The man who told me to fire the f. B. I. Director. witch hunt. Nobody has been able to show any proof of my collusion with the russians. Sources close to trumps legal team say hes not confirming hes under investigation, he was refer together contents of a Washington Post story. Lawrence, i think the idea that this is a witch hunt, five investigations, this other investigation. Even grassley looking for a comey investigation. The swamp surrounded the wagons around President Trump. For months they said the president was under investigation. When the hearing came we heard from james comey that the president was never under investigation. This is particularly interesting. Because we have a sitting member of congress in Critical Condition and lo and behold the f. B. I. Starts to leak to the media that the president is under investigation. I think its damning that f. B. I. Would leak information to the press when we have a sitting member of congress who was just attacked. There is no evidence that the f. B. I. Was responsible for those leaks. Based offer my conversation, its most likely people who were brought in for interviews its unfair to malign the reputation of our Law Enforcement officers. They have been leaking the whole time. That doesnt mean these source are the ones. Charles how many people do you think might have been brought in. There have only been a handful of names floated out there. Dan coats. Do you believe at this point someone in the intelligence community, maybe more than one person had to be responsible for getting this information to the media . Comey himself admitted to leaking to the New York Times. Its plausible that plenty of people in the Intel Community are sharing information with reporters. Thats not news. Thats what the Intel Communitys relationship with reporters has been and it raises Important Media ethics questions. Its important not to demonize the f. B. I. Where we dont know who was responsible for sourcing the Washington Post. They leak all the tile. The former fine director leaks. Correct. Charles troy, you are an attorney. Betsy is saying not to belittle or sully the reputation of the intelligence community. A lot of people believe if there is an investigation they may be doing this to themselves. They have gone beyond the scope of their power and mueller may be the wrong person to head up such investigation anyway. Thats true, charles. It looks like former f. B. I. Director Robert Mueller is investigating the president for firing another former f. B. I. Director comey because that former f. B. I. Director comey wouldnt stop the investigation into investigating the president for possible russian collusion which in and of itself doesnt appear to be any type of federal crime. Sow the rules that guide the special counsel dictate that the special counsel cannot have any friends and not have any personal relationships with anyone who is the subject matter of the investigation. It looks like Robert Mueller is the exact wrong guy to be heading up this investigation. Charles what do you make of the breaking news that attorney john dow, President Trumps outside legal team, hes beef be it up. The smart thing to do is defer all these questions to outside counsel rather than have internal spokes people try to handle them. Absolutely. The president is assembling a topnotch defense team because the wagons are being circled against him. It only makes sense for anybody that has a criminal investigation to start to assemble their criminal defense very early on. Charles here is the thing, lawrence. Everyone says its obvious russia tried to meddle in the election and it had no impact on the outcome. All of these other things we are spending a lot of taxpayer money on have yielded nothing. Exactly. Just present the proof to the American People. This is silly. Its a waste of resources. We know for months there were accusations that donald trump was a double agent with russia. He was colluding with russia and we figured out it was not true. Leak us some evidence since you guys like to leak so much. Leak us some actual evidence that donald trump collude with russia. If you dont have any evidence lets move on for the business of the American People. Charles betsy, how do you connect the dots. Where do we go from here . It feels like almost every day we are throwing a curveball. Bob mueller is a serious person. One story that stood out to me is from a lawyer who had a situation where mueller was working as a prosecutor on a case. I realized the mane was investigating was innocent. Mueller called the defense attorney and said the evidence i found exonerates your client so im dropping it. But mueller did it. Hes a serious person. If there is no there there, mueller is the one with credibility on the right and the left to say the door is closed, the book is clear, trump is clear. It will be a sit back, wait and see what the special counsel finds. Charles i understand where you are coming from with mueller. The bronze tar and purple heart. We heard nothing but bipartisan praise for comey. And im not trying to say anything neglective about mueller per se. But im saying something feels wrong. If hes not too close to the folks involved in this, already there have been reasons to lose confidence with him being in charge of this and it will hurt no matter the outcome. It will leave questions in peoples minds. Its clear Robert Mueller is a man of impeccable integrity with a storied history, seems to be a great and respectable guy. However charles are you surprised hes supposed to investigate federal crimes. Even if the Trump Campaign excluded with the russians in order to, you know, type the release of certain emails or release of information, there is no federal crime against that. It may be a political wrongdoing and something we should all know about. But it doesnt constitute a federal crime. Thats the only thing a special prosecutor is supposed to be looking at. Charles the plot continues to thicken. Medstar helped provide us an update on representative Steve Scalise who was shot in the hip area with the highpowered rifle tuesday. The congressmans status remains critical. We are encouraged by improvement in his condition over the last 36 hours. We controlled the internal bleeding and his vital signs stabilized. He will require additional operations to manage abdominal injuries and other bone injuries. Charles he also said scalise was in risk of death when he arrived at the hospital.

