but cobb is no slouch. and by he i mean saltwater taffy mascot, ty cobb.won huge legal cases including when he successfully defended a beef processor against charges of lying to investigators. that was very generous of cobb to help out a rival cattle baron. but just because he's ruthless in the court room doesn't mean that there isn't a soft side to trump lawyer and lollipop guild strike breaker, ty cobb. for example, he was described by cnn legal analyst michael zeldin as "a genuinely nice man." of course, it's not surprising that you'd get a nice vibe from trump lawyer and rejected westworld saloon keeper, ty cobb. today, his new client, donald trump, unveiled "made in america" week. possibly to distract from the fact that his campaign was made in russia. one of the products "made in america" that he highlighted was a big shiny fire truck! and the president, of course, could not resist getting in. ( laughter ) where's the fire? we haven't found the fire, yet, mr. president, but there's more smoke every day. ( cheers and applause ) we've got a great show

ty cobb has said they're cooperating fully to move this forward.d think that wouldn't be an issue at all. >> neil: how do you think word of this grand jury empaneling got out? >> there's the question. you know, these are supposed to be proceedings in secret. they're supposed to be not public. again, subpoenas were issued as is being reported and people were being required to put documents up, there could be multiple sources. generally that's not the way it's supposed to happen. as you know, neil, it happens often. >> neil: also what has come up, the last time the president spoke about his frustration with this process in an interview, you know, with the "wall street journal" and others, he was a little annoyed that it was going beyond the original scope, looking into his financial activities. do you think that is fair game? to go into areas that heretofore we were told they were not going into? >> i've said this from the beginning is. an examination beyond the mandate appropriate? the answer is it's not. there's supposed to be an investigation as r

and ty cobb said something that reflects the thinking of all of us, including the president. anything that gets us steps further to this conclusion of what the president has called a complete, false and fabricated lie, a conclusion in search of evidence, anything that brings us closer to that conclusion, we are all for. but so far, you've got conclusion, and no collusion. and anybody who denies that is lying. we were promised watergate, we were promised direct evidence of interfering and changing the electoral results. people talk about the 70,000 votes in michigan and pennsylvania. and wisconsin. there's none of that. nobody even talks about that. what about adam schiff and mark warner? the two democrats who are in charge of the intelligence committee? they spend more time on tv than they do interviewing witnesses. >> we will see what happens. >> it's about an excuse for the democrats who have no vision. even democrats don't want to be democrats any more. the democratic governor of west virginia became a republican this week, because his party is so out of touch with everyda

cobb and mr. dowd earlier. with respect to the impaneling of the grand jury, we have no reason to believe that the president is under investigation. the point i'll make about all of these statements taken together they are remarkably on the same message. they have clearly coordinated about this. the big question mark remains will the president follow suit? again, we're tracking that big campaign style rally he'll have in west virginia. >> it's interesting they continue to cite something that james comey said to the president, which was the impetus for the president himself coming under scrutiny for potential or possible obstruction of justice. an interesting talking point on a day like today. >> it's an interesting strategy for sure. and the fact that we now have it two different members of the president's legal team clearly this is going to be the talking point moving forward. to sort of remind people about what the president has said, which is that james comey told him three separate times that he's not under

>> i would defer that to the white house special counsel ty cobb. with the grand jury information today, we have no reason to believe that the president is under investigation here. that's where it is right now. >> sean: how long does it go on? >> look, sean, how long the ultimate investigation goes on only investigators will know that. but the two issues that the president, that by terminating james comey is obstruction of justice. i don't think it goes on that

the tone ty cobb talk, not this is a terrible witch hunt but rather we look forward to fully cooperating and we hope this

you can decorate ty cobb all you want. kellyanne conway, choose alternative facts and prettier words, but it doesn't make a difference. >> as "the wall street journal" reported last week, mueller has impanelled a grand jury. this investigation is ramping up, not winding down. yes, it does matter what his legal team says, does matter they're embracing the investigation, but it's still shocking after 200 days in office the president has not embraced the investigation or shown any desire to get to the bottom of russia's meddling in the election. that's the one thing he could do that would take the spotlight off the russia investigation. he refuses to do it. yes, there are signs everywhere that the more he tweets like he did this morning, the more the spotlight will shine, the more the news will talk about it, the more it is not going away for him. and you also have these major questions about obstruction of justice every time he does this. >> how about republicans who are getting away from him? kellyanne conway can change her

