The plea deal includes cooperating with federal prosecutors. We will have more on this story just ahead in our broadcast. But we begin with the president and the white house trying to deal with this new reality after the revelations made in Fridays Court filings from Robert Mueller and from the Southern District of new york. Part of doj. Federal prosecutors in the Michael Cohen case have implicated trump in a scheme to buy the silence of two women, Stormy Daniels and karen mcdougal, during the 2
Result of an isolated individual acting for incomprehensible reasons as if he were some human version of a Natural Disaster that randomly strikes from time to time. If reports, including the socalled manifesto he apparently left, are to be believed, the man who fired shot after shot after hundreds of men, women and children at prayer, targeted them for a clear set of reasons and was inspired it now appears by a consistent hateful and contagious world view. He did it, live streamed part of it which were obviously not showing because of who these people were. He did it because of the god they worshipped and because of the threat he seemed to think they posed to the white race. To him, a 3yearold immigrant girl was a threat, as was her father, as were their neighbors. That thinking is racist and repugnant but to say that its random or sprang from nowhere, that dishonors the facts as we are learning them, just as it dishonors the lives that were lost.

Okay. Welcome to the new age of morning joe. How you doing today, willie . Doing great. Yesterday was a hell of a day, i mean, you started with the payroll tax, but there are about 15 different stories that in any other administration would be a scandal that lasted for weeks and months. It was incredible and i think were about to lay them out. And i think the most incredible part is, for me at least, you adopt trump saying, you know what, lets get russia back into the ga. Never mind the fact that the guy i pointed to run the fbi, the one to run the cia, dni, everybody involved. History. Kirstjen nielsen, everybody, pompeo, everybody said russias trying to undermine american democracy. Lets get them into ga, and blame it on obama that they left, in fact when it was because they were shooting down commercial aircrafts and inkr invading sovereign countries. The president of the United States said i think were going to leave afghanistan and let the russians go back in there. It didnt work
Consequential as the nixon tape. Plus governor jay inslee on his big climate announcement today. And the absurdity of the electability argument when it comes to the democratic primary when all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. Today the president called the man who orchestrated the criminal sabotage of his political opponent in the 2016 election to joke about how they got away with it. Earlier this morning, the president spoke with president putin. They had a very good discussion, spoke for a little over an hour. Just one week ago, trumps own fbi director chris wray warned that russia has continued to meddle in u. S. Elections and also has big plans for 2020. Were very much viewing 2018 as just kind of a dress rehearsal for the big show, 2020. Mueller reportedly laid out in excruciating detail the way the would benefit from a Trump Presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and the Trump Campaign expected it would benefit electorally. Trump took to twi
I didnt know it was you. Go away i just want a tie. I didnt know it was you. I didnt hear you. Do you know who this is . I didnt know it was you. I dont like the whole thing. I like listen, i want the patdowns. I want the extra screening because i want to be safe. I dont care if it makes me late. I dont care if the lines are long. This is terrible news. Everybody says it. Nobody likes lines, but we get it. God forbid, we know what we lived through. We remember the shoe bomber. We know how these guys are looking for ways all the time to be evil. Weve been so good. To lax for what, an extra ten minutes . Come on. Im never rude to the agents. I always tell them thank you. Youre a sneaker too. You try to bring water through. Youre one of those guys. I always think that i get the water out of my bag. Ive been with you, don. Youre a little shady. You dont fly commercial. If they dont catch the water, youre like hee hee hee. You flew the redeye back. I look like one of the drivers. Theyre nic
