The latest news from around the world with host Brooke Baldwin. Tr review the changing narrative on this famous sitdown meeting. First, dont forget the initial line was, there was no meeting, right . Remember, it took place back in june of 2016. Not a peep about this. And then take a look at this from donald trump jr. So don jr. , this is nine months after it happened, quoting him, did i meet with people that were russian . Im sure, im sure i did, but none that were set up. And certainly none that i was representing the campaign in any way, shape or form. That was then. Then in july of last year, the New York Times broke this story. And the story became that, yes, there was a meeting, but it was on russian adoptions or more accurately sanctions. Very soon after the trump team was then forced to fess up that the meeting was actually to get dirt on Hillary Clinton, and then the public was told, okay, yes, there was this meeting, but no dirt on Hillary Clinton actually came from it.

Analysis and discussion of the days top stories and compelling issues from Lawrence ODonnell. This will play out. Which, as of tonight, could serve as the headline for the status of everything. Still under investigation by the special prosecutor. Unclear how this will play out. Leading off our discussion now, joyce nance, former special prosecutor. And former counsel to the mayor of New York City and eugene robinson, Opinion Writer for the washington post. Hes an msnbc political analyst. And you are a former federal prosecutor also. What do you make of the giuliani conditions for the interview . Well, in fairness i was in the Civil Division of the u. S. Attorneys office. I will say that unfortunately giuliani has become someone whose career is not going to be looked at quite the same light as it was before this because he really had a storied career. And what were seeing is just
this complete disintegration of what was a credible lawyer into someone who has lost all credibility. While
To an end as he stated many times. We look forward to that happening. The president is not obstructing, hes fighting back. The president is stating his opinion. Hes stating it clearly. Hes certainly expressing the frustration he has with the level of corruption that weve seen from people like jim comey, peter strzok, andrew mccabe, theres a reason the president is angry. Frankly, most of america is angry as well. Theres no reason he shouldnt be able to voice that opinion. Once again as i stated earlier, the president stating his opinion. Its not an order. Hes been Crystal Clear how he feels about this investigation from the beginning. You said a moment ago the investigation itself is corrupt. The mueller investigation, you mentioned comey and strzok. The entire investigation based off dirty, discredited dossier that was paid for by an opposing campaign. The latest news from around the world with host Brooke Baldwin. At a public rally and yet people trying to yell over and defending the
Doh spicer. All right, so, the white house used to claim that the president s tweets are not just idle opinionating, theyre official statements with the power of the white house behind him. How many times have people working for the president said the president s tweet speaks for itself or words to that effect . Except for todays tweet. That apparently doesnt speak for itself. That needs a spokesperson and a tv lawyer speaking for it, sweeping up after it, quietly trying to wipe it off the bottom of their shoes. When the president of the United States says that one of his subordinates should do something and do it now, how is that just one guys opinion . It all smacks of another effort that was made recently to suggest that the president didnt really say what everyone heard him say. And a key sentence in my remarks, i said the word would instead of wouldnt. The sentence should have been, i dont see any reason why i wouldnt, or why it wouldnt be russia. Sort of a double negative. That a
Ago, when the republican led by ten points. Joining me now, senior Political Correspondent from the hill, amie parnes. Good morning. Good morning. Lets talk about this. Youve seen the poll numbers. Early voting, i believe, is already under way in ohio, and looks like the democrats, at least number of ballots that have been cast so far, more democrats. So, how worried should republicans be . A little worried. I mean, donald trump won this area by 11 points. Republicans outnumbered democrats 21 over there. So i think this was sort of a safe seat for them. I think that it came as a big surprise that it was very close, but you know, oconnor, the democrat, has been really trying to make inroads in appealing to people who have been a little bit upset with the way the Trump Administration has handled policy, the tone and tenor of his administration. And so, hes really tried to
