Morning to waiting thats its disgraceful the questions were leaked to the media and claiming the questions show that muellers team looking into a phony made up crime. In case you havent guessed, this is outnumbered. I am Melissa Francis. Here today is a town hall editor and Fox News ContributorKatie PavlichKatie Pavlich. A republican strategist and Fox News Contributor lisa boothe british democratic strategist and Fox News Contributor jessica tarlov. And joining us on the couch today, from a utah congressman, Fox News Contributor jason chaffetz. He is outnumbered. There you go. Youve got a big cheer there from across the couch. That was from jessica. Maybe not. Jason so far, i like this part of the couch better. We got it. Lets dig in. President trump is reacting to the leak of dozens of questions of special Counsel Robert Mueller apparently wants to ask him. If fox news has obtained those questions after fox news first reported them on this morning. If the questions were reportedly read to the president s team in march. If the president tweeting oh disgraceful to the questions concerning their russian leaked to the media. No questions on collusion. I see. If you have a made up a phony crime, collusion that never existed and the investigation begun with a legally leaked classified information. Nice the majority of the questions relate to possible obstruction of justice and several more focus on possible coordination between the Trump Campaign in russia. Kevin corke is light live at te white house. Kick it off. I love the way you read that tweet. Oh, i see. Good stuff. Obviously very interesting list obtained here by fox news. It really doesnt sort of lay out the special counsel strategy here for the bare minimum, it appears to try to build this idea of a possible obstruction case against the president. I just want to share part of the list that we have been able to obtain here at fox news thanks to my colleague john roberts and others who have been working on the story. What did you know about phone calls that mr. Flynn made with Russian AmbassadorSergey Kislyak in late december 2016 . What was the purpose of your january dinner with mr. Comey and what was said . What did you do or what did you think and do regarding the quirky was all of mr. Sessions and what did you think and do in reaction to the news that the appointment of the special counsel . Inquiring minds want to know. If you are a lawyer, you can probably navigate those queries unscathed but white house officials quite frankly are concerned and i think rightly s so. Notoriously offthecuff speaker like the president could walk right into a perjury trap. While the special counsel probe continues to roll on, the president does appear to have had enough at least on twitter my said this. It would seem very hard to obstruct justice for a crime that never happened. Witch hunt. If an investigation the white house argues that was begun by a dossier that was funded by the president s political opponents and also used as part of that as a court request for surveillance of trump operatives during the campaign and the transition. The overwhelming majority of those questions dont focus on the underlying premise of the special counsel which was to focus on the issue of collusion with the russian government. Theres been over a year of investigation. There have been dozens of witnesses, thousands of documents, millions actually of pages of documents provided in zero evidence, not a shred of evidence of collusion during the Trump Campaign in the russian government. So we have been cooperating at the white house with this probe but we are little frustrated that the focus of it is not near where it was created to focus o on. Principal White House Deputy press secretary raj shah standing in this very spot earlier today on fox news making again the argument that theyve been completely cooperative, although they are not saying whether or not the president at this point will answer the special counsels questions in person. Back to your paid melissa a very interesting, thank you so much. Lets bring it out to the couch. Congressman, what do you think . Jason i dont think there was any probable cause to appoint a special prosecutor and i think its pretty rich that Rod Rosenstein writes a memo to the president recommending that director comey be fired, the president except that, fires comey and then is questioned by the special counsel about why did he fire director comey. What a circular thing. I can see the frustration by the president. This is a huge distraction to the country and i think director is beatrice wrap this up as soon as possible. Melissa who do we think link to this . Thats one of the most interesting question is who put these out there and why . Wants to take a crack at that . Katie i am very skeptical of anything that comes out. We have a lot of good reporters doing good work. However, a couple weeks ago, the spokesperson for the special counsel in a rare Public Statement said there have been a lot of reports that have been false about what is happening with a special counsel, what our motives are, what our intentions are. So we do have this list of questions. I completely agree with you, they are essentially making the president justify why he made decisions as part of his job as the president of the United States and you also see again how this probe has gone from collusion allegedly to obstruction of justice and their questions about what other kind of rabbit holes are going to go down. So the force is interesting. We dont know how reporters got these questions, who was leaking them, and i think the source of the question means everything. We will have to see. Lisa even to that point, comeys own memos blow a hole in the obstruction of justice case because it clearly points out the fact that President Trump wanted to investigate potential ties, he wanted to get the bottom of it. He wanted it investigated and as you pointed out, its Rod Rosenstein that was when it laid out the case for firing james comey than he was the one that appointed a special counsel after james comey was fired, not to mention the fact it was james comey who leaked and lied and was the one who one of the special counsel investigation to begin with but we also know that he additionally lied about coordination with the dod as well. To be honest, i have more questions right now about the individuals who have been leading these investigations that i do about President Trump. Jessica i dont agree. There are so many things. First of all, we are leaving out the role of George Papadopoulos at all of this and that this it it it it actually kick off in the summer of june 2016. As for who leaked it, i was listening to an analyst at said the way the questions were written indicate that it was a copy, someone who is listening in on the conversation and not someone from muellers legal team. This is what the analyst is saying that used to work with bob mueller. Im just relaying that information just to raise suspicions. Trumps team had said it was in his legal team but it could be someone close to his administration. Wouldnt put that past someone who was working in tandem with them. So i dont know who leaked it. I think that is the most interesting question right now. Within the questions, you do have obstruction of justice, you do have a couple of collusion questions at the very least. About Sergey Kislyak, mike flynn, about George Papadopoulo papadopoulos. Jason has the Constitutional Authority to do all this. He has a constitutionally elected leader of the executive branch. Jessica so youre asking is of the questions had nothing to do with what the probe is actually about . That list is about three things, collusion, financial crime, and obstruction of justice and at least two of those categories are covered in those questions that have