Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Deliberating three days after this. I think its very sad what theyve done to paul manafort. Thank you very much. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes. The president appears to be terrified he has a quote rat in his midst. Inside the white house. That i should be clear, thats his word. Rat. Its not the kind of language we are used to hearing from the president of the United States who is, of course, entrusted by our constitution when suring the nations laws are faithfully executed and who is responsible for appointing our most senior Law Enforcement officers. Youd expect to hear that word in a very different context. Your uncle was a rat. Sit down, sit down. Your uncle was a rat and now hes in the witness protection program. Thats my fathers brother youre talking about. Now the president is assuring
the country not that he has obeyed and upheld the law but that he does not hire snitchs. Tweeting the naming Nort
Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. So im going to be a little contrary here, chris, say i see where the president is coming from when he says this is a bit old news, my colleague, bob costa and i wrote in november when don mcgahn went before bob muellers interview team, sat down with verdicts two days straight so people have known for a long time that don mcgahn was cooperating with the investigation, that everyone who was in the white house was encouraged to voluntarily be engaged in these interviews. Now what we do know now is that after the week stories, by the times don mcgahns attorney has alerted and assured trumps own legal team that don mcgahn provided no information that was incriminating to the president , did not incriminate him. In fact, don mcgahns lawyer was putting tear mind to ease, sent them information saying my guy does not incriminate your guy. Are you serving the office of the presidency and you are serving the american public. Youve got to balance those two
that is where the problem is. leadership is saying what a disaster would be to pursue impeachment. but nancy pelosi says trump is not just worth it. are you kidding me? after two years of everything that we ve been told. it is not that trump isn t worth it it is that they ve been lying all this time and all the stuff they ve been trading up they ve been lying to their own supporters about trump and russia and putin and somebody being somebody s puppets. all this nonsense. $25 for this investigation try to get to the bottom of this and we are basically finding out what most normal people sort of assumed at the beginning which is that this is nonsense. the leadership is in step with one another, but they re not in step with their supporters and they re not in step with the ranking foul democrats. ed: i want them played a chance to weigh in on that. paul manafort was back in the courtroom for the second time at his sentence was pretty light
after she was elected. speaker pelosi and all members of leadership have encouraged us to represent our district. and this is something that was important to my residence, still continue to be, my constituents. continuing to push for impeachment, right? i am beginning the investigation. the things that you ve been hearing about. instead of being rurmmors. let s investigate these offenses. but a member of the house intelligence committee is warning his fellow democrats about being too focused on this one issue. in the final analysis, the speaker s going to move forward on impeachment if it is merited. i think the mistake that some democrats might be making is making it the only issue we re trying to address. right. there is a whole world of things that we have to work on, and we can t give the public the impression that this is our fixation. cnn chief political correspondent dana bash is in washington. and so, all right, so speaker pelosi says trump isn t worth it. but s
norway is doing the same. the word out of norwegian air by way of copenhagen, denmark they ll ground their 737 max 8 as well. we ll see what boeing says throughout the morning. sandra: first to this. democrats divided as nancy pelosi puts the brakes on impeachment setting up a new fault line without the radical ranks of her party. welcome to her hour of america s newsroom. bill: i m bill hemmer. good morning. pelosi putting herself as odds with the liberal freshmen in her party saying that president trump isn t worth the political risk of an impeachment. pelosi blinks. not only the freshmen objecting. one top democrats disagreeing saying that impeachment is inevitable. impeachment means nothing if you don t use the power. and begin the process. so to me it s not a question of whether, it s a question of when and probably right now is
