and the big reason john bolton has for not wanting to do that, the big disincentive john bolton has about testifying publicly is the financial incentive he has to say all of his most colorful and most condemning stories about donald trump for his book, his big book which he is reportedly already working on. and the value of that book increases as long as john bolton can hold on to his trump secrets, which also means that the value of that book declines if john bolton is forced to reveal some of those secrets publicly in testimony to the impeachment inquiry and long before he can publish his book. so it seems unlikely that john bolton will show up for his deposition next thursday. even if he's hit with a subpoena in the meantime. in addition to requesting testimony from john bolton the impeachment inquiry has sent requests for testimony to john eisenberg, the top lawyer for the national security counsel and michael ellis, asking them for appear for depositions monday. fiona hill, president trump's former top russia aide on the national security council testified earlier this mont she met w

>> well, john, thank you for having me tonight. and i have to say i don't work for president obama anymore, but i can pretty much guarantee you he was not thinking about president trump while writing a eulogy. that said, we have reached a really strange point in american life where if you say nice things about someone, if you say someone has integrity or they're honest or they're honorable or they're not a racist or they're respectful to women, people say, whoa, you're attacking the president. and that says something pretty remarkable about our president and about where we are as a country right now. >> when he says that being nice doesn't make you a sucker or when he goes on the riff about the meaning of "honorable," you don't think in any way that was meant as some kind of a comparison? >> i think that we're at a moment when there are a lot of people who are not living up to their responsibilities. i would point out -- this is my own opinion -- that it's not just trump, right? when you talk about people who are not acting honorab

john is a u.s. attorney. in this casey would imagine the leadership of the department of justice, at least the deputy attorney general, in this case it seems very likely the attorney general would be involved. but in terms of permission and the normal case, a u.s. attorney's office opens grand jury investigations every day. happens all the time. and so this one seems a little bit different, to put it mildly. and i imagine that whatever john is doing is being run up the flag pole. >> do you think that this news tonight and the prospect of criminal charges being brought against intelligence and law enforcement officials who are involved in the opening of this inquiry, what sort of impact do you think that will have, both on the people who are potential targets of this criminal investigation, potential targets of criminal charges if it gets that far, but also other people who are working right now in those kinds of jobs, in the intelligence community and in law enforcement who are working on sensitive investigat

john? >> john: rich edson at the white house with the president returns but did not take any questions. kurt volker was relatively unknown until his name came up several times in the whistle-blower's complaint. the former special envoy to ukraine resigned shortly after the complaint came out. but today, he appeared before house investigation to answer questions about whether the president or anyone in his administration pressured ukraine to investigate his political rival. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge with the report from capitol hill. >> former special envoy to ukraine, kurt volker, navigated congressional security, than a closed-door transcribed interview with house investigators. volker resigned after the whistle-blower complaint alleged he tried to "contain the damage from rudy giuliani's ukraine investigation into joe 100 biden." and that volker advised if you knew ukrainian leadership how to " out navigate the demands the president made to president zelensky dur

attorney general john durham has the power to subpoena and filed criminal charges. keep in mind according to reports from the the "washington examiner," four notorious deep state figures are wrapped up in the investigation, including obama's cia chief john brennan, obama's director of national intelligence james clapper, fired fbi special agent peter strzok, and the author of hillary clinton's dirty russian dossier christopher steele. last night, one of the potential subjects of the investigation who now works at cnn seems awfully nervous. watch this. >> i found that the timing interesting given the increasing heat around the impeachment inquiry. and so the timing is interesting, i'll just let it go at that. >> jason: clapper can try to spend in any way he wants, but john durham is a serious prosecutor and this is a serious criminal investigation. and james clapper is not the only deep state official who should be an this evening now calling on the intel inspector general to investigate leaks from a 2016 text from peter strzok. joining us with more is the author of

there was john mccain. even after the arizona senator's death, the president called him, quote, last if his class. again, not true. then there's former defense secretary and general james mattis who was, quote, one of the most effective generals according to the president until this month, when he was, quote, the world's most overrated general. joining me now is khizr khan, a gold star father whose son died in iraq. he and his wife were attacked by the president and his allies. his son was a 27-year-old army captain in iraq when he was killed in 2004. his actions saved the lives of several others, and for that he was awarded a bronze star and a purple heart. one soldier who served with captain khan in 2016, quote, he didn't wear his heritage on his shoulder. he wore the american flag like we all did. mr. khan, thanks for being with us. i'm wondering what you thought when you heard the president's attacks on lieutenant colonel vindman, a decorated soldier who still carries shrapnel in his body from an ied at

