robert mueller is not. see you in a bit. here onset for another day, dan goldman, an msnbc legal analyst along with our pal nbc news reporter carol lee. it is less hot than it has been all week. you picked a good day to be here. dan, let me start with you, if you look at what each side wants, they are both looking for leverage. and the sticking point, one of them seems to be this idea much an in person interview. what is the framing behind that? the trump team wants questions on collusion only and special counsel wants to hear about it all. i think rudy giuliani is trying to figure out a way to drum up some leverage because ordinarily the witness of the defendant or target or subject does not have the leverage, the prosecutor does. and but because bob mueller is not talking and rudy giuliani is, he s able he has the whole public domain to make all of his arguments, even though as

we expect those also break democratic enough to erase a 1754 lead? no, but could it be enough to cut into that 754 enough that balderson s advantage which is 0.9 right now over o connor if that ends up at 0.5 or less, state law says guess what, we got to have a a recount here. you could potentially, i wouldn t say it s the likeliest scenario but you could see that happening. there are also 5048 what they are calling uncounted absentee ballots, that were mailed out to voters in some cases weeks ago and they haven t been mailed back. a lot of them probably aren t going to be mailed back. some of them a small number probably military ballots maybe still making their way. some of them probably a small number are voters you had to have them postmarked yesterday. if they sent it out yesterday, it still comes in, that vote probably still going to be
