it's been a busy news day and even busier news night, including that new reporting from ackerman at "the daily beast" about the trump administration's behavior toward russia that could be construed as potentially trying to pay russia back for their help with the election. but on that subject is where we got the really big news today courtesy of california senator diane feinstein. last night we reported on the possibility some democrats in the senate were considering extreme measures to try to get released into the public record an important transcript from the russia investigation. greg sergeant reported that democratic senators were considering gambits like maybe trying to read this contested transcript into the congressional record to force its public release even though republicans wanted to keep it under wraps. well, this morning, literally as she attended that all-for-show immigration meeting with president trump, senator diane feinstein did an end runaround that possibility but just cutting to the chase and deciding to release the whole darn thing herself. nobody has to do a stu

thanks to joel ruben and nick ackerman, as well. i want to go back to capitol hill. garrett was there, trying to hammer a shutdown deal in the offices of susan collins. we heard from her, lisa murkowski, heidi heitkamp, lindsey graham. they were being coy, failed to give detail on a proposal hammered out, but there is seemingly some agreement there of having a commitment to include immigration. what's the latest? >> some of the democrats went straightrom here tohuck scmer's office to continue the conversation with him. let me put together and try to give you what i think are the outlines here. first, this is the most optimism i've heard from senators of either party since before the shutdown started, that maybe, just maybe, they have something they can work with here. based on lindsey graham's comments, doesn't sound like they are talking about some new piece of legislation. what it sounds like is under discussion here is the idea that this bipartisan group could support voting for this piece of legislation that's on the floor, set for 1:00 vote, this three-week c.r.

now tonight, spencer ackerman reports in the early days of the trump administration, one of mike flynn's hires quote proposed withdrawing some military forces from eastern europe as an overture to president clinton seeking to reposition military forces to please putin. something that smelled to a colleague like a return. officials offered the proposal was kevin harrington, his title is senior official for strateik that -- strategy planning. he did have one influential credential. he was a managing director for the teal macro hedge fund and thus close to trump patron and ally peter teal. according to spencer ackerman's reporting, this guy in the early days of the trump administration proposed taking all u.s. troops out of the baltic states as a gesture to the kremlin. he reportedly made this proposal in february by march, he was proposing that the u.s. should drop all sanctions on the russia oil industry. sure, why not? kevin harrington again is someone with no known national security credentials. he was memorably described as believing only russia can save the united states in the inevit

i'm joined by nick ackerman, former adviser to hillary clinton.k, there are some who see you as skeptical of the white house position on these issues, but i think it is fair to say lawfully that there can be legitimate claims to executive privilege, especially before the congress as opposed to mueller. do you see anything wrong with how this is going down? >> i see a couple things, first of all executive privilege does not apply to donald trump until january 21st 2017 when he was sworn in as president. there's no such thing as president-elect privilege, it's like saying there's attorney-client privilege, when somebody's in law school and they're not an attorney. it just doesn't make sense, there's lots of material to question steve bannon on prior to january 20th. that's the time period for example when michael flynn spoke to the russian ambassador and lied to the fbi by sanctions. so, yeah, i'm extremely skeptical here, to me it all looks like a cover-up. >> and my, you know, part of this that's important is that politics, people think of devin n

i turn to nick ackerman and former u.s. attorney barbara mcquaid, two people who have given a lot of thought to -- the as well as this possibility. because up until last night, all of this, i think for us was schooled in hypotheticals, some rumors, because there was talk in june, but never a full force multiple publications saying this was a presidential order. so barbara, picking up where professor tribe left off. is it a fair reading of the four corners of this act to say that there is no nonrussia probe reason on the facts to remove mueller, and therefore it looks like interfering with the russia probe. >> it looks like that, i think robert mueller would want to explore all of the facts of this before saying it was a slam dunk case of obstruction of justice, it certainly is additional evidence, i think that bolsters the obstruction of justice charge, but i don't know that you have it alone, that corrupt intent is so important, understanding the motivation, president trump says he was offended that robert mueller intervie

before i go to that, listening to nick ackerman earlier, as a former prosecutor, everything he says is absolutely right. i've been there. i know what that's like. but to your question, there's only one person who was calling for a shutdown of the government, and it was donald trump. he's done it twice. i would hope that his fellow republicans won't follow his demand for a shutdown. it would humiliate our country. it would humiliate the president. and it would cost us billions and billions of dollars. they've had months to put together a deal. democrats were willing to work every step. this deal they're talking about in the house now doesn't address the needs of our military. it also doesn't address our civil society in our country. >> senator, i want to point out, obviously, we're hearing it behind you, the protest is ongoing. a jewish group, members of whom are being arrested one by one, being removed from the building. i was going to show that while we're talking to you. they're protecting daca. the fact is, republicans are saying, let's take one more month to deal with this. in dece

