Transcripts For MSNBCW The Last Word With Lawrence ODonnell 20170614

Can we fire the prosecutor. What happens if we do file the prf. Thats the thing theyve got to be worried about. Now after 24 hours the question of firing the special prosecutor maybe has been settled by sarah. She said on air force one while the president has the right to, he has no intention to do so, problem is, the president doesnt have the right to, so im not sure where we are on this. You were right about this, on twitter within the last 24 hours people need to stop saying they cant imagine that trump would. At this point, if you can not imagine something this president would do, you have in a coma since he was sworn in. Most of that is a left over verbal tick when we had president s where you could imagine what they would not do. And we get people saying if that happens, were in way worse shape than i thought. If that happens, yeah, all those things keep happening. We need to have more descriptive terms for what happened when we get beyond what is previously imaginable. Thats the world that were in now. Here is one, before you go. Here is one the kmen tatecommen. They seem to have grown out of that particular observation. It will come back, dont worry. Dont worry. Thank you, rachel. As rachel said, the senator will join us tonight. Well get reaction exclusively here on the last word to what Jeff Sessions said about the senator in that Senate Intelligence Committee Hearing today. And in the matter of Jeff Sessions versus james comey, only one of them can be telling the truth. Did you ever discuss director comeys fbi handling of the russia investigation with the president or anyone else. Im not able to comment on that. He dodged everything about the interaction. Has the president invoked executive privilege. He has not. There is no legal basis for this stonewall. I am not stonewalled. Youre not answering questions. Youre impeding this investigation. It suggests that i participated in nichol lugs is appa any collusion is deniable. I just dont remember it. He has a serious amnesia problem. If i met with the ambassador. Do you like james bond movies. The fact that he continues to not be able to testify in these conversations, but the president suggest that theres something that he could be hiding. Im not able to be rushed this fast. It makes me nervous. Today general Jeff Sessions refuse to answer senator questions about his conversation about the president s decision to fire fbi director james comey. Americas chief Law Enforcement official could site no legal basis whatsoever for his refusal to answer those questions. And that was best demonstrated by the best prosecutor on the Intelligence Committee, former San Francisco District Attorney and former California Attorney general and the most Junior Member of the Senate Intelligence committee, senator harris. You referred to a longstanding doj policy. Can you tell us what policy it is youre talking about. Well, i think most cabinet people as the witnesses you had before you earlier, those individua individuals. A policy that goes beyond just the attorney general. Did you ask that it be shown to you. The policy is based on the principle im not asking about the principle. Im not able to answer the question. You will rely on that policy. Did you not ask your staff to show you the policy that would be the basis for your refusing to answer the majority of the questions that have been answ answered. And so with last weeks Senate Intelligence Committee Hearing in which administrative refuse to answer questions, once again, established, there was absolutely no legal basis for those refusals and she established beyond a reasonable doubt that senator mccain just cant stand listening to her ask questions. Hes not a regular member, by tradition, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services committee is offered basically an honorary membership on the Senate Intelligence committee. So he can sit in on hearings they regard the chairman of the Armed Services committee as their guest in effect. John mccain tries to intimidate into banging his gavel when hes pursuing a point with witnesses. It could be john mccain is 80 years old. But there were plenty of fast talking senators at that hearing today who are trying to squeeze as much as they possibly could in to their time limited questions and john mccain had no problem at all with any of those men who were doing that. What is it about Pamela Harris that bothers john mccain so much. What could get possibly be, there they are, theres the two of them, what could it be. Why is she the only member of that committee of john mccain thinks he has to teach lessons about how to ask questions. She is infinitely better at asking questions than john mccain ever has been. Is he jealous of her skill at crossexamining witnesses. Is it something personal. What . What could it possibly be. Maybe she just makes john mccain nervous. She made plenty of criminal defendants nervous when she was District Attorney in San Francisco and when she was attorney general in california. And in the senate she seems to make older men from Southern States very nervous. Did you have any communications with russian officials for any reason during the campaign that have not been disclosed in public or to this committee. I dont recall it. But i have to tell you, i cannot testify to what was said, as we were standing at the Rep Convention before the podium where i spoke. My question is i dont have a memory of that as it relates to your knowledge. Did you have any communication with any russian businessmen or any russian nationals. I dont believe i had any conversation with the russian businessmen or russian nationals. Are you aware of the communications. A lot of people were at the convention. Its conceivable no, sir you let me qualify it. If i dont qualify it, youll accuse me of lying. I need to be correct as best i can. One on one communication with the director of the fbi. He did not mention to me that he he just said he was uncomfortable, i believe, with it. Jeff sessions also confirmed, as you just heard, james comeys testimony, that james comey did not tell the attorney general what the president said to him when the president kicked everyone out of the oval office so he could tell james comey that he hoped the fbi director would let Michael Flynns investigation go, just let him go. Jeff sessions also corroborated james comeys testimony that the next day, after the president said that to james comey, he complained to the attorney general that the president s one on one communications with the fbi director were inappropriate