A recap of the days news. Sessions you should stop this rigged witch hunt right now. Its a dirty disgrace, would that be a problem . You bet it would be. If he had sent Jeff Sessions a memo to that effect or said it in a meeting, would that be important evidence . In an inquiry into Obstruction Of Justice . It certainly would. I know that, im not an attorney, im sure you know that as well. Because he types it out on twitter for the whole world to see, including Jeff Sessions, are we supposed to ignore it as just the president blowing off steam . Why . And its far from the first time that we have been told so treat the president s public statements as something else, something other than what they say. Remember this from july of 2016 . Russia, if youre listening, i hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. This is why this is important. This is how the new york times

think the way we have to look at this is how do we make sure the public understands and knows what s in the mueller report. the senate is not going to convict donald trump if the house impeaches him. that s pretty obvious. they won t even look cross ways at him when he does outrageously bad things and they convict him on the impeachment finding. so what is the goal here. the goal is to make sure the public is fully informed of what the president actually did to obstruct justice. there is ways to do that including making mueller testify and he knows how important it is that he publicly talked about what he found. again and again, to get through to the american people that this is not a president that was exonerated in no way, shape, or form. it s interesting you say

cnn has learned the president s tweet today was just hours after his legal team updated him on the possibility of a sitdown interview with robert mueller, one in which mueller wants to ask questions about instructions. the president might be making mueller s job easier in putting himself in jeopardy. let s get to our panel right now, to our folks here who can discuss all of this. patrick healy, cnn global affairs analyst laura coats. good evening to all of you. it s good to have you on. reporting that robert mueller, senate proposal about a possible interview last night and agreed to accept some written answers. want the ability to be able to ask follow-up questions in person. what do you think about that proposal? i think it s really a compromise that s kind of expected. the reason he would never agree to all written questions is because he would not have had
so all these things sort of overlap, making mueller potentially a witness, and there s some reason to think that maybe some of his communications with senior officials on the campaign on issues like national security might already be in mueller s possession. how much people are talking about what a signifier this is? you ve got michael cohen who s in some trouble with the southern district at this point. are people saying there might be a connection here between the hiring of rudy giuliani in that capacity? that s definitely one of the themes that you hear, although it s been quite a while since rudy giuliani held that position. so how familiar he may be with the way they do things right now versus 20 years ago is a fair question. i think, however, giuliani s main role here is supposed to be what he s been talking about the last couple days, which is to get into some kind of dialogue with robert mueller, the special counsel, and move towards an interview of the president. giuliani
