus of one. he s the least partisan republican in congress. he s one of the most willing to criticize president trump. do others go along with him? probably not, but this does strengthen democrats hands in a way, that they now have more ammunition, rhetorically, at least, to demand the oversight requests in terms of mueller testifying, in terms of the full mueller report. so it definitely plays into democrats hands in a sense. joule lulie, eric swalwell t this, saying, should note justin