and Jeff Sessions agreed that those communications were inappropriate. But Jeff Sessions appeared to disagree with james comey on one major point and that is that was the reason that Jeff Sessions recused himself from the fbi investigation. Today Jeff Sessions testified that it was a simple decision made just by following the rules of the justice department. This is the reason i recused myself, i felt i was required to under the rules of the department of justice and as a leader of the department justice, i should comply with the rules, obviously. As simple as that. Here is what james comey said under oath about Jeff Sessions recusal. Our judgment, as i recall, that he was close to and inevitably going to recuse himself for a variety of reasons. We also were aware of facts that i cant discuss in an open setting that would make his continued engagement in a russiarelated investigation problematic. According to james comey, it wasnt a by the book recusal. We were also aware of facts that i cant discuss in an open setting that would make his continued engagement in a russiarelated investigation problematic. James comey just said that he had classified information about Jeff Sessions recusal. And almost immediately after giving that public testimony last week, james comey did give testimony in a closed setting to those same senators who probably did ask him about that classified information that he had, but it was part of what forced Jeff Sessions to recuse himself. Someone didnt tell the truth and Senate Intelligence committee about Jeff Sessions recusal. James comey or Jeff Sessions. It is now the special prosecutors job to find out which one of them was telling the truth and if one of them was committing purgy. Joining us now, nick acreman prosecutor, hes partner in the law firm. Hes also with us. Hes former chief of staff. And former senior aid to president obama. He is also a former chief counsel of the Senate Judiciary committee and was chief of staff to attorney general. Two weeks in a row, twice now that these men on the committee have tried to silence senator harris. Its troubling. Its disturbing to watch. Shes one of the only women on this committee and, you know what lawrence, at the end of the day it tells you exactly what you need to know about todays gop. Lets go to the issue of the day with the senators, do democrat senate, any way thats the refusal to answer these question that senator harris. Others were getting a legal basis for it. The attorney general said that he was he was not using executive privilege, but he was trying to preserve any future use of executive privilege that he might want to use on questions that were being asked today. I will like him to take out the constituti constitution show me i just dont want to answer that it will not hold up. Thats why senator harris was saying, where is this policy written and as soon as she did that as any good lawyer, you could see the witness, suddenly, basically didnt know what he was talking about. If you take one example of one conversation he refused to answer, which is when the president asked everybody to leave, except for james comey, he refused to answer as to what it was that the president said. I mean, there are only two ways that he right to refuse to answer. One is executive privilege. The other is attorneyclient privilege, both of those are designed to encourage the free flow of conversation back and forth. The idea that President Trump said everybody get out of here, i want to speak to this guy, so i can tell him to drop the investigation, the idea that that has anything to do with a legitimate privilege is absolutely absurd. I mean, that was absolutely nothing more than old fashion stonewalling. I mean, that is what he was doing. I dont recall. Im not going to answer. And then the questions he does answer, he gives contradictory, i thought senator reed did a great job in bringing out the contradiction in the firing of comey. I mean, not the firing. You know, the firing of comey and the basis of that pretext with the Hillary Clinton email situation. I mean, he brought up very clearly that back during the campaign, Jeff Sessions was gunho, yeah, thats right, say everything you need to say to the public and sessions excuse for all of thats though, he was confused. He couldnt understand the question. Well if you read that question, it is a very simple straightforward question. Were going to get to that in the next segment with senator. A lot of this stuff turns on executive privilege and a lot of that can be things that voters out there dont, you know, want to figure out one way or the other. But that scene that Jeff Sessions was a part of where the president says to everyone get out of the room, including the fbi directors boss, Jeff Sessions, wants him out of the room because he wants to Say Something to the fbi director that the attorney general shouldnt even here, that is a moment that anyone out there can understand and Jeff Sessions did not say anything helpful to the president about that moment today. No, thats exactly right, lawrence, first of all, Jeff Sessions today was not even a credible witness. He lied to congress under oath about his meetings with russia and so thats number one. Number two, as youre mentioning in this panel, is that he didnt even really recuse himself when it came to firing of comey. He was incredibly involved in the whole process. And answering the basic questions today, he could not even do, so what we saw today was really sessions was performing for an audience of one. He was behaving more like a personal lawyer. Let me go to by the way, its interesting where they agree, where sessions supports and corroborates comey, but on this recusal issue, comey made much more of it than Jeff Sessions did. Comey indicated, apparently, that there was classified information that he was possession of that informed the need for Jeff Sessions recusal and Jeff Sessions explained it had nothing more, according to the book, it says if youre involved in somebodys campaign and theyre being investigated, youve got to recuse it was just as simple as that. To point it out. Director comey last week testified under oath that there were very specific things, some that had been reported, some he could not talk about in public that he thought made it inevitable that the attorney general would recuse himself and cant believe one of those specific classified things was he worked on the Trump Campaign that was not it was not that specific and not that classified. Clearly theres a big difference between what sessions said today of the Intelligence Committee and what comey said last