rolling dumpster fire of an atmosphere for anyone to want to work there. not only that, you might have to have a lawyer on retainer because of the mueller investigation that's swirling around this white house. so, you know, all of these folks -- yesterday around this time people were pulling their names off the list, basically saying absolutely not, that was meadows, and now you have a sense they're trying to, you know, kind of at least acknowledge maybe this would be a good job, play nice with the president. still unlikely i think that a lot of those folks on the list actually want the job and will take t we'll see. >> one of the reasons i think the president is angry -- >> thank you. >> -- as you would like to say, david chalian, is that the reporting on the story has gone from bad to worse for the president. you have "the new york times" and "washington post" reporting overnight that the president had no plan b after nick ayers. one of the stories said that the president was left at the alter by nick ayers. this is tough stuff for the president. one of the reasons the president liked nick ayers all along is

this. a false alarm when it comes to that. interesting that you have the president reportedly trying to force him to fire robert mueller last year, but mcgahn, in essence, refused to and threatened to quit. but the person in the white house who kept the president from firing mueller is leaving. where does that leave the special counsel? >> first of all, i don't think anybody working for the president has much job security, and i think anybody working for the president probably should have a headhunter on retainer. other than that, i don't think it tells you anything. the white house counsel is an important job. it represents the presidency, not the president. >> i have to ask you before we go, being a former watergate assistant prosecutor, when you have this investigation, what are the parallels, the similarities you're seeing between this one and the one you were a part of, especially since we know how that ended? >> that ended with the congress and that's a political matter.

these -- the search for evidence and this payment that was sent to michael cohen or to cover his costs for the $130,000 check that he wrote stormy daniels. a lot of people will read sinister intentions to that. if it doesn't involve campaign funds, there's no there there. but after that, it's anyone's guess. what do you think? >> that's what it looks like to me. you have the one hand, it could be an unseemly situation and voters will have to make a decision about that. on the other hand, if there's no there there, you don't have a legal issue and you've got to move passed it at some point and it is a political issue than a legal issue. as you said, it's changing hour by hour. so to make any definitive read is completely impossible. >> neil: the wealthy have a lawyer on retainer, they take care of business. the president was paying mr. cohen $35,000 a month in

you obviously have to clear them first to get approval to do them. what is giving you the impetus to do it to get that approval? how do you submit it to a judge to be allowed to do it? >> reading tea leaves here. follow the money. we're talking about the money itself. let's follow the money. step number 1. cohen said i took a loan out. we know campaign laws say very specifically, the maximum contribution can be $2,700. if the loan was $130,000, that bank form that you filed apparently according to cohen that he had this arrangement of this loan, what was the purpose of the loan? even if it was repaid. that's one version. we don't know if that will be solidified in the investigation. that's one. when you talk about the president saying, well, i gave him a retainer, a monthly retainer that he could take care of whatever expenses and i wasn't aware of what he's doing. an ethical lawyer will say, if i'm giving a retainer by a client, that's going to be set

forth in what is called an i owe account. if i want to then use some of those funds, i need to get expressed permission from the client. so i have direct communication with the client, can i use these monies that you've given in the retainer to pay these fees. it's that communication. and then they'll look and say, even if there was a reimbursement, nothing to do with the campaign, then was there -- let's look at the timing. the timing is an issue. you're looking for the intent of the $130,000. if you look at the intent, so timing will be an issue. it's all evolving now. >> neil: it is. >> we're not sure -- >> neil: in the hour. thanks very much. we want to get the read on this with brian brenberg. to mercedes point, professor, it's all about what comes out of

retainer to cover anything that might come up. he writes a check to this woman to sort of get it behind them. rudy guliani was on here earlier to say that there was no acknowledgements of wrong doing or there was any real relationship here, a one night stand, any of the above. this is the kind of thing that those that are successful deal with. does that make sense to you and the president wouldn't know the details? >> well, you know, this is the iss issue. the average american will say what is it like to have someone that thanks care of things for you? that's possible what cohen is supposed to do. how does that play to your average american that says i don't have somebody in my life like that. if i have that kind of money, i know what's going on. that's what the president and his team deal with. regardless of the legal issue, they have to deal with that narrative and how do they explain that to the american people as they look ahead to 2020 and even 2018.

forward the complaint on the stormy daniels payout, and alleged campaign finance violations. so this all starts with you and your group, paul. what's your reaction to the whirlwind of the last 18 hours? >> it's great to be back with you again. my reaction is that despite rudy giuliani's intentions, he made donald trump's legal problems much worse with his comments last night. as did the president with his comments this morning via tweet. >> why? >> because before last night, donald trump had denied any knowledge of this payment to stormy daniels. and what is required for a criminal violation of the campaign finance law is knowing and willful acts. president trump's acknowledgment of reimbursement, the acknowledge that he reimbursed cohen puts him in knowledge. >> there was something in the series of what appear to be lawyer-written tweets on the president's in which they talk about the fact that these arrangements of having a lawyer on retainer is common. so the implication here is that

we're getting, poppy, an exclusive obtained by cnn's kyung lah, a first look into the suspect's mind in his own words. this was from a deposition back in 2013 over a civil suit filed by stephen paddock the suspect against the cosmopolitan hotel for a slip and fall that he had. and in it he describes being the world's biggest video poker player. he would wager up to a million dollars a day, he would play all night, he says, and sleep all day. he would also stay primarily at las vegas hotel casinos and those, he said, were commed, about 95% of the time. he also in it described what he typically wore, black sweatpants and flip flops most of the time. we also know that he had a doctor on retainer, according to this deposition. that doctor prescribed him, he

grade. i think you have to place this in appropriate context, which is we are now in a culture-wide debate about the limits of religious liberties. you've seen it this year. you had the supreme court refuse to hear the case of the photographer in new mexico who said, i'm not going to shoot a same-sex wedding. you had it in the anti-gay discrimination laws that came in places like arizona, missouri kicked down the road in places like mississippi and georgia. so i think we're seeing now we know that there are limits to religious liberty that the ocean of religious liberty stops at the shoreline of the common good. i think in the years coming forward, we're going to have to determine as a society exactly where that shore is. >> very interesting. "the cycle" does keep a lawyer on retainer, because sometimes i get in trouble. you know how it is. ari, what's your take on today's decision? >> going to get into your case in a minute, toure. >> thank you. >> i think when you look at this case and try to figure out what is going on and does a corporation have a soul, these kind of questions, justice alito has a line that's the best

astounding. that is the really ugly story here. nobody is supervising it. no one test ran this thing. no one is paying attention. and the american taxpayers now get hit with a billion dollars. >> i think it's raising huge questions about the federal contracting system no doubt because we know that many of the people who were involved in this were sort of on retainer for the federal government. they didn't go through what would be a normal bidding process for this. and now all of these ceilings on the contracts are just being passed right through. and government watchdog groups are very concerned. >> and so there is just no end. there san hourly rate, nonstop. you get paid by the hour, and there is nothing -- nobody is policing it and the truth is, what the american people ought to know is that this is not something that's just going on with obama care. there is so many government contract contracts out there that do the same thing. >> i think that's right. this obama care web site we are seeing all the technical glitches that have arisen and they haven't been fixed yet.
