promise. he did start the shutdown. but then he blamed the people he promised not to blame, congressional democrats. but a senior administration official told cbs news that, quote, trump will present what the white house believes could be a deal to end the shutdown. the deal was largely influenced by talks between vice president mike pence, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and trump s son-in-law and senior adviser jared kushner, who is not the speaker of the house. joy reid and david corn are back with us. and joy, this is the most mysterious deal i ve ever heard of. three republicans get together in a room. what s the deal? whatever it is, it s not a deal. yeah. because if you go to capitol hill to make a deal, you have got to have nancy pelosi in the room correct. schumer, and mitch mcconnell. that s who you need for a deal. my own theory i m going to get my own theory out of the way. get it out there. the only thing that he s empowered to announce tomorrow is s
district of new york, he said himself, as he stood up and spoke to the judge, that he lied specifically about this moscow trump tower project. this is something that is already on the record. it s something he s already admitted to in the southern district of new york. so i think i agree with ken in 00 that i think everyone is now kind of hair on fire about the denial by the special counsel s office. but i kind of try i m reading it narrowly until we know more. so mimi, we know there are a bunch of federal officials in michael cohen s life. there is the special counsel s office, robert mueller, and then there is separately your old office, the u.s. attorney s office in the southern district of new york, where he has already pleaded guilty. he has already been sentenced there. donald trump has been identified there in effect as an unindicted conspirator, referred to in the documents as individual one. one of the blooming theories of the hour this evening is that these federal offici

because what we have now is the only basic hearings that have been held have been behind closed doors, the senate intelligence committee, house intelligence committee, a lot of other witnesses have been in secret. the public hasn t really seen their demeanor. we have mueller s hearings, mueller s proceedings, all you do is see someone standing up in court pleading guilty, but that s not the same as public testimony, which is what the senate watergate committee did. and then that educated the public. the saturday night massacre, the american people said no, the president can t pick his prosecutor. and at that point the house judiciary committee came into focus on impeachment, not until then. you told me during the break. the members of the house judiciary committee were agitating to get started on impeachment proceedings and the democratic leadership of the house was doing what? saying no. just like today? just like today, because in a way you can understand it. for us the only
