Your government and the United States government seems to be miles apart on the syria issue, ukraine and other issues. Did you feel that youve cleared up any of those issues you mentioned earlier today since youve had those discussions with Secretary Tillerson . We did discuss at length the future role for assad, whether it be in a future political process or not. Clearly our view is that the reign of the assad family is coming to an end. And they have, again, brought this on themselves with their conduct and war these past few years. We discussed our view that russia, as their closest ally in the conflict, perhaps has the best means of helping assad recognize this reality. We do think its important that assads departure is done in an orderly way, an orderly way, so

Chris Matthews debates hot political issues with politicians, newsmakers and Washington leaders. Comes from giuliani, who attempted to downplay the criminal aspect of collusion with the russians. Rather than deny that collusion took place, he now today argued that collusion isnt illegal. Lets watch. Ive been sitting here looking in the federal code trying to find collusion as a crime. Its not. Collusion is not a crime. I dont even know if thats a crime, colluding about russians. You start analyzing the crime. The hacking is the crime. The hacking that certainly is the original the president didnt hack. Of course not. Thats he didnt pay them for hacking. Its so much fun. An apparent shift in strategy. Giuliani now appears to be saying that collusion is not so bad after all. You saw him there chuckling about it. And also 150e78d to undermined the credibility, however, of President Trumps frequent and categorical denials that there was no collusion. Which has been a familiar refrain from
Clinton and don, jr. Among others. And there is more. A federal judge is forcing a longtime aide to Trump Advisor Roger stone to Turnover Documents and testify before a grand jury hearing, Hearing Evidence in the mueller investigation. Stone sought damaging information about Hillary Clinton from wikileaks, the website which published thousands of hacked democratic emails, emails stolen by russian hackerses, hackers the Trump Justice Department identified as agents of the russian government. There are also new developments in the trial of the president s former Campaign Manager, Paul Manaforts bookkeeper testifying that her boss was effectively broke and lying to banks about his precarious financial situation after losing his biggest client, which is the prorussian former ukrainian president. And that was right about the same time that manafort started working for the Trump Campaign. The bookkeeper also testified that she knew nothing of foreign accounts controlled by manafort. That pos
A recap of the days news. Love trump or whether you disdain him, i think everyone can collectively agree that his relationship with the truth theres a major disconnect. There was one report i saw said he told 2100 lies since office. Another one said 3,000. Another five a day. Another ten a day. If you sit down with mueller, if they dont have obstruction, we dont know whether they do. Hes tweeting. His State Of Mind is all over the place. He could say he fired comey. If they dont have obstruction and there is no collusion conspiracy, its conspiracy, but the fact is you can get him on perjury. So why take the chance of going sitting with mueller no matter how smooth you think you are, no matter what you think you can say when youre going to get caught in a lie because you will lie because thats what this president does, period. Harry, so far mueller hasnt moved on this demand that he wants trump to sit down in person. This negotiation has been going on since january that we know about. A
