them. a few years ago hosting a sunday show on television was considered a very big deal in washington. now, nobody cares. it s irrelevant. imagine if you were the host of one of those shows. chuck todd is a need to imagine, he is the host of one of those shows. he spent his entire life trying to get this kid only to discover that once he got it, it is not worth having. no wonder he seem so bitter and fragile. here he is earlier this year. this was started when the mainstream media stop, dropped any pretense of being unbiased and chose sides during this election. this fire was started when you completely ignored, for example, our investigation of hunter biden. no evidence of wrongdoing and we find out, there is a fair amount of evidence we have a real fbi investigation. senator, all right listen i have had enough of this too last year a situation where republicans and conservatives do not trust the mainstream media and that is
considered a very big deal in washington. now, nobody cares. it s irrelevant. imagine if you were the host of one of those shows. chuck todd doesn t need to imagine, he is the host of one of those shows. he spent his entire life trying to get this gig, only to discover that once he got it, it is not worth having. no wonder he seems so bitter and fragile. here he is earlier this year. this was started when theh mainstream media stopped dropped any pretense of being unbiased and chose sides during this election. this fire was started when you completely ignored, for example, our investigation of hunter biden. no evidence of wrongdoing and we find out, there is a fair amount of evidence we have a real fbi investigation. senator, all right listen, i have had enough of this, too last year en a situation where republicans and conservatives do not trust the mainstream media and that is what has destroyed the credibility of the media and our institutions
you put that investigation next to a real fbi investigation, the differences are numerous and i think the key is likely to be the so-called tip line that the investigators ran for effectively for the white house in the kavanaugh investigation i don t think they did a real tip line, i don t think they looked at what came in, i don t think they ever followed up on a lead in my experience it was a very weird thing as a former united states attorney to watch the fbi affirmatively turning away and deflecting and repelling information. the fbi is a machine for the collection of information and fending it off was weird well, we will find out what the house judiciary committee will do, if they will open an investigation. senator sheldon whitehouse, thanks for coming on and sharing your views appreciate it. all this week nbc news and msnbc will be doing our best to confront climate change in a special series we re calling climate in crisis.

leaned on corey lewandowski to convey a message to the former a.g. that he wanted him to curtail the russia investigation and talk about it in less than flattering ways. i will say this about everything that we ve seen transpire today and i should mention this hearing has about 90 minutes yet to go. we have not yet seen this new framework that this committee voted into fruition last week. we ve not yet seen that where we ll have a half hour from the committee staffers from the democratic side and half hour from the committee staffers on the republican side putting specific questions to corey lewandowski so that might put some points on the board for democrats. but i talked to a staffer and said you agreed to this new approach why not have the committee staffers do the questioning first? his response was, well, you re assuming that this whole thing was about getting answers from corey lewandowski. i then replied, well, what was the point? the point this staffer says was to show, was to
