Impeachment obviously, republicans seized on your report to do that lying under oath as the catalyst but what would happen here in the robert mueller issues a report were told the president is not a target. what would that mean? would there be other areas to pursue assuming thats the case, ken, where does that go? >> we have to see what bob reports to the deputy attorney general but its going to ultimately be a decision by the deputy attorney general of the united states not robert mueller rober...

Unprecedents of the president of the united states make a desperate effort to protect himself from the conclusions of the investigation. >> and mitch mcconnell emerged from the gang of eight meeting and saying he didnt learn much new during the course of the briefing. lets turn to north korea, congressman. one day after calling off the summit with kim jong-un, president trump said it may happen after all. do you see any reason at all for optimism? >> i see more reason for concern. i think like m...

We are told apparently documents werent physically turned over where they were allowed to see a lot of things. relatively quiet from folks. >> it really has. that surprised me. what we are seeing based on congressman adam schiff congress, comments, i think the democrats will try to portray this, as no one placed a spy within the trump campaign. it seems that what happens was the justice department ran a surveillance operations, they tried to get information from people who were connected with th...

Not out yet, and conclusions have been completely drawn. they know what the evidence is, they decided what the outcome is on this, and the problem with mark penn spouting this stuff is that some democrat will look at him and say, hes a democrat. and you might change your mind. thats what he said is so scary about this. >> im sure he wishes more republicans would say, this is wrong. we shouldnt be disrupting the country for this. i want more democrats to go out and say that now. you have to take ...

Politicized situation for america. how do you do that? ainsley: how do you do that and how do you see this playing out. will anyone go to jail. >> i dont know if anyone will go to jail. tricky thing about washington. they sort of protect each other. likelihood of people going to jail, i think, is low. how do you do that? you are probably going to have to bring exgovernmental officials in from both sides and hammer out an agreement that relates to some level of depoliticization. almost like a sim...

We try to do just that but the german office for information security replied unfortunately we are not currently available for an on camera interview but you are welcome to send us your questions in writing. we did that too but no reply was forthcoming. the european parliament has drawn its own conclusions from the snowden affair and has taken a tough stand government i.t. systems need to end their reliance on the americans. we need the commission we need the parliament to urge clearly on the me...

Kept it a secret for u.s. national security agency or n.s.a. had already discovered the vulnerability and used it to develop its own espionage tool which it used until it was apparently leaked to cyber criminals so given this risk shouldnt the german government insist on the disclosure of a source code for all its software. after having read snowdens revelations over the past four years about how vulnerable we are and what methods the u.s. secret service is you are an essential part of snowdens ...

Kimberly, an msnbc analyst. what do you think of the news and why is it coming out so late at night. >> why would it be so different than breaking news that breaks on another day. i think there has been a bit of a scramble to put together exactly how this meeting that the president has demanded and which was apparentlyset up by rod rosenstein to placate the president who seemed ready to take a more drastic action against this investigation. this is something that is not normal. normally when the...

Authorities, the oversight doesnt come in the middle. it comes once its complete, once theres conclusions, and then if theres questions about the process then the folks go in and take a look at it so the investigation itself is not compromised so there are no problems. so yeah theres no real protocol as to how to do this. so its small wonder that there is some confusion, that theres changes in the plan, different statements coming from differing agencies about how exactly this is going to work. ...

I would feel -- its funny. i dont think there is a strategy with north korea and id feel a lot better if i thought somehow this was a chess move. i dont think thats true. what he spends most of his time developing strategies for is his own survival and preservation. unfortunately i think whatever energy has gone into strategic thinking, has gone into trying to attack anyone who might at some point come forward, any institution, that may come forward with damaging information with damaging conclu...
