Answer academy, recited a garbled version of the claim made by his ally. Its a shame whats happened with the fbi. But were going to rebuild the fbi. It will be bigger and better than ever. But it is very sad when you look at those documents and how theyve done that is really, really disgraceful. And you have a lot of very angry people that are seeing it. Theyve found tremendous things on the other side. When you look at the Hillary Clinton investigation, it was you know, ive been saying it for a long time. That was a rigged system, folks. All right. In isolation, its actually hard to figure out what hes even saying. But its not hard to figure out where the president picked up those Talking Points that he was fumbling around with. Those Talking Points have been airing around the clock on trump tv. Its also hearing them directly from people like congressman matt gaetz, a republican on the House Judiciary Committee who
took a Ride On Air Force One with the president last week. He personal
cannot fire mueller. he would have to get rod rosenstein to fire him. people would go out in the streets and say this is not acceptable. it s interesting that you say that, i saw this, walter shaub, who was head of the office of ethics for a while until he resigned, said this. this weekend i m stocking up on portable phone charges, warm clothes, and gear needed for when we take the streets. i m concerned the assault on the rule of law is coming over the holidays. do you share that kind of concern, that what we re heading for is some kind of genuine constitutional crisis that would require some kind of mass civic response? i think it s a possibility. the reason i think it won t happen is because trump s advisers understand that even if mueller is removed, it doesn t stop the investigation. the investigation keeps on going. if fbi agents have identified criminal activity for example on jared kushner, that keeps on going.

report that trump continues to reject intelligence that had captured putin s specific instructions on the operation. trump scoffed at the suggestion that his candidacy had been propelled by forces other than his own strategy and charisma. joining me is msnbc terrorism analyst malcolm nance, author of the plot to hack america. that last nugget from the washington post story, it was so striking at an intelligence level, that the u.s. intelligence apparatus appears to have intelligence of putin giving direct instructions over this operation. what s your reaction to that? well, that s a significant piece of information, if it s true. it s quite possible that it is true, because you don t actually have to go and expend resources to be at the tippy top of collection inside putin s office. sometimes you can downstream information that s given to
mayor de blasio was easily reelected last month by a 35-point margin, like not even a contest. president trump and his family were not in new york for that election. but they did attempt to participate. unfortunately the daily news reports that melania, ivanka, and jared s votes did not count. the first lady correctly filled out her absentee application as you see here. but when it comes to her actual ballot, election officials say she did not sign the ballot envelope. trump s daughter ivanka also managed to botch her ballot, she didn t mail it until election day which was too late to be counted, officials said. her husband jared kushner, he didn t mail his back at all, according to the board. so that s not going to count. that makes it 0-3. how about the president himself? officials say donald trump filled out his ballot correctly, but if you look at his absentee
