speaking tomorrow. joining me now, susan glasser, staff writer at the new yorker and co-writer of the divider. susan, i was really struck by a number of different exchanges in this court filing on the docket. but the first was the way in which trump has managed to puppeteer literally every single person around him, including his lawyer, in an email exchange with the judge. i am not a student of the law, but it just doesn't seem tbe a typical thing to have a lawyer writing things about a wrongfully demeaned client who has been belittled by an out-of-control politically motivated attorney general and the client needs to speak about things that must be spoken about. what do you make of the odd relationship that is being revealed here? >> alex, i have always thought and in fact our reporting
