. >> fred, fred, i have to say that during the watergate period, the white house, and this is the richard nixon white house made the same claim, because what is the al tern tte? you can't have giuliani going forward to say, we are worried, even if they are, they can't say it publicly. >> but i guess worry sounds like that is the sentiment, jamil that is coming from the president when he tweets a reference to the nixon administration attorney john dean and calling him a rat almost says that, you know, maybe a warning to don mcgahn that, you know, you should only say but so much. what do you interpret from that coming from the president today? >> well, fredricka, it is hard to know what the president is thinking when he puts the tweets out there. and on one hand, he is admitting that i pulled don mcgahn to the tell the truth and the whole truth and if the president's story varies at all from don mcgahn's, that is a problem for him and talking about john dean and others with a parallel to nixon and -- >> why does he do that? >> it is inexplicable and he needs to get off of twitter right away

tamara keith, white house correspondent for npr, and richard painter was chief white house ethics adviser for george w. bush. why now? what's specific about the potential departure of mcgahn that's got so many people worried, or is it just one more thing that's making them worried? >> ali, it's just one more thing that's making them worry. this fear has been building for a while now as it looks increasingly likely that democrats have a real possibility of taking over the majority of the house at a minimum in november's midterm elections. and people around the president, his allies, including some of his advisers inside the white house, are very concerned that could lead to a barrage of subpoenas, of investigations, of inquiries into ethical misconduct in the administration, into increase perhaps into the president's businesses, and most dangerously, into possible impeachment proceedings, depending, of course, on what sort of report special counsel robert mueller issues regarding obstruction of justice. and so there is concern that trump is not prepared for that, that he hasn't hired the k

>> richard, the top-line takeaway from "the new york times" report is the white house counsel don mcghan, over the fear that the white house was setting him up to take the fall over any obstruction of justice, is now cooperating with the special counsel. it's a fairly breathtaking revelation. "the new york times" is reporting that in a series of interviews totaling some 30 hours, mcgann is telling the special counsel about the president's outrage, his anger over the russia investigation and how he has urged mcgann to respond to it. this includes things like firing james comey, pressuring the attorney general, jeff sessions, to do the president's bidding. also attempting to fire robert mueller, the special counsel. so mcgann in deciding to cooperate with the mueller team is really taking the view of the president's first team, his first outside team of attorneys, who took the president at his word and who also thought that by cooperating with the special counsel would bring about a quicker end to the overall investigation. that is something that president trump said he wanted to see. so t

. >>> you could dre the same parallel to richard nixon's white house counsel, john dean. the times writing, mr. mcgahn told people he was determined to avoid the fate of the white house counsel for president nixon, john m. dean, who was imprisoned in the watergate scandal. i talked to dean a short while ago. here's our conversation. jon, what's your reaction and your reporting that you were on mcgahn's mind. >> i think mcgahn is doing the right thing. post-watergate they resolved a tricky question as to who is the client of the white house counsel, and they decided it's not the president himself, but rather the office of the president. so he is -- he is doing the right thing in representing the office of the president, and there can be conflicts between the incumbent and the office. don did get wrong i went to prison. i actually didn't. i was in the witness protection program on and off from june of 197 a -- excuse me 1973 june to january of 1975. >> the "new york times," quoting a former whitewater investigator saying, this is like having the keys to the kingdom. is that

richard? >> nbc white house correspondent, great to have you to lay it all out for us there.'donnell, thank you. let's go to manu puza, msnbc contributor. matt, in the last 12 hours, we were highlighting what might have been of interest, and that is the admit tatanceadmittance, that the president was of the understanding there was a meeting to get information on an opponent. >> kelly is giving me ptsd here, because i was actually the one back in july of last year whose job it was as part of the "times" team that revealed the existence of this trump tower meeting, and it was my job to get the official comment from the white house, so i was the one who got the this was all about the russian adoption, it had nothing to do with the campaign whatsoever. that was my job in all of this, and so we went through days and days of reporting, and of course we found out it was about the campaign, and it was actually about getting political dirt on hillary clinton, and now we finally hear from the president who says, yeah, it was all about getting political dirt on hillary clinton from the

so flashback, 1973, where john dean, then president richard nixon's white house counsel flipped and helpeding down nixon's presidency. is this the rat trump is tweeting about? >> the one who was in the white house and became somewhat familiar with its inner workings, the watergate matter was an inevitable outgrowth of a climate of excessive concern over the political impact of demonstrators, excessive concern over leaks, and insatiable appetite for political intelligence all coupled with a do-it-yourself white house staff regardless of the law. >> now, just this past sunday, here's john dean calling in and talking to anna cabrera, being called a rat by president of the united states. >> he must be a john dean type rat. >> all caps on that rat, too. >> yeah. no kidding. what's your response? what do you think about that? >> i did respond in tweet that i don't think that trump understands what's going on. we know he's somebody who does not really reveal his full factual problems with his attorneys. they have to sort of find it out the hard way. >> i have with me, cnn presidential historian t

white house? >> reporter: richard, no. here from the white house, but the idea of the shifting goal post that the president and his legal team have been introducing to this debate is notable and it's something that i think when you look at this, they say, collusion is not a crime, and meeting with political opponents is not a crime. they are trying to redo the rules of the debate. it has no impact necessarily on the legal battle although it does give mueller more fuel to the fire when he is looking at trump's tweets. but in the court of public opinion when the president goes out there and maligns the media who are clearly moving this story forward, you had phil rucker on before with the great piece talking about how the president is reacting behind the scenes and then mounting his public reaction to it in a very strong and forceful way traying -- trying to say, look. the media can't be trusted. i was in tampa earlier this week and i asked several people that i talked to there, hey. do you think the media are the enemy of t

