Part Buzzfeed News Today

The instruction of your client. you always honor client confidentiality bob all. i get that lanny davis was in a difficult position if his client said i dont want you to talk about it. but to your point, i think that this buzzfeed story has created a real problem. now, to the mueller investigation team, i give them a lot of respect for coming out pretty quickly and saying hey, this is inaccurate whats being reported and we want to get that on the record. i think that was important, alex, because...

Legislator on behalf of his constituents? >> its time for the republican party to deal with these issues. we as a balk caucus wanted to make sure he did not have the power to influence policy through committees that he is assigned to. the republican parties are going to having to own this and deal with this. and we will continue to monitor all of his activity because it is unacceptable for someone with open and confessed hatred and discriminatory thought thoughts about other races and minorities...

Investigation has been complicate and there are people close to the president whether it was from the campaign time where people who worked in the white house who have been charged, convicted or pleaded guilty in various aspects of this sprawling investigation. this particular story knocked down by the special counsel, the president embracing that. alex? >> kelly odonnell, thank you so much. well, joining me now is former assistant u.s. attorney kim wehle and legal analyst dan have i see vallo...

Calling it a disgrace. no outright denial of the allegations. talk about your interpretation of things. >> look, i think he is clearly eager to try to use the special counsels statement to kind of overstate how clear they were being saying that the story was not accurate. if you really read the statement, its not clear what the special counsel is saying is not accurate. a lot of people are trying to scrutinize it and figure out what exactly they mean. we dont have a really clear picture of that,...

Entire administration, his campaign has been involved in criminal activity. what i think is problematic about muellers team and the statement they made is that they didnt tell us exactly what was false. they told us that there were things that characterized as being inaccurate but they did not tell us specifically this hfs wrong, this is right. i think that still leaves a lot of unknowns out there floating around. so does it mean that buzzfeed is now their credibility is completely shot? i dont ...

Wants to make sure were not in the story in a way that implicates us wrongly and now you have the president thanking muellers team which i thought id never hear. >> wasnt that shocking? >> thats pretty unbelievable. >> my goodness. danielle, in response to the article and before the rebuttal, democrats ramped up their talk of impeachment and obstruction of justice. were they too quick to latch on to this story and didnt pull back the curtain on their true intentions despite many democrats saying...

What is so striking is the special counsel has not engaged in media criticism or feedback along this long circuitous route of the russia investigation with all kinds of stories that been borne out over these. months and now a couple of years thats why it strands out so much. the special counsel said that the characterizations of evidence related to copes testimony are not accurate. the president today, this is one of those opportunities where he can seize upon his frequent criticism of the media...

Republican-run firm in order to rig the polls. we know all of these things have happened. so whether or not he was actually directed to lie, thats, that was the impeachable offense that i think democrats were jumping on board with, but the fact is, we have a lot of information in front of us already that are a number of impeachable offenses. right? theyre wait ig think for the silver bullet. i think thats what democrats are waiting for, but the reality is that there is enough for the committees ...
