tucker. he is investigating trump. not the crime. the judge was clear. hey, where s the beef on this? do you have anything? or are you investigating people simply to go after donald trump? a quick story on this. i was a federal agent. i worked with the federal government. i was a police officer. i hope the audience understands the incredible power the federal government has, to ruin your life, seize your assets, take your freedom and take your life. you do not investigate people. you investigate crimes and you find people. you don t investigate people. then go find crime. that is exactly what is happening. i think this judge saw it. i applaud him for taking a stand. tucker: isn t it the role of the press to fact-check things like this, to act as a backstop against abuse of power, rogue investigations? reporters are supposed to be interested in that and pushing back against that. why aren t they? because, tucker, the press are accomplices in this. yes.

he s supposed to have recused himself. in the final analysis, he s the one that s initiated the rogue investigations and the memo and clearly he is controlling the subpoenas and how testimony goes. so to answer your question, there are no republicans pressing anybody other than steve bannon. they laid a subpoena on steve bannon, because apparently nobody likes him, he s a man without a country. the problem with that is when steve bannon held his ground, i guess trying to curry favor again with the white house, the republicans, there were no republicans who pressed him when he held his ground and refused to answer questions about his time in the white house. i think he, mr. lewandoski, miss hicks, can answer critical questions that we re missing now. the republicans have taken this cue to say it s time to end the investigation. so the interviews are privileged as you know, yet, the details of the private testimony were leaked, including the
he s refused to issue subpoenas. he s gone along with this gag order. he is not really the only one to blame. none of these things could happen, including this latest escapade with rogue investigations and the memo that came with it. none of these things could happen without the speaker of the house involvement. before we get to a constitutional crisis, i think we re just at constitutional clashes now, he has to step up. the only republicans i ve seen who have spoken out about this memo and what should be done with it on the minority and majority side are members who are planning to leave congress. where are the profiles in courage? you re talking about paul ryan, speaker of the house. can you really count on him? to many people s estimation, so far when it comes to this administration, he has no backbone. he hasn t shown a willingness to step up.
