The latest Political Developments of the day and interviews with top newsmakers are featured. Order is, territory now. And i wonder if theyve had a chance to explain to the president what you reported last week, that under this beefed up postenron witness tampering law, he may have more exposure than he understands. They seem to be leaning on a First Amendment defense, which is not going to hold up if your reporting holds up hes being scrutinized for the way these fit together. What Rudy Giuliani said today is this is ridiculous, the clip you played. The Idea Obstruction by tweet. He said it was bizarre and idiotic and there was nothing to it and the president can express his opinions. The thing about the president and obstruction and collusion, you know, ....

Bothers the president the most, that he does not have someone loyal to him like he thinks obama did, or jfk did running the justice department. he wants someone who will do what he wants in the justice department. the thing i don t understand, i tried to press the lawyers on, the president could call the justice department. he could call rod rosenstein, who actually oversees the investigation. sessions doesn t. sessions doesn t have the authority to do it because he s recused. et could call rosenstein and say shut this down, if not, i m going to fire you and put someone else in. i don t understand if the president is that concerned this is a witch hunt why he does not do that. and clearly it is not a witch hunt. bob mueller referred three cases that include and involve democrats to your old stomping grounds, the southern district. where do you think a prosecutor, an investigator who is not sort of rattling around in this echo chamber, where do they see this conduct? where does this p ....

Banging was about, what that meeting was about and why it mattered so much to rudy to get out that list? i don t know the words. what was the head banging? i don t know if it works. i think the issue the trump legal team runs into is the president s legal exposure is so complex. there is obstruction. there is collusion. there is a question about whether to do an interview. and these are things that if you re going to go out and speak publicly about them, you really need to be well versed in. you need to know all the facts about them. and i think they run into trouble when they run into subjects that they don t necessarily know as well as others. these are not simple investigations. they have complex legal, you know, questions around them and about the facts. and when the homework is not done, it doesn t come out right. i bang my head, too. really quick. the point mike is making is right. they don t know everything. in fact, they don t know a lot. and so they re learning it pr ....

To do that. well, try. try. the worst case scenario is that there is something going on here. i guess like what s second worst? the second worst is that donald trump just assumes that he has so many skeletons in his closet he just hates europe and loves russia? what is second? second is that trump knows there are skeletons in his closet, financial and otherwise. he just assumes that putin has that information and could put it out. the other is that he s more sympathetic to authoritarians than he is democrats and he looks at putin and says i want to have the kind of money and power that that guy has. he finds him more admirable than he does theresa may or angela merkel. i think it s all of these things, by the way. maybe vladimir putin made a hard pitch for that. we don t know what they talked about for two hours so one can only speculate. but i think the idea that he is going to get richer off of these deals that he may be making with putin, i think that s it doesn ....

For. cynthia, the inspector general is not nothing. you ll seldom meet an inspector general who goes to work in the morning who says, boy i don t police up any wrongdoing here today. when they re concentrating on you in the justice department, it s hard to think of anything else. and this is a very respected inspector general. the fact that this has been added to his plate, that isn t what bothers me, and i think what bothers me is that i m just afraid at some point there won tiwon t be anything there won t be a way to stand up to trump. and we re approaching that. part of it is because over the last year, every time trump attacks, nobody does anything. i mean even when he attacks sessions and makes fun of him, sessions doesn t stand up to him. when he fires comey, sessions says nothing. hopefully i mean it would have been nice if there were some reps, which would have been the republican leadership. and they aren t even participating in the game. that s what worries me. ....
