Argument, go to plan b. donald trumps arguments regarding this payoff and suggesting its not a conspiracy and suggesting that it wasnt related to the campaign, thats just not going to pass anybodys straight face test. its not going to pass any judges or prosecutors or juries straight face test. i wonder if the republicans will think it suffices. >> and i think, joe, the timing of the discussion youve been having here about this being clearly related to the election, last night we learned even so...

Happen without his knowing. >> so if mbs doesnt know about it it doesnt happen. >> yeah, hes in total control. hes the guy that locked up the rest of his family in the ritz and started a war in yemen. went to war in yemen. hes doing things on his own. and the guy who were sanctioning by the way, the treasury department. is his right-hand man. who tweeted last summer, i dont do anything, i dont do anything on my own, i only work for the king and the crown prince. i mean -- it doesnt pass the stra...

What do you make of what is going to happen after thursday? >> i think its hard to predict what his answers are going to be. depending on the answers, well have more know. hes done everything to stop this investigation and was just said, it doesnt pass the smell test or in my case, i say the red face test that he didnt know what whittaker stood for which was trying to stop this investigati investigation. the thing that comes to my mind is it was on the day before thanksgiving that we learned dur...

Brett kavanaugh, others still dispute it. msnbc legal analyst cindy oxford. witnesses say they were not contacted by the fbi. republicans say the background check provided had no corroboration. did the white house and republicans, because theyre in charge, did they play by the rules, but did that mean that justice was not done? and if thats the case, how do we remedy that? >> unfortunately right now there is no remedy. because hes sworn in. and hes justice kavanaugh. so i think we just have to f...

With a straight face -- because i had a judge in torts class that would say if you can make an argument for a jury, its got to pass the straight face test you have to make the argument in front of a mirror and if you start laughing, dont make it in front of a jury. lindsey should have done that before going on fox news and saying that the fbi was furiously trying to elect hillary clinton before the election when, in fact, you had mccabe leaking damaging stories about the clinton foundation to th...

If thats the case. and you know, quite frankly michael cohen again has made statements that would give rise to suspicion for any prosecutor to say, that doesnt make sense that a lawyer took out a home equity loan with his own money, paid somebody that he didnt even know on behalf of a client who, bit, had the where with alan money to afford $130,000 and by the way didnt tell the client about the settlement agreement. its illegal and a fraud if thats the case. it doesnt make sense. doesnt pass th...

Documents related to russia and otherwise. defense attorney and former federal prosecutor dealt with many questions involving the fbi and federal prosecutors. it was for the president who once said that would be a red line in his estimation. but what robert mueller does, i guess, is up to him. >> yeah, its going to be harder and harder for president trump to argue against this when the fbi is coming up with regard to issues that have led to sanctions. they are coming up with indictments. there i...

This doesnt go farther. it just defies the straight face test that bob mueller would have entered into a plea bargain deal with general flynn on the one felony count. lets remind ourselves, this is a felony. >> oh, yeah. >> which he has agreed to, subject up to five years in prison in jail. it defies the straight face test to think he did that in and of itself for no other reason. we know what this is about, this is about flipping general flynn, period, full stop. >> and general flynn is now a c...
