abuses are purged from our political processes. in the years to come. long after i have left this office. i looked at my own calendar this morning as i was working on this speech. it showed exactly 1,361 days remaining in my term. i want these to be the best days in america s history. god bless america. god bless each and every one of you. central to the problems faced by president nixon is the water gate tapes and tangled history. fred graham traces that story. it all began suddenly when an obscure former white house official appeared as a surprise witness before the senate watergate committee. are you aware of the installation of listening devices in the oval office of the president? i was aware of listening devices. yes, sir. when i got the confirmation there was a taping system, i was elated. they would tell much more than i could even remember about what happened in those conversations. my mind is not a tape recorder. it does recall impressions of con ....
again, it s a mixed bag decision. there is some presidential immunity. there is presidential immunity for official acts, not unofficial acts. the way that they ve worded it as we ve been discussing at this table and with our guests is that it does seem to lean heavily toward donald trump s arguments here, that he can do what he wants to do as the president of the united states. let s bring in ken dilanian outside of the supreme court. ken, what do you have? reporter: yeah, katy, i think the analysis here has been spot on. you know, the decision goes a long way to say that the president is not above the law and that private acts, unofficial acts are not immune. but if you look at the implications for jack smith s indictment of former president trump, they appear to be dire because there s a whole section in the indictment about donald trump s efforts to enlist the justice department to falsely- allegedly falsely proclaim there was fraud in the election, write letters t ....
jesse: very special edition. fox news alert jesse: the stage is set and we re less than two hours away first presidential debate of the year. these two men hate each other. but hate will not win the debate. the lincoln douglas debates counted seven in total lasting over 21 hours. while the distinguished doug s also a hurled insults claiming that lincoln s radicalism destroy the union. the republicans respondent responded with whit which propelled him to the presidency where he saved the union. the kennedy nixon debate changed the way americans chose their president. kennedy was a long shot playboy mismatched against the two term v.p. as soon as the camera lights came on, kennedy s tan youthful complex fitted in a well-tailored suit with perfect posture looked presidential while nixon, still recovering from a bought of the flu and a banged up knee, appeared sweaty and pale and a poorly fitted gray suit, no makeup. 5:00 shadow. kennedy s charm was key. lincoln s cal ....
reporter: we do know that something that president trump had been considering, what we re being told by senior administration officials the deputy attorney general was confirmed two weeks ago, he had time to look over james comey s turn your, and we have seen the letters which are essentially an indictment of the handling of hillary clinton s emails. they said they no longer had faith in comey s ability to lead the department, they took this recommendation and he drafted this letter. but there s questions about the timing of this, why this is all happening now, it s information that president trump has celebrated in the past, but it s serge not new information. the letter that the president sent to former fbi director comby. can you explain what it cede said? reporter: i want to read you the portion that i think is particularly confusing in president trump s letter to comey, in this he s dismissing him. he said that while i greatly appreciate you informing me on three se ....
in an investigation that implicates either me or my campaign because you re my attorney general. it s my justice department and what s more, you can be a hero to conservatives if you ll investigate my vanquished rival. when we meet with parliamentarians from emerging democracies we always urge them when you win an election, you dote seek to jail the losing side. here our own president of the united states is trying to do exactly that. how big a deal is it fundamentally? well, it s a big deal in this respect. it s further evidence of a corrupt intent on the president s part. further evidence that he may have violated the law by obstructing justice in the firing of comey. but in other efforts, as well. one of the other disturbing signs we saw just today is the president s announcement that he s going to pardon someone who had violated campaign finance laws by surreptitiously exceeding limits. it looks a lot like a message to michael cohen who may also be implicated in exceed ....