Charles Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein said americans should exercise caution before accepting as true any tories attributed to anonymous officials, particularly when they do not identify the country let alone the branch or agency of government. Americans should be sceptical about anonymous allegations. I would say even more than kept such at this point. It feels like there is a deliberate attempt to delegitimize the presidency of donald trump. And its hurting us so much more because we are losing faith in all these agencies that are supposed to protect us. Thats why we have to know its deliberate. Its deliberate by those in the media and those democrats who want to win in 2018. Republicans dont get their agenda, they dont build more road on our highways, so they dont repeal and replace obamacare and get tax reform. When democrats who work in the media do thing like this, the entire agenda gets derailed and the American People see no result for what they did last november. Charles i hope the wording get stronger and goes beyond just being a veiled threat. We are used to thinking of the good old days when news media were credible. If they were using an anonymous source, it was because they worked with that person and knew them to be credible. The key word in this particular phrasing that he chose, we dont even know what country these leaks are coming from. How ironic is it to consider these leaks could be coming from our enemy countries, charles, trying to make problems in our country by distracting from the things ron was just talking about. Its a total irony most of us never even considered. Charles i know more and more people are considering that. And more and more people are considering that the media lost all its credibility. Its sad that the 4th estate is a critical part of our lives. More than half the news on facebook is fake, right . So enemy lenials say this is the only thing i get my news from and hatch of it is fake. Thats when you know we reached the bottom. When the media has lower credibility than congress. We need honest journalism back. You think the Washington Post and New York Times would realize they are getting hit from both side. That they wouldnt just cite anonymous. Charles speaking of the New York Times this week, it wasnt even an anonymous source. They went on with a story about sarah palin that they knew was a bald faced lie. They knew it was a discredited story and they still put it out there. They have been doing this for years. And the other thing is, they will print a minor correction in some back page of their website or newspaper. But they never formally apologize to the target. And this is why, charles, their trustworthiness rating is lower than congress and lower than trump ever has been. The media is finished. Charles if you want your corrections, go straight to the obituary pages. I have breaking news. Water is flooding three compartments of a Navy Destroyer after it collide with a philippine cutter. The ship is returning to port under its own power. We have no details on injuries. President trump making major changes to its cuba policy. And changes on daca. We have amnesty issues.

