Presidential campaign and entanglements with russia was in fact telling the white house everything he knew about that investigation, trying to make sure that investigation would do no harm to anyone in trump world. but democracy spoke on november 6th. and so now devin nunes has only days left in the chairmanship of that committee. democrat adam schiff will become the chairman of that committee in january and that means the devon nunes cover-up is over, its all over. and thats why "the washington...

It really does depend on what robert mueller comes back with. democrats take from that lesson 20 years ago that republicans, you know, didnt succeed in the impeachment with clinton because they couldnt get a bipartisan 2/3 majority in the senate. democratic leaders understand today they do not have a 2/3 bipartisan majority in the senate for anything like this today. and so it would be an unsuccessful effort if they were to proceed under the current information they have. that may change if robe...

Giuliani previously argued that trump had limited understanding of campaign finance laws. with all of that in mind we bring in our lead-off panel on a wednesday night. peter baker, chief white house correspondent for the "new york times." mimi rocah, a former u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york, now a distinguished fellow in criminal justice at the pace university school of law. and the aforementioned manuel roy franzia, features writer for the "washington post." manuel, id like ...

They write, "the mueller team asked the house intelligence committee on friday for an official transcript of stones testimony according to people familiar with the request. its the first time mueller has asked the committee to turn over material the panel has gathered in its investigation of russian interference of the 2016 campaign according to the people." the piece adds that stone who was "in contact with the candidate during the 2016 campaign has been a focus of the special counsel as muelle...

Focusing on another roger stone associate in regard to wikileaks. late last month reports emerged that mueller has e-mails from the new york-based birther and conspiracy theorist jerome corsi written to stone that seem to anticipate the release of hacked democratic e-mails during the campaign. both men deny having any inside knowledge about what wikileaks was planning. stone has said he spoke to trump the day after receiving those messages from corsi. this weekend trump lawyer rudy giuliani was ...

What will the evidence be that mueller puts forward of his lies to congress? that will be very revealing to us. >> peter, im not going to ask you if the west wing is preoccupied with all these preliminary matters. im going to ask you how much. keeping in mind last night the u.s. senate passed a groundbreaking landmark piece of legislation on criminal justice and sentencing reform. its going to free thousands of people from our prisons across the country. that could have been a layup day. an easy...

Yesterday he told the new york daily news, i dont think i said nobody signed it. giuliani went onto tell the daily news of course trump signed it and it was a bull expletive letter because that was the end of it. court filings in the indictment of michael cohen claim that discussions about the project continues for another eighth months, nearly up to the 2016 republican convention. a new report from robert muellers office appears to indication more action could be just around the corner. for t...

O obligation to inform anybody. this was testimony that was offered to the congress. because it was done in executive session, it is not a public document. now, remember, wolf, the other thing i would adhere is that the intention of the committee was to release all of the transcripts, and the only reason they havent all been released is because theyre going through a process of declassification, showing the transcripts to the intelligence community to make sure there isnt classified information....

Person who will be a difficult witness but he has important information he can assist on. they ripped up that cooperation agreement because they went down the wrong road and paul manafort continued to lie. given how theyve been burned before and how assiduous they want to be about these kind of things, the idea of having roger stone as a cooperator you can rely on to make cases against other people strikes me as kind of far fetched. >> as "the washington post" notes, this is the first time muell...

Transcript or maybe have a copy of the krtranscript but need an official transcript to proceed legally. >> im surprised he waited so long to get this. >> it is interesting. number one, in the article it mentions this is the first time muellers team has made sauuch move. we dont know what he is scrutinizing in the testimony, but the big question with roger stone has been how did he predict with such accuracy that the wikileaks were going to dump the podesta e-mails, hillary clintons campaign chai...
