crime. shouldn t we be concerned with that. donald trump is winning if we re arguing about whether or not hillary clinton created treason. this is about distraction, this is about undermining the investigation, this is about preempt preemptively undermining anything they found so no one is paying attention. i think he takes his children. he ll pardon them if he has to? i don t think they re accused of any crimes, but if it were me i would do anything to protect my children. we agree. next, ivanka trump is defending her use of private e-mail saying lock her up doesn t apply to ivanka trump. anyway, will congressional oversight committees agree with that? you re watching hardball. to most, he s phil mickelson, pro golfer.
democrats hated comey more than any human being. he actually did hillary clinton a big favor because she should be in jail. he lied like a dog on e-mails. she should be in prison. maya wiley, msnbc legal analyst, danny is a va lis, and yamiche alcindor, any reaction to the story inside the white house yet? it really is a window into the fact that president trump is still really angry at his political opponents and really hoping to wield the power of the presidency to hurt those people. i think that sometimes the people thought there was a lot of rhetoric on the campaign trail and that he was just ginning up his base by saying lock her up. now we know he really did want to lock her up. it shows the president has some restraint in that he didn t actually follow through with this idea yet, but it paints in a different light the hiring of
that line, everybody has to come down on him. that s a slippery slope because of the word radical. we could sit here and make a case. is it an incitement term meant to demean. it s a tough call. that was a price line. there are certain things he does in recent days by encouraging people to body slam reporters. that wasn t even the story of the day. it was a huge story when he crosses that incitement line. when they start saying lock her up, no, come on. move on. particularly now that we know he seems to be using his cell phone that is far riskier hillary clinton did with her et e-mails. it s not a big call. i m struck by once again what a
is what i call the stick it to the man base. they re democrats and republicans. and frankly, they would love to see the government shut down and have this president do it. and this is what i was saying. they re going to, instead of saying lock her up, they re going to start chanting shut it down. because they believe donald trump knows what s right and how we should do these things and he s not afraid with the economy doing well to use some of that capital to get his wall. and so i don t think he s bluffing. i think he s dead serious on this. i couldn t disagree more. one, the republican party is now the donald trump party. right? you talk about conservatives and what once upon a time that means. apparently now it means run up deficits, it means we re not for free trade and it means we re about shrugging away from family values. so i don t know what conservatism means anymore with donald trump. two is look, it does play to his base. but house and senate republicans are right. it is
attorney general and the thing his boss donald trump really likes and how do we know that? because that boss has frequently let fly with his own tirades against jeff sessions. jake? all right. tom foreman, thank you. this is the top law enforcement officer in the country. joining in to a degree, wasn t chanting and saying lock her up. does that bother you at all? yeah. it is an awkward moment on stage when you re faced with that. people may differ in the ways they deal with it and an opportunity to say, hey, i understand what you re referencing and i understand your concerns about it and here s how the justice department works and why it can t go down certain roads. they re high school students. you have an opportunity. i think they call it a teachable moment. it was not taken. i want to play some sound from sessions confirmation hearing. during the course of this boisterous political campaign did you ever chant lock her up? no, i did not. interesting that today he he d
