he does it, he and his family are in jeopardy because that s who vladimir putin is and that s what this kremlin does. bill: it will be gripping stuff. chris stirewalt helping us with that in washington, d.c. one of the allegations he makes is that the russians are trying to get him to sign a deal that he was guilty of stealing 23 million dollars. he got out. others along the trail did not and what he is about to tell these lawmakers. shannon: he has called out a lot of people in washington who have enabled this whole thing to happen and do some public shout-outs to those folks under oath today. we ll see, stand by. president trump s new communications director not pulling punchs on leaks in the white house. there are hold overs and we have to move quickly. shannon: how many heads have to roll inside the administration to get the leaks to stop?
the threat russia presents to us. shannon: i know the country hopes that you get clear-cut answers about what happened during our presidential election. we will. shannon: we were showing chuck grassley and he had an interesting tweet i want to share with folks. everybody in d.c. should be warned that the agenda for the judiciary committee is set for the rest of 2017. ag no way. seems to be signaling to the president don t even think about getting rid of jeff sessions. you have had to say this. there will be holy hell to pay if sessions is fired. you ve gone on to say if the president fires mueller, the special counsel, he could be laong at the beginning of the end of his presidency. those are strong words. i hope they can understand two things. i want to help the president where i can. i like his agenda on foreign policy. he has been a good commander-in-chief. wants to rebuild the military and cut taxes and try to replace and repeal obamacare. we have a lot in common.
with something that no other person in the country could get away with, right? there is not two standards. one standard, equal treatment under the law. what we found during the middle of this election you had the subject of the investigation s husband meet with the attorney general three days before the subject of the investigation is scheduled to be interviewed by the f.b.i. when does that ever happen anywhere else? all these facts we need to examine them all. was there collusion between james comey and robert mueller when he leaked the memo to the new york times to create momentum for a special counsel? all those questions need to be answered. special counsel is the right way to do it. bill: it s almost august, why now? james comey just told us a few weeks back saying the attorney general of the united states told me to say something to the american public that wasn t accurate. we think we need to get to the bottom of all that information. bill: your colleague steve
after seven years this is your chance to shine. don t let the american people down. end tweet. what s going to happen? well, i hope we what happens is we go forward. we won t have the final bill today most likely but push the process forward. i like pushing the process forward. i m working on the grant/cassidy amendment to helpful fill president trump s campaign pledges and give senators and representatives a good thing to vote for. bill: this thing called skinny repeal so our viewers know, this is what s being considered on screen yet again. end obamacare s individual mandate and employer mandate and abolish the tax on medical devices. is that healthcare reform or keeping the issue alive? both. it moves the issue forward. the american people don t like the mandates and having to pay a penalty if they choose not to purchase insurance.
want to basically conflate these two things and make all the leaks equally bad. bill: you are making the case that the story is not about the leaks at the moment, it s about a power play within the west wing. absolutely. this is a power struggle. bill: we can see the president pulling in his own people yet again, right? six or seven months in because some of the folks who work there came from you want to call them outsiders but work for the rnc, right? they were a package deal that came in in january. so the suggestion then would be that it s time to maybe not clean house but to rearrange house. last word. yeah, look. donald trump respects two kinds of people. really rich people, including celebrities, and members of his own family. and we ve seen the people like reince priebus and jeff sessions and others who he does not consider either his peers
