Close. >> it seems like hes trying to play the short game but not looking at the long game of what this could mean. it could be also if youre reading the tea leaves, we might be getting ahead, he might it be worried cohen is going to flip. >> wouldnt you if you were one of robert muellers people, ive come to trust you a lot in this analysis, call up in cohen? did you see your friend this morning? did you see how he separated himself from you? did you see him dump on you and say youre nothing but...

Hacking. he says why didnt they raid them. its crazy. joyce, your thoughts about where he says dont ask me to -- dont ask your father to stop the car. there might be kids back there. this threat is pretty direct from trump. are you listening, joyce? >> i guess -- im sorry. shes not reacting, not hearing. back to you. this other question, the democrats, hes out there calling out the members of the prosecution team as a bunch of democrats. well, i dont think comey is a democrat and rosenstein is n...

Has been known to change his story particularly on sensitive things like this. the point is, mueller has so much -- so much proof and so much evidence from so many different people that whatever comey said in this memo is probably a very tiny part of this investigation if really part of it at all on this point because hes talked to so many people. >> the salacious aspect of this thing. joyce, everybody has heard about the so-caused golden shower, the whole thing. theyve all heard the grossness a...

That is a concern. on a day that the senate committee voted through legislation to try to protect the special counsel. the president today sort of dangles a warning like hey, if this goes too far, i might step in. that could mean firing rosenstein or trying to dismiss mueller. that is as always, he says the cloud is hanging over his head. hes dangling the cloud over that. >> thank you jonathan capehart, jen kerns and jonathan lew mere. up next, its been a mystery for decades how did reagan get h...

That hearing dealt with whether mueller exceeded his authority by indicting manafort on charges of laundering millions of dollars while acts as an unregistered agent of the ukranian government. lawyers from manafort who has pled not guilty to the charges argue that the charges have nothing to do with muellers central mission of determining whether anyone in the trump campaign had links to the russian government. but federal prosecutors argue that mueller did not exceed his authority by indicting...

The debate and the political mud slinging aside, will endure long after the book tour is over is that comey leaves unanswered the two central questions of the mueller probe, did the president obstruct justice and does vladimir putin have something on him. >> and you know, really the data that was put together, the evidence on those questions really didnt begin to even be compiled until after comey had been fired. so, theres been a lot of conversation about whether mueller will be happy to see on...

Say we always need to start with diplomacy. certainly, they knew there would be military action. it was made clear there would be strikes. we did not see a response from russia just yet. we do need to keep our eyes open to any sort of retaliation, but it does make this a very tenuous situation. >> let me ask you a couple of separate questions about the russia investigation. first, the legislation thats a bipartisan legislation and tom tillis, lindsay graham and cory booker, essentially to protec...

Any matter is not currently under investigation, should be opened, whether any matter is currently under investigation requires further resources or whether any matters merit the appointment of a special counsel. so he certainly is leaving the door open for now, but sort of sidestepping the issue by appointing huber who has the ability to bring charges. >> laura jarrett, making sense of all of that for us from the state department, thank you. lets discuss this more with our panel, we have cnn po...