, to defend donald trump against the defenders of the constitution. 44 years ago today richard nixon left the white house for the last time because there was no devin nunes in the house of representatives telling all the other republicans we're the only ones who can save their president. it wasn't always this way. if the republicans who served in the house of representatives and in the united states senate when richard nixon was president were still serving today, we would not have to fear that we are living with a congress that refuses to defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. leading off our discussion now, joyce vance, former federal prosecutor, professor at the university of alabama school of law. they are both msnbc contributors. i want to get your reaction to what we heard on those secretly recorded audio recordings at that fundraiser from devin nunes, including this notion that if -- basically if the attorney general does his job, if robert mueller does his job, then we are the only ones who can save this president. >> it's pretty remarkable, lawrence. what i hear

there's no disincentive, richard, coming from this white house against the kremlin to stop doing thisey are going to continue. remember, their goal is chaos first. number one. second, to pick a candidate, in this case, in the midterms and have a certain party perhaps win. number one, chaos, and i am fearful that we are going to be looking at allegations and finger-pointing during the midterms as to why things were not done right, what could have been done better or what states didn't listen or accept funding, and there could potentially be kayio chaos during the mid-term elections if the message is not sent strongly from the white house to moscow that we will not tolerate it and there will be severe consequences if it happens. >> who in the inner circle might be able to say let's fix this to the president and the president might listen? >> mike pence has been hawkish on the russia matter and he publicly made comments that have gone after the kremlin to suggest the kremlin's actions deserve some sort of criticism from the white house. there's certainly a possibility that pence would ca

but from may 13, when richard spencer, who is a white nationalist, held the first torch light rally here at the anatue of robert e. lee, through to august 1d 12, there was real work at trying to counter this coming set of protests, but also to countermaller protests throughout the summer. >> sreenivasan: what are the changes that have taken place? i ean, there's kind of on two levels-- the changes, the preparations fr this specific weekend; and the kind of more systemic, and long-term chang. >> rght. so what we're seeing here this weekend is-- it's quite a tense atmosphere. there are lots and lots of police, as there were last year, but mowt of the dontown mall, most of the university is shut down. so there's a real sense that everything needs to be stopped beforehand. there's actually been a lot of legal work done to ensure that this year doesn't look liklast year. so part of that is that white nationalist groups have entered into an agreement we city not to come back in groups of two or more with weapons. so that has made theciy a little safer, in a sense, this year. ere's also been co

dean is the former white house counsel for richard nixon who famously flipped on the president during the watergate investigation. today, dean tweeting, "mcgahn is doing right." but the president's legal team seems to have been unaware of just how much mcgahn's been talking, and the president hasn't decided whether to sit down with mueller himself. giuliani saying they're worried about walking into a perjury trap, raising eyebrows with this comment. >> and when you tell me that, you know, he should testify because he's goind he shouldn't well, that's so silly because it's somebody's version of the truth. not the truth. he didn't have a conversation -- >> truth is truth. i don't mean to go like -- >> no, it isn't truth. truth isn't truth. >> kyra with us live. president trump weighing in on the mueller investigation in a new interview, saying he has decided to become involved in the investigation, not to interfere? >> reporter: that's right. when asked about the investigation, the president went as far as to say, i could run it if i want. as for sitting down with mueller and answering

you you mentioned richard nixon famous for the silent majority, code word for white working class voters. >> absolutely. >> archie bunker, all in the family, very popular in pop culture in the 70s. how was all of this playing ute in terms of this key voting >> block? >> so i actually say it's one point if my book, archie bunker would have felt right at home in frank rizzo's philadelphia. nixon saw rizzo as part of his urban strategy. nixon was a strategist, always looking to -- and as white voters allegiance was really up for grabs after the 1960. he saw rizzo as a way of getting this -- this constituency that had four decades voted dem and he and he saw people like rizzo as -- so he and rizzo and nixon were -- became allies. rizzo made a -- a spectacle of himself in a lot of ways campaigning for rizzo. he very famously he held a press conference with a rubber chicken with a mcgovern sticker on it to mock him. so as much as nixon had his so-called southern strategy, he also had this urban strategy to do this with these, you know, blue-collar whites that really hasn't been looked at as mu

this movie will make you a very dangerous american right in movie and invisibles what of white supremacy richard spencer we released a short clip of this in media already. i say director spencer, you believe all men are created equal? no. do you believe an individual right? no. do you believe our rights come from god? >> no. where do our rights come from? they come from the state. you begin to realize this is a guy who believes in the large centralized state. so of course he is, of course that the stick of fascism here because the fascists believe in all-powerful centralized state. i asked him what you think of reagan? not a great president. who is your favorite president? give us a bunch of democrats. andrew jackson, polk. they are democrats. parties, , would you party labos matter? andrew jack is a founder of the democratic party. q you have this eye-opening narrative unfolding before your eyes. notice the media staying away from the spirit why? it destroys their charlottesville narrative. it exposes him as frauds. it shows that fake news is built on fake history. fake scholarship. that's wher

this is the one area of the white house you would expect them to be on top of. i think richardainter is right as well, it's a difficult white house to hire for. there was a telling quote, by the way, "the washington post" last night where the president according to one source was talking about how, you know, jared kushner has a good lawyer, why can't i have that lawyer? don mcgahn has a good lawyer, why can't i have that lawyer? well, you should be able to get those lawyers if you want to. you're the president, but he's proven to be a difficult client. >> jackie, i think that does speak to an earlier issue in the white house. wow, what an opportunity to work in the white house, but now it'd be unusual when you said you got a new job at nbc or l.a. times if someone asked you do you also have a good liar. this is becoming a problem that's sort of bigger than the white house counsel office. >> it absolutely is. and people should not underestimate how expensive it is for aides who are 20 something, 30 something, early 40s who have small children if they incur legal bills those coul