ty cobb and other lawyers around the white house will take it seriously. what you say on the campaign trail and the sunday shows doesn't work in a grand jury situation. >> congressman kingston is someone who was a surrogate for the trump campaign, a supporter of the president. what do you make of the fact we know from reporting this mueller probe and grand jury includes subpoenas directly related to the don jr. meeting, which included paul manafort, jared kushner and that russian lawyer? >> i think sometimes we worry this is going to get out of control, that here is an investigation with an unlimited budget with the ability to hire people right and left, including, bipartisans. >> that's how these things work. remember the clinton administration? would you be saying that about that? >> ken star was in real estate deals and ended up with a 24-year-old woman and a blue dress. >> that is how this worked and republicans didn't have a problem with it then. >> actually, i think many of us did have a problem then and i thought there should have been far more subs

from ty cobb, who is the newly appointed attorney for the white house counsel's office here at the white house, looking specifically into the russia investigation. "grand jury manners are typically secret. the white house favors anything that accelerates the conclusion of his work fairly. that would be robert mueller he's talking about. "white house committed to cooperating with mr. moeller. "john dowd leading the team "we have no reason to believe president trump is under investigation. reuters reporting that subpoenas have been issued by the grand jury in connection to the june 26 meeting. we have contacted some of the people who are potentially targets of the subpoenas. so far, no confirmation in any subpoenas have been received. a reminder that people like paul manafort and jared kushner have already been providing information. in some cases, jared kushner's case, interview with the senate congressional committee. they are fully confident that if they grand jury is looking into anything, they are looking into information that's already been supplied in other areas of the investigator

>> that ty cobb recognizes the benefit of cooperating with the investigation.r has a lot of discretion on how he can proceed with this investigation. which he ask the white house to turn over documents or he can send them subpoenas which are, you know, a firmer position to take. he can let people do interviews with the fbi in the quiet of their office, or subpoena them to come down before the grand jury where reporters and other people see them coming in and out. he clearly understands it is important to be seen as cooperating with mueller. but the question as you said in your intro is whether or not the president, and jay, his tv lawyer in a sense, get that. i don't think there is any evidence yet they do. >> what happens when there is a disconnect between those two, when the president goes out to bad mouth the investigation and his lawyer is trying to do things the traditional way. and as matt was talking about, speak respectfully. >> skakatie, we're going to see just that. if the president will go out and bash special council mueller, take shots at the inves

cobb told me "we favor anything that brings this investigation to a swift conclusion."hat i've talked to said, you know, this isn't a big deal. it's a routine investigatory tool. but we have seen in the past this these grand jury investigations can go different directions. the white house is accepting this of what they thought the process would be. i don't know that anybody thought that robert mueller would engage in this investigation and not at some point empanel a grand jury to hear some sort of evidence and perhaps testimony on top of that. but folks that i've been talking to have been playing this idea down, suggest that it's really no big deal. something that they expected and again to quote ty cobb saying they favor anything that brings this investigation to a swift conclusion. it would though, shep, on the surface seem to change the overall urgency of all of this. but folks that are very familiar with the legal industry know that this is just something that investigators do in order to find out if there's enough evidence to bring charges against anyone. shep? >>

cobb county police lieutenant greg abbott is telling the driver, he is arresting her for dui. she's afraid to reach for her phone. she's afraid of being shot. >> but you're not black. remember, we only shoot black people. yeah, we only kill black people, right? >> we only shoot black people. cobb county commission chairman mike boyce calls the comments repugnant, and offensive beyond measure. the police chief says lieutenant abbott will be fired. abbott has been on the force >>> coming up, the latest on a really big search to find a child's stuffed animal at reagan international airport. >> a 69-year-old vietnam veteran chains himself to his residence he's been fighting to keep. >> welcome to tackle your tailgate forecast, brought to you by comcast xfinity. washington and tampa bay. if you're lucky enough to know somebody tailgating there, it is toasty. temperatures in the 80s. the good news, it's going to be dry before the game. but look at this. winds out of the west-southwest at 10, and partly cloudy, to mostly cloudy skies. i don't think they're going to see >>> 69-year-ol

