Sand telling nbc that may be involved in the taxis. the presidents lawyers already resigned into the strong possibility that the inquiry into mr. cohens business could lead him to cooperate with peril prosecutors. that likelihood would now be greater with mr. friedman. >> i want to bring in an msnbc legal analyst, editor-at-large for the libertarian magazine. and a professor at princeton university. >> ned, lets go to you first. can we actually say because that because cohens business partner wa...

Think is very interesting that were starting to see is there was all this tough talk about trump and his administration and we were all wondering for the past several weeks is this going on? is there a nuclear deal with north korea? are we going to find some deal on china and trade? right now what were seeing is a pullback, i think you sthau in his remarks there. weve seen that with the president looking at north korea wondering can they get any progress there. >> its possible that politically t...

Now know, but ended up with the same fate. so its -- its very unlikely that he will ever bring to fully denuclearize. most people figured that the status quo and containment and verification would be the best that one could hope for. this could be a retreat to what we would have presumed from kim jong-un. and now the question is how much is donald trump willing to do. is he willing to go singapore and negotiate, knowing that at least right now, north korea is not willing to give up its weapons a...

That theyre saying, no, were not going to just give up weapons and get nothing from you in sanctions or in security. so i think it has argued for some time that the u.s. needs to kind of table a draft joint communique that sounds like diplomatic inside baseball, but its basically bread and butter what you do, and then you try to figure out what you agree on. and if its enough, you go forward with the summit. >> ned price, it seems the north koreans were watching donald trump nominate himself for...

Most people figured that the status quo and containment and verification would be the best that one could hope for. this could be a retreat to what we would have presumed from kim jong-un. and now the question is how much is donald trump willing to do. is he willing to go singapore and negotiate, knowing that at least right now, north korea is not willing to give up its weapons and that he is going to have to, if he does get some kind of an agreement or some future negotiation settle for somethi...

What you do, and then you try to figure out what you agree on. and if its enough, you go forward with the summit. >> ned price, it seems the north koreans were watching donald trump nominate himself for a nobel prize, along with other republicans that were nominating him for a nobel prize based on his dealings with north korea, and they have decided that they have seen enough. >> well, i think thats right, lawrence. donald trump has done one thing very well. he has handed over all of the leverag...

He wont fall into the same situation as iran does going forward. does he give up all his nukes up front? i dont know. it seems very unlikely. more likely, he will set up a kind of calendar. hell say ill give you this if you give me that. >> this is a country thats suffering and starving. the only power they have is nuclear power, why would they give it up? i want to show one more thing the president said last night. take a listen. >> so i want to thank you all. its very early in the morning. i t...

Three fronts. first is her role and what action she took and what she thought during her time at the so called cia black site in months after 9/11. second, her role with the video tapes. what exactly she did and again what she thought and then third, and finally perspective actions. what she would do if oerd eorde go down this dark, path once again by president trump, a president who has said to favor water boarding and so much worse in his mind. i think she did a very good job on questioning tw...

Own reputation, and about the agency being harmed by these questions. but lets be clear. she clearly knew that torture was going to come up in the nomination hearings, thats inevitable. what happened also behind the scenes was that the white house was posing these questions to her because they were getting a lot of push back from the hill. they were trying to understand pieces of this. and some of this may have been very new to some of the white house folks. its true absolutely that the white ho...
