In an investigation that implicates either me or my campaign because youre my Attorney General. Its my Justice Department and whats more, you can be a hero to conservatives if youll investigate my vanquished rival. When we meet with parliamentarians from emerging democracies we always urge them when you win an election, you dote seek to jail the losing side. Here our own president of the United States is trying to do exactly that. How big a deal is it fundamentally . Well, its a big deal in this respect. Its further evidence of a corrupt intent on the president s part. Further evidence that he may have violated the law by obstructing justice in the firing of comey. But in other efforts, as well. One of the other disturbing signs we saw just today is the president s announcement that hes going to pardon someone who had violated Campaign Finance laws by surreptitiously exceeding limits. It looks a lot like a message to Michael Cohen who may also be
implicated in exceeding Campaign Limits
To homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget. That your business is our business the United States postal service. Priority you welcome to kasie d. C. Im kasie hunt. We are live every sunday from washington from 7 00 to 9 00 p. M. Eastern. Tonight, trump putin, the sequel, the leadrs meet in helsinki. Things get tricky ahead of the summit. Later republican congressman Ryan Costello joins me live. He says his colleagues conclusions on the russia investigation should be taken with a grain of salt. But just hours from now, President Trump and President Putin are set to meet. Things were always going to be a little awkward to begin with. And then came the indictments of a dozen russians laid out in forensic detail. It leaves a lot of questions, like whether holding those accountable will come up in their conversation. The russians who were indicted, would you ask putin to send them here . Well, i might. I hadnt thought of that, but certainly ill be asking about it. Again, this
Course if you show up for their deportation or immigration hearing. So at the start of the Trump Administration lost Immigrant Kids, they didnt lose anybody. When hhs tried to check up on these kids with their sponsors, at times, illegal immigrant families themselves caring for the children, 1475 failed to take the calls or even respond to the government at all. So the Immigrant Kids arent lost. Their sponsors just havent connected with the hhs, or made themselves available. But the media want to misconstrue that as losing a kid, okay. Lets do that for a moment. Hypothetically lets just say that thats correct. Obama lost nearly three times the number of kids, the New York Times reporting a 2016 Inspector General report show that the federal government was able to reach only 84 of
children it had placed leaving 4,159 undercounted 4,159 unaccounted for. Correct me if im wrong, i dont remember any Media Lashing out at obama for losing kids or separating them from their families. In fact,

I think that they are going to run into a brick wall as far as logistics of getting those requests answered, Mitch Mcconnell has said that this is going to go forward october 1st. Chuck grassley has said that youre going to see 1 million plus documents. Not only all of the writings that deal with the 300 plus different decisions that were made, so there is plenty of reams of information to look at how this judge could potentially be a justice, and i do not think that the democratic efforts will go far. Dana all right, bret baier, thank you so much. We will see you, dana. Dana fox news alert, Facebook Says it has suspended 32 swiss suspicious pages, dana what is the reaction on capitol hill .

Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Confused, one goal of mr. Giuliani was pretty evident. Ive been sitting here looking in the federal code trying to find collusion as a crime. Its not. Collusion is not a crime. I dont even know if thats a crime, colluding about russians. Okay. You start analyzing the crime, the hacking is the crime. That certainly is the origin of the the president didnt hack. Of course not. Thats the he didnt pay them for hacking. As you know, it has led the meeting with the russians. If you got the hacked information from the russians here at cnn and you played it would you be in jeopardy of going to jail . Of course not. Okay. The president didnt hack and he didnt pay for the hacking. So thats an interesting thing to say. That, though, you that see there, is an idea that trumps allies have trotted out before. It doesnt hold up to legal scrutiny at all, particularly when you consider that mueller has already charged more than a dozen russians with conspiring a
