Thought he would. he is saying essentially i dont need to respond to this request for discovery or otherwise because it may implicate my fifth amendment rights. so please, judge, in the federal case in california, stay that proceeding until this new york case is, you know, resolved. in new york, i think that the prosecutors there do not expect cohen to testify. this is normal for a target of a criminal investigation not to be speaking to them. so i dont think it slows down their investigation. t...

You would have to ask mr. sessions and mr. rosenstein that. the relationship between congress and the d.o.j. is not where it needs to be. weve been asking for documents for five months and weve received about 6,000 documents. when we meant with the new u.s. attorney, the point person that the department has brought in to comply with document production to congress, mark meadows and i met with him and other attorneys from the department of justice i asked him four questions, whats the approximate...

Complexities involved, case management, trial strategy, defense, the discovery, all the things that are involved, document production, et cetera, et cetera. rudy giuliani seems to me to have no real connection to most of that. whatever the reasons are that the president wants giuliani on his legal team, are connected to other skills. maybe diplomatic skills and certainly television skills. given what you know about his history, as both a lawyer and a public figure, when you hear him say, im goin...

The deputy attorney, be fired. the president said what he had to say at mar-a-lago yesterday, but mark meadows and jim jordan going to the department of justice to confront rod rosenstein about document production, that is pressure on the hill from the department of justice, and there is perhaps no member of congress who is closer to president trump than mark meadows. we reported that meadows and trump had some kind of conversation after that meeting took place on monday. so you have behind the ...

Mark meadows, warn rosenstein he would soon face impeachment proceedings if he did not satisfy gop demands for documents. i want to bring in nbcs jeff b bennett who is with the president in florida. this is creating a pretext for the president to fire rosenstein, to get his base ready, saying hes got to go? >> thats right, good morning, democrats also make the point this effort is fairly transparent, given that the president in many ways foreshadowed this coming. he accused his own justice depar...

That. >> no way. not in a million years. >> as a nonlawyer, it sounded preposterous to me. >> youve got people who believe that the attorney-client privilege applies just because youre talking to an attorney or attorneys are in the room or attorneys got your documents that doesnt work. >> it seems to be the kind of idea here is that michael coyne is ive got a law degree and im licensed to practice in new york. hence, when im talking to you, when were having a cigar outside the hotel, were maybe ...
