Possible change of heart, he told multiple news outlets he would not be complying with muellers subpoena and at one point he even told our own ari melber he isnt worried about going to prison. >> theyre not going to send me to jail. mr. mueller, if he wants to send me to jail, he can send me to jail and ill laugh about it and make a bigger spectacle than i am on your tv show right now. >> here to talk about it, bob bennett, veteran lawyer, who was president clintons personal lawyer in the paula ...

Spoke to sam nunberg tonight, former u.s. attorney joyce advance and john heilemann, our msnbc analyst. jill, you spoke to him last. what can you report about what may or may not happen on friday? >> you had sam giving interview after interview after interview where he was really just charging, threatening not to participate in any of the mueller subpoena requests, saying he wasnt going to show up on friday, threatening to arrest him if they wanted to. but in my conversation with him after he fi...

He having done his time, having gone in and sat with mueller and his people a week ago, to get the subpoena and then be told hes going to have to go to the grand jury, he was clearly freaked out today. this is a person again, i say neither with sympathy or criticism, he did not seem altered to me but seemed under enormous emotional duress. i think seeing that list of names and particularly i want to go here, he focused a lot on roger stone and a lot of his conversations. hes not kidding that rog...

Said a lot of things about a lot of people today, including mueller and the process and kind of scoffed at the process. to your last point there, will that come around to haunt him in any substantive way? >> i think that youre right that mueller is not petty. hes by the book. but he is concerned about the institution. so one way this could boomerang on mr. nunberg is because there will be need to uphold the integrity of the institution and ensure grand juries in the process are respected, i susp...

Content about it, pushing back on it. as mike suggested there, pushing back on it a way hes really leading this charge in the republican party more broadly to discredit robert muell eder, discredit the fbi, including seizing on these text messages between fbi agents, including going after the dossier of this former british spy, a symbol that became a small part of the fbi investigation, including mueller himself and members of his team and their affiliations and donations to democrats. so it is ...

Right. firing comey will turn out likely to be one of the biggest political mistakes mr. recent history. because theres been a cascading number of events since then, including mueller. trump is not good at controlling his anger. sessions is personally decent and it mufbl the most humiliating thing. it was done many front of other people. and trump has not shown any loyalty to one of the most loyal people to him ever. >> the first endorser. >> and john, this same report, from the "times," said tr...

Himself he should have told me prior to taking office and i would have quite sill reply picked somebody else. >> only the president knows whether the political damage from trying on kill the russia investigation would be worse than what that investigation might discover. no question he is trying under99 credibility of those working the case including mueller. the president says would be committing a violation if he looks into trump family finances. on capitol hill today, sheldon white house, que...

Thing in common and only one thing really, other than they might literally all be republicans, is that theyre all tied to the russia investigation. have in turn all had their integrity questioned by the president. sessions of course, is no longer actively involved in the investigation, having recused himself in march from muellers appointment which is precisely why the president is so furious at it. >> he should not have recused himself. if he was going on recuse himself he should have told me p...

Agencies and entities is not what needs changing. that is fundamental to our democracy. salena, to you, salena, when he was asked by "the new york times" about special counsel bob mueller, they asked, you know, what if mueller was looking at your finances and your family finances, unrelated to russia, is that a red line? and he said, "yeah, i would say so," and then he said that that was a violation. he didnt go so far as to say, would you fire mueller? when they sk a asked, would you him? he sa...

President did to shut down this investigation and also the underlying contacts with russians, the contacts of his businesses with russians, with neighboring countries to russia that were in the former soviet union. thats all this big picture that the investigators, including mueller, who has hired the former assistant attorney general in charge of the fraud division to start looking at the finances of the trump organization and the finances of people involved in the trump campaign. this is a spr...
