Chris Hayes discusses the day s top news. Chris Hayes discusses the day s top news. of the house judiciary committee. congressman, let me start with you. do you think michael cohen is credible? i do. and if michael cohen is telling the truth, it means there s at least three felonies in what he s about to say. first, donald trump conspired with a foreign power to influence the election. second, donald trump went ahead and lied about the meeting, which could be potential obstruction of justice. and third, trump junior lied to congress when he said his father did not know about this meeting. we re way beyond not normalizing what shouldn t be normalized. these are potential criminal felonies. that s why the robert mueller investigation needs to proceed without any more political interference. you know, there was always a striking thing that happened on the house side, the house intelligence committee in your investigation into these matters, which it sort of said, well, we ....
Analysis and discussion of the day s top stories and compelling issues from Lawrence O Donnell. actually was. so in the credibility fight, ruth, who do you think is going to have the upper hand? well, in the credibility fight you have to ask a few questions. one is who has the greater motive to lie here? one of the things we ve learned, say, from robert mueller is if you go to him or his investigators with a false story and lie to them, you are going to get in a lot of trouble. so if michael cohen is not telling the truth here because he is looking for a deal from robert mueller and he peddles an untrue story, he s going to get himself into a heap of trouble. on the other hand, president trump has some motive here to lie because it would be a very big deal, in fact, if, a, he knew about this meeting and if he had been lying to the american people about it all along. the second thing, and dan can speak to this, is if you ve got a witness who or somebody who may have some cr ....
Former GOP representative Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezinski interview newsmakers, politicians and pundits about the issues of the day. job approval rating probably has seven or eight points, maybe even a little more of what i think of as 401(k) trumpers right now. i think there are people who are looking at their statements, people who are on the right side of the economic equation any way. they see their numbers going up for all sorts of reasons. and so they re willing to not really dive in to this russian novel story that no one can quite figure out. and they re willing to suspend their bizarrely in my view, but they are willing to suspend their ordinary moral judgments about how this president conducts himself and is now representing us on the world stage. but i would not, if i were in the white house, count on that lasting until 2020. we ll see. joe, your latest column in the washington post really speaks to this entitled trump finally feels gravity s unforgiving po ....
trump about a payment to playboy model karen mcdougal before the 2016 election. could be a recording of a recording, we re not sure yet. that they can probably determine. you re right. we may never be able to determine that but we have determined the fact that he campered with the tape in the sense that he abruptly mid-conversation turned it off. giuliani told abc news we have complained to them that michael cohen has violated the attorney/client privilege publicly and privately. in a statement to nbc news, lanny davis, cohen s attorney, fired back saying mr. giuliani seems to have been confused. he expressly waived attorney/client privilege last week and repeatedly and inaccurately as proven by the tape talked about and talked about the recording, forfeiting all confidentiality. joining me now is timothy bag. loyalty in trumplandia is a one-way street. he doesn t have much loyalty towards the people around him apart from his nuclear family. sometimes his wives but n ....
