Analyst, and miriam mimi rocah is now a distinguished fellow in criminal justice at pace universitys law school. phil, i do want to start with you. its hard to understand why this white house wont acknowledge that the russian election was not free or fair. correct me if im wrong, but other administrations have not had a hard time doing this. >> thats exactly right, katy. and the way president trump handled his call with putin today is hardly surprising, was its remarkable, nonetheless. this is s...

This is all about. its an attack against the president and he is leading it. do you believe there is any proof of that suggestion? >> absolutely not, chris. bob mueller was a life long republican, was appointed by a republican president, president george w. bush and subsequently served under president obama and then importantly, chris, his term was extended for two years in an unprecedented and unanimous vote of the senate just a few years ago. so this is a man who has served his country beginni...

Until this weekend. in a tweet sent out sunday morning, the president was arguing that the special investigation was biased because there were no republicans on robert muellers team. no one really there to defend the president. that of course is inaccurate. robert mueller himself is a republican, one who served under both republican and democratic administrations. further, many of the attorneys on his team have prosecuted both republicans and democrats. there is no real partisan streak there. an...

President bush, kept on by president obama until his term ran out. so robert mueller has done a lot more forrer republican administrations than donald trump ever had until he became president. and he tweeted that there were conflicts of interest despite the white house and the white house lawyer saying that the president is not considering or even firing special counsel. why is he building a case for why co-fire special counsel? >> or maybe he wants to discredit the report. >> he wants to let ...

Youre writing a memoir. that trump is personally the counter party in this is such a misunderstanding of what it means to work in the white house. if the white house counsel did this, is it even legal? youre pressuring a young staffer who gets a job, he shows up january 2nd. heres the paperwork and heres a nondisclosure agreement. >> i havent spoken to any staffers signed one or who have told me they have. but i think the denial was very strange. he said they didnt sign it for x amount. he also ...

Firing mueller. boris sanchez has the details now from washington. >> on sunday we saw president trump make a distinct shift in the way that hes talked about the special counsel, specifically rob mueller and his team, though previously the president had said that the russia investigation was a hoax and a witch-hunt, he never really singled out robert mueller by name for criticism until this weekend. in a tweet sent out sunday morning, the president was arguing that the special investigation was ...

>> sandra: we still dont know where this data is and who is holding on to it and who knew what and when. do you think mark zuckerberg is going to have to testify? >> whether he has to, i dont know. whether he will, you know, he actually has been very forthcoming and willing to sort of engage with multiple administrations at this point. he will have things to say about it. facebook doesnt hide. they are a target because they are the largest social media provider there is. and that happens when yo...

A good one, and ra, i mean, this white house has really suffered from even more leaks than most white houses have. now to come forward with this, i question legality, although im not a barrister, but it is just really a little bit unimaginable i this i. >> now, i remember how angry the white house was when robert riesch published "locked in the cabinet" maybe two weeks after he left the cabinet. so you couldnt have been happy about that. >> we werent and i dont think any president is happy about...

She doesnt care. nothing about what she is doing that really is cohesive with the president in terms of her messaging and that is fine with her as she is independent. past administrations, imagine in michelle obama had said that about barack obama or his agenda. here she is picking a topic to fight something as that list indicates is sort of goes forward with name calling. i think its interesting. its the first lady doing something that she knows is going to add extra emphasis, extra pressure, p...

It orchestration by cdw. ♪ hope youre enjoying nor sunday morning. the president of the united states spending it attacking special counsel robert mueller, the former fbi director, james comey, andrew mccabe, anyone who might be providing testimony against the president in the special counsel investigation. i want to read you something from the president tweeted just moments ago. why does the mueller team have 13 hardened democrats, some big crooked hillary supporters and zero republicans. a...
