TRUMP GOES ROGUE ON MUELLER,RESIGNATION ON THE WAY

new reporting Chuck Schumer the leader of the Democrats in the Senate says the headline

we must protect Robert Muller and what about those new leaders in the

house Mike Emanuel with new reporting on that Mike well chef Chuck Schumer's saying that

he finds the timing of all this very suspect he says any attorneyMgeneral

should not be able to interfere with the Robert Muller Russia probe inM any way Schumer was

talking about the

election shakeout the midterm election and was asked about this breaking news was handed

to him here's his reaction from literally moments ago protecting Muller and

his investigation is paramount it would create a constitutional crisis

if this were pre lewd to ending or greatly limiting the Muller investigation and I hope

President Trump and those he listens to will refrainM from

that Jeff Sessions a well-known figure on Capitol Hill was the United

States Senator representing Alabama for 20 years so a close colleague for a

number of years with a lot of these lawmakers Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn a member

of the Judiciary Committee saying moments ago quote

attorney general sessions has selflessly dedicated more than 40 years to serving the people of

Alabama and the nation as our country's top law enforcement

official he has been integral in fighting the opioid academic epidemic keeping violent

criminals off our streets and supporting victims those who know him his

commitment to the rule of law and his deep and abiding concern for our country so bottom

line a lot of shock on Capitol Hill because this is somebody they

served with for a long time although they did expect that there would be a shake-up

coming and now the focus of course will be on confirming a new

Attorney General with all these things going on in the world Mike Emanuel thanks are we

approaching a constitutional

crisis I think we're on the verge of that what raises my concerns as a person has been

so vocal against the investigation that was going on now

putting in charge a day after the election Democrats sounding the alarm after jeff sessions

is pushed out as Attorney General some on the Left are calling

for an emergency hearing on his firing as well as his temporary replacement suggesting

that Matt Whitaker has been hostile towards the Muller

investigation joined now by South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham

Republican and member of the Senate Judiciary Committee who was also with the President

Trump today at the official swearing-in of Road judge Cavanaugh senator always good to

have you with us thank you for being here thank

you you see you heard the reaction from Senator Joe Manchin and I would just remind you as

many have been reminding you today of what you said back

in July of 2017 here's this if Jeff session is fired there will be holy Hill to pay any

effort to go after Muller could be the

beginning of the end of the Trump presidency unless Muller did something wrong so given

where we are now what do you say now so when was that point you I of 2017 changed

yeah so what I've been saying for months is that everybody every president deserves an

attorney general they have confidence in and they can work

with I like Jeff Sessions I've known Jeff for a long time I hope he

goes and runs for his old Senate seat in Alabama it's clear to me it's not working was not

working between attorney

General Sessions and President Trump so for months now I've been saying after the election

if the president wants to change Attorney General's he has every

right to do so I spent most of the morning with the president to my good friend Joe Manchin

congratulations on winning your race I am NOT alarmed at all about mall are being interfere

dwith I think mr.

Whitacre was a good pick I think he's going to be as fair as impartial as Eric Holder

and Laura rattle Lynch work the bottom line is

this is hysteria more than it is anything else I am here to tell you and everybody else

that mr. Miller will be allowed to do his job and hopefully that investigation will

come to a conclusion here pretty soon here's what Nancy Pelosi said she said

it's impossible to read Attorney General Sessions firing as anything other than

another blatant attempt by President Trump to undermine and end the special counsels

investigation did he give you any assurances did you discuss this at

all today anything you could share with us with regard to that I am highly confident

that the attorney the the interim attorney general is going to

honor the ability of mr. Miller to finish his job I hope he'll do it sooner rather than

later and Nancy Pelosi is looking this at this through the eyes of

somebody hates Trump that finds evil at every turn that's the San Francisco perspective

I can assure you if the shoe were on the other foot

and this was a Democratic president

wanted to pick a new Attorney General nobody would say much about it at all is there any

chance that Mark Whitacre who as I'm sure you have been you know

hearing about has said a few things that have raised eyebrows in terms of the scope of the

investigation he has said that it shouldn't go outside of the campaign

it should not extend into the finances of the Trump family and a president Trump he

just you know thinks that that's out of the purview of where this

investigation has gone is there anything in what he said in the past

that concerns you about his ability to be the interim Attorney General or indicates

to you that he has any intention of limiting this investigation

in any way absolutely not the point he was making is that the special counsel doesn't

have writ large he has confined I think to his mandate

and that is to investigate whether or not the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians

during the 2016 election in an illegal well whether or not there was any

obstruction of justice not to look at every deal that the president had

as a private citizen before he became a candidate I agree with that but here's the point mr.

Mulder I think is in the final stages of doing his report I have a

lot of confidence in Bob Muller I'm going to meet with the interim Attorney General

mr.

Whitacre next week and I'm gonna have him assure me that he's gonna let

mr.

Muller do his job and if there's any interference you'll be the first to

hear about it on fox news I don't think that's going to happen I'm not concerned about that

if I were I would tell you do you think that mark that Matt Whittaker

is going to be an interim Attorney General as he is right now or that it's possible that

he could keep that position I guess look ahead to the confirmation process

for me a number of names thathave been put out there Chris Christie

Pam Bondi trey Gowdy also mentioned on that list how do you see this working out I'd hate

to have to choose between those three because there are all such good

candidates I talked a pretty good at length with the president about the Attorney General's

selection he deserves someone

that he trusts that has confidence in but the American people also have to have confidence

in this person and they gotta get through the Senate we're going to have an increased

majority in the United States Senate I don't expect many Democrats to help you

know everybody who is talking about Jeff Sessions now the Democratic side

all voted against him so this is just politics Jill mentioned discredit voted for Jeff Sessions

so there are a lot of names and you mentioned three there's a lot

more than that maybe mr.