so it's up to john bolton. the official policy of the white house outlined in the letter from the council was no one can talk ever to congress about this. but we have seen in people like taylor's testimony that a lot of people are ignoring that instruction and we'll have to see whether bolton will. many of the many fascinating aspects of the testimony today was that it raised the possibility of so many more people testifying, including bolton. including mike pence. william barr, the toernl attorney general. lots of people implicated by the testimony. >> john i wanted i want to read part wlaf ambassador sondland said last we can. said inviting a foreign government to undertake investigations for the purpose of influencing an upcoming u.s. election would be wrong. withholding foreign aide to pressure a foreign government to take such steps would be wrong. i did not and would not participate in such undertakings. now, according to taylor's testimony today, i mean that's exactly what he did at the behest the presid

regardless, john durham had to let michael horowitz finish this work. i think, when people read the impending report, it'll be very clear why the durham investigation has now moved to t criminal probe, which will allow him to impanel a grand jury and bring in witnesses and ultimately perhaps bring in criminal charges. >> jason: that would be justice in america, but sadly, not everybody wants justice. after two years of hearing after two years of cheering for mueller's witch hunt, jerry nadler and adam schiff are angry that the durham probe is a criminal investigation. they posted a joint statement on twitter saying, "these reports, if true, raises profound concerns that the department of justice under ag barr has lost its independence and become a vehicle for president trump's political revenge." if the department of justice may be used as a tool of political repetition or help the president with a political narrative for the next election, the rule of law will suffer irreparable damage. joining us now is freedom caucus chairman congressman andy biggs a

let's just start with john doe rum. i talked to a u.s. official that said that this shift, this move from an administrative review to a criminal inquiry is very significant. why?e what we know is that attorney general william barr as well as john durham had been traveling overseas. they have been talking to intelligence officials to allies in italy, across the pond in england. there may be development's we don't know about you that caused this shift that moved directly from an investigative group to a criminal inquiry which would d give john durham the ability to subpoena, to talk to witnesses to look at documents, and to impanel a grand jury. so this news is huge. it significant. and we are also going to be looking at right now with michael horowitz, the inspector general, if this report comes out shortly which we expect probably within the next week, after going through all of the classification review and markings, because they willt be releasing it before with very few redactions, that means it's moving forward. horowitz is moving for

john durham with the probe. why is a so important? we can't live in a world where the rule of law only applies to democrats, not republicans. can you imagine if we were trying to impeach a democratic president with this process in the house? bottom line here, if you have two fbi doj lawyers who wanted to be a to win, clinton toulouse, all the stuff would be front page news. if the republican party went to go get dirt on hillary clinton, it would be all over the place. what did we learn? when it comes to america media, doesn't matter how you get trump as long as you get trapped. they are yelling at me rather than yelling at the house democrats were using a process that you could not get a parking ticket for. >> sean: you have your letter being signed on by 46 senators less than 24 hours. we have the breaking news of the justice department investigation that the origins of this witch hunt has taken a dramatic level of seriousness with the real subpoena power and real ability to charge people. we also have just breaking again in the last

but we also -- and on-john durham as -- i don't know john durham as you do, but it would require him to be knowingly going along with that. there are reasons for concern but there are also reasons for us to do what we're not very good at which is to stay tuned and recognize there is so much we don't understand about what's going on here. >> a lot we don't understand, we should not be jumping to conclusions. but kristen welker, it has to be alarming to the democrats running this impeachment inquiry that a whole other criminal investigation to some of the former officials who were front and center in the univer universally-accepted conclusions of the russia probe. and key to this might be john bolton, we're now hearing that lawyers in contact with the house committees are talking about a possible deposition from the former national security adviser. that could be pretty explosive. >> it could be significant, andrea, because he is someone who would be aware of the conversations that were taking place here about ukraine, about those investigations that president trump was asking for. we

and john bell won't. john bell edwards. when it gets close, and they start to call from washington, and schumer and pelosi call, we want you to get rid of the 2nd amendment. he's 100% going to drop the 2nd amendment, you're not going to have the rights that you had or anywhere close. john bell edwards will not protect your second amendment.