nick ackerman is a former new york prosecutor. great to have you with us.he president claiming as we see there, the absolute right to do what he wants the d.o.j. then singling out huma abedin. what kind of message is he sending? >> that his whole mentality is pre 1776 when we had a king that ruled the 13 colonies. we made a decision back then. i don't think he got the memo. i don't think he read the memo. we made a decision to be governed by a constitution, to be governed bylaws. we got rid of the king. we put in a president with checks and balances. that is not above the law and subject to the law like every other citizen in this country. the problem with what he is doing directly undermines what has been over 250 years of american history, which he doesn't understand. >> i'll sure you've seen the counter argument made by alan dershowitz that the president has the authority as the top law enforcement in the country, he can direct investigation or order the investigation. is that not correct legally speaking? >> legally speaking, he could set a priority. wh

we don't know exactly what is in this memo nunes put together but betsy woodruff and ackerman at the "daily beast" said, it controversial republican memo specifically names fbi direct -- they are likely to face even more criticism from the right over their development in fbi intelligence work. so comey's gone, mccabe is on his way out. he's be retired at the ripe old age of 49.rosenstein? is it his time in the barrel next? what if it's not mueller he's after? >> listening to republican members talk about a coup and talk about criminal activity in the fbi, that will encourage the president to think he can fire mueller with impunity or perhaps even more pernicious from my point of view, fire rod rosenstein, put in place someone who will tell bob mueller private live you c privately you cannot look into these issues, you cannot follow the money. >> congressman adam shift on this program last month saying it would be even more pernicious to fire rod rosenstein than to fire bob mueller? is that true? what would happen if trump did it anyway? joins us now is the man who helped write the ru

joining me to break it down, former prosecutor nick ackerman and maya wiley. i start with you, nick, four big stories, the one that has the most potential malfeasance would appear to be this highly unusual report of a new fbi director threatening to resign? >> i think that's right. again, it shows that trump has no regard for the rule of law, that he thinks he can run the fbi, he thinks there should not be independence between criminal investigations, the department of justice and the president of the united states, which is counter to our entire history of the president dealing with the fbi. trump still thinks that we're living in a pre-1776 world where there is a king and not a president and a constitution and laws that constrain the president from doing precisely what he's trying to do. >> the idea that the fbi director would resign over there, this ranks where in what's happened in the last weeks plus? >> it's right up there at a 10. it's absolutely outrageous, the fbi is not a political party. the fbi investigates crimes for the department of justice. i w

i'm joined now by nick ackerman, partner at dorsey and whitney. and back with me alexi and zeke. i want to get your reaction from what you heard from ty cobb. i thought it was significant. the president's eager to speak with special counsel robert mueller. that runs very counter to what we heard from the president a week ago when he said he doesn't see any need for an interview because there was no collusion. what did you make of it? >> i think at some point they'll have no choice because if the president doesn't agree to submit to a interview under oath with a transcript being taken, the special counsel's office will simply provide him with a subpoena and i think it's pretty clear from u.s. v. nixon where this whole issue of executive privilege and the president's role with respect to a criminal investigation is that the court's will enforce that subpoena. so i don't think the president has any choice here. ultimately he's going to have to testify and answer questions relating to mueller's investigation. >> and just to put a fine point on this, we know that the president's legal

i agree with ackerman on some level that it it is inappropriate as a matter of policy and principal that the president continues to rely on the outdated authorization, but i am a pragmatist with the solution and the challenge is how you work with congress to come up with a formula the congress passes because we have a need. >> that shows similarities between issues that arise in so many zones of controversy and many of you were undergraduates or in graduate school and had heard of the doctrine of separation of powers that is often attributed to james madison and that is not the system we have. our system is one of link powers and there is almost nothing that one branch can do and it has to get a bye in of at least one. when you see that, you get claims of power. i wanted to ask you what you thought the relationship was with the war power to targeted killing comment if we do need a mean the news that practice of lethal drawn strikes amounts to exponential killing? the new practice of lethal>> in war, pen that is a pretty big part of war. so, i begin with a proposition that, from the septe

hi, my name is rachel ackerman and i'm with the harvard extension school. speaking of york hindsight that began at 8:01 p.m., what would you have done differently about campaigning? >> about harvard extension, don't forget they give you four credits per course, if you transferred don't forget you get four. >> i don't plan on transferring. >> in hindsight i think you have to break it down to the larger strategic question of going back 2015, when she decided to run and what that would like like -- would look like and tactical decisions in 2016. and then this third bucket of external factors. in no particular order if there's something i could have done differently i would've waited outside jim commie's car before his infamous press conference and tackled him until someone with some sense could say this is very inappropriate what you're about to do. strategically, i don't know. i think in hindsight there was some very big problems that would have affected any democrat. i'm also going to be -- let me state up front -- i don't think any democrat would have beate
