• 1:15
  Speaker 1: on Bloomberg Radio. Hillary Clinton's email investigation maybe the end
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: of the investigation for the Clinton campaign, but according to
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: some of our reports, it may actually unify the Republican Party.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Here to tell us more, Megan Murphy are a Washington
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: bureau chief for Bloomberg News. Of course Washington home to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Bloomberg ninety nine one, and she joins us from our
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: studio in Washington. Megan, explain a little bit about what
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you believe will happen with the information and the ongoing
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: UH conversation. I guess is no more investigation about the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton's email and her email server. This is a
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: controversy that's going to continue to roll on and be
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: an incredible troubling element of her campaign, not the least
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: of which we now have FBI Director Comy who's going
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to test testify tomorrow up on Capitol Hill after Paul
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Ryan called for this. And it's really this extraordinary um
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: political and also factual situation, because what came out in
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that extraordinary statement by Director Comy earlier this week was
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: basically a whole lot of new information about both the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: kind of emails that Hilly Clinton was handling, how they
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: were treated, who knew about it when that essentially debunked
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: so many of the claims she's made in defense of
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: this practice for all the months that this has been
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: going on. So while, of course she's not going to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: be criminally charged now, which was the biggest threat hanging
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: over the entirety of her campaign, the actual statement was
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: so damning in terms of the extent of what they
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: found this operation to actually have entailed. Well, as a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: matter of fact, Megan, that's what struck me as I
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: listened to call these words yesterday saying we can't charge
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: her with anything because she didn't break the law, but
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: terrible judgment. He also said that the State Department, and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I guess that includes Tooy Clinton, she was ahead, No,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you couldn't say, oh, this is what it's like in Washington,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: he said, oh no, other government agencies do not conduct there.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: They're what security policies and the use of emails in
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: this same fashion again, it seemed very damning. Will will
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: her campaign say he was being political? It would be
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: really difficult for them to say that. He is known
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: as a man of extreme integrity, who's respected by very
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: senior figures on both sides of the aisle, and always
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: has been viewed as a really good person to handle
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: this because he is so nonpartisan. Now, what we've been
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: found fascinating and interesting was the reaction of figures like
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Paul Ryan calling for these hearings because they were so
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I think surprised by the extent of the damning revelations,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: as you just said, and then there was no sanction,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: no prospect of criminal charges. You look, you expect Donald Trump,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: her who's going to oppose her, to say what he's
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: going to use and use this as a way to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: really galvanize his campaign, which has struggled over the past month,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: that you would expect. What will be truly fascinating to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: watch is how much the rest of the Republican establishment,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: who really singled him out for praise um does in
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: response to these findings where which we're so damning, but
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: yet stopped sharp, stopped short of an indictment. Megan, I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: wonder if you could just spend a little time telling
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: us about Bernie Sanders and perhaps a meeting or get
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: together that he had with House Democrats who booed him
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: at one point, and tell us about the what his
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: role is right now, whether he's going to endorse Hillary Clinton. Yeah,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: poor Bernie getting booed. Now, this was over a meeting
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and just all of his colleagues really asking him, and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: frankly at this point demanding that he withdraw from the race.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: They find that this is becoming a very unsavory prospect, indeed,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: where he's actually led his flock almost to the steps
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of Philadelphia for the Democratic Convention later this month at
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: this point, and that they the longer he stays in
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: he's doing damage, and not only just to Hillary Clinton
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: as a nominee, but to the party. Now, Bernie Sanders
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: counter would be, look what I even achieved over the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: past day, where we've just had Hillary Clinton come out
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: with a college affordability plan that actually has tremendous echoes
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of what Bernie Sanders has proposed and also what the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: President has proposed. And he believes he is still doing
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: a really strong job at shifting the agenda to the left,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: shifting the agenda towards the progressive way, and we saw
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: in the platform. We saw it on minimum wage, which
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: came in at fifteen dollars a long time Bernie Sanders Uh,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: keep a tenant of his platform. We saw it on
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Wall Street and how firm the language was on Wall Street.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: So he believes he still has that role to play
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and really pulling the party to the left for the platform.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: But the issue is what she wants to do is
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: keep that sort of movement that has solidified beyond find
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: him on board. But it is becoming a little bit
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: more difficult as it becomes. You know, the tension is
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: ratting up of when he's going to do it, how
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: he's going to do it, and now he's going to
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: keep that same sense of energy among his followers. Uh.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Top Republicans in the Senate and the House, Mitch McConnell,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump is or is the mood, the the dynamic
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and a shift a bit now, Uh in terms of
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: more of a raw prochemont. I'm not sure that we're
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: going to get there when we still have Trump out
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: there saying things like that Saddam Hussein was an effective
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: killer of terrorists. I mean, I think the Republican establishment
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: still really has issues with the fact that he cannot
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: seem to control the message and he cannot seem to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: control frankly, things that come out of his mouth. So
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: there's still a waiting came in progress to see how
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: this convention, this extraordinary spectacle we're going to see in Cleveland,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: which is going to have athletes, which is going to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: have singers, which is gonna have banned, which is gonna
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: have political political speakers. Almost as an afterthought, it seems
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: um how that's going to play out and what speaking
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: most people are gonna get. We also have the veep steaks.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: The vice presidential steaks are in full swing. Now, you know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: we've had Bob Corker and Joni Ernest basically withdraw from
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: consideration from Mr Trump's team today and we'll see what
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: shakes out there. Well, it's so fun to be Megan
