there are some nuggets in this report that do raise some new questions. there are nuggets when natasha, when adam schiff on the house intel committee, democrat, a lawyer, wasn with katy tur today, she ask was it a wasd effort because these lines of inquiries were not pursued. sandwiched between two calls is a third called to a blocked number. now then candidate trump had a blocked number. we sought to find out was this his son calling donald trump to find out if he should go forward with the meetings with the russians. the republicans refused to find t. they refused to let us seek the phone records. time after timwhen there were leads the republicans said we don t what to know. i don t know if that s a coded message, but the bottom line is robert mueller can get those phone records.
his son-in-law was there, his son was there. this adds further corroboration to the idea that he was told about it prior to that meeting and whether or not the republicans or the democrats on the house intel committee were ever able to get to the bottom of that, you can be sure that robt mueller will. stephen, what s your sense of whether or not it s a wasted effort that the republicans didn t do this? we know, for instance, from the senate intel committee, but they re nowhere close to having their work done. they feel there s a lot of stones to cover, more people to interview, more documents to look at. to natasha s point we knew from the beginning the house intel committee wasn t going to work out to give us a lot o information. what s your sense of what we re still to hear? my senses it s even worse than a wasted effort because it s a pr piece, you can tell the tweet from trump an hour
but certainly half of that committee di t. michael, natasha, stephen thank you for joining me. coming up the demise of ronny jackson as secretary of the va. why the white house said trums rant filled interview with his favorite fox new show may become a routine event. once there was an organism so small no one thought much of it at all. people said it just made a mess until exxonmobil scientists put it to the test. they thought someday it could become fuel and power our cars wouldn t that be cool? and that s why exxonmobil scientists think it s not small at all. energy lives here. hello. give me an hour in tanning room 3. cheers! that s confident. but it s not kayak confident.
that mr. trump s primary residence has a blocked phone line. democrats suggest that then candidate trump may have been in touch with his son at the time they was planning the meetings with the russians. but the republicans say, quote, despite the minority repeated efforts to obtain home or cell phone recds for the then candidate trump to determine whether the blocked call was trump junior s father, the majority was unwilling to pursue the matter. joining us now is michael isikoff, natasha bertrapped and stephen harper. welcome to all of you. thank you for being with us. stephen, let me start with you, as it relates to the time line.
tower meeting. you ll find no reference to that in this house intelligence report that was released today. kind of remarkable. you would have hoped this report got us further in understanding members of congress are taking their responsibilities seriously. but certainly half of that committee didn t. michael, natasha, stephen thank you for joining me. coming up the demise of ronny jackson as secretary of the va. why the white house said trump s rant filled interview with his favorite fox news show may become a routine event.
