Questions. he wouldnt have had a lot of overlap, at least that we know of with the alan weisselberg work. its hard to speculate because there is so much redaction. but just from looking at the text thats unredacted, we know theres an investigation thats being run out of the justice department that is not part of the very large, almost sprawling mueller probe that michael flynn has relevant information on and thats something without a doubt would be disturbing to the white house. another thing im...

White house that they think they have a good handle on the russia investigation. i think a lot of that is bluster. but lets say they have some handle on at least the scope of what muellers looking at. if you look at this filing and you find out mike flynn has been cooperate with two completely separate investigations, you probably have no idea what thats about. you have no idea what hes been telling them. and i would think youre completely terrified if youre one of the people in the campaign, in...

Avoidancing -- avoid answering the questions? >> lets remind people why he is central to the investigation. roger stone tweeted repeatedly in the midst of the campaign and releases of the stolen clinton e-mails, prior to the releases he tweeted messages talking about damaging information to come. how did he know that? his defense in recent days has essentially been it is just bluster, he was just making it all up. but keep in mind robert mueller has other information here. he has other witnesses...

Plan he has, and then it trickles down and its not what we think its going to be. this trickles down to the stock market. with larry kudlows report the other day and the white house had to issue a correction, it started december 1st, not january 1st. and the president saying what he said about his relationship with xi jingping being great. the stock market is taking a tumble and thats something we highlighted today. >> whats interesting is pillsbury was basically -- it felt like lecturing the wh...

Because it doesnt want to give in the advantages it now has. i think youll find that both countries will keep talking, theyll see what they can agree to. i think trump is a bit restricted now because the american business community is telling him this tool hes using, tariffs, is not the right tool to try to change chinese behavior and its hurting american business and our economy. i think thats why trump didnt push farther to try to get a more significant agreement. >> do you see him backing dow...

His school year. so certainly, i think michelle obama is doing -- i would imagine meghan markle looks to her and as do others. shes sort of giving her blessing saying, you know, dont feel that outward pressure. try to think more about whats going to make you happy. theres no time stamp for this. theres no directions, theres no instruction book. this is ant role, this public role isnt something that is always defined. maybe make it your own. and i think that is probably good advice for the duches...

Civil leader. but it doesnt mean you are not strong and have very definitive views, especially when speaking about someone like david duke. >> thats right. weve turned virtue on its head in this era. when people seemed to think that bluster is a sign of strength. its the opposite. when you see those qualities, who was a man of tremendous personal courage, but great decency. i want to reflect on that bit. i recall that at the time. there were aides in the bush white house that didnt want him to c...

And he understood that. he didnt do it by bluster. often he did it by sort of holding back and letting the process move. >> he specifically said, howard fineman, he let gorbachev know he wasnt going to rub his nose it it but at the time of his re-election and his attempt at being re-elected, the failures in the economy, as would be the case today, seemed bigger and more important than the role that george h.w. bush had to play in the strengthening of nato and the west. >> right. i think his achi...

In yemen. good morning, senator. >> good morning. >> okay. do you take the idea that president trump floated this idea in the "new york post," that yeah, pardoning paul manafort, thats not off the table. is that real or to wind up democrats? >> who knows? i think you have to take him as his word. theres lots of things he said over the course of the last two years that we thought were just bluster that he followed through on and so ultimately i assume he is trying to continue to give reasons to t...
