Senior political analyst Mark Halperin and New York Times reporter michael schmidt. Good to have you all on board. What a fascinating day. It was fascinating. It seems like a bad day for the president , and the spinning by his lawyer and his press secretary or one of them was stunning to me, absolutely stunning. I said it all day yesterday.
