and nick ackerman, an assist tenant special watergate prosecutor. and natasha bertrand, staff writer at the atlantic. harry lipman, i want to go to what leads like a novel legal theory, that as a "new york times" reports, the president's lawyers are thinking that mr. mueller lacks the legal standing to question mr. trump about some of the matters that he is investigating, like the president's role in providing misleading response to the "new york times" and even the president's role in talking to james comey about the flynn case. >> well, novel is one word for it. i think a better word would be muddled and meritless. they seem to be confused between potential defenses that they could offer and the potential right or in this case obligation to answer questions in the first place. it's straightforward that somebody has to answer questions. there's a special case about the president that i'm sure we'll get to. but they're completely confused in thinking that just because they might have some valid claim on the merits that that somehow might mean muelle

. >> let's bring in former assistant special watergate investigator nick ackerman.re seems to be evidence of this. the states who may or may not have enough information to determine whether they were hacked, why are we -- why are we facing that resistance? were experts saying you were hacked and the state saying we're not? >> probably because they don't want to admit they were, in fact, hacked. that they weren't doing the proper job. i think what's really of concern here is that we're getting the report that there's no evidence that any votes were changed, no evidence voters were taken off the roll. how do we know this? i do this for corporate clients, at potential hackers. unless there's really an audit trail that's built into the computer system, there's really no way to know if anybody is changed any of the data, whether anybody has taken any of the data that's in there. i'm very skeptical when they say that no votes were changed and no voters were taken off the rolls. did spomebody take a paper list of voters and compare it against what was that there? i doubt i

what did this guy do then in the ackerman house? bill: we assume he broke in through a rear window. you can assume he did that because he always did. , soact, he loved windows much so that if there was a door and a window that both could be easily opened, he would go through the window. he just prefer to do that. he was a small man come a very easy -- a small man, very athletic, and it was easy for him to scramble through windows. there are two reasons to think he entered from the rear of the house. one is that he always did, and the other is that some of the victims, three i believe, including the two day old baby, were found outside the front door as if they had been chased in that direction toward the front of the house and hit with an ax just after they exited the front of the house. brian: i kept asking, why didn't any of these folks get away from the sky -- this guy? in all the incidents they seem to all die. bill: that is one of the most workable things about the series of crimes is the remarkably low number of people who lived through the event in any way, shape, or form. he

nick ackerman, former watergate special prosecutor, now a partner matadat dorsey and whit. when you see this, and you see this sparring, do you view this as part of why the white house is so eager to focus on other stories right now? >> yes. >> and in your view does hope have a problem? >> hope has a problem, depending on, as you pointed out, depending on what she said, it's possible she's guilty of -- not because she was trying to interfere with the emails getting out, but because she didn't understand the process and what might happen down the road in the investigation. butdeeply problematic that you have someone on the president's team during an investigation that literal lly seems to apparently may have participated in trying to obfuscate something happening in a criminal investigation. >> and that's what it always seems to come back to, and this is a fact that's very uncomfortable for president trump and potentially legally vital. he wasn't in the trump tower russia meeting. he disclaims any knowledge of it and any premeditated role on setting it up to get dirt on hill
