Say constitutional privilege, as a member of senate, this is not a question, im speaking to my colleagues, i find myself in quandary about being denied those particular documents, i cannot find any assertion of the privilege these documents just suddenly appeared and somebody had put constitutional privilege on the page and wiped out all the text that was on the page. And my understanding is that there is ordinarily a process for getting to that determination that allows for ultimately judicial review. And we have failed to get subpoenas out of the committee for documents, we cant trigger it that way and no apparent assertion of executive privilege i can find in the record of how this particular paper got here. So i just wanted to establish some of the basic ground rules of executive privilege with you, because i think we agree on that, that is basically commonly agreed and put that in the context of what we are looking sxat particularly with respect to chairman leahy questioning earli
Ordinary midterms. This is the age of trump. Forget the adage that all politics is local, right now all politics is national. Typically midterms are referendums on the sitting president , and, well, that is more true than ever this election year. Heck, we just saw the governors race in florida last week get winnowed down to a person that was a trump clone versus a democrat who was an impeachment progressive. It has nothing to do with whether President Trump has to stay in office or not, but welcome to 2018. These midterm elections are happening at a moment when the president is facing tremendous legal pressure from a series of federal corruption investigations, which have implicated him while also racking up guilty pleas, indictments and a very highprofile conviction among his associates. Voters, especially independents, want a midterm outcome that would provide a check and balance on trump. And the president is trying to amp up some of his voters by warning of violence if republicans
Markets taking a nosedive today after President Trump tweets a surprise announcement, that the United States will impose tariffs on goods from mexico until mexico stops migrants from crossing the u. S. Border. Breaking news, flooding in the midwest and plains reaches an even more dangerous level. Mandatory evacuations under way at this moment after a levy breach overnight. Weve got barr versus mueller. The attorney contradicts the former special counsel, saying there was no reason mueller should have avoided coming to a conclusion on obstruction. I personally felt he could have reached a decision. In your view he could have reached a conclusion . Right, he could have reached a conclusion. We must start this morning with President Trumps surprise announcement overnight, tlern threatening to hike tariffs on all mexican goods. That would take effect in less than two weeks. Two people who know how this works are with me from the white house, hans nichols and kayla tausche. Hans, what is th
Which is a hoax to start off with, if you notice there was breaking news today. The ukrainian president came out and said very strongly that President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong. Harris this as the democrat led house impeachment committee, and President Trumps press conference in london scheduled just 30 minutes after the start of the hearing. This is outnumbered and i am melissa francis. Host of kennedy on the fox business network, syndicated radio host and Fox News Contributor Leslie Marshall and in the center seat today, c here in chief of the daily caller news foundation, christopher bedford. And he is outnumbered. Christopher, there is something to that one may see the president on the world stage. Democrats do like to get together in the house or in congress somewhere and roll out Something Like this. When he has been abroad, that whole norm, and he doesnt attack his political opponents while abroad, thats just out the window. All the rules are out the window though. Ther
Graham back during clinton and now . Of course. Of course. Thats how you understand it. Same guy, totally different supply in terms of what theyre on thats motivating their arguments. Weve seen it work both ways. Thats why people are so frustrated. Thats why they expect so little and thats why the truth matters so much. The concern, though, is that can we, even in the face of all the evidence in the phone call and you see the whistleblower report and up see the report and the call and i dont know if people see two Different Things or they want to see two Different Things, regardless of however those metrics work, we still live in a country that is extremely divided. In my 27 years on this planet, i have never seen us this you didnt catch that did you . You heard me. Ive always seen a division between right and left but not this divide, this crevasse that were seeing right now. You come from a political family. You know this. Its never been like this. It depends on what period youre tal
