2:35 am
joining us this morning, elliott hoenig, cnn analyst. good to see you. so bill barr, this is not his first rodeo. he knows how to assure the senate that he will let bob mueller do his job, allow that report to see light of day. what is the most important question these senate democrats need to press him on? >> so the senators on both sides of the aisle need to focus on obstruction of justice. his memo focuses on the obstruction of justice theory. barr writes that it cannot be obstruction of justice for the president to have fired james comey and to pressure james comey to drop the michael flynn investigation. in the memo barr calls this theory fatally misconceived and he calls it asinine. so are you saying he is free to fire whoever he wants, is the president free to try to stop an
2:36 am
investigation if it threatens you? and in fact barr says the president may shut down an investigation without legal recourse even if he has his own personal stake in it. now, barr has tried to an tis pay the this and he said my theory of obstruction is a narrow one. yeah, but it is exactly what mueller is looking at. >> supporters of barr will say that he has made these private analyses before to different administrations where he has offered mi his expertise. but senator mark warner, this is what he says. our country deserves better than an attorney general who auditioned for the job by attacking that investigation. under our constitutional system, no someone above the law, not even the president. we need an attorney general willing to vigorously defend this principle. >> yeah, the audition i think is the big concern. why did he write this memo. it is a 19 page single-spaced memo, must have taken dozens if not hundreds hours. and you vetted it through the
2:37 am
trump lawyers in advance. and he did it when he was a private person at a law firm, on his own, uninvited. so it is a strange exercise. and he is pretty aggressive in his attacks on mueller. and he shouldn't be allowed to run away from his own words now and i hope that the senators again republicans and democrats alike don't accept these sort of coached up lawyered up dodges that we see so often. put his own words in front of him from that memo, say do you still stand by what you said here. >> but not only do they have the numbers, they have matthew whitaker and that is why senate democrats ultimately have to confirm bill barr. last thing they want is matthew whitaker overseeing this russia probe at a time that the mueller probe is made public. >> i agree william barr is more qualified and has fewer problems with his impartiality. i guess the question then, political question, are you satisfied with someone who is better or do you want someone who is sort of ideal. is better good enough or are we going to hold out from the
2:38 am
democrats poimts of vi s point someone who is perfect. this is a republican president and he gets to nominate a republican. he has the credentials, but the memo raises a lot of concerns. >> let's talk about house democrats for a minute. you start hearing people talk about maybe subpoenaing the notes from this interpreter who was in this one-on-one meeting with the president and putin. there were five face-to-face meetings with putin and the president. we didn we don't know what was said and the secrecy of the president actually taking the notes and saying don't ever tell anybody what happened in here, this is what congressman jim hime said. >> the white house will claim executive privilege, that's what they did with pretty much all of the white house witnesses that we called in. so we're in a world of litigation and contempt
2:39 am
proceedings and working on what exactly executive privilege comprises. and it will be a while. >> the president could just clear it up and release those notes say exactly what happened. but do you think there is a legal standing at all to try to get those notes? >> it is an interesting legal question. if there is a subpoena served and very likely trump's team will assert executive privilege, now we're into unknown legal territory. here is my read on it. on the one hand executive privilege is designed to protect communications between the president and his own top advisers. his lawyer. his attorney general, his cabinet members, his chief of staff. and to argue that now we should extend that to foreign heads of state? that is a serious extension of executive privilege and i think that it seems unlikely. on the other hand, this is sort of conversely, the richard nixon decision from 1974 is really the leading decision we have on executive privilege. and the court there says it is designed to protect military diplomatic and national security
2:40 am
secrets. and so sort of unusually i guess president trump might say look at the nixon decision, yes, president nixon exerted executive privilege and lost. but you can't expect to have meetings with attorney heads of state if they believe that the interpreter will have to testify publicly. there has to be some privacy. so it will be an interesting legal and policy back and forth. >> because democrats even wanting him to claim executive privilege gives them a talking point as we go this into 2020. >> it is the legal and the political all mixing together of course. >> nice to see you. thank you. desperate times for some of the 800,000 federal workers going without paychecks as we now are in day 25 of the partial government shutdown. tampa international airport teaming up with local charities to set up a food bank for
