The president saying crooked h destroyed phones with hammers and emails and had husband meet with a. G. The day before she was cleared, and she talks about obstruction . Gregg, you say trump should kp have hiewler quit . Gregg you cannot be a special counsel if you have a witness close to the case. Comey and mueller are longtime close personal friends, partners, allies. They were joined at the hip at the d. O. J. And f. B. I. Its a mentorprotege relationship. Mueller will decide whether to believe his good friend or the man who fired his good friend. Charles many are saying the key mistake trump may have made was firing comey in the first place. Would this compounds Public Relations point of view, maybe make a legal case more complicated. Every time someone is investigating you, you fire them. Gregg im not suggesting donald trump should fire Robert Mueller, mueller should disqualify himself on his own. To fail to do so violates the statute and the canon of ethics. This is the kinds of stuff over which lawyers get disbarred. If mueller doesnt resign on his own and the president should pressure him to do so. Make a case for the conflict of interest, Rod Rosenstein ought to fire mierl and rosenstein ought to step down because hes conflict and hes also a witness in the firing of james comey. Charles Interview Questions have gone out for dan coats and mike rogers. I think i speak for a lot of people, we want to see this come to an end. Gregg its not going to happen. It would be lovely it could all be over in a month or two or three months. This isnt going to end quickly. Charles i want to bring in matthew whitaker. Your thoughts on the legal aspects of this. We are laymen and trying to catch up. But it doesnt pass the Public Relations laymans smell test. First, bob mueller is very familiar with the canon of ethics and knows if he has a conflict or ear persons of a conflict he would have to resign. Charles the relationship with comey does not disqualify him . I know this specific statute. Gregg jarrett is not the only one saying this. I think a lot of smart people have said that. But the way i read that regulation its a personal relationship like a husbandwife and not a friendship relationship. We need to know the basis of their relationship. It could cross a line where they are so close. But bob mule per knows what that line is. If he continues to cling on to itn the face of this controversy he will ha to answer serious questions mr. Jarett raises in his article. Charles who will ask these questions . If they wont ask them of themselves. Who gets to ask these questions. How does this ultimately get resolved. Can we get some sort of conclusion quickly . I think two things will happen. Rod rosenstein has to call up bob mule per and say you have to tell me more about your relationship with james comey and give me a chronological what have you done together, how often do you see each other. And i expect somebody will follow up on the complaint. Charles i want to bring in our panel for more political insight into this. Angela, the politics of this obviously. Did you say President Trump . So why why are we still talking about Hillary Clinton and what she did. Hes the leader of the flee world. He can change the narrative. We are making a lot about this. But jim comey said the president whispered this in his ear. Did the president say he said it . No. Charles with respect to how this plays out in the public arena. And whether this is a witch hunt. Is this politically motivated . You live in d. C. , you know how this stuff works. They have tried to delegitimize this man since the beginning. But the president tweeting and answering two of his critics does not bode well for him. Its great to go to wisconsin and do the apprenticeship program. But what are you doing to create a more prosperous america . A lot of folks around President Trump were happy when his personal counsel had taken control. Let them handle it. By the way, breaking news. Vice president pence has hired outside counsel this afternoon to deal with this russia probe. Let someone else handle that. Stay focused on the task at hand. It doesnt matter from a legal perspective when he when he does these tweets. Gregg i gregg lot of people have criticized him but it doesnt really matter. The special counsel is there to investigate the white house, not the person. Donald trump needs that. And he needs spokes people for that legal team to get out his side of the story which seems to be missed. Angela referred to it a moment ago. Donald trump denies he ever said this. Lets hope you can see your way clear. He denies he ever said this. Its a he saidhe said. Take a page out of bill clintons playbook. They are going to russia, you are still the president. Leave the country. Charles in the meantime when niece headlines come up, they are typed extraordinary, because they always seem to do major damage all the things that President Trump could do with respect to executive orders and other things like that have been done. Now its got to be done through the legislative process. Yesterdays tragedy doesnt make things easier. But from a legal point of view, he saidhe said, why should it take so long to be resolved. Gregg it keeps expanding into different areas. Now it maybe will head in the direction of Loretta Lynch where it probably should. Im not a trump apologist. I look at the law and the facts and try to draw reasoned analysis. If there was an 0 obstruction case an obstruction case i would be heading over to Loretta Lynch to get comey to perpetuate a lie in the Hillary Clinton investigation. Thats like intentionally, correct . Gregg obstruction has to include a threat, a bribe, or a lie or destruction of evidence. Comey alleges none of those with respect to the president. Under the statute there can be no obstruction of justice. The Supreme Court said a corrupt act has to be wicked, depraved and evil. Asking him to be compassionate to Michael Flynn is the antithesis of that. Charles representative scalise is out of his most recent surgery. We are told hes still in Critical Condition. Again, its all about those leaks. And they do add credence to the idea that this is a witch hunt. What it means for the credibility of a potential trump investigation. What about those hammers and broken cell phones . [vo] when it comes to investing, looking from a fresh perspective can make all the difference.