week and, you know, its a number of outrageous things today. Sessions also said he had not yet been briefed. I want the russians to under mine our electoral system that he hasnt really followed that, he has not paid attention to that. Hes the person who is suppose to oversee our chief domestic Counter Intelligence system. Hes a person that would bring a case that will stop the russians. The fact that hes blasae about the russians, that was very troubling today, lawrence. Nick acre man and karim here, thank you all for joining us. We have breaking news, report indicating that President Trump did, indeed, think about firing the special prosecutor. We reported here last night that it was mass hystericahysterical. The white house staff pushed back on the desire and that is why the special prosecutor has not been fired, at least, not yet. Well have more on that coming up. Also our exclusive interview with senator al franklin who will respond to what Jeff Sessions said about today in Jeff Sessions senate testimony. Come close, come close.

If there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump Campaign communicated with the russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do . Senator franken, im not aware of any of those activities. I had been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and i didnt have not communications with the russians. I did not have communication with the russians. That part of Jeff Sessions answer turned out to be untrue. He was later reveal today have had multiple communications with the russians. You played a key role in where Jeff Sessions stands now and why hes of such interest to the senate. Lets listen to what attorney general sessions said about you in the hearing today. Senator franken asked me a rambling question after some six hours of testimony that included dramatic new allegations that the United States intelligence community, the u. S. Intelligence community had advised president elect trump that there was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between trumps surrogates and s intermediary for the trump surrogate. I dont think it was rambling. It was a pretty direct question as if those allegations are true, what would you do, meaning, would you recuse yourself and then he didnt answer that question. He answered his own question. Did i meet with any russians, he said, no, he had not. And that was not true and then he didnt correct it until the Washington Post, seven weeks later came out saying he had met with the Russian Ambassador twi twice. Then he had a press conference and at the press conference where he recused himself, finally, he did say that, you know, if i should have probably slowed down and said that i had met with ambassador twice. So that means that at that time, he has spoken with them twice. Now why this story has changed. He said he didnt. He is the head of the justice department. He had justice over the Judiciary Committee and i would like to be able to question him as part of my oversight responsibility. Senator Elizabeth Warren has tweeted today that because attorney general sessions refused to answer key questions about his discussions related to the comey firing that she conclusion in her series of tweets was, as our top Law Enforcement officer, the ag must be truthful and uphold the law. Sessions cannot continue to serve. He should resign. Do you agree with senator warren on that . Well, ill certainly i think he should testify before the Judiciary Committee, first. Im not sure. I guess he didnt claim executive privilege when he refused to respond to questions about his conversations. So i would like to get him before the Judiciary Committee so we can ask him questions. Lets listen to what he said today about his participation in the comey firing even though he had recused himself from the russia investigation. I do not believe that it is a sound position to say that if youre recused for a single case involving anyone of the great agencies like dea or u. S. Marshals or atf that are part of the department of justice, you cant make a decision about the leadership in that agency. Senator franken, your reaction to that, explanation. The president said that the reason that comey was fired was because of the Russian Investigation and he participated in that firing. So that was in violation of his recusal and that wasnt about some other investigation and it wasnt about the hillary matter. It was about the Russian Investigation, thats what the president said. I think the president knows why he fired comey. He should come before us. He is the attorney general. Sir, just to go back over your exchange with him that has become so controversial since you had it. Today his explanation for his answer, which was, obviously, incomplete at the time was that he was responding to this breaking news story that you were presenting to him and within the context of all of that new information that he was hearing that he had never heard before, he felt like his response was to the elements of the breaking news story you were talking about and he was not concentrating in that response on his own record of interaction with russian officials. I dont expect you to know about it. But if it is true that members of the campaign met with the russians and communicated with the russians during the campaign, what would you do, meaning, would you recuse yourself. And he answered, i, myself, did not meet with the russians and, of course, he did. And then he could have any time, during the seven weeks, he could have said, oh, i forgot to say that, but he didnt until Washington Post printed it and he said in his press conference, oh, i probably, you know, if i had just slowed down, i should have mentioned that i met with ambassador twice. And since then his story has changed, that he had not remembered the that he met with him until he was informed by the post. To go back to senator warrens judgment, based on his totality of testimony over this year and particularly this ye today, that he should resign. Is the reason why you dont share that judgment at this point. I would not come to that judgment until he had a chance to explain himself in front of the Judiciary Committee and i would think that he would be happy, since he should be happy to do that. If he refuses to do that, senator, to your committee. I think that becomes a problem and i would ask chairman and Ranking Member to compel him to. Senator he is the attorney general. Thank you very much for joining us tonight, really apleesh yat it. Thank you, lawrence, it is lawrence, right . Senator franken is the arthur of the new book giant of the senate.

