Its tailor made for you. thats my open. joining me now with the latest on all the breaking news, hogan gidley, the deputy white house press secretary. you had quite a week this week, didnt you? >> absolutely. nonstop at that white house. judge jeanine: i want to talk about buzzfeed * in a minute. but first i want to talk about the reaction of the democrats after he laid out what he said at 4:00, but what they said before he even spoke. >> they did it before he came the oval office address where ...

The investigation. >> i think the mueller investigators want to keep some integrity into the investigation process. and knowing that michael cohen who was at least part of the story was saying through the sources that had been reviewed, text messages and e-mails supposedly reviewed by some authentication individual, that this took place that the president directed michael cohen to lie to congress, mueller had cototo come out saying that is t true. that could be a damning thing for buzzfeed and e...

All those other felonies related to his finances. theyd haul him back into court, make him plead guilty to the crime of lying oh congress. even though they wanted to make sure it would have no effect on cohens ultimate fate. if the "buzzfeed" story were true that muellers prosecutors had both evidence that cohen committed that crime and evidence trump directed him to commit that crime, it would make sense that they brought him back into court, because then the reason they would have brought him ...

Know that -- about the threat that russia posed to the election. we know that the president has downplayed that and called the investigation into all of this a witch hunt. so its just another piece of information suggesting that there were ties of some kind. >> and i just want to be clear, pema, this would have taken place if it goes all the way up to, say, election day, the beginning of november. after the president in august was spoken to by the fbi about potential russian election interferenc...

Himself. he has no reason to not just say the truth about many things, but he just decides im going to pile on and make it better than it sounds. and then hes got rudy guiliani, who i dont understand, you know, he did -- youre absolutely right. he did go from americas mayor to rainman rudy. and i dont know how this rainman act is going to help the president in the long run. and look, the buzzfeed article or any other article, we shouldnt go off and despite -- as great reporters we have deciding ...

I hope you see your way clear to letting flynn go. remember? he said hope doesnt mean extortion. right? say he said something like, say it ended in january or in the winter. that could be seen as supporting perjury. by another person, a person on muellers team, not as impeachable. >> and everybodys watching that. when it comes to muellers decision to dispute the buzzfeed report is a bit of a rarity. what do you make of that statement by the special counsels office in the way it was worded, that ...

Obstruction talking to the witnesses who might be testifying against that person. it obviously looks like obstruction. it looks like witness intimidation, as does many more recent things like -- well, lets look at cohens father-in-law. thats a direct threat to him. its intended to intimidate him against testifying and justifies why michael cohen is saying his family is in danger. >> okay, how about "the washington post" report that muellers statement meant to dispute the whole report put out the...

Mueller then went through the trouble of bringing cohen back to court in federal court again and charging him for that false testimony while simultaneously telling the judge, hey, dont give him any extra time in jail for this. he really is helping us. hes being great. this is not worth one extra day in jail, okay, judge? when "buzzfeed" published this story late last night about cohens false testimony to congress, this bombshell story that lit up the news cycle all day today, the narrative of "b...

He doesnt just let it linger out there. instead, he stands up and corrects the record in a way that -- >> but lingering out there -- >> heres why -- >> this one gets special attention by mueller? heres why i think -- >> heres why i think he played it the way he did. it got so much traction politically when we saw this blockbuster reporting by buzzfeed that people started talking a little bit more enthusiastically about impeachment. lets assume that this became article one of the articles of impe...