attorney john durham. it's now ongoing and is now expanding in size and scope because of new, explosive evidence. tonight fox news is reporting this brand-new evidence goes uncovered during a recent trip to rome with the attorney general bill barr. he was there. he has been there. keep in mind, this probe is focused on whether or not the powerful tools of our intelligence community where weaponized against you, we, the american people and people associated with an affiliated with the trump campaign. whether or not intel officials at the highest level to circumventic u.s. law were outsourcing surveillance against innocent americans by other countries. in other words, they're getting the intel community in italy and australia and great britain to do things they couldn't do legally here. okay. that would make you guilty of circumventing the laws. both countries are now fully cooperatingbo with the probe. we can report that tonight. according to a report from the "washington examiner," we now have identified f

he was seen as a john bolton guy. he's been known throughout his career as a hard core hard core hard core national security conservative and in particular a real hawk on nuclear issues. he served until today as the senior director for europe and russia at the national security counsel. npr was the first to report his resignation today. and i do want to underscore today per npr's report, quote, morrison is expected to leave his post imminently. meaning he's gone, which is important because his scheduled testimony for the impeachment proceedings is tomorrow morning. so tim morrison, a senior director at the national security council with spaubt for europe and russia tonight resigning in advance of his testimony tomorrow morning. now, john bolton himself recently fired donald trump's national security advisor. it's always seemed interesting to me that bolton was ousted as national security advisor basically the same time donald trump was forced to relent and let that military aid finally go through. that all happened se

john bolton shared a lawyer with mr. kupperman on these matters. maybe john bolton will try to predicate his own behavior and answer to the impeachment proceedings on the results of that legal action. we don't know. who knows. maybe john bolton will say yes i've been waiting to testify. can i bring my notes. the impeachment committees have scheduled bolton for his testimony next week. even though these impeachment proceedings are still at this point behind closed doors, the drama still increases every day. today the rules committee voted on the format and the procedures that the impeachment committees will use to move on to the next phase of their inquiry which will include public hearings. a full vote will take place in the house tomorrow and spoiler alert, it will pass. meanwhile, while that is moving forward kwhy the house is movin toward the public hearings part of the hearings, members of the administration that have proximity are finding themselves getting asked about this stuff. any time they pop their heads above water even if it's not form

people that would be basically south dakota with john brennan. as we have seen in the case of the whistle blower, in order to collect that information directly from the source. this is why they have traveled to italy, why they have also gone to london and they are they're trying to make connections with people across the globe, also in astralia y. remember, they're looking at a number of areas here, sean. more importantly, they are trying to collect that information to see how far the intelligence community and the federal law enforcement community was weaponnized at the very beginning of this investigation. as you know now, with the evidence that they have collected, they expanded that time line and that's going to be very important in the future and i thinks as bee see the ig report come out, especially on the 5 apdocumentation and whether or not bill barr actually release those document that is the president has authorized him to release to the president, i think the united states will have a real eye opener in the next few weeks former new yo

even john bolton said, wait, something's not right here. i think one of the keys here is trump is already trying to distance himself. you'll have to ask rudy about that, the way he did with michael cohen. but trump is the one who we heard on the phone call with the ukrainian president and we're hearing from the testimony, the depositions to dprcongress that he's the one he repeatedly said ask rudy, so he's going to have a really hard time distancing himself from this, and why do you need to turn to rudy giuliani, your supposed lawyer who's not really acting as a lawyer, i want to mfemphasize that, why do you need to turn to him when you have all these other as you say trained expert people because you're doing something the trained expert people don't do. >> we're out of time, but very quickly if rudy giuliani is in trouble, he doesn't have a lot of people to give up other than donald trump. >> you've got to give up somebody who's higher up on the food chain than you, and right above the food chain for rudy giuliani is his client, the presi

pivot to john bolton for you. lawyering for bolton are in talks about a possible closed-door deposition keeping in mind also swirling around this period of time john bolton let go from duties as national security adviser. some republican sources admitted bill taylor's testimony was a game-changer but bolton would be next level. why? so i think that bolton kind of encapsulates why this is not what happened with the mueller report. the mueller report was about kind of these indirect and not establishable contacts between the trump campaign, at least trump himself and russia. the witnesses coming in wb often hostile and not wanting to come in or if they did they could be characterized as biased like michael cohen under criminal investigation themselves. ultimately about conduct during the campaign. this is all very different. these are trump's own people. his own appointees, republicans voluntarily coming in. they are not under clouds of investigation themselves. show it's harder to say, oh, they're trying to get a d

good evening, john. >> bret, good evening. in a new development in the impeachment investigation, tim morrison, the top russia official on the national security council is leaving. i've been told he's been planning to leave for some time. he was brought in by john bolton. the timing is significant. he's scheduled to testify on capitol hill tomorrow in the impeachment inquiry. morrison believed that military aid to ukraine was contingent on ukrainian officials launches an investigation into joe and hunter biden. this as president trump continues to attack witnesses that go to capitol hill and counter his claims about that phone call with the ukrainian president. president trump kept up his criticism of colonel vindman ripping him in a tweet saying the never-trumper witness could find no quid pro quo in the transcript. there were many people listening to the call. how come they including president of ukraine found nothing wrong with it? witch hunt. according to "the new york times," vindman said crucial words were edited out of