Take on every day get 0 for up to 72 months on 13 models. Didnt state anything from that meeting that caused him to have such mistrust. Im not able to speculate on that. Yeah, its such a mystery. Here is why every reasonable person in the world would know by january 2017 that when meeting donald trump you are meeting a liar. I have people that actually had been studying and they did not believe what theyre finding. You have people now down there searching in hawaii. They cannot believe what theyre finding. I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down and i watched in jersey city new jersey where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. How to keep it safe when the World Trade Center the world trade excuse me. I lost hundreds of friends. All i did is point out the fact that on the cover of the National Inquirer theres a picture of him and crazy lee harvey ozwald having breakfast. Ted never denied that it was his father. Joining us now, john, National Affairs and analyst and msnbc, republican strategist and political analyst. Here is a guy who lied about having lost hundreds of friends on 9 11. He lost none. He went to zero 9 11 funerals, james comey knew that before he met him. He knew he was meeting someone who would lie about anything. James comey was a very savvy washington political operator and good judge of character as prosecutors tend to be. I think its clear from the moment that donald trump won election in november, that comey recognized that he knew he had been investigating collusion between the russians and the Trump Campaign since july. And i think he recognized from a very early phase that there was going to be serious jeopardy for his job and he recognized the person that he was dealing with and some of the character issues that you have so demonstrated and talked about just now and last several years and i think he came loaded for bear. And steve, today in the Senate Intelligence Committee Hearing. It wasnt so much the partisan divide is interesting to watch. Im not sure what they really disagree on. They just talk about different things. When a republican was talking, theyre talking about Something Different than what the democrats are talking about. You know, i do look, i think lawrence, as we watch this investigation online over time, we will find out exactly what happened. And i think that republicans that try to plo politicalize this. That come out of this white house on a daily basis, the vice president. From the white house spokes people. I think there will be a high price to pay and remember, though much of the base is intact, theres significant downward pressure on Donald Trumps numbers which are now in the mid 30s. We have a georgia six special election coming up. That seat flips to the democrat, youll see widespread political panic in washington, d. C. Talk about that for a moment and how there are always these road markers that are outside of the hearing environment and theyre outside of the White House Press conference environment. And Johns Campaign in georgia is one of those things. How much does it mean if look, if the republicans win the seat, it means nothing, nothing changes. It it was what was suppose to happen. If the democrat wins that georgia seat, what does that do to peoples posture in these investigative committees. I think it certainly, as steve just suggested. Theres a very fine grain calculation going on in every republican congressional district, among every sitting republican in the house of representative and every rep senator. Looking at numbers and saying, trump was at 37 lets say right now. We think the real trump base is probably 25, 26, 27. Thats a ten point theres ten points more for him to fall. If you see osoff win, which is the first real straight up genuine, not a kind of rushed race, not a race where democrats have no chance, this race has got fully funded. Its going to be the most expensive house race in anybodys memory. If he wins this race and Donald Trumps trajectory continues in the direction. Theyre not going to see widespread panic. But cal cue liagss thats being done. Whats the tipping point. Is it 32. Is it 31 where it becomes suddenly it goes from too expensive to leave him and when you hit that tipping point. Its going to flip really quick and the whole context for everything were seeing is going to change. Steve i want to get your reaction to the breaking news tonight documenting that the president has, indeed, been thinking about firing special prosecutor Robert Mueller. And for now, at least, for now, at least. The white house staff has talked him out of it. Well, it would precipitate enormous governing crisis in the country, return to 2018 elections into a referendum around the issue of covering up the russia investigation that the american people, i believe, want to get to the bottom of in terms of understanding what happened during the elections. It would put every republican on the spot. It would rupture the republican party. You would have republicans to think that it is a grotesque abuse of power, that its an over reach, to be compelled to finally speak out and come forward. Versus those that would act as the highest calling that would be donald trump apologyist and support their oats to that calling. It will be enormous political event. It will kill the entirety of his domestic agenda. Its what we would talk about every hour of every day going forward, absent in International Crisis