Other aspects of his administrations or his past move forward, because mueller, if he exercised any restraint, he hasn t fired mueller. this has been playing out in private. it s interesting david gregory uses the term, will go off the deepened, and certainly this weekend when he wrote about cohen in this way, let me read what he said about michael cohen. remember, michael cohen only became a rat after the fbi did something that is unthinkable and unheard of, they broke into an attorney s office. why didn t they break into the dnc to get the server on crooked s office. let me read you what james comey said about this. ....
this is beyond mueller. this is about the fbi. that s right. republicans don t feel the need to talk about a fundamental principle and the fourth amendment, and protecting the search and seizure tenets? i can t speak for them. when we have private conversations most of my colleagues recognize this is not healthy, not good. but they re so happy with what they re getting out of the trump administration in terms of deregulation, tax cuts, two new justices to the supreme court, that they re willing to let him, as they say, ramble on, on twitter. they pay attention to the policy accomplishments not twitter rants. having the president say and do things like this on twitter is fundamentally cor fundamentally corrosive. the criminal justice reform you believe he ll sign that today? we ll take up and i believe pass the first step act, which has important sentencing revisions in it as well. this is a bipartisan effort that i ve been part of for three ....
yes. serve lots of search warrants. yes. do you think it has some sort of pernicious effect? it s not good for law enforcement. they don t want to be dragged into partisan politics. i have enormous respect for what federal law enforcement has to do each and every day. this is just another disheartening chapter in the president s attempts to mislead the american people about mueller s investigation. where are your republican colleagues on this? sadly, silent, most of them. a few have stepped forward saying that the mueller investigation has to be protected. mueller is executing an appropriate investigation. quietly, the vast majority of them say it s not a witch hunt. we re going to take steps to protect it. this week, senator jeff flake of arizona will, once again, join me on the floor of the senate, asking for a vote on our mueller protection bill. and i m sadly confident it will get blocked and it won t get a vote as it should. ....
Liability and who will cover his legal fees. he hasn t committed. one of the difficult things for him to figure out is, let s say president trump could pardon him. the question is, is that going to protect him from state charges? no, if there are going to be state charges you have the southern district of new york cooperating with the state of new york, president trump can t protect him. there s a reason why the president hasn t fired mueller or manafort, because there are restraints on him and michael cohen has to figure out what will president trump do for me. if he is auditioning on trying the examples you have on the free agency and auditioning, is the court of public opinion here significant? i know cohen himself said he is not a villain of this story and ....
Perhaps he hasn t fired mueller because he s relying on his colleagues in the media and congress to undermine the investigation for him. you have people like matt gates, jim jordan, members of the house judiciary committee, republicans particularly, who are really kind of homing in on this idea that the fbi is corrupt, corrupted, and that the whole investigation is tainted. so the idea that trump now is saying that he s fighting back, it really is not just him in the white house, it s expanded to congress and the media, the right wing media, and that is particularly problematic in and of itself because it s undermining public confidence in the bureau. question to all of them, to what end. lady, thank you very much. natasha and liz, appreciate your time. we ve got breaking news to report out of davos. president trump just spoke to cnbc in a new interview from switz switzerland. let s bring in msnbc s ali velshi who is there for more. ali what did he say? all right, katy, president ....
