requesting documents from 81 individuals and entities connected to the president, his campaign and russia. all right, joining me now to talk more about this federal prosecutor, former federal prosecutor and a former federal prosecutor with the u.s. attorneys office in d.c. thanks to both of you. cynthia, let me start with you. this public interest thing. right. how does that determine who gets to decide that and what is how do we determine the information about this president and what happened in the election? there are a lot of people who said all of it is in the public interest. i think it s in the public interest. step back. the rules went through those are the attorney general s rules. they re his. so he can t hide behind those rules. which he kind of did in his hearing. that s not fair. he s in charge of those rules. so what s happened in the department of justice over the years, it is not uncommon in big cases where the public needs to know, for instance in a police
clearing out reading time, as i have been doing to comb through the vast wide ranging and gripping publication like the warren report after the kennedy assassination or the star report in the 1990s. right? well, hold on a second. let s look at what happens after the special counsel files in this instance? according to special counsel rules, and former acting solicitor, the author of those rules, mueller will first submit a summary report to attorney general william barr. the summary will give an overview of the investigation laying out what prosecutorial angles it took, which ones it didn t, and why those decisions were made. the attorney general bill barr will then submit his own report to congress, specifically to the chair and ranking members of the house and senate judiciary committees and he ll explain why to these four why the investigation is over and what the special counsel actions were approved or denied by the
shooting in ferguson or the martin luther king investigation that rena s ag office did through the civil rights division even though there was grand jury material, what happened was, the prosecutors and the grand jury went to the federal judge and said, who is in charge of the grand jury, we feed some to be able to reloo es the special grand jury material the 6e materials we call it. the judge says yes. then they write a report and they release it in the public interest. so he has wide latitude to do that, should he choose to do so and there will be obviously a lot of public pressure to do in this case. glen, what the rules say are very different from what a lot of americans think in much of keeping what cynthia said. we hear from people all the time. we want to know what the president did. what the mueller investigation found out the president did. because it speaks directly to our democracy. it might have much to do with donald trump and his character than the safeguards and our
it is a very difficult process in virginia as well as in washington democrats don t play by those rules. essentially there s been a lot of conversation right now about how democrats check themselves on race. they check themselves on sexual assault on how that is not something that the party stands for. justin certainly wants to protect himself. he wants to defend his good name. but i think it will come to a point where he is going to have to decide whether this is hurting the party at large, the party that wants to win in 2020. and i think there s a lot of distraction as it relates to the story. and that s going to be the real problem and the real dilemma that justin is going to have to deal with. there is article 4 of the constitution of virginia, section 17. the governor, lieutenant governor, many other can be impeached for malfeasance in office, corruption, neglective
drive the economy without government control. if you look at all of these policies, tax policies, regulatory policies. democrats want control of the policy. they want to remake it in their image of what s moral. they hate the fact that entrepreneurs don t play by those rules. they create, they innovate and has nothing to do with washington, d.c. that s the real issue here. and that s why they are pushing policies that are all about centralizing power and decision-making in washington, d.c. ed: that s what taxes are about, too. it s piggy bank. green new deal. medicare for all. i mean, they want the money to be able to reinvent the economy in their image to push the social policies that they are interested. in not what consumers are interested in and entrepreneurs are interested in. pete: class warfare. suddenly evil. they can t control rich people and dictate the terms. they have to sit back and watch. sorry, you can t always control things. sometimes you get 300,000