>> i think the tone has changed since he brought inside the white house, ty cobb. i think you've seen a different approach. i think the tweets have dimin h diminished and that's brought the seriousness for him and especially inside the white house. the two figures that are key to this right now are manafort and flynn, as she mentioned. and i would mention as a former prosecutor and someone who's defended the wrongly accused, manafort and flynn are having a tremendous amount of pressure put on them. and we're seeing that especially mann manifest right now. to sit down, to give a proper interview or -- and to understand the scope of this campaign because as manafort was the campaign chairman for five or six months, i think rightfully the special counsel's going to determine he might know if there was coordination beteen the russian government and the trump campaign. >> can -- >> go ahead. >> just to pick up on what matthew said and the pressure that both flynn and manafort are feeling is it's unlikely that both of them will be offered the golden ticket. that in fact

on this matter of the investigation, ty cobb, a special counsel to the president, has said that anything that accelerates the process, we are for. and we will continue to cooperate. but let's not foreguest what also the "wall street journal" did last week. they did everybody a favor by showing an analysis of polling. americans are telling pollsters the top issues for them, jobs, healthcare, immigration. top issue for the media, russia, russia, and number three is you guessed it, russia. 6% of americans say it's the most important issue to them. 75% of the coverage has been about russia. a complete disconnect between what americans are telling all of us is important to them which the president gets and what the media is saying are important to them which they don't get. abby: kelly, maybe the greatest challenge within the white house right now are these leaks. the reason we know about this grand jury is because someone leaked it. do you know where that leak is coming from and what is the white house doing to clamp down on figuring out how to get rid of these leakers? >> remember, grand ju

>> it suggests that ty cobb may never have met his client. the first thing that donald trump says about this investigation is that it is phony and fake and that it's not real. and ty cobb is reacting as if this were a normal white house because that is the traditional response. that's what the clinton white house did during white water investigation. that's what the reagan white house did during iran contra investigation. certainly the president has never made any sort of indication that there is a cooperative attitude in the white house. >> if the president were to fire robert mueller how would that impact this grand jury? >> it's not donald trump who can fire director mueller. he has to get someone in the justice department to do it presumably he would ask the deputy attorney general who is in charge of the investigation. but if someone were to fire director mueller it's unclear to me what would happen because prosecutors run grand jurors. grand jury can't operate on their own. if the prosecutor is gone unless he were replaced the grand jur

here's the statement that we received from ty cobb. he's the attorney inside this white house. here's what he had to say. he said we favor anything that accelerates mr. mule ears work and remain committed to fully cooperating. mr. comey told the president at least three times he's not under skre investigation and we of e hard nothing that would change that. the only concern at the white house is that this be done as fast and fairly as possible. again, the president went on the offense, attacking not just hillary clinton, saying it's she who should be investigated but also going after democrats in general saying this is all a fabrication because democrats lack any message and any vision here. the president gets prepared to take off for his bed minister property, a working vacation for more than the next two weeks. this white house does feel like as evidenced by the president's remarks, it is going to push back on this as aggressively as it can. >> summer vie case acation in n jersey. that is music to my ears. bloomberg news white house reporter shannon petty piece and my panel,

brought in into the west wipg here specifically to deal with exactly these kinds of questions, ty cobb, who has joined now the white house team as an in-house counsel in addition to the president's outside attorneys. when all of this news began developing late yesterday when "the wall street journal" reported, they say, on the existence of a new grand jury, although you noted our nbc news reporting there, cobb said he hadn't heard about the idea that there was this new grand jury put together by the special counsel, but in essence, if you take a look at the statement here, whatever allows the process to move forward at this point, whatever allows mueller to finish his investigation fairly, that is something that the white house would support, adding that the white house and the president is fully committed to cooperating with bob mueller. the outside counsel really echoing that. we're talking the folks who the president has retained as his personal attorneys, including john dowd who said, listen, there's no reason to believe that the president himself is actually under investigation. a

