Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Confused, one goal of mr. Giuliani was pretty evident. Ive been sitting here looking in the federal code trying to find collusion as a crime. Its not. Collusion is not a crime. I dont even know if thats a crime, colluding about russians. Okay. You start analyzing the crime, the hacking is the crime. That certainly is the origin of the the president didnt hack. Of course not. Thats the he didnt pay them for hacking. As you know, it has led the meeting with the russians. If you got the hacked information from the russians here at cnn and you played it would you be in jeopardy of going to jail . Of course not. Okay. The president didnt hack and he didnt pay for the hacking. So thats an interesting thing to say. That, though, you that see there, is an idea that trumps allies have trotted out before.

The days top stories from around the world, from politics and money, to sports and pop culture. On matters that have nothing to do with the campaign. I think that even mr.

And this trial now underway, it is expected to l
Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. One day before President Trumps former Campaign Manager is going to stand trial in Federal Court for Money Laundering and bank fraud in relation to his work for a prorussian Political Party in ukraine and one day after the president went on possibly his most aggressive twitter rant yet about the mueller investigation, which he called the operation an illegal scam, trumps lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, was out today wildly, desperately spinning to try to accomplish two very specific things. One, move the goalposts to say that collusion is not a crime, and two, to get ahead of the emerging storyline of a Trump Campaign strategy meeting that maybe occurred two days before the Infamous Trump tower meeting that had promised dirt on Hillary Clinton. In two interviews this morning, interviews that were often confusing, bewildering, and in which giuliani often seemed confused, one goal of mr. Giuliani was pretty evident.
