i covered the benghazi hearings and they went on for four years. the final installment was 11 hours. mike pompeo was a member of that committee. >> it is possible for congress to overreach in its investigations. you only have to look at the clinton administration. for all the investigating house republicans did over six years, they never produced one single criminal charge, there was never a referral to the department of justice against anyone. whatever the president's personal criminal liability may be, and it appears to be great, six of his associates have already been indicted or pleaded guilty to crimes. you have had four cabinet members resigned in scandal, two sitting cabinet members continue to be enmeshed in scandal. the justice department will start an investigation into a plea deal that alex acosta, the labor secretary, signed off on that allowed a sex offender to get off with an extremely light sentence. that's not even to mention the policy scandals, one of which we're hearing about today, the child separation policy. so it's hard to ev

when they trumped up the benghazi investigation or remember fast and furious or those of us that served in the clinton administration certainly remember what that was like. the idea that we would be doing a serious investigation about foreign influence over high government officials, including the president, about the influence of money, not just from russia, by the way, but from countries like saudi arabia and that we would finish the important work left undone in that disgraceful report the republicans issued whitewashing the russia interference in the election. we will do serious work. i'll tell you what, judge us by our work. we got started yesterday, so it is a little early to be name calling. it is a fine group, and we will do a good job. >> let's listen to what congressman schiff said about investigating the president's finances. >> the president has gotten used to the idea that congress doesn't do oversight because for the last two years the republican majority as essentially been missing in action when it comes to being a co-equal branch of government. but that ended with the m

launch plenty of investigations of the obama administration, including the years' long examination of benghazi which a lot of democrats saw as a very personal attack on secretary of state hillary clinton. in an attempt to damage her presidential chances. bret? >> bret: john roberts live on the north lawn, john, thanks. we will soon know a little more about what fbi agents were looking for in a raid of michael cohen's home and office last year. a judge has agreed to reveal parts of the search warrant. but the judge also ruling that some items could and should remain secret because making them public could jeopardize other ongoing investigations, including those surrounding cohen's alleged campaign finance crimes. the president's pick for attorney general is one step closer to having the job. early this afternoon the senate judiciary committee approved william barr's nomination along party lines with a vote of 12 to 10. the nomination now heads to the senate floor where barr is expected to be confirmed. alabama democrat senator doug jones said today he would vote for barr. barr served as attorne

over benghazi? the list go on's. it seems right now that we are in this investigatory political climate. it could hurt the party. >> melissa: nothing ever comes of these investigations. >> leslie: i would agree with you. >> melissa: elizabeth warren continues to be dogged over the controversy of her past claims of having native american heritage on official forms. why the firestorm is hardly over. and the questions raised by her viability is presidential candidate. >> are you think about dropping of the race? ♪ let's take a look at some numbers: 4 out of 5 people who have a stroke, their first symptom... is a stroke. 80 percent of all strokes and heart disease? preventable. and 149 dollars is all it takes to get screened and help take control of your health. we're life line screening... and if you're over 50... call this number, to schedule an appointment... for five painless screenings that go beyond regular check-ups. we use ultrasound technology to literally look inside your arteries... for plaque which builds u

claim privilege over what -- what you can take to court, let's think back to when republicans had the benghazi committee, they established a lot of precedent about what congress can go after from the executive branch. this is also the first opportunity for democrats to plant some of those markers as well. >> all three of our guests have agreed to stay with us right quick as we get in a break. >>> coming up, the president once warned investigating his finances was off limits. house democrats may be preparing to go there right away. they would like the president's tax returns. if you have medicare, listen up. medicare alone only covers 80% of your cost, leaving you to pay the rest. changes to medicare are no laughing matter. if you don't know the plans available now, you might end up with a doctor you're not so comfortable with, or even worse, being forced to pay thousands in medical expenses due to coverage limitations. that'll be how much? understanding all the options, let's face it, it can be downright confusing. that's why i love healthmarkets, your insurance marketplace. they search thousa

in the initial post was about judge jackson, that she's an obama-appointed judge who dismissed the benghazi charges against clinton. he posted a plea for people to post money for his defense as well. how does he defend himself on thursday? >> the statement of apology, i've never seen a defendant do something like that before. it's unprecedented. i think the defense that he'll use in court is he'll say i didn't see the cross hairs. i didn't intend to threaten you, and he'll have that plausible deniability because of the nature of the post, but it fits in too neatly with the type of tricks that this particular defendant is known for using. and i think it's very unlikely that this was something that he did casually. this really is his effort to put the judge into a position where she'll rule on something, and he can then use it to argue that she needs to step down from the case. she's tough. she's hard nosed. she's seen a lot of other evidence in this matter. he does not want her to be the judge. >> you're making the point i was going to ask you about. judge jones is known for being somebody w

and the obama administration, anybody forget benghazi? this is normal. this is what congress does. it's not always a good look, but they investigate the other team. there's a lot here, a lot of questions that need to be asked about obstruction of justice, about the russia probe that needs to be vetted out. that's got to -- >> then if i'm a republican and i'm sitting on the judiciary committee and i don't have any link to russia, why wouldn't i sit back and say let this thing play out? >> because they don't want to be primaried and they want to play to the fox audience. that's w-- it's better to say i on tv. it plays well on fox. >> really? >> yes. and one other thing. i don't think he can mention executive privilege, use that. the justice department oversees the detention center in brooklyn. >> we covered that earlier this week. >> abuses, no heat, a justice league in new york. >> almost a week. >> we're hoping people don't forget in light of all that that she is attorney general. he needs to be asked about a number of things including the detention center in brooklyn. >> i hope he