been leaked by i dont know who. Lisa if you think this is, does this even help the president . Katie if you look at the questions as they are written as i know them, they kind of show that this probe has gotten out of control and it is asking questions that dont require any justification from the white house with the president and it bolsters the political case the President Trump should not sit down with Robert Mueller to ask questions. So if he refuses to sit down with Robert Mueller, he can say use all the questions, why would we sit down to answer questions that are relevant to what we are trying to do with the white house in terms of our policy . Melissa if youre talking about collusion, are you saying what is your knowledge of calls that general flynn made with Sergey Kislyak late december 2016, you think that leads to collusion . Jessica i think in building this case and investigating it, absolutely questions about what mike flynn and Sergey Kislyak were talking about. If thats the argument that they have made. Im just saying this is a devoid of all questions about that. And George Papadopoulos is in there, this is a kick off. He had dirt on clinton. Lisa it was also james comey who recently said in the interview when youre a year into an investigation and he basically dont know where its going to end up, you are also incompetent. We are about to hit a year mark for the special counsel investigation. So far, you would think it some sort of extraordinary evidence that proves the case of collusion. We would know about it given the enormous amount of leaks that have taken place regarding russia and the trump team. He would think that we would know about that and back to my other point regarding the obstruction of justice charge, the comey memos that he wrote himself blow a hole into that. Where are we into this investigation that its about to hit the year mark and when is it ever going to end . To be sort of see two scenarios here. None of these questions seem damning or tough at all which says to me there are two possibilities here. Either this was floated by somebody on the opposite side of President Trump to lure him into coming in and sitting down because it looked like it would be relatively easy especially if he didnt plan some of the openended questions or it is someone on the trump team who uploaded them to say this is a bunch of b. S. , theres nothing here, and thus the investigation is not coming. Either way, i am deeply suspicious that these are even the questions at all. What do you think . Katie im very skeptical of anything that comes out of the special counsel and for the special counsel itself to be leaking the questions the press and even ahead of time to kind of blow their own case about what they should be asking. Melissa unless its a decoy. Katie they dont really have any benefit of having these questions out in the public in advance that that what they care about with the public and sing about their investigation. Robert mueller is not listening to any of us when we say wrap it up, hurry it up. Lisa im sure hes watching right now. Katie is going to be done today, thank you very much but i dont think it is a service to the special counsel to be leaking these questions. It does i think politically do a service to the president to have them out there so that Everybody Knows what hes up against. Lisa lets say it is the white house. We dont know if these questions came up in conversations between attorneys. I dont think they just came up out of thin air. Jessica we know there was a call in march. Lisa which these questions came from. Jason these are pretty lame questions. There are things that have nothing to do. The president was elected to do a job. For them to ask questions about was there consideration of granting a pardon to flynn, that something the president can do. Katie the other theme is that it talks a lot about the president s conduct, whether it be in media interviews, whether it be on twitter. Melissa what were you doing when you tweeted. Katie what were you doing when you made this comment about Jeff Sessions or what did you mean when you tweeted about james comeys of the idea that theyre taking all the statements that were made publicly into consideration for this probe shows that they are obviously paying special close attention that Robert Mueller is being very surreal. Lisa would he even remember that . Melissa about what his job really is and thats the point that kim stossel made so brilliantly in the wall street journal last week when she said he needs to refocus around his constitutional power and the fact that everything hes done has been his right under the constitution and that thats the argument they should be making, not getting down into the weeds of these questions. But instead saying of course fire who he wants, of course hes ahead of the justice department. All those things are his constitutional right and democrats are trying to impugn his ability to do the job that the constitution framework says. Jason the core at the head of this problem is that you have an attorney general in name only. Attorney general sessions is nowhere. He cant do his job, he has recused himself out of the most important thing and as long as he is in place, youve got Rod Rosenstein running the place and that is not what i think anyone thought was going to happen. Melissa the president of south korea saying President Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for his role in bringing north korea to the negotiating table. Heads would explode if that happen. This as some have said president obama received the honor for much less. So does President Trump deserved the award . Plus, growing concerns over whether the United States will stay in the Iranian Nuclear deal after the israeli Prime Minister presented what he calls evidence that iran lied about its Nuclear Program. How would it impact President Trumps decision . We will debate. Because they lied. They lied in order to get the deal and theyre still lying. Theyre trying to basically have their yellowcake as i say and eat it too. Patrick woke up with back pain. But he has work to do. So he took aleve.

Katie fox news alert, growing concerns about whether United States will stay in the Iranian Nuclear agreement two weeks before President Trump must decide whether to stay in the deal. If the president again slamming the agreement accusing iran of lying about his Nuclear Program. Benjamin netanyahu on fox and friends this morning. It is a nuclear deal with iran was premised on the fact that iran would come clean and it would admit if you had any Nuclear Weapons program. They didnt come clean. They lied. One deal after another. They are trying to bamboozle the entire world and im very glad that President Trump has said enough of that. We are not going to be hoodwinked. We are not good to be taken for a ride. If we are going to have to do a serious, serious change here to make sure that iran does not have Nuclear Weapons. That means this deal was a terrible deal, it should have never been concluded. Katie supporters of the deal like the European Union representative offer this defense. State of the Nuclear Agreement is based not on assumption of gd faith or trust, it is based on concrete commitment, verification mechanisms and a very strict monitoring done by the eia, released reports that find that iran has fully complied with its commitment. It katie the former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice says that verification process, one of the biggest problems with the Nuclear Agreement. My concern about the nuclear deal has been the verification regime. If anything, that just makes it even more clear that you cant have a verification regime that gives the iranians weeks to clean up the fight before you can go investigate. I think we pulled out now, is not go
