Perhaps congress was wear that this investigation started. if at the end they can t find a smoking gun evidence that puts the president in a compromising position. then democrats have a problem. they keep saying that he s somehow included with the russians, if they don t find that evidence, democrats are going to and a lot of talking heads are going to have to do a lot of explaining to the american public. thank you very much. frank, i m going to let you go, alfonso, jennifer and adam have to stay with me. quick programming note, former acting fbi director andrew mccabe is sitting down with lawrence o donnell tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern on msnbc. is america ready to feel the burn once again? how bernie sander s entry into the 2020 race could impact an already very crowded field. for my family. in only 8 weeks with mavyret,
Investigations incolliding tracking terrorists. protecting elected officials including you and your family. they are being put in a compromising position. dozens of agencies including the secret service are included in the association. yeah. that says law enforcement officers. people tasked with protecting us and protecting members of the administration. and the president. of course we know secret service is not getting paid. coast guard and on and on. it s just can t they get a loan? can t they just get loans? that speaks to that. this letter that you just read. they re trying to get folks to understand this. the president saying i ll make adjustments and someone like ross saying can t they get loans
Course whs course, when it comes to donald trump of potentially salacious videotape. of, you know, certain things that could put him in a compromising position as the leader of the free world essentially. another point of leverage that co-have has to do with his real estate career and as we know, he hid his desire to pursue a real estate deal in moscow during the election. why did he hide that? if it was such a nothing burger, as he s led us to believe, why didn t he just come out and tell the american people and the people that votes for him the reason he was perhaps cozying up to vladimir putin during the election is because he was trying to pursue a multimillion dollar deal there. these are both areas the russian koss have blackmailed him. especially where he was having conversations, perhaps, with russian leadership or his proxies were that were not known to the general public nap could be held over his head. in terms of what it would look like if someone was compromised by the russians or by anyone,
we did that one, and emily lutena, she refined it and made it what it was. i remember as a kid, roseanne rosanna dana did something on my mom. every time we did roseanne rosanna dana, we would pick a celebrity that roseanne rosanna dana would see in some compromising position or some embarrassing situation, and i think your mom had toilet paper on her shoe. that i remember. there was an incident that happened with the censor. what happened with, i had written a line where gilda would name your mom and identify, you know that scmancy-fancy lady who took her family s good name and put it on every ass in america.
Premiere, love, gilda. anderson recently spoke with one of radradner s close friends fr saturday night live. you and her created some of the most iconic characters, i mean rosanna rosannadanna. that s one we did together. there was another one that was created by a lot of people. emily loutella. but she and i ultimately refined it and made it what it was, but there was a lot of hands in that one. i remember as a kid, rosanna rosannadanna did something you did something on my mom. it was, what we did every time we did rosanna rosanna dan that we would pick a celebrity that she would see in some either compromising position or some embarrassing situation, and i think your mom had toilet paper on her shoe. yes, that i remember. but there was an incident that happened with the sensor. what happened was, i had written
With one another and have clarity into what is being represented to foreign officials. i do think it opens up one, the general risk of a policy that is not cohesive and sam is right. there are counter intelligence risks and specifics to the fact that kushner is providing this information and not following the rules and potentially putting himself in a compromising position. the white house spokesperson did put out a statement saying he has been following all the rules and he is following protocol. that s their defense on this reporting. sam, kushner has no substantial real middle east experience, but he has been family friends with benjamin netanyahu and he was going to be their guy to help bring peace in the mideast. what really in your view may have brought kushner and the crown prince together? it s a very simple answer.
Did that give the russians a form of kompromat over the future president? well, i think it does. i mean, the russians will engender kompromat, their acronym for compromising material, whether it s real or contrived. so anything that even smacks of putting himself in a compromising position. and whether or not this is true about the offer of the $50 million penthouse in trump tower moscow. yeah, that gives the russians potentially some to use congressman nadler s term, leverage. and that s what the russians looked for. and that s why they tried to generate kompromat. i want to switch gears and talk about gina haspel, the cia director, that s going to brief a small group of lawmakers, democrats and republicans, tomorrow on the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi. remember last week the trump administration denied this opportunity? what do you think she s going to be able to convey to lawmakers?
Flynn. let s talk about the other michael, michael cohen, because we learned from him about a potential trump tower moscow deal including that trump was kept appraised or apprised during the presidential campaign, briefed family members. we didn t know about it. did that give the russians a form of kompromat over the future president? well, i think it does. i mean, the russians will enjerroder kompromat, their acronym for compromising material, whether it s real or contrived. so anything that even smacks of putting himself in a compromising position. and whether or not this is true about the offer of the $50 million penthouse in trump tower moscow. yeah, that gives the russians potentially some to use congressman nadler s term, leverage. and that s what the russians looked for. and that s why they tried to
Compromising position because he oversees the fbi as the acting attorney general. frank, can you jump in on that question that was just raised that he s under investigation by the fbi, and he oversees the department of justice which houses the fbi. so the highest ranking u.s. government official overseeing all fraud operations, anti-fraud investigations in our government may well be wrapped up in a significant fraud himself. as of today s revelation may have given a false statement or inaccurate statement to an investigator at the ftc resulting in an fbi referral. this is wounding to whitaker. i don t see how he survives this or gets nominated to be ag and makes it. i m not sure he s this choice could not have been worse for the president as an acting ag. he s in a trick bag. if he wants to act out and do something with mueller and
And that is what we re going to continue to see in a minute-by-minute way, with the back and forth over how wide this fbi probe should be and how much it was intended to be. go ahead, david. then i ve got a question for you. that murkiness that dana is talking about, i think, is why the president is less focused on the number of interviews or people that can be interviewed and more on the clock. he just kept saying, the thing that i want is that this gets done by the end of this week. get it done. get it done quickly. and that s why you re hearing that focus there, with because there s an understanding of how murky it can get. i wanted to ask you about the moment where through all of this and of course, he s defending his pick for the supreme court he starts talking about someone from the other side that he s seen in a compromising position. hang tight. quick break. i want your guesses on who the heck he was talking about. we ll be right back. opportunity is everywhere.
