nick ackerman joins us. and mimi rocha. mimi, let me start with you. i want to pick up on the different types of surveillance a federal prosecutor can get. what does it take to get the monitoring of e-mail versus the monitoring of phone calls, versus the recording of phone calls. can you walk us through a little bit. >> there is important distinctions here. i will start with what we now believe to be the surveillance at least some of the surveillance that occurred of michael cohen, custom is the pen register. that is one of the least intrusive forms of surveillance. all it does is really records calls coming in to a certain phone and calls going out in realtime. so it is like a real time toll analysis. prosecutors can get historical toll analysis from a phone company but if they want to get things happening as they happen they have to get a pen register. it requires an application to a magistrate judge. it is not a probable cause threshold, though. it's something lower than that that's hard to articulate. because you are not getting content it is a lit

i turn now to former watergate special prosecutor, nick ackerman as well as heather mcghee, president of the public policy drgroup demos. and john flanery who served adds special counsel in three different investigations. john, i put the question to you, how unusual is this, and does it track with concerns about how nixon comported himself towards the justice department? >> it makes nixon look like a minor player as compared to what these guys are prepared to do. you have them -- basically the gang of eight or nunes, the compromised individual who pretendied to run an independen investigation who seemed to be just a delivery boy for the white house. but we have rules against disclosing these things in an investigation. there's an exception number seven in the rules that should have prevented this. they should have never complied. they should have gone to court about it. it also strikes me that it's a pretty clear indication of corruption when they have allied themselves with the white house in this way to get evidence that nobody else as you suggested in your opening could get in any

joined by "the wall street journal" shelby holiday who has been all over the story and nick ackerm ackermanelby, what do you think? >> one thing as journalist we try to do is take piece of evidence and see what it means but it's very clear as you report on this story there's likely a lot more evidence we haven't seen. for example, these emails. we covered the story about roger stone telling sam nunberg he dined with julian assange. it indicated -- then a few weeks later we reported this story that roger stone was seeking damaging information about hillary clinton through his alleged back channel, so one had seen that. it's very possible that there are a lot more emails. there could be a lot more contact. one thing that's very clear, though. if you look at some of the people subpoenaed surrounding roger stone and questioned including ted malloch, the questioning revolves around and seems centered on this line of questioning around wikileaks, which could be at the center of any sort of conspiracy if there was one, because roger stone seems to predict and know a lot about what wikileaks would
