congress were very clear about what was in that report yesterday and so i am corey, no, no, sorry, then you re wrong. did you read the report? yes, i read the report. of course i had to read the entire report and let me tell you what it said. there were ten different examples of obstruction of justice in there. that s not what it said. it did not say there were ten examples of obstruction. alisyn, you re being disingenuous. here they are. let me pull them up on the screen since put the mueller report up on the screen, please. here we go. that s not the mueller report. that s not the mueller report. the president asked for me to let the flynn investigation go. when he tried to stop session s recusal. that s the one you were involved in. when he fired comey. when the president tried to remove mueller. when the president tried to get sessions to limit the probe. another one you were involved in. when he obscured the purpose of the trump tower meeting. asked session
cohen? no. not at all. i don t know who gave you that. that s more fake news. a lot of there s a lot of fake news out there. no, i didn t. how does this fit into this overall obstruction of justice argument being made? the president denies a lot of things. maybe he is telling the truth in this case. in the past, he has made a lot of denials and said he never thought about firing robert mueller. he denied he was thinking of firing jeff sessions. we knew he was thinking about firing jeff sessions. you can take that with a grain of salt. one of the things the new york times story is it pulls together all of the ways that donald trump was essentially trying to obstruct justice. he was calling for the end of the mueller investigation. it brings you behind the scenes to show you conversations he was having, in this case with matthew whitaker. perhaps has had along the way with other members of the justice department. we know he had similar conversations with james comey when he ask
deal because he said they were embarrassed by the way he was treated. the president also said the mueller team attempted to scare flynn into making up stories. but here s the thing. we don t know why mike flynn lied. we don t know whether anyone, including president trump, directed him to do it. and if trump did play a role in this, is that why the president is treating mike flynn with kid gloves? and is that why the president asked james comey, the former fbi director, to let the flynn investigation go? that is the big question that a lot of us have right now. why has trump, a man for whom loyalty is so often a one-way street, why is he so apparently eager to defend mike flynn? michael flynn, just like michael cohen, is cooperating with prosecutors. yet trump called michael cohen a rat. so it s unclear what threat this poses to president trump. for now, we ve seen the way the president is trying to turn this flynn case into a political cause to energize his base by speculating that mi
obstruction case. the question as to whether trump actually asked comey to go easy on or let the flynn investigation go is almost secondary to that point. there definitely are parts there, there are sort of pieces here that could be put together to build an obstruction case. the question is whether that s where mueller is going to go, and which pieces he chooses to seize on. and ultimately, who he chooses to believe and trump s answers to questions that were submitted in writing will potentially go a long way toward shaping the answers to those questions that he would have to ask. aaron, we heard comey say he didn t regret how he handled the clinton probe, but he did have some concerns about leaks. take a listen. there was media reporting that seemed to indicate that most probably rudy giuliani had information in october about what the fbi was doing, and that
