right and wrong but also win in the public so that you don t have to really win in the could yours. he s trying to win the public s perception of what the investigation is and what its results are by essentially tarnishing is throughout the process. the longer he delays this entire process, the longer he evades sitting down for an interview, the more time he has to go after the sources, the witnesses, you know, the claims that are being made there, and go individually to each one and try and create a conspiracy. i think it s a public management strategy. i don t think it s a good legal strategy. it might work in the sense he has won a lot of support to his favor by going to the public by speaking to the public and mostly through his social media feeds. at least sport amongst the people that support him which remains a sort of unshakeable but small numerically in percentage terms of the country. thanks for joining me. the historic number of women seeking election after a cleaning up
given that conservatives are almost pro police. hostile reaction to the black lives matter movement calling for an end to the killing of unarmed. love even more than the police, guns. cpac, the conservative political action conference, where several speakers including dana loecsh have vented. all the while ignoring the elephant in the room, the easy availability of an assault weapon to a known, troubled 19-year-old. tarnishing law enforcement is certainly an interesting move for the right whose agenda, specifically the agenda trump ran on has been law and order. jennifer reuben and michelle bernard is back with me and author of one nation after trump. e.j., what do you make of this shift whether it s on trump and
groups or anything saying that any memos shouldn t be released. i think the general american public likes transparency. and i think that this president has made it clear that he likes transparency, as well. that would be the challenge of the view of the president liking transparency after the request to release the visitor logs at both the white house and mar-a-lago and his tax returns. as it relates to transparency and not releasing memos, why not wait for the scrubbing as it is to protect sources and methods of the democratic memo and release them together? i do think that both memos should and will be released. i think the american people should continue to demand transparency. i m much more concerned about that than i am about the tarnishing of agency that s we ve seen great agencies that we ve seen great corruption in. not that there aren t lots and mostly good people in the agencies. we need to make sure, and they need to be accountable. we know that there has been
happen, people who spent a career championing civil liberties. i want to say this to both of you, i m always suspicious of the intel committee. we were told, for example, wie were not, there was no metadata that was being collected. chris you remember that. one of the heads of intelligence said that and the senate committee said it to senator ron wyden, said, no, we re not collecting that data. chris. let me say this. i think we could release the democrat memo. i m not against that. it should happen and the fact that it didn t is really speaking that incentive i talked to you about, doing it this way undermines the intentions no matter how jgenuine you say the are. symone, final word. the washington post editorial is out tonight saying speaker ryan is aiding and abetting and the tarnishing of the united states house of representatives, the high bar of this committee. i just have questions. devin nunes recused himself,
editorial is out tonight saying speaker ryan is aiding and abetting in the tarnishing of the united states house of representatives, the high war of this committee. i just have questions. devin nunes recused himself, what happened to the recusal, where is the democratic memo, and if this information is so egregious, why are so many people coming out and saying that it is harmful to our institutions, it s not helpful to the investigation? this looks like republicans on this committee are doing the bidding of donald trump, and that has issues. that s problematic. that s not bipartisan. that s not in the best interest of figuring out and combatting the fact that russia interfered in our election. that s a bipartisan issue. fair points on both sides. let s leave it there. and unfortunately, we re not going to know more until this memo drops. and that will probably be very soon. lady, gentleman, thank you. all right. stick around. we have a special final fact next. guaranteed to tell yo
