Former GOP representative Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezinski interview newsmakers, politicians and pundits about the issues of the day. Was obvious the meeting was to get information from foreign nationals which is a crime. Lawyers running around collusion is not a crime. Anybody knows a low he ranking congressman like i was in my first year understood you cant get an in kind contribution from mullahs in iran or Vladimir Putin in russia. Thats right, joe. The president is concerned. Hes anxious, fearful about where this is all headed. His legal team is focused on that Trump Tower Meeting as they have been for some time. Thats a key moment in the mueller investigation. Our reporting, despite what the president tweeted in response to it very much is that hes worried about don junior, expressed that worry to people hes been talking to on the phone, privately brouting about this.
