Conversation thats happening across the country. Senator chris murphy, thank you very much. That is all in on this tuesday night. Good evening alex. Liberal democracy, not a foregone conclusion apparently. Woo hoo, these times. And thank you at home for joining me. Today the former Special Council that investigated President Bidens mishandling of classified documents was ruled by house members on capitol hill. Former Special Council has declined to charge President Biden with anything, concluding officially nothing President Biden did was worthy of prosecution. That did not stop republicans in congress are making a four hour circus out of the testimony today. Thats because the hearing wasnt actually about matters of law, it was about political points. The reality is the only reason joe biden accidentally taking some classified documents with him, the only reason that matters at all is because donald trump willfully, purposefully took classified documents with him when he left office an
Who investigated President Bidens mishandling of classified documents, a man named robert hur is grilled by House Members on the capitol. Concluding nothing President Biden did was worthy of prosecution, but that did not stop republicans in congress from making a fourhour circus out of mr. Hurs testimony today. Thats because todays hearing wasnt actually about matters of law. It was about scoring political points. The only reason Joe Biden Accidently taking classified documents with him when he left office, and the only reason that matters at all is because donald trump woefully, willfully, purposely took documents with him when he left office and then tried to obstruct justice to cover it o all up. These two cases are not the same, but just dont take my word for that. Here is Special Counsel hur reading from his own rt on the matter. Unlike the evidence involving mr. Biden, the allegations set forth in the indictment of mr. Trump if proven would present serious aligating facts. Keep g
actually going very well, sir. so i appreciate your concerns. again, i think the house of representatives is going to say otherwise. but your use of this to attack me personally is wrong. well, it went on like that, and a short time later congressman jordan asked rosenstein about a report that he had somehow threatened staffers on the house intelligence committee. mr. rosenstein, did you threaten staffers on the house intelligence committee? media reports indicate you did. media reports are mistaken. sometimes. but this is what they said. having the nation s number one law enforcement officer threaten to subpoena your calls and e-mails is downright chilling. did you threaten to subpoena their calls and e-mails? no, sir, and there s no way to subpoena phone calls. well, i mean i m just saying. i m reading what the press said. i would suggest that you not rely on what the press says, sir. i didn t ask if there was no way to do it. i asked if you said it. if i said w
the civil rights division at the justice department. cynthia, i d like to begin with you if that s okay, and that is this. the center, the center left, and the left woke up this morning after the fog of the news about justice kennedy leaving the court with the realization that this president will be selecting a judge, a man or a woman who will be seated on the court presumably in time to potentially adjudicate the president of the united states. what s your thinking about that? well, i think their first thought was this was this would probably be somebody who would help overturn roe v. wade and that abortion would be illegal within the next year. that was the first thought. the second thought is, of course, you know, one more tragedy for what s happening to our justice system, and it doesn t appear to me that there s really a way to stop it. the president is meeting with
democrats have been wondering aloud if there would be a conflict in him appointing a supreme court justice who would ultimately may be asked to decide whether the president, if robert mueller subpoenas him or tries to compel his testimony and he refuses, that would go to the supreme court. can a president be indicted? that s a question that would go to the supreme court. if the president fires robert mueller, what, if any, recourse congress or other investigators would have. that s also a question that s open legally. so for the president to be in the position to appoint a person who is ultimately deciding that, you have senators like cory booker openly saying that that would be inappropriate and a way to push back on that. we also know that the president has reportedly at times grumbled that neil gorsuch, justice neil gorsuch hasn t been as loyal to him as he wanted. so the question is arising, will