that his recklessness could precipitate, of course, on any given day also. Steve schmidt. Well take a break here. Thank you very much for joining us tonight. Coming up, well have more on this possible firing of the special prosecutor. And what the man who has authority over that decision said today about the firing of the special prosecutor and the man with authority of that decision is not the president of the United States. [vo] what made secretariat the greatest racehorse who ever lived . Of course he was strong. Intelligent. Explosive. But the true secret to his perfection. Was a heart, twice the size of an average horse. But with my back pain i couldnt sleep or get up in time. Then i found aleve pm. The only one to combine a sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. And now. Im back aleve pm for a better am. After all of this over the past 24 hours the white house is still not issued a statement saying that my comment that the president was considering firing the director mueller that that was wrong or that the president stands by or will keep mueller. So im waiting for that statement just like you are. Thats the man who created it. Christopher, a confidant of President Trump who dominated the news cycle with this comment on pbs. I think hes considering, perhaps, terminating the special counsel. I think hes weighing that option. And as of 10 49 06 tonight Robert Mueller has not yet been fired. The white house was reportedly shocked at the president s firing of james comey. So this time the public reaction to it and this time the president decided to run the idea up the flag pole, the idea of firing the special prosecutor and so christopher did that for them last night. Robert mueller apparently still has the full support, the one person who could actually fire him and that is not the president of the United States, that is Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein. If President Trump ordered you to fire the special counsel, what would you do . Senator, im not going to follow any orders unless i believe those are awful and appropriate special counsel mueller may be fired only for good cause. And i am required to put that cause in writing. And so thats what i would do. If there were a good cause, i would consider it. If there were not good cause it wouldnt matter to mae what anybody says. Tonight on air force one white house Spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders said this when asked about the president firing the special prosecutor Robert Mueller. While the president has the right to, he has no intention to do so. As i said earlier, the president does not have the legal right to fire the special prosecutor. The law allows only the attorney general to do that. When the attorney general has recused him then it would be the Deputy Attorney general. It is the Deputy Attorney general who chose Robert Mueller. Thats the only person who can fire him. The president cannot. Moments ago the New York Times reported that President Trump has been thinking about firing Robert Mueller. Quote, behind the scenes, the president soon began entertaining the idea of firing mr. Muellerings even as his staff tried to discourage him from something they believed would turn a bad situation into a catastrophe according to several people with direct knowledge of mr. Trumps interactions. For now, the staff has prevailed. So is Robert Muellers job safe . Thats the question. Next. Oh, like what . Youre gonna have dizziness, nausea, and sweaty eyelids. And in certain cases chronic flatulence. No sooooo gassy girl. So gassy. If youre boyz ii men, you make anything sound good. Its what you do. If you want to save 15 percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. Its what you do.

I think it was a good choice. John hilemon, Mitch Mcconnell today, right in the middle of the will mueller be fired by the president today saying in effect dont do night every is going to say that to him. The most important piece of the middle east news today was the piece you focus on, Rod Rosenstein saying im not going to fire this guy. This is the guy rosenstein chose. In order to do this, trump is going to have to fire rosenstein, and then he will have to install someone who will fire mueller. Its not going toss just a saturday night mass car. It is going to be a long weekend massacre that has to take place. Steve schmidt is right, if this happens its chaos and bloodshed of the political variety all offer washington. I think there is a chance it will happen. One of the most amazing details from the leakiest white house in history is that the president actually thinks as the times puts it the possibility of being fired will focus the veteran prosecutor on delivering what the president dlirs most, a blanket public exoneration. Yes. This is again another sign of we have made a lot of comments about the fact that people talked this made an astute observation, when trump met someone unlike he ever dealt with before. Bob mueller is comey times ten in terms of recollect attitude, in terms of respect for institutions, in terms of the absence of partisan polarity and all the kind of lunacy that pervades everything in the trump era. Trump has no idea what he is dealing with here when he looks at bob mueller. If he thinks by being ambiguous and issuing threats through cutouts is going to make mueller focus and vindicate him fully, man. Thats a fantastic misread of the situation. Fantastical.