Whitacre

makes his way on the list I don't know but I do know this I voted for Holder and I voted

for Lynch because I think every president deserves the ability to

make qualified appointments including Donald Trump Brett Kavanaugh was qualified by any

measure what they tried to do to him was despicable so I'm going to

stand by this president's ability to make a selection this choosing you know

I wonder if you think that going through this process of a new Attorney General could turn

into a similar thing than what we saw in the Cavanaugh investigation

or do you think that the election that we saw this week has maybe changed some people's

minds about how to

go about that well the second kick of a mule normally doesn't help you if you don't realize

but now that the effort to destroy Brett Kavanaugh by Liberal Democrats on the Judiciary

Committee actually destroyed trump state Republicans then you're not really paying much attention

to what happened so there will be a pic by the president

he will have the same right as President Obama and every other

president to pick somebody that he has confidence in and they have to get confirmed if they

try to do to the Attorney General what they did to Brett Kavanaugh

then it will it will backfire as it did with Cavanaugh all right

before I let you go as you know after the midterms the day after pretty much the midterm

the presidential 2020 race sort of and Michael Moore I don't know

you know if you listen too much to what he has to say but you know everybody pretty much

weighs it more closely I'm sure you do you said that he thinks

the president Trump is a tumor on our democracy that was one of the nicer things that he said

and he also had some suggestions for who he thinks should be

the candidate in 2020 I'm sure listen to this and let me know what you think we have to

run a beloved American yeah we have to rely on a beloved Obama became beloved the night

of that convention and

he was beloved from that moment on Eddie when he gave that speech we need to run somebody

up an answer Eddie whether it's it's got to be like a Michelle Obama or

it's got to be a Solis Oliver see what do you think about those ideas so far senator

the Michelle Obama is a very talented person I'm sure she'd be a formidable

candidate it's going to be hard to beat Trump one of the reasons President Trump is doing

so well it's because of people like Michael Moore who remind

us at every turn what would

happen if you put the Democrats in charge people like Michael Moore would have a bigger

say in your life not many people are jumping up down at that idea

that Michael Moore will be a frequent guest of the White House you know he's eeling pretty

good because he looks at the midterms this has you know Michigan

Pennsylvania Wisconsin alternate blue those are formidable changes that we saw in the

midterms in terms of 2020 quick thought on that for me I think president Trump's going

to be hard to beat midterm

we basically defied expectations we actually drew the majority in the Senate name one time

that's happened maybe once in the last hundred years and the losses

in the house were a lot less than historical so I'm ready to govern and I'm ready for 2020

I'm all in for Trump and here's my advice to the Democrat Party

keep listening to Michael Moore he will steer you in the right direction

Senator Lindsey Graham always a pleasure sir thank you very much good to see you tonight

thank you thank you very much

SUPREME COURT DROPS MASSIVE NUKE ON MUELLER,HE GOT SERVED - Duration: 10:03.

SUPREME COURT DROPS MASSIVE NUKE ON MUELLER,HE GOT SERVED

Supreme Court blocks Muller subpoena Chief Justice John Roberts state a contempt order

Sunday night marking the first time the Supreme Court has intervened

in the Muller inquiry daily caller.com reports very little is known

of the case which reached the justices on Saturday because the matter has

proceeded through the federal courts under seal meaning strict confidentiality prevails

over every detail the scant facts which are available about the case are these a grand

jury issued a subpoena to an unnamed company owned by a foreign

government sometime during the summer of 2018 that firm referred to in court

filings as the corporation has been fighting the subpoena in federal court since August

the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit released one of the few public

filings in the matter on December 18th since the entity is owned by a

foreign government it's not to quash the subpoena under the protections of the

foreign Sovereign Immunities Act the DC Circuit rejected those arguments and found that the

corporation must comply with the subpoena the company appealed that

decision to the Supreme Court Saturday the corporation faces a fine

for every day that it fails to abide by the subpoena Robert's Sunday night decision temporarily

halts the

non-compliance fines the Department of Justice must submit a response to the foreign companies

application by December 31st the Chief Justice's order is

not a decision on the merits of the dispute nor is it necessarily

significant the justices often issue a temporary reprieve of lower court decisions called an

administrative stay

while the full court considers how it wants to proceed the Muellers connection to the

case has not been definitively established several facts indicate the special

counsels involvement CNN saw senior Muller lawyers return to the

Justice Department immediately after the conclusion of a recent secret hearing in the matter an

entire floor of a Washington courthouse was sealed in

advance of that proceeding a highly unusual move on a separate occasion Politico overheard

lawyers and court officials discussing this matter with specific

reference to the special counsel what's more judge Greg cats Asst president Donald Trump's

first appointee

to the DC Circuit recused himself from this case Katz's was a lawyer in the White House

counsel's office in the early days of the Trump administration where

he handled topics bearing on the Muller Pro

during his confirmation hearing the judge told lawmakers he would recuse himself from

cases relating to Muller's investigation the case has moved through the

federal courts at an unusual clip very few disputes reached the Supreme

Court just four months after they arose in a trial court as is true
