evan perez, continue to follow that case. let s get more on this with democratic congressman ted deutsche of florida. congressman, thank you for joining us today. great to be with you, jim. i want to give you a chance to react to the president s very public attack via his twitter feed. we are told to tweet those tweets as presidential statement. a sitting president attacking two criminal investigations by a justice department led by an attorney general he appointed. is that threatening the rule of law, in your view? well, of course it s threatening the rule of law. it s outrageous. and anybody, anybody should be outraged by the president inserting himself into the operation of the justice department in criminal proceedings. i think it s important, jim, that we take a step back. this is outrageous. but why is the president tweeting about this out of
away and all lost and why mitch is now the majority leader. the court he appointed has given him and his backers unlimited money and dark money power as majority leader. the whole thing smells. you mentioned on the beat, do you think there will be an up or down vote on this nominee before the midterm elections? i think they re eager to make sure that happens and i think they will move heaven and earth to try to push for that. we ll see whether they can pull that o or not. we ought to not let them ramrod the procedure as well as ramrod the candidate. senator sheldon white house, on that judiciary committee, thank you for spending time with us. glad to be with you. rudy guiliani takes on the baby blimp directly and one of the organizers from london joins me next.
hold on, let me go through the democrats, christopher wray, no he s a republican. donald trump appointed. the attorney general is, no, way, jeff sessions he appointed, rod rosenstein, no, he s a republican, too. rod rosenstein is a republican, too. they re all republicans. jim comey? republican. jon meachum, how you doing this morning? i tell you what, jon? anything going on up there? you have an ig report that comes out. and it is completely twisted by the president of the united states. they try to pick two people, two underlings, who were idiots, texting each other. and saying horrible things about donald trump. just like fbi agents and c.i.a. agents said horrible things about barack obama, especially the new york office.
we re talking about the united states of america unaptly named freedom caucus. the disassembling has worked. it has worked. you go out to the country and ask you people what do you think about this? they say what is going on. the freedom caucus. you want to take the freedom caucus? the root of this the root of this occurred nearly two and a half years ago when every american intelligence service, the c.i.a., the fbi, the nsa, realized that the russians were attacking the foundations of our democracy, our electoral system. we don t talk about that. people don t know about that. the freedom caucus never mark meadows and jim jordan never mentioned the fact that we were victims of an act of war. we have a commander-in-chief who is not defending the republic. whose intel chiefs, that he appointed. let me say it again that he appointed, not barack obama, not
covered by these reports, now you have multiple examples. let s remember there have been 40 revisions to jared kushner s financial reports. at some point you have to say you re hiding things, slati vio the law. this is a civil law, but you sign it under penalty of perjury and that exposes you in theory to criminal prosecution. of course, luckily for donald the justice department is headed by a man he appointed. a quick bit of your guidance on this report because there are numbers on here that are big. this is supposed to reveal your personal income. donald trump puts down $40 million from a washington d.c. hotel. it is impossible that he personally derives $40 million in income from the hotel. is he putting down the total revenue number of the hotel without subtracting any expenses of the hotel. he is putting in these categories revenues, not income.
