point. abby, in regards to yesterday between the two court cases, the new york state law which now will allow the ways and means committee, the house ways and means committee to go to new york and say, hey, we want the president s taxes in new york, turn them over. is there a sense that the legal walls are closing in a little bit on the president? it almost feels like you have a bottle of water and someone keeps poking holes in it. water keeps coming from different holes on different days and the white house is trying to plug as many holes as they can. they are not really keeping up with what seems to be the pace of investigations, the sheer number of investigations and the sheer number of avenues with which various investigatory bodies can get information they are seeking to continue pressing the president. i think it is becoming a major struggle. this is a president that has a lot of resources. he s using them to his advantage
his false testimony about the timing of the trump tower moscow project. it s clear that someone else or other people were involved in crafting that false testimony. who was involved? who saw your testimony? what was the conversation? i want to know whether anyone ever promised him or brought up the possibility of a pardon, which could be obstruction of justice. we ve seen the president potentially dang dangling pardons from manafort and stone. were there similar conversations with michael cohen? the last thing i d want to k. him is what questions did you decline to answer from the answer from the southern district of new york? our old office turned down cohen originally as a cooperator because he would not answer everything. i would say what were you protecting, who were you protecting? sounds like the members of congress right now behind closed doors are asking those questions. they can use that. they can. but he lies. and he s lied all the time. and so you eared theard the whie
i m not the popular kid at the table. i realize that msnbc is not a republican-based, trump-based, crazy deal here. be i ve got to tell you that, you know, as far as republicans are concerned, they like the job trump s doing. they like kavanaugh. there are lots of other judges they also liked. it s not either/or. if they don t get kavanaugh, they don t get a federalist society vetted judge. democrats really are not going to they re going to resist probably any pick that trump has. brett kavanaugh exactly, but doing into the election is an open supreme court seat, an incentive for republicans to go out and keep the senate republican. right. i mean, what i think that we are, because of the economy, and i understand what you said about, you know, poking holes in the economy, but you ve got to look at this from the republicans point of view. the republicans point of view is the economy is at an all-time
during the national anthem saying slaves were generally expected to sing as well as work. to the slaveowners singing slaves would drown out their own cruelty and oppression but it wasn t enough the slaves had to sing, they had to sing their oppressor s feel good songs. currently the song being demanded is the national anthem during football games. this comment getting a lot of attention a line. some are praising his remarks, others poking holes in his argument. mark on twitter says he should be grateful for the opportunities this country afforded him. he made a lot of money playing a game. a little gratitude, humility would be welcome. could not happen anywhere else. another twitter user says playing football is a job, jobs have rules or find another job. not that hard. preseason football games, another round tonight. we will see what happens. jillian: we are hearing from the men accused of destroying donald trump s star on the hollywood walk of fame. he says he was just trying to
it, has finally won the day. i talked to her before this about a half-hour ago, katy, and she was nervous that this would not be the verdict. they were quite nervous that the defense perhaps had succeeded in poking holes in the story that the witnesses, but then primarily the story that andrea constand told in that courtroom. so there was a lot of fear among those who call themselves survivors that he would once again not be convicted. and in fact, it might be a hung jury again. so now i think they re all processing this in real time, katy. they re watching us and realizing that this is it, that he s guilty on all three counts. how much of a difference, kate, do you think the moment has made? last year when this trial was going on we were living in the me too era. do you think that had a sway on this trial? it may have. i mean the judge was very careful. i wasn t in there every day, like stephanie gosk and ron allen, but i was there for about four days over the past two weeks wat
