Probe a disgrace and illegal hoax that should be ended. is this really the behavior of an innocent man? and how should journalists be connecting the dots for their audience? joining me now, michael isikoff, chief investigate correspondent with yahoo! news, and explains a lot of whats going on. im joined by garrett graff, contributor at "wired" and author of "the threat matrix and the war on global terror." thank you both for being here. garrett, youve been saying its hard to keep up with all of ...

Absolutely align with the story that michael cohen is saying, because thats the absolute truth, and he wouldnt lie. and so you dont even know which set of lies to believe when youre talking about which -- sort of where the truth in this story lies. and i think the biggest challenge in this story is trying to connect all of these different dots. because we are really staring at the bob mueller investigation through little soda straws or individual puzzle pieces. not really sure how everything con...

We saw last week with the revelation for michael cohen that for the first time connected dots between russia and some business deals that went on and the president and his campaign. we will see paul manafort facing some deadlines that could lead to his sentencing or even more charges being brought against him. something you could expect when a plea deal falls apart because someone is not cooperating and that will put increased pressure on him. i find it interesting seeing roger stone saying i wi...

>> we have no dealings in russia, we have no projects in russia, we have nothing to do with russia. >> daniel? >> well, look, i mean this is where we get into semantics. ultimately there was no deal in russia. that is true. but what they were hiding were their efforts to make a deal in russia that miraculously and perhaps, you know, not coincidently ceased on the same day that it became public that russia had hacked the dncs e-mails. so there is a link right there, and we get a sense of around t...

>> so to be clear, mr. trump has no financial relationships with any russian oligarchs? >> thats what he said, i -- thats what i -- thats obviously what the proposition is. >> good morning and welcome to "a.m. joy." im jonathan capehart in for joy reid, whos in south africa for the global citizen festival. the nation continues to mourn the death of president george h.w. bush, who died friday night at the age of 94. well have the latest on the plans for his memorials later this hour. but first, i...

>> this is from the lawyer to the future president trump. >> this is different. listen, for you, hes future president trump. for us, its one of the applicants. i mean, you have to understand that. you have to understand that. >> danny, one of the applicants. give me your reaction to those two clips that we just saw, but also what rachel had to say on friday night. >> its amazing, because rachel really drew the lines between all the dots that we needed to realize that maybe there really was a con...

Viewers were going to have to wait until bob mueller connects these dots. i am guessing there are more e-mails and i am guessing michael cohens testimony is a lot more robust than whats in that criminal information. that is really going to tell the story. >> joyce, a final thought from you on that point and while mueller puts what he includes in this and what hes holding back. >> mueller doesnt put out anything beyond what he has to in order to accomplish his immediate goal. in order to achieve ...

Above board, if there are no issues, if this is all just regular hedging your bets, because this is a normal business transaction, why lie. the prosecutors confront this all the time. the situations in which people are lying about something usually mean that something is not right. so the fact that we have people that cannot seem to get their stories straight on this, indicates to me that theres something sketchy going on here. >> ordinarily, im spared on the -- i wonder what happens next, usual...

For his own survival. mueller, that is, if the president is going to try to tu terminate him. >> if the president pardons him, which hes not taken off the table this week, that could happen any time. that would happen after a sentencing. >> i think my own feeling there is the president will wait as long as possible because the moment manafort gets pardoned he can be forced to testify under oath. he has no fifth amendment right not to testify. so best to pardon him after the mueller investigation...

>> we had five large aftershocks. the highest one was a 5.8 that impacted downtown. you have some buildings that sustained more damage from the aftershock than they did from the initial quake. part of that is again, when you have an earthquake, that will compromise a lot of buildings. any aftershocks after that likely to do more damage. all of those red dots, those are the ones you see that are the aftershocks. in terms of the overall scale, the main is going forward. this localized threat. this...
