ed: welcome back. it is time for the political roundtable. joining us is a marian marsh and rob gray. >> president-elect trump is

investigation into hillary clinton despite campaign promises. is anyone surprised? >> many wondered if common sense would prevail when donald trump was elected. in some sectors of trump world common sense is prevalent. there is no good reason to go after hillary clinton. he is backing off. >> are you surprised? >> say about it. it is that apart and injustice. number two, hillary clinton did nothing wrong. the only presidential candidate under investigation throughout the campaign and to this day is donald trump he was under an intelligence investigation for ties to russia. the only campaign under investigation is the trump foundation. >> the emails meant nothing?

the facts are that donald trump is under it and intelligent investigation. one other person on the trump foundation, donald trump, and the trump are the only ones under investigation to this day. the media did a poor job throughout the campaign in covering this year we are finding out more about donald trump. >> is the for nancy pelosi's leadership tomorrow? president obama coming out strong for the former speaker. president obama: i cannot speak highly enough about the former speaker. she combines strong, progressive values with extraordinary political strength. >> as of this taping, some members of the massachusetts

donald trump values loyalty and mitt romney went after trump harder than anyone. even brown went after him after the access hollywood tapes. if you go into the administration you must toe the line. we will see if they do is they get picked. >> i think scott brown is a member of the donald trump fraternity. he knows the secret handshake and everything. mitt romney is that is wise tablet meant republicans want him as secretary of state. he would be different than scott brown. we will see who gets it. >> you're almost implying that trump does not want him a secretary of state? >> i think trump wants people to do what he says. >> what was the purpose of bringing mitt romney down? a dog and pony show?

people make decisions and appointments they do not want to make because they have pressure from outside groups or parts of the administration. >> let me say what rob can't say. it was about trump dragging mitt romney in for the world to see. he probably doesn't have a shot, but to humiliate him and get back at him for the speech he gave. and to send a warning to him. i will lay money on the factth should play by my rules or there will be held to pay. -- we are hell to pay. >> we are taping this before sunday. things could change. >> and antiracism rally, listen to what was said. >> we can disagree on policy and have debates on policy in this country.
