the kickoff of the book and he ll tell his side of the story. a decision has to be made whether the president will sit down with the special counsel. this makes me think, if i was the president, why sit down. what is the upside of sitting down with the special counsel at this point. the kind of tactics undertaken, if i was the president, i would look at and say what the up-side. it will only get me in trouble and talking to them so why bother. send me some written interrogatories and i ll respond but i m not sitting down with you and you see mueller pulling that threat and i agree with dana, they ve got him in the white house and they are talking about it. and when we come back, we ll talk to a new yorker and a attorney and trump supporter and get his take. we re going to squeeze in a very, very quick break. stay with us. we ll be right back.
the fifth amendment that you can plead it and you re not supposed to take an inference, at least in the courts, in criminal matters. of course politically, you know, it won t look good. but the other thing that his lawyers can negotiate is to have answers to questions in writing. legalese term for that, interrogatories, and those are under oath. would that suffice to you? i think that should suffice for mueller because what he s interested in is honest answered to questions. he shouldn t be putting the president, in my view, in a position where he could accidentally mystique. interrogatories are often used in civil certainly in civil cases. all right, bruce marks, we ll leave it there, thanks so much. thank you. and this just in to cnn, facebook has suspended a canadian data firm with alleged ties to the cambridge analytical data scandal. facebook says that company, aggregate iq, may have, i m
immediately at the risk of perjury. miranda rights. anything you say can and will be used against you. this ensues. there s no reason for him to do it. neil: is the fear that he said something that goes beyond what he intended to or he went into an area that he had no idea would be discussed? if his lawyers are looking at a structured area where he could or would either via written responses or others talk about stuff just as long as he could talk? the written responses would go along the line of interrogatories. they re always preferable. you can look at them. the lawyers can help them draft the proper responses. they re very focused. you put anybody in a room, especially president trump, every word now will be taken literally. that could be dangerous. we have a president in an
interrogatories, you have the opportunity to review those in writing and respond in writing. the president has been very clear. he wants to cooperate so he can prove that there was no collusion by the truck campaign and any russians to impact the outcome of the election. my recommendation to the president would be asked similar team to submit those questions in writing and respond in writing. harris: cory lewandowski, you re in a very special position because he worked with the campaign, you let it. he was have a relationship right now with president trump as wel well. reports of that, and you ve told me that as well. so as we go forward in this, head of the president see it from your talks with him? with one of the white house counsel thinks is my wrap up soon. how are they gauging this? i think that the president has said it was again, he s been willing to cooperate but you have to have an end to the investigation. i think it s very unfair to his administration a similar team has