Charles according to the Washington Post officials who say Robert Mueller is investigating President Trump for possible obstruction of justice. Why leak that . And why leak it last night . It feels like the real crime being comiptd are the actual leaks themselves and not the contents of those leaks. I couldnt agree more. But first, if the Washington Post rsh i is telling the trut. If they have a legitimate source and if they are telling the truth about this leak, then that leads us to the next part which is critically important, that mueller, we heard hes unimpeachable of character. I hope thats true. But if his office is actually leaking. Its incumbent upon him to immediately resign and cannage the special counsel must have a sanctity important to the process. Charles trump tweeted out. People even before that leak last night were questioning his role as special counsel, now the questions are even louder. One of the things mueller made a mistake in is bringing people who donated to democrats. Very few people in america donate. Even if they can be impartial, politic is perception. I have been predicting the Mueller Investigation would go quiet for a while and there wouldnt be any leaks. Certainly that was proven wrong last night. That plays into the white house strategy. Mueller is respected on both side of the aisle. But there have been missteps that leave him open to criticism. Charles what we are look at is the Nationals Park in washington, d. C. The teams have taken the field. There is going to be a solemn moment, there will be some prayers associated with this. So you know how steeped in washington, d. C. Tradition this is. The game goes back to 1916 where the republicans actually won. I dont think either party is concerned about who wins. They are out there together showing they can exhibit unity when they have to. Its a wonderful scene to see. And well show you scenes as they come through. Steve cortes, when President Trump tweeted out that when the collusion thing didnt work, they created object truck and calls this the greatest witch hunt in political history. The way the leak have come out, the behavior of im and now mueller. It makes you feel like its a witch hunt. It does. I will tell you, i think whats happening here this isnt just conspiracy, its happening in the light of day. Donald trump came to washington, d. C. Not to finger around the evenings of the washington establishment, but to usurp it and smash it apart with the will of the people and the washington establishment is fighting backfoot and claw. And i would say a lot of republicans are fighting back, too. We never expected it would be easy. The state isnt going to die easily. But it has to. Why . For the success and prosperity of the american people. We are seeing a process thats hard to watch, but eventually it will lead to security and growth for our country. Gentlemen, thank you both have much. Appreciate. Coming up, questions mount even from democrats on why there isnt an investigation of Loretta Lynch. This after james comey threw her under the bus with his that bombshell testimony. The attorney general directed me not to call it an investigation, but to call it a matter which confused me and concerned me. Let it sink in. Shouldnt we say we have the lowest price .

Charles moments ago all the participants in tonights tonigs conscioutonightscongressional e taking a knee. Lsu is the sign of camaraderie of representative scalise who just finished another operation and hes still in Critical Condition. We are praying for him to come out of this okay, and our country to come out of this okay. There are questions about former attorney general Loretta Lynch and the email probe remains unanswered. Crimes were committed, crimes were coughed up, or just simply ignored. And she has not been called to the carpet. Here to discuss is Elizabeth Harrington and gregg jarrett. After comb question more or less said she framed her encounter with bill clinton, the hammering and the investigation into Hillary Clinton in certain ways seem more like obstruction than anything i have seen with respect to President Trump and the russians. That was one of the most important things we learned from james comey testimony. Loretta lynch was using the parking points of the Hillary Clinton campaign when she was with the department of justice. She said lets just call it a matter. Though comey said it made him feel queazy. He still followed her orders and he didnt object to it. And he went ahead with clinton talking points. The tarmac meeting with bill clinton need to be investigated further because we never got answers on this. It looks like that investigation into clintons email server was politicized. Charles the tarmac incident was the height of arrogance and felt like it broke all kind of laws and certainly protocol. Gregg the proximity of that tarmac meeting between clinton and lynch. And then she is free and clear because of james comey. Now we learn through comeys testimony that Loretta Lynch was trying to get. He came to the world justin the usual way but there were planes to catch and bills to pay so i moved my meeting saw him walk that day he was talking fore i knew it, and as he grew hed say im gonna be like you, dad you know im gonna be like you and the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon Little Boy Blue and the man in the moon. Charles breaking news. Several lawmakers on both sides of the aisle claiming they are receiving Death Threats and other threatening foreign calls following yesterdays shooting that targeted gop congressmen. One congressman said he received Death Threats before yesterdays shooting, including one that targeted his newborn daughter. We should remind the audience that you served in congress as well. What do you make of whats happening in this country right now. Prayers go out to my former colleague Steve Scalise, a great man. Its hurtful whats happening. When you look at rhetoric and actions. Right up to the inauguration you have someone talking about blowing up the white house or holding up the severed head of the president. And the act in central park depicting the assassination. We can disagree on policy, but we should not have actions inflaming people. When Gabby Giffords was shot, i was in congress. I made sure i had a concealed carry license. And i had the former nypd detective that was my sidekick. We need to look at reciprocity. These guys are walking home to their respective places of residence they have up there. Charles we are look live at National Park and ivanka trump is talking to flairs from both sides of the aisle. Its a reminder of what possibly could be. Beyond asking lawmakers and legislators to carry guns, the temperature, the hate, the vitriol in our country, what can be done about that . I think those people inciting it need to stop. Those people resource and funding it, they need to stop. When you look at what happened at campus of the university of california berkeley where you had property that was destroyed and cars that were burned. I know and speak on College Campuses all over the country. When you have the shutting down of what people believe is speech they dont agree with. Thats not whats supposed to happen in the United States of america. So i think its very important we get that back under control. Charles i want to bring in a panel to help with this discussion. Ned, what are your thoughts about this . Its an ugly period, the phone call and threats, emails went through the roof. Many are saying they have never seen it like this. My dad served in congress for 10 years. There will always be people unhappy with how the member voted. When you see professors calling for house gop to be lined up and shot, for trump to be shot, hanged. At some point the whole point of powerful rhetoric is to stir passion and emotions and put hands and feet into motion. The end goal of rhetoric
