unfairly. what is wrong with having an overzealous watch dog committee? and isn t getting rid of this office the kind of swampy stuff that republicans across america elected donald trump to get rid of? they re bringing anonymous charges and trying them in a public arena. a person targeted by that has to defend themselves after they ve been attacked publicly when they don t have a right to face their accuser. that s a right that goes right back to jesus himself standing before the high priest. i m going to read it off the screen here, with all that congress has to work on, do they really have to make the weakening of the independent ethics watchdog as unfair as it is? so the president-elect appears to be making the argument that you guys have a lot of other things on their plate. why make this the first move in secret the way it went down last night? i would have been happy to bring that to the floor and let democrats vote on that independently. i think you would have s ....

qu quote, deutsch banks takes its legal obligations seriously. here s an interview with the new york times a couple of months ago, answering questions as to whether his businesses and finances were fair gain. if mueller was looking at your finances and your family finances unrelated to russia, is that a red line? i would say yes. let s get to all of this with our reporters and guests, white house bureau chief phil rucker, with me on set, national security reporter ken delaney. and chuck rosenberg, a former u.s. attorney who worked on the staff of robert mueller and james comb koecomey of the fbi. let me start with those financial headlines. there s a dispute about the facts, but would you surmise that donald trump s taxes are something that bob mueller either has or will seek to which the president and james comey have very different accounts of what happened there. and finally to the deutsch bank discussion that you re having. jay sekulow is another one of the preside ....
peace process, but leaving the specifics up in the air. why does it matter? think back to how this year has unfolded. powell positioned herself, when she came in, part of that wing or faction in the white house. jared kushner, ivanka trump, but since then working to build rips with people like h.r. mcmaster is someone that the president trusts and looks to in some of these big settings and high profile moments. and she has influence here in the west wing. that said there have also been questions about her own sort of positioning or the rumors or speculation of where she wanted to end up. she was widely rumored to have wanted to get back to new york. her family is still there. which is obviously potentially part of what plays into this. but i would note just a couple things here. number one this may be just the start of what we re now seeing year book calling every day in twitter. calling into that yearbook specifically. there is room to question the voracity of beverly young n ....
you come back to it, if they had someone who is more of an alabama democrat, he would have been fine. but on issue set after issue set, he s a democrat and that s a problem in alabama. i hate to tell everyone that. i just don t see how how big of an issue is the abortion issue? i think it s a big deal and hurt him right out of the gate and he s done very little to overcome that. he hasn t looked for issues to find common ground with conservatives. now, i do think one of the things i ll be watching on election night is shelby county in birmingham and that s where roy moore won 63% of the vote in 2012 but lost in the primary. that s an affluent the birmingham suburbs, that s where people that s the target-rich environment for doug jones. if he s going to win, he s got to do well there. he s got to gin up the african-american vote and comments that he made about slavery and harkening back to the days of slavery when we really had family values. and then, also, he s got to ....
