Like to get to the bottom of it. if he thought people working for him and thousand thght they had something wrong with the russians, the right thing would be to say lets get to the bottom of it. what rudy giuliani said last night is a definite significant change. >> what were talking about with collusion, the lack of note taking in helsinki, all of it could be classified under the weight of this presidency and what its doing to this country, it altering the way this country operates. the lack of...

Recall what people said, what the various positions were that stacked up and that you move forward accurately on that basis. in the fbi, theres an even more hard wired culture of note taking. agents write fbi 302s. theyre reports of interview for every meeting with a witness. in the upper echelons on the bureau, they document everything. these notes are remarkably accurate. you know, i can go back years back or could when i was in the department and look at notes and have a very clear picture of...

The opportunity to ask the follow-up. if hes going to get it in written, and have someones words written down before them. able to lock them in on an answer, and be able to ask follow-up questions, it seems to me mueller has the best of both words. he doesnt have to have the simple note taking. hes able to have the combination of the two. it is a bit of a compromise in the sense that being able to respond to questions in writing mines youre able to prepare quite fully, and theyre not able to hav...

Media and its further said about cohen he just would roll on his phone during conversations kind of in lieu of note taking and as a matter, of course? >> thats right. thats what lanny davis told us that is cohen had a practice of recording conversations instead of taking notes. it sounds odd for a lawyer to do that but he did. and he did it on his iphone, he would keep hold of the audio files and lanny davis said he didnt intend to do anything with those audio recordings other than to keep them ...
