So theoretically, you they he has taped people inside of the white house . He threatened comey. He said, you know, you have to watch out. He insinuated that there might be tapings. She said this about the interview that President Trump gave to Msnbc News Last year in which she discussed the firing. He was being prepped by hope hi hi hicks and thecomes team to say that the doj had come up with this memo so they could justify the fire thing of comey. And you were in on it, too . That is definitely...

About it. i do not expect it will go anywhere. i dont expect anyone will move to get rid of atkinson but again it is worth documenting that this is something that the president has said about people who are investigating him and this is been recurring theme. we saw it throughout mueller and here it is again. >> ask comey. maggie haberman, thank you. >> and tonight joining us ross garber teaching at tulane university and with us columnist kirsten powers and chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin. so ...

The first place with the whistle-blowers complaint, was that the inspector general had deemed it credible. >> so is this now off the -- has he raised this again recently, do you know? >> our understanding is that he has continued it at times talking about it. i do not expect that its going to go anywhere. i dont expect that anyone is going to move to get rid of atkinson. but, again, i think it is worth documenting that this is something that the president has said about people who are investigat...

And upstanding thing as he has throughout his life. the second sort of inference there is there are many in the government that mueller has been dealing with who have not been similarly admirable. and you know, its possible to me by the way, that that whole other section that we dont know about may concern the obstruction conduct that flynn at least knew about and in fact it was his investigation that will trump tried to make -- to ask comey to back off of. so that would be a kind of classic bad...

Is a good thing, not a bad thing. and your client has no obligation to clarify. all he has is an obligation to make sure that he doesnt say anything that results in incriminating statements. >> jeff, i want to ask you something about that giuliani also said yesterday that i didnt quite understand. he said that it would be easier for him if the president did ask comey to give flynn a break that would be something he and jay sekulow could defend. >> i think alans making that point, that the presid...

Also said yesterday that i didnt quite understand. he said that it would be easier for him if the president did ask comey to give flynn a break that would be something he and jay sekulow could defend. >> i think alans making that point, that the president can to do for any purpose. and i just think thats dead wrong. i think if you look at watergate, if -- the president did have the legal right to tell the fbi that the cia wanted the watergate investigation stopped. that was done for a corrupt mo...