. >> i actually spoke with ty cobb today, the president's lawyer inside the white house, not the white house counsel, and he makes the point that, you know, we're cooperating fully. we're going to continue to cooperate fully. and maybe this is a sign -- this is their point of view, putting a good spin on it, i would say, maybe this is a sign that mueller is moving quickly to get this over with. you know, the other side is maybe this is a side that this is getting really serious. >> which is the big question. of course we saw the president there refusing to take questions. he's going to be speaking at this rally. let's see if he lashes back. that's going to be a crucial thing to watch this hour as he takes the stage. richard, i want to understand and our viewers to understand this point that gloria and michael are making, right? is this a big development in the sense of mueller thinking he has something now, or is it a matter of process, right? because we all know there was already a grand jury that was convened in virginia before mueller took over and that grand jury issued subpoenas t

ty cobb who is the attorney that has been brought in.all metals related to this he was not aware that he has impaneled a grand jury but told us we favor anything that brings this investigation to a swift conclusion. that is just coming in moments ago. it's kinda been an unusual day here at the white house. there were transcripts that were released by the washington post and we had been in the wait and see mode. it's kind of been a wait and see mode until the present and his appearance later tonight. they teased a major announcement we have that later tonight. the calls earlier this morning. we have just been waiting here on what has been an unusually flat today. and that all the senate this drops. i bring it up because it brings russia front and center here the white house has to respond to this. they will be a gaggle aboard air force one without white house press secretary. now all of the questions or at least a lot of them switch back into this narrative. this white house has tried to get off of. the president has said he has done noth

since john dowd and those folks came on board, you will see potentially a greater presence from ty cobb, who was brought on specifically to deal with these exact questions. he is now on the white house payroll because of all this, and to talk about this kind of thing. i imagine he'll take a turn at the podium, and be an increased presence when it comes to i think answering reporters' questions and trying to push sort of the white house point of view, and the white house perspective on this. it's my sense that sara huckabee sanders is going to try to insulate that part of the communications shop against this. that said, we have been saying this and we know this. this is the thing that annoys the president the most. he hates when people ask questions about it. he hates his staffers getting questions about it. you know, the response might be to the president, too bad because there's going to continue to be these stories coming out for as long as this special counsel investigation continues, which could be months, if not, years. >> by the way on ty cobb from his name to his mustache, who wo

this development and that it's not causing any anxiety because as you know, on the record from ty cobb's counsel over there in the white house, he has said that they intend to cooperate fully, and that this means that they see it as a sign that mueller wants to proceed and get in over with quickly. and of course they'd like nothing more than that. >> ty cobb issued a statement among other things saying, white house wasn't aware that robert mueller had started using a grand jury, but he did go on to say that the white house is committed to fully cooperating with mr. mueller. you know, phil, you used to work at fbi, cia, how does a grand jury right now help this investigation move forward? >> look, we've seen the white house talk about how they want this to move forward. i would point out except for the truthfulness of witnesses including don jr. who couldn't manage to say this is what happened in the meeting until the "new york times" broke it. that relates to the grand jury, if you can't trust the people you're interviewing, there are other avenues. one of them is more interviews with

. >> so, david, when the president's lawyer, ty cobb, says this will accelerate the russia investigationis he right? does that mean that benefits the white house or not? >> i think it will certainly accelerate the investigation, writ large, but when you look at the flynn situation, what apparently, according to the "times" story they're interested in is the payments flynn may have received from the turkish government. the turkish government of erdogan, really the dictator that seized power after a coup last year in turkey. flynn received substantial payments from turkey before trump was sworn in, before flynn became national security adviser. >> and didn't disclose it. >> flynn was supposed to encourage the trump administration to embrace the reign of erdogan and discredit one of my neighbors in pennsylvania, supposedly one of the authors of the opposition campaign against erdogan. you'll have to remember that one of the earliest world leaders to visit trump in the white house was erdogan. he got just a tumultuous reception from trump. he was embraced by trump and so on. one of the issue
