Republicans want to force a vote as early as june that could protect dreamers. those moderates would be about four signatures away from reaching a threshold to bring up the vote. conservative republicans said they don t want any vote even if it s bipartisan for dreamers. the infight may have contributed to a loss last week. when the house freedom caucus defied paul ryan on a farm bill which touches on these issues as well. paul ryan also in the news tonight as i reported because he said this hour he won t go to the big gang of eight meeting tomorrow. maybe we ll get to that as well. but starting on immigration as promised, maria, what does this mean to you. i think not only is paul ryan in over his head. i think he had the idea that he was going to assume the speakership and basically do something with it and he hasn t
Come out and basically talk about ms-13. they can actually report crime. but this is the complete opposite. what he s trying to do is not only a slippery slope, it s dangerous. because all of a sudden you put literally a target on anybody that looks brown, that does not look, or maybe speaks with an accent that does not like like what your typical americaning loos like. that s what he s doing. at the end of the day, both he and mccarthy understand the best way to gin up the base, their only shot is doing a defunct immigration reform that nobody has any interest in actually passing. tie it in with the lame duckness and paul ryan going m.i.a. tomorrow. he s having trouble with the immigration bill, he s skipping the meeting tomorrow. he s going out with a real wimper. oh, man. stick on some shades and roll back the convertible and drive one out of town to janesville pretty soon. you think this is made out of
As the chairman of the house intelligence committee he s entitled to that second briefing. the odd man out is trey gowdy, the chairman of the house oversight committee, trey gowdy as someone who is not a member of this exclusive club does not have the same clearance that these other eight individuals do. so what would make sense, what would be rational and reasonable would be to have a gang of eight meeting that all the details could be shared and if there needs to be a second meeting, have a second meeting with trey gowdy because he doesn t have the same clearance. the only way this makes sense is if somehow gowdy and devin nunes are entitled to more information than the gang of eight. and that doesn t make sense. that doesn t seem to be the case here. something smells fishy about this.
it could be. i bring it back to the parallel of an ordinary criminal case that americans face every day. it is. but ordinary people don t have the power that the president has to say you must have this meeting and turn over this information. a judge would ordinary people. laugh in their face. john i turn to you. and i m not going to make a john legend ordinary people reference. go ahead. let s remember devin nunes, recused himself from his own committee s organization because of the coordination he had with the white house in the early days. so it s not surprising that people would be concerned that his motive might be to collect information that the white house and other people under investigation is seeking but cannot get from the justice department. that s his thing. right. that s his thing. that s what he got busted doing.
His motive might be to collect information that the white house and other people under investigation is seeking but cannot get from the justice department. that s his thing. right. that s his thing. that s what he got busted doing. yet now he appears to no longer believe he needs to recuse himself. he s obviously played a part as a as a defender, protector and, you know, conspirator, i don t mean that in a criminal sense, but conspirator with the president on this russia situation pretty much from day one. you know, and as far as these meetings go, can you imagine robert mueller meeting with chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, sharing information with them about the investigation and saying we ll have a bipartisan meeting later. like in the middle of the begbe benghazi probe, no.
