president in jail, or to say that you think that the president should be impeached when there has been no investigation. we haven t had any fact-finding. bav i think that is stepping over the line. i do have a problem with it. dan: congressman, your take on this? we have seen this increasingly hostile position from the democrat party. it s really hard to believe when you see this.ll you have even people on msnbc complaining like we are in a third world republic here. this is outrageous. this is the speaker of theli house here talking behind closed doors. no one has yet to refute it conclusively, talking about putting handcuffs on the president of the united states after he was spied on by their party. they should apologize to him. not calling for his jailing. this tendency to criminalize our political process is disturbing. it goes back to the persecution of the tea party by the i.r.s. i still know tea party activists who won t go near politics because they are scared to death of b
against papadopoulos, and he denied having ever engaged in these unlawful acts. they are presenting information to try to reinforce their bias, rather than putting forth the information that would have spared our country from this 22 months of division, because from the veryni beginning, it was obvious to people that there wasn t collusion, but yet they allow the investigation to persist. dan: congressman turner, so wewe have seen information has come out, but we have seen very little accountability. i m trying to think of the best way to phrase it. i get emails a lot from people and the listeners, i see them on twitter all the time, as well. they are upset. they see people getting off. there is an allegation this week of a senior fbi officially accused of leaking. of course, the doj did not want to prosecute that case they are does it appear that any time it involves a trump-associated person, mike flynn, george papadopoulos, paul manafort, that the heavy hand of justice comes dow
the russians went to was reporting intelligence to our own government, i think it would call into question substantial portions of his work. but there are three real levels of what mr. durham s doing. fisa abuses, the lies before the courts that should not have occurred. also the illegal leaks. your point about james baker highlights the extent to which under james comey leadership the f.b.i. wasn t conducting the investigations and looking for the truth. they were trying to shape public opinion. and i think most notably the corrupt origins of the investigation inside the obama white house. where we weren t just violating the rights of our own citizens in our country, but allies like britain and others that we could haven t done in the united states. that s bad news. dan: congressman turner, i will go to you on a related .topic. you do you sense a tide is turng
since 1783 when they ratified the constitution is under attack. if i was in one of these administrations, and somebody comes into my office and says, hey, we will have to talk about your attitude towards things politically, i would dime that person out. you stand you swear an oath and i swore an oath and we protect and defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies, foreign and domestic. we don t sarah, you were tweeting i think you tweeted about this yesterday. donald trump has even invoked the idea, continuing the russia gate investigation, he said people will die, the artificial hit job gets in the way and that s a shame because people will die because of it and it s a pure it job. do you know what he was talking about when he said that? no, the transcript is unclear. it could regard north korea or
which have not manifested any consequences yet, 53% of people recently polled say he should resign over these allegations. 53% believe the women. i have to say on the day that senator franken announced his resignation i wrote that it should trigger an investigation of donald trump, not necessarily that he should be asked to resign, which he should for lots of reasons. but i really thought the democrats were missing an opportunity to bring this back and part of the reason people were so angry about what was done to senator franken i ve never been more ambivalent in my life. democrats cannot unilaterally disarm on this question. you and i talked about this two or three weeks ago, that they were being set up and that if al franken resigned, their default
