You put a witness like michael cohen on the stand, you better have some corroboration. >> they must have something, otherwise they wouldnt make these allegations, these prosecutors. >> but where are the tapes? where are the memos? where are the e-mails? look, im not sitting here defending trump but as a prosecutor whos done this a long, long time, he is a problematic witness. >> kevin, something that really stunned me this morning, listening to another show and different commentators is one pers...

Under psychological pressure, and we also cant be sure that she wasnt given any psychotropic agents with her food or water, but this immense pressure towards her is 100% there. >> reporter: despite butinas plea agreement, the kremlin calls the charges against her baseless and void. in an interview with state media, her dad claiming she never wanted to harm america. >> translator: what harm? and how could good relations between citizens of two countries be called harm? i do not understand, but th...

Well see. great to see you, phil. >> joining me to discuss, cnn political commentators, joe lockhart, doug heye, and very importantly, communications director for eric cantor, so he spent many a moment on capitol hill working on things like this. doug, how is chuck schumer wrong on this one? on mexico paying for it or he needs $5 billion? >> on the face of it, hes not. but ultimately, this comes down to what we saw yesterday in very short-term political gains for the main participants. when i he...

Oval office meeting. >> if we dont get what we want one way or the other, whether its through you, through military, whatever you want to call, i will shut down the government. >> okay. we disagree. >> i am proud to shut down the government for border security, chuck. i will take the mantle. i will be the one to shut it down. im not going to blame you for it. >> joining us now, cnn political commentators. as we look at all of this, the president, mark, im going to start with you with this one, t...

60% of college educated whites. so again, this is an indication as matt correctly says, that the president is invariably focussed on his base. but the base are not the only people who vote, as we were reminded. i will also note that in 2020 you have republican senators, unlike the 2018 environment, in places like maine and choleolor that are trending democratic and where this politics is kind of a sentence for ending their careers. >> matt, you have seen some republican commentators that say tha...

President mike pence. i think that part is going to be problematic. but the distinction with clinton, i think, is at the time the sense of criminal liability was no longer on the table because it was understood that hed gone through the political process of impeachment. i think we have now a serious possibility of two different tracks, criminal or political impeachment. everything natasha says, i think, is spot on. but the disconnect between the two parties has never seemed greater. theres a gen...

In a more serious case, you look at the john edwards trial. it went to trial charged as a felony. this is a very serious matter. this was a big cover-up. it happened in a way which clearly was meant to influence the election. so were he not a sitting president, im quite confident they would pursue this. and theres enough legally here as we heard from other commentators, they could certainly impeach on this. its really a political question for the house to decide if its worth shooting that amount...

Investigation to have credibility. howie: what do you make of some conservative commentators including here on fox saying while lying to investigators is a process crime, there is no other lying crime. richard: in mike flynns case he has to be held to a higher standard. hes going to be national security advisor to the president of the united states of america which is one of the highest positions in our government. he lied to the fbi and he lied to the vice president. its disheartening to see co...