we have witnesses all around john bolton who validate his role. bringing john h bolton i think important, and will be a signal to other republicans, republicans in the house, and that's important to the process. it also helps to, you know, get rid of this argument that somehow this is a witch hunt. this is a guy who is deeply embedded in conservative republican -- >> he'sre not a never trumper. >> he really is not. so that will be important to see. in an evidentiary process, you would always want to interview and depose the witness first and then bring him forward in public testimony, so it's not one or the other. i think this might be both. >> what's the political fallout, charlie, if you're a voter in wisconsin which according to poll is one of the battleground states where only 44% support the process. do people have anor open mind a or they locked in? >> i think most people are locked in, but you don't have to move a huge number in a state like wisconsin. if even 3 or 4% of the reluctant trump voters decide this conduct is unacceptable or if t

john brennan, i didn't see the dossier until september and now we find out he had the information in august and we are seeing the same allies here and finally, what is this? a big distraction because what did the clintons do? they colluded with the russians and they blamed trump. what did they do? colluded with ukrainians and blamed trump! it's collusion part two, the sequel. >> sean: they say we should care about foreign interference, they didn't care when obama tried to interfere. they have a dirty russian dossier that was used of the 2016 election, but they only cared about trump russian collusion. now we know that in fact a dnc contractor operative was successful, digging up dirt and sending out anti-trump messages to impact our elections and the dnc did it and we have proof and i don't hear from any of the people that were so concerned with foreign interference. >> you said that the stuff will hit the fan one john durham does vethis investigation of the investigators. i hope that it is true. i hope that when we see how brennan brandon and comey were talking about about christoph

>> if john kelly did in fact say that to president trump, john kelly would have been pretty prescient in the sense that in mick mulvaney he did get a yes man. remember, mick mulvaney's entire m.o. was to let trump be trump and that's precisely what he's done. we heard comments from john kelly where he said he regretted having to leave the white house. it's also true that one's effectiveness as a white house chief of staff is directly linked to the kind of personal relationship that one has with the president. at the time john kelly left the white house, he did not enjoy a good relationship with president trump at all. i don't have any independent reporting as to whether or not john kelly made that comment to president trump or not, but certainly what he said there while seated next to karl rove tracks with a lot of the things john kelly was telling reporters and his allies while he was still in the white house advising president trump. >> stephanie grisham said i worked with john kelly. he was totally inequipped to handle the genius of our president. >> i'm not certain that there are

jen psaki, john dean and jeff toobin. it is starting, especially given ambassador sondland's testimony. he has either seemed to have forgotten about a lot of things that occurred. there was a bunch of stuff he said he didn't remember, or he was flat out not telling the truth. someone here is not being accurate. >> right. and clearly at this point, it appears that ambassador sondland is on one side of this in terms of his story line and everybody else who has testified is on the other. >> and it just so happens that ambassador sondland is a trump supporter, donor to the president and that's how he got the job of ambassador. he's not actually a career diplomat. >> that's true. foreign service officers, career diplomats and we're seeing this with bill taylor, they take meticulous notes and see it as part of their job to protect the institution and also stand between political movements, political appointees and bad actions. this is obviously a terrible case of that, and the national security of the united states. that's what

so, john gantz, good to have you on. thank you for coming on. >> thanks for having me on. >> let me read what you wrote. "the power of the modern presidency is bolton's career legacy. when trump and his defenders question the legitimacy of today's inquiry they're not just speaking bolton's language they're using his talking points." tell me what you mean. >> well, john bolton sort of came up in washington at a time where the presidency was really at its lowest point. right? arrived in washington after watergate. a nixon white house intern and he actually thought congress really overreacted to watergate and spent much of his career sort of much of the 1980s defending the president and the white house from investigations into foreign policy. he fought against iran/contra. actually fought against congress' invest sgigs a drug deal. as the impeachment fight shapes into a battle between congress and the white house over the ability to hold the president accountable for foreign policy it's hard to imagine john bolton coming ou

former cia director john brennan will join us tonight. we'll ask him about the trump roads that lead to putin. including donald trump's abandonment of the kurds and how that serve s vladimir putin. a point that was made strongly today by some republican senators. speaker pelosi stood up to donald trump and said "all roads with you lead to putin." after an incoherent rantly dr b donald trump which she described to reporters this way. >> go ahead. >> on the part of the president was a meltdown. sad to say. >> what we have to be melting down about, there's the bipartisan resolution that passed the house of representatives today with 129 republican votes condemning donald trump's abandonment of the kurds. and there's a new devastating impeachment poll for donald trump. donald trump is the only president in history who wakes up every day bracing for new devastating re-election polling and at the same time new devastating impeachment polling. the most dangerous number of all for donald trump is going up. in a new gallup poll, 52% of americans s