Charles President Trump rolling back obamaera cuba policy, cracking down on individual travel and crash loads to the communist regime. And dropping the hammer on the obama era immigration policy, formally canceling the daca program that was designed protect the parents of Illegal Immigrants. There joining me to discuss. Crystal ball. Daca for the audience, it was never implemented, by the was one of these programs where they thought it was an Amnesty Program and encouraged Illegal Immigrants to come into america with their children so they would not have to leave. Its a setback for us. Daca protects the children. Dapa which protects their parents is gone. Its a my knowledge setback for us. Charles for who. Those of us in the immigrant community. Its a major setback and well need congress to fix. This is not something the president can fix easily. Charles former the obama put this out there on his own it was a Court Decision that stalled it. President trump has the ability legally to say lets remove that. They have done that. And the courts stepped in with all the republican governors with getting it eve enjoined in court. We hope coming out of the midterms well get some progress. Charles beginna, you live in san diego, and you have seen this play out. If you say, hey, you illegally entered our country, you bring children or have children here, you dont have to leave. Whats to ever stop america from controlling its borders . Nothing. I think you asked the perfect question. Thats why we are a nation of laws. We have borders like every other country on the face of the earth. When you make arguments against even enforcing the rule of law, then you make arguments that we should have no immigration policy at all. No other country does the kinds of things for immigrants pat we do. They not only come here. Many of them are dependent on the taxpayers dole. Come in legally and we want you. But coming in illegally has got to change. Eliminating dapa is a step in the right direction. Charles your thoughts on all the things that happened today, reversing some of Barack Obamas cuba policy and eliminating dapa which was part of the Campaign Promise thats people think its part of an overall Amnesty Program that encouraged illegal immigration. Todays announcement by the president was great news. I was there, i was excited to be there as the son and grandson of cuban immigrants who fled the island with not much more than the clothes on their backs. This is a long time coming. At least 8 years. All hes doing at the end of the day is enforcing existing federal law which President Trump and his administration chose to ignore and grant the most liberal form of interpretation of the law and allowing an economic stimulus to the castro regime. The president announced he will have targeted policies so the people of cuba will benefit, and not the dictatorship. Thats what all of us want at the end of the day. Its fair, and im glad the president kept his word and did what he dead said he was did what he said he was going to do. I heard the dictatorship is quite nervous about the announcement. Charles they have read all the economic rewards. Perhaps this will fix it sow the cuban people have a shot at economic freedom. One democratic operative in new jersey is calling for open season on republican congressmen. De well be right back. Liberty did what . Liberty mutual paid to replace all of our property that was damaged. And we didnt have to touch our savings. Yeah, our insurance wont do that. Well, there goes my boat. You can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. Liberty stands with you™. Liberty mutual insurance. . Charles amid the overwhelming calls for unity following that gop targeted baseball practice shooting, a new jersey democratic strategist james devine is spewing antirepublican rhetoric, not just spewing it. Hes preaching pure hail. Check this one out. Joining me now to discuss, jillian melchior, Lawrence Jones and Rachel Campos duffy. You wrote this in a local new jersey paper, this is huge, in the aftermath of what we saw. Disturbing, not only saying hunt republicans, hunt republican congressmen but saying that the gop is inspired a class warfare, that we cant be surprised if theres violence, and he doesnt feel that bad for scalise, given that he didnt support gun control. Youve got somebody here espousing violent ideas, violent rhetoric and disturbing this is happening on a local or state level. If it were happening to a u. S. Senator, wed know and wed be able to take on the ideas. Locally, they have a chance to fester and make an impact. Charles to your point, he did also, to your point, ill share his thoughts on scalise, he said i have little sympathy for the republican congressman who got shot today because he viciously opposed president obamas efforts to support gun violence and all but 15 other members of the house of representatives. So rachel. How ironic, someone complaining about the gun lobby, and gun reduction and violence is advocating to go out and actually hurt, harm, hunt republican congressmen . I dont have to tell you, charles, this is personal for me. Im the wife of a congressman. Events of this week, have been absolutely i cant explain how we feel at home. Its just unbelievable. And whats interesting too is that one of the congressmen who was at the baseball field said he felt hunted. I think its important for us to note that these are not crazy people. This man that is in the article, the man at the baseball field. I dont think theyre crazy, they are filled with hate. And i think the hate comes from a rhetoric thats coming from the left and a strategy that says that this president isnt legitimate. That this election isnt legitimate. Theyre stirring up these feelings. We see Kathy Griffin holding up the head of the president , and by the way, she never apologized to the president , she apologized to her instagram followers. Theres a dehumanization of the other side, and i think fra
