The fact she was so out of the loop, i think she -- i dont know, everybody feels like they could have done something but at the same time they didnt know it was happening so they cant. >> martha: you are all such an example for the whole country to stand up and say what you said to larry. what was that like four, jamie? -- for you, jamie? >> it was important to see him for me face to face. and because it was about him -- it was about all of us finally having a voice and a strong voice together a...

A thing to have to say there is during this speech in the loop be interesting to see how the north korean regime is going to react and it was also interesting to hear what the president has had to say about north korea because actually we were awaiting i opening remarks on north korea as one senior white house official sat for the speech but there was nothing like that but the president made clear that he things of that to rebuild every need americas nuclear arsenal is the best way to deal with ...

Unaware of a critical white house decision to fire the special counsel? this is a credible report. >> but once again, the president has denied that this took place. and what you see right now is that we are now seven, eight months removed. and the special counsel has not been fired. the white house continues to cooperate, producing 20,000 documents, hundreds of hours of interviews with everyone who has been asked to be interviewed. and so the investigation continues and still yet there is still ...

Call junior people and bring them into this mess. its a small number of people that could reasonably be part of that. they have liability if bob muellers investigation finds that they may have been part of the ongoing obstruction if there was obstruction. thats a legal conclusion thats under investigation. another key point here that is very bad for donald trump. what everyone thinks of his management style and the way he talks and how often he lies, many of those things are not crimes. and so, ...

Firing, depending on what mueller finds, is that the ignorance excuse no longer applies. there may be an excuse for the comey firing that it was not technically obstruction, not a crime, because the president was so ignorant, so out of the loop, that he thought he was firing a toy gun and even if a bullet went of you of the it he didnt know. now we have report this is week that more bullets came out. the pressure to move the deputy attorney general. and number twos tonights news that he threaten...

That, on its face, looks to people like obstruction of the justice. now, donald trump denies doing that. one of the things robert muellers team is going to have to do is corroborate the comey memos and comey statements and do that by speaking to the people that comey talked to at the time and also potentially to white house officials who spoke to donald trump about it. sorry, go ahead. >> no, i was going to ask you, ken, is that what makes don mcgahn so important to all this? i know hes not a ho...

Out of the loop. >> he had the gall to look at the president and say im giving you everything asked for the wall and when pressed admitted he wasnt doing it. that is the type of negotiation he is engaging in with the president. he will have to up his game and be a little more hon heest with the president of the united states. >> you offered $1.6 billion in funding. >> he was not in the room. he does not know the truth. of. >> how much did you offer the president? >> im not giving you a number. h...

Disorganized. theyre not communicating effectively with the white houses office and conflicting with the special counsels offense. >> the report is that a decision was made to curtail the decision. >> you have to exert executive privilege to prevent the witness from answering questions. i dont think that chief of staff was actually in the loop. i think bannon was in touch with mcgann. they were operating under the presidents directives to not answer questions. the breadth of the privilege they a...

And i dont think that the chief of staff was actually in the loop. i think bannon was in touch with mcbegan and operating under the presidents directives not to answer questions. the bigger problem on the executive privilege claim is the breath of the privilege they are asserting. to say they are asserting privilege for the transition period. where i cant find any constitutional basis for that. it seems to me the executive privilege starts when youre the executive. we have one at the time. and s...
