I think the whole world has found out that the way to flip trump for your interest is to get him in a one-on-one conversation without anybody else around, on the telephone or in a one-on-one meeting, and to feed him these things. and if you speak loudly -- or not loudly, strongly -- thats the word the president likes -- if you speak strongly, youll flip him. and theres lots of instances of that. one i know well, its what putin did in helsinki when he met one on one with president trump, and righ...

Afghanistan in 1979, you look at the defense of annexing crimea, because in trumps words, its russian because everyone speaks russian there, you look at the helsinki presser, which ambassador mcfaul pointed out, you look at sharing classified information and say im so relieved now that that nutjob comey is out of the picture, so much pressure relieved from me, what do you see? >> this really goes back to the point that chuck made early on, which is that if youre investigating this situation and ...

Hear from them how foreign policy was crafted? >> oh, absolutely, nicolle. look, just because flynn was interviewed 19 times doesnt mean flynn was the only person interviewed. in fact, far from it. i assume that all of the people who were in those meetings, whether its dina powell or h.r. mcmaster or others, have been interviewed. that doesnt mean every single one of them has to go in front of the grand jury. obviously, you can talk to investigators outside of the grand jury, and thats a reasona...

Having to bring a new grand jury in, install them and completely get them up to speed, its typical to extend the grand jury for a period, as here, of six months. it does strongly signal that mueller is not ready to finish up in the next month or two and has a little bit more work to do. >> chuck, same question to you. this extension of the grand jury means there are potentially more witnesses to appear before the grand jury. what else does it mean? >> absolutely. joyce is spot on in her analysis...

You might or joints.hing for your heart... but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally discovered in jellyfish, prevagen has been shown in clinical trials to improve short-term memory. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. plans by the presidents company now headed by his two sons to expand its hotel business to more rural areas have come to a standstill. thats according to reporting by "the washington post." maybe the numerous probes are taking their toll. quote,...

Post." chuck rosenberg, let me start with you and what i heard from a former u.s. intelligence official today that donald trumps now compilation of seemingly bizarre, seemingly random, seemingly, let me just be blunt, just stupid comments about russia, are probably at this point very likely under scrutiny by people investigating his relationship, his contacts, his coordination, if you will, with russia. >> my goodness, nicolle, they would have to be. you know, i think we wondered why michael fly...

Thats why mr. mueller needs to do his work. but it is extraordinary. i just want to underscore where you started. it is just absolutely extraordinary what president trump says about russia and russian history and russian policy. and i want to also underscore, its separate from the entire trump administration. i cant think of another time in history where youve had such a disconnect between the president and the rest of his administration. that demands a full-throated explanation. >> well, we did...

Whatever mike pence brings to me, sure, thats nice, but at the end of the day, if donald trump says hes not going to do anything with that, theres no point in moving forward with that. so it comes down to the point that the small part of america which is holding donald trumps feet to the fire on the wall, either he gives up on trying to appease them or he actually does let this thing go on for months or years. >> right before the holidays, a source close to the president -- i called them after t...
