One. >> that is what this is all about. lets just all be honest, theres no two ways, the president needed a win in 2017. this is the only time they could get it done. they pushed it through, even though the american people dont like it. thats the bottom line. april, as we mentioned here, the polls show 55% of the people oppose this plan. it also shows 66% say the bill benefits the wealthy more than the middle chalass, supported b two nongovernment analysts. how is passing something so overwhelmi...

White house. >> thats true. i cant think of one republican that ive talked to who said it would be a good idea for donald trump to fire mueller at this point. it would just be such a storm. especially as theyre, hopefully, for them, going to pass tax reform or tax changes, tax cuts. are they going to fire him after all this other stuff? neil gorsuch? it didnt sound like theres actual muster to do that. >> but bill clinton didnt have to fire ken starr but ken starr eventually got seen as a politi...

Does, that it needs to pass political muster, that it needs to pass the smell test. >> you cant forget that mueller was, when he became fbi director, he was appointed by a republican. he was appointed a special counsel by a republican. he is a republican. this is not a partisan thing where democrats are trying to take down the president. this is mueller who has one of the best legal minds out there. and honestly, if youre looking at the white house and white house versus mueller who, are you goi...

Conspira conspiracy-driven thing. this is not real. also a content of the e-mails is gossip about senate nominees. mueller does not care about that. lets get back to the focus of whether the sitting president of the united states worked with russia to rig the election and then covered it up. thats the big question. who cares about all this other stuff? >> there was a whole lot of leaking going on on every side of this investigation, whether it be doj, whether it be congress. somebody has got to ...

Intelligence agencies in the united states, which he has been bashing constantly and attacking and questioning in order to defend himself for the last year since hes been president. he has got to stop that. these people are patriots and they put their lives at risk and i agree with jason, i am glad that mueller has taken swift action because this investigation needs to be above board. it needs to pass muster. if -- we cannot let it be politicized. trump is not the one that should be attacking it...

Worse, it is anonymous, and that means franken cannot answer it. none of this would pass muster in a court of law but in a trial by social media, and that is what we are seeing, it is enough to destroy your reputation, a career, a life. so enjoy the schadenfreude, the pure animal thrill of watching a person knocked from a high perch, but at the same time, ask yourself, what if this happened to you? imagine being accused by someone whose name you didnt know of something that supposedly happened m...

That bar if he was actively involved in trying to obstruct a dsh of an investigation that he believed might lead back to him. >> just lastly there is new reporting today that paul mafrpt was ghost writing an unpublished editorial on ukraine with a russian who has ties to russian intelligence. muellers office is arguing that this violates the terms of manaforts bail. do you think it does. >> well if the condition of bail was mot making public statements that could influence the imimpartial alt of...

Administration, what does it mean? >> it is a significant temporary victory for the government. the supreme court has allowed the third version of this to go fully into effect pending appeal. its the first time the justices have allowed any version to go entirely into effect. its still being played out in the lower courts. it could signal that a majority of the justices think that this could pass legal muster. it is definitely more tailored to the countries. the government did ask for the full v...

To, you know, reconcile the differences between these bills, with a little disadvantage because the vote is harder to take in the senate so whats in the senate bill will probably dominate. so people think. they offer different rate structures. the house bill has four tax brackets with a top rate of 39.6, the senate with seven brackets. they have to reconcile the top rate and structure. >> all down to money. >> thats right. >> and what it means, and how -- and can it pass muster in those -- in th...

So im considering letting him go first but i cant because i have to go to nick first. nick, we got to start with the presidents lawyer, john dodd telling nbc, quote, the president cannot obstruct justice because hes the chief law enforcement officer under the constitutions article 2 and has every right to express his view. >> thats false. it all comes down to what was his intent in talking to comey in telling him to stop the flynn investigation. i mean, theres no question, john mitchell, who was...
