him in the first place. al he has to do is push up this matter. i didn t know musical cohen was going to do that. so his base will most likely believe him. his base does not care about this russia investigation. they re very skeptical of it. quickly i would note at the end of the day if there was evidence to suggest he was somehow in the room for some of these meetings as nbc news reports, bob mueller doesn t care about political implications. we will see. julia manchester, kevin cirilli, stay with us. we ll talk about the inaugural funds next. meanwhile, michael flynn is suggesting he was duped into lying to the fbi. i just got my cashback match,
you put a witness like michael cohen on the stand, you better have some corroboration. they must have something, otherwise they wouldn t make these allegations, these prosecutors. but where are the tapes? where are the memos? where are the e-mails? look, i m not sitting here defending trump but as a prosecutor who s done this a long, long time, he is a problematic witness. kevin, something that really stunned me this morning, listening to another show and different commentators is one person said trump s best defense at this point is to stay as president. well, look, two things. first and foremost, i interviewed lanny davis, who is the lawyer/communications person for michael cohen earlier this week. he told me that michael cohen is ultimately going to wait until after the conclusion of bob mueller s investigation to release whatever additional information he has. but the second point that i would raise to guy is essentially bob mueller doesn t
attacking an american hero that guided this country so ably through the after math, if they don t think that bob mueller is five steps ahead of them, they are fools, tear constituents should be ashamed they sent those children up to the hill. because that s what they are. they are humiliating tems, they re trying to undercut the rule of law and it doesn t ends well for them. you said it, though, bob mueller doesn t care, he s got his head down going his job. joyce vance will be on the show later today still ahead on morning joe, republicans are moving full speed ahead with the tax cut bill despite calls from democrats to wait until the new democrat from alabama is seated. that ain t happening. plus, as we have been mentioni mentioning, republicans trying to undermine robert mueller and
russia on an energy project, allegedly texting it was good to go and sanctions would be ripped up. flynn s lawyers are denying it. is this going to be about following the money, you think, all of this? absolutely. you almost have the impression to follow the money, when you do so, you will find that michael flynn first of all, mueller is already aware of his money endeavors, which is probably why he had enough leverage to convince him to take a guilty plea. he had a partisan based interest, removing the sanctions that were imposed while he was still a civilian, although he may have violated the logan act. you also have somebody who was trying to have an actual financial benefit from an actual policy. in both accounts, you have corroboration, someone with a
more, nothing less. if we re going to make john conyers leave, the longest serving member of congress has to resign. then al franken should go too. he s saying the same standard should apply to everyone, except roy moore, does that make much sense? it s literally true that the voters of bama will make this decision, but you know, what he was being asked was what he thinks they should do, and who he thinks deserves to be in the congress. the only people who could fire al franken accept outside of any disciplinary proceedings are the voters of minnesota, that doesn t stop his colleagues and others from weighing in and saying whether they think this is acceptable behavior for somebody who is inned united states senate. you do hear you hear this from both sides, this has become a politicized issue. why should we have to abandon roy moore if democrats are
