More serious. youre in a death spiral of stupid. this is insanity. >> death spiral of stupid. your take on this? >> i agree. theres a saying i learned. if you have the facts pound the facts. if you dont have to facts pound the law and if you dont have either pound the table. sounds like we heard giuliani doing a lot of table pounding. >> i know you wrote in october and suggested mueller may have subpoenaed the president. giuliani said he has not been seasoned but he doesnt know because it could ...

He thinks some will join with democrats in that front and its not impossible given what mueller finds and how political circumstances deteriorate that its not out to have the question that a senate could convict on impeachment charges. it is a heavy uphill task. well have to see what mueller lays down. >> certainly. it will be more friendly to point donald trump. what about what includes a possible government shutdown. is the president imping for one to happen or you think he is looking for a co...

>> well, its tantalizing, first of all, he comes across as a model cooperator. as you said, its important every prosecutor wants someone come in early to induce others. he did just that. obviously full-bodied including documents. but the details we dont know. there are three matters, one is this completely blacked out krg investigation. the other is what we would have thought of as the bread and butter of the matter, the russia campaign. then the third, this page here it -- has a read it, whats ...

About a big area that will mueller senior pursuing that we dont -- that has not yet really come home in a way to make us aware of it. so whats not in there of course, is in some ways the most significant but generally, you see flynn a guy who broke it early and really gave a lot as sara just detailed. >> listen if i was at the white house right now, dont you think youd be going oh, my gosh, am i part of that redacted part. what do you think the criminal investigation could be about, josh? >> don...

Huge parts of this that are redacted because it will includes, quote, sensitive information about ongoing investigations. >> it tells you that theres still very active probes not only when it comes to the special councils investigation but it refers to a criminal investigation and everything afterwards is redacted. it said that flynn cooperated with other justice department offices. that tells you that he wasnt just involved necessarily in the special counsels probe that he was probably helping ...

Good to have both of you on. ryan, well start with you because you heard rudy giulianis response and trump ally in mark meadows said this had tonight on the filing. he said "good news for the president." do you see good news here? >> no, i mean, look, we can ignore most of that. its just spin and bs to try and downplay the gravity of whats happening here. and i think you know, despite the fact that so much was redacted in these memos there are three really important things we learned tonight. on...

>> kids, mothers, young men, men, desperate for something better and hope in short supply. but first, were getting a better idea of why michael cohen flipped on president trump. sources tell us he was initially led to believe that a pardon might be an option. but things changed. trumps business dealings are now front and center in the russia probe, a red line not only for the president but for the man he chose to take charge of the investigation. listen to matthew whitaker on cnn right before he...
