The president of the United States with nobody but the Special Prosecutor and perhaps the president of the United States knows what he has been up to. The way the media has been playing it up. Either the Obama Administration lost its Security Clearance or didnt get Security Clearance and that Wasnt Big News back then. I think we may see the end of jared and ivanka. This is not normal. Lets be clear. It is not normal to have a public spat with the Attorney General over his independence. I agree with what the president said. The president should be telling the Attorney General what he wants done. They tell me they are worried about it because they say this
has a different feel and hes spiraling, kind of lashing out, out of control. Howie is the press overdramatizing these developments . And why are the purpose dids slamming ivanka trump for challenging a question about her fathers accusers. The press remains sceptical over why so few journalists are giving this president credit for chall
department. that s sad as well. i am profoundly sad about everything that s happening here. and it s just really unjustified. the facts do not support his assertions with respect to the investigation that we conducted. i was one of the people at the top of the fbi at the time. and i know we weren t involved in some plot to overthrow the united states dwoft obviously. we were conducting lawfully authorized investigative activities to protect the country from russia. the focus was on russia, not on trying to get political information to hurt the president in any way. so. spare. i find if sad sfl spare me your sadness, baker. the attorney general of the united states is a fox news bot. and we have and it s just it s an outrage. just the first quote you started with, it s like, i think it s troubling when they wire someone -en a they wire people up to go in a campaign. they didn t wire anyone up. it s a complete invention. i mean, the you know, the
dwoft officials now we have to wait and see if they re exactly the same. that s certainly the subject of questioning on the hill today. well that was really a very good friday morning to you. i m jim sciutto in washington. pope harlow has the day off. back on capitol hill, the man setting the interrelation committee rolling. the briefing from the inspector general will happen as washington is rocked by a smoking gun, a series of text messages showing u.s. diplomats appearing to offer a white house president to the president of ukraine in return they wanted an investigation into the 2016 election. into the bidens. a senior ukrainian aid texted about plans to announce that investigation and the visit. quote, once we have a date, we ll call for press briefing announcing upcoming visit and outlying vision for the reboot
neal, good morning. neal has cowritten another op-ed entitled trump s appointment of the acting attorney general is unconstitutional. mr. which isker has not been named to some minor post. he s now vested with the law enforcement community of the united states dwoft. we cannot tolerate an invasion of the textually precise design. senate confirmation exists for a simple and good reason constitution equally matthew whitker is a nobody. so, neal, explain that a little bit. what in the institution would prevent whitker from being the acting attorney general? obviously, he s not gone through any senate confirmation process for starters. yeah. so i m kind of old school about this. i ve always kind of thought attorneys generals need to be confirmed by the senate, that you couldn t just install your own lackeyan.
an attempt to embarrass ivanka trump. ivanka made herself a top dwoft official and she cannot exempt herself from tough questions about the president just because the president is her father. i think what s making conservatives angry about this is we rarely see the left being asked questions like this. they were untouchable subjects with hillary clinton. howie: she did answer the question, but kristin says it was and obnoxious question but not an unfair one. cathy: the made what does have the right to ask the big questions. the sad part is we aren t
