That story, and jeremy bash, former chief of staff at the cia and pentagon, both are msnbc analysts and mara gay is still with us at the table. phil rucker, take me through this reporting. this is mind blowing. the president of the united states seemingly again overruling his own appointee at the fbi head of the fbi who seems to have grave concerns once again as he did with the nunes memo, not just of the sanctity of classified information, but of ongoing investigations unrelated to the russia probe and potentially lives hanging in the balance. yeah, nicolle, it s a pretty extraordinary moment here. the president, as far as we know, has not actually directed the department of justice to release this information. there s been no exact order that i m aware of. but he certainly has been banging the drums on twitter and his attorney rudy giuliani told the post and has spoken about this to other news organizations as well that the president very ....
And i think our responsible republican and democratic legislators need to be part of that with us. listen, nicolle, it s a reason why i keep on talking to senator rubio in spite of the way he and i had that interaction on town hall because i want to get something done. we are sorry again for your loss. we are sorry for anyway that today s tragedy brings that all back to square one for you as i m sure is the case. and we are grateful to you for joining us and spending some time with us. thank you. thank you so much. our thanks to dave cullen and michael balboni. we re going to keep monitoring the scene in texas. we ll bling you any and all developments as soon as they come n. when we come back we ll fill you in on the fast moving developments in washington, d.c. today, including the president and his allies back on the attack against the fbi with an accusation they claim is bigger than watergate. plus, a surprising twist in the mueller investigation that turns up the heat agains ....
Not overstating this. it would truly unravel our entire network of human sources around the world. nobody would trust that we could keep their identity secret. no one would give us information. we d be blind. do you believe that s the president s intention? yes. someone must have told him what you just said. someone has to have walked into the oval office and said what you just said to the president. he s not busy, so they would have had time to get on his schedule. someone must have walked in and told him that. they may have told him that, but they may have also there also may have been another meeting in which they said, mr. president, you know, the way to undermine the mueller investigation here is to try to find someone who was giving the fbi information and try to make an example of them because that s clear what rudy giuliani has been telling the president. and that s clearly what congressional republicans at the house intelligence committee have been telling the presid ....
Once federal investigators know everything his son-in-law knows, it may no longer be sustainable for him to not plead guilty to something? i think there may be that ponlt, nicolle. and the reason why i think it, it s sort of on tap terrain. we ve seen a bunch of charges and a bunch of court filings that layout the case that mueller has built against manafort on things like unregistered foreign lobbying, on banking and money laundering violations. but we don t see anything directly related to these real estate deals. so, the fact that now you have a potentially cooperating witness who could help build a case in some uncharted territory in mueller s case against manafort is significant whether any charges actually come of it or not. jeremy bash, i want to put something up for you that has always struck me just as a parent. you ve got four families with two generations involved. you ve got mike flynn and mike flynn, jr., ensnard in the ....
Mueller probe. paul manafort and now his son-in-law pleading guilty. you ve got donald trump and his son-in-law jared kushner and his son donald trump, jr. you ve got jim comey talking about sort of how the family sounded and acted like a mob family. and you ve got men, the three on the top, try not to swear in front of my son. you have men and their sons in law in potentially criminal enterprises. boy, nicolle, the thanksgiving table is not going to be a pleasant conversation in those families. it does, it does showcase that obviously people s judgment can get clouded when they re dealing in family enterprises. it is a word of caution. but, look, all the people on the bottom rung of that chart are adults and i think the way prosecutors and law enforcement officials view things is that if you are an adult and you know what you re doing, then you have to pay the consequence. and the fact that you have a ....
