>> yeah, i couldn't agree more with asha. that's why this presidential bear hug, pun intended, is so disturbing. because the russian threat is ongoing. it's an effort to influence our politics. it's also an evidence to influence u.s. policy overseas. when you see a president stand in brussels and not invoke article five to showcase our all for one and one for all policy vis-a-vis our nato allies that's a russian influence. when the foreign minister of russia and the russian ambassador to the united states are invited into the oval office, that is an outcome of russian influence campaign. the operation is underway at this hour, and it continues. >> asha, i hate to ask a kind of unlimited question. how bad could it get? if this is the damage thus far -- and it depends on who you ask, who feels it most urgently. how bad could it get? what else could happen? >> what can happen is that we basically delegitimatize our institutions. we see that happening already. we have our courts being called, so-called courts. we have our intelli

welcome to you both, asha, i'll begin with you. for people whose thinking hasn't been affected by all of this, the coverage has almost had a corrosive effect of normalizing russia, which is what a whole bunch of people are being accused of doing. what is your view of the damage assessment so far to our country and the stakes starting tomorrow? >> i think that when you have every senior intelligence official saying that this is an unprecedented attack on our democracy, this is when everybody -- and especially the president -- needs to stand up and listen and figure out what we're going to do to stop this. we've already been attacked. this is not something we are preventing from happening. if this were happening in a terrorism context we would be responding immediately. i'm just astounded that we are just continuing as though life is normal. >> so you view this as an ongoing attack. comey said during the hearing they will be back. someone kind of gently corrected him the next day and say they're not leaving. they are going to stay he

a asha, a dean at a law school is here and gloria borger, chief political analyst. thank you for being with me. gloria, let me begin with you. to jeff's point, from what we're hearing from the white house, this is the president wanting to drive this, deal with the legal later. but we're not lawyers to interpret what this means as we take the fight so publicly. >> well, this is donald trump. he has always called himself the spokesperson as the name of -- he's his own spokesperson and the best one and that's why he tweets on his own behalf. he's also quite impulsive about it and i think if there's anything that any lawyer anywhere will always agree on, it's that your client ought to keep his mouth shut. and that is not what is occurring here and we know that it's been a real problem for donald trump, including the travel ban, because lawyers in arguing about the travel ban used his own words against him and that can, of course, happen over and over again and i think it's going to be a real problem for his legal team. >> asha, you have your legal cap on, miss yale law

. >> asha, the defense here seems to be essentially ignorance. as i can tell -- and it's interesting to me the president's personal lawyer's response to these seven pages of written testimony is not to say that is untrue. james comey is not telling the truth. instead it's to say he's vindicatedecause of a very, very narrow portion of that. if they stipulate to the facts and they defend the president by saying, he just didn't realize that any of this was inappropriate or untoward, does that work? >> well, i think what the lawyers are trying to get at is that he didn't have the intent to corruptly influence an ongoing proceeding, which is what would be required under the obstruction of justice statute. and unfortunately for president trump, that's just not going to hold water because even if we were to credit that fully and say, he just didn't know what he was doing when he was approaching comey with these requests, comey's opening statement, which was released today, states that in the very first meeting, he explained to the president the historic

asha, president trump said 100% he would testify. you worked as investigator before.e to believe that would be music to your ears. hearing someone involved in the case one way or the other. 100% i will testify under oath. good for investigation, maybe not good for the person who makes that claim. i was talking to alan dershowitz friday night who told me that president trump would be crazy to testify under oath. >> right. if he testifies under oath, then he is really potentially exposing himself to other crimes. he could, if he testifies truthfully, he will be fine. we have a situation with two die met diametrically opposed events. he could open himself up to perjury. that is the basis that president clinton was impeached in the house. it is a dangerous strategy if he is not absolutely sure and his lawyers in particular are not absolutely sure that everything he will say will be truthful. >> we don't know if his lawyers were apprised of that. james, had james comey not been fired, we would not be talking about this. one irony, had he been allowed to stay on, his conver

asha has come to meet him.e voting, you wouldn't need assistance, you can use your own equipment in your own home. doesn't online voting leave us open to potential hacking, potential security risks? people tend to look at online voting as though you should have 100% security, but that doesn't exist anywhere, online or off—line. we do need online voting to make the democratic process more accessible and inclusive. a radical rethink of the way we vote. some believe it is long overdue. tim muffett, bbc news. a science fiction thriller, which imagines a world where women are more physically powerful than men, has won the baileys women's prize. the power, by naomi alderman, beat five other shortlisted novels. the award is worth £30,000. with me now is naomi alderman, the winner of this year's baileys prize for women's fiction. congratulations, as well as the money, you get to see it here, the award. i've lifted her up and she is very heavy. just tell us first of all, this sounds like a fascinating premise for a nove

asha, nick, david, thanks, guys. a lot to get to, as david said. >>> coming up for us, keeping a campaign promise and issuing a major blow to obama's cuba policy. president trump heading to miami right now, where he is expected to announce major changes to cuba/u.s. relations. we will bring you president trump live when he begins. >>> plus, a powerful and emotional night in our nation's capital. democrats and republicans coming together in a rare show of unity in washington, showing their support for injured colleague steve scalise. an update on his condition, ahead. >>> and we are now in day five of deliberations in the bill cosby trial over sexual assault. is today the day we will get a verdict, or will the jury remain deadlocked? the latest from the high drama in the court, coming up. think again. this is the new new york. we are building new airports all across the state. new roads and bridges. new mass transit. new business friendly environment. new lower taxes. and new university partnerships to grow the busine

and, of course, i'm always honored to know you, michelle, and asha. i'm going to give a little context for my question. from the johnson-warren crime to the nixon-warren drugs to bill clinton's 1994 crime bill, you know, we have seen our own communities be bamboozled into believing that a war on our own people would benefit our community. >> yes. >> how -- question one is how do we prevent that from happening again. and, two, how do we stop attorney general jeff sessions -- >> that's right. >> -- from taking us back 50 years into the dark ages? thank you. >> [inaudible] [applause] >> you want to jump on that? >> i would like, well, i was going to say, i think one of the things that susan can speak to is the critical importance of formerly incarcerated people and people who have been directly impacted as emerging as leaders in this moment in time. because it is easy to demonize the criminals when you don't meet them, when you don't know them, when you don't hear from them and come to learn their stories. and anyone who reads susan's story is going to u

day to maintain wholeness to keep yourselves to together. >> i don't know if i take time every day, asha. i don't know i take time every day, but every year, i go to place and i spend ten days in total silence. i do that every year. but i don't know that it take time every day. >> i should but i don't, and i think that the things i do on the regular tend to involve -- i have a window that i love that looks out on to some trees and i'll sit in front of that window and meditate or pray. i don't do it every day. and i love to run. and'll go on long runs, and it's a way of clearing my head. but i do think that your question is such an important one because we live in a state of constant reactivity, reacting to bad news or the trauma or the noise of life, and if we're going to be effective, we're going to have to learn how to stop reacting and get still and think about really who we are, where we came from, and what we truly want to do now. and that requires to us get still, and prayerful or at least in a space of silence for some time, and i think a practice or trying or aspiring to do that

asha has come to meet him. news. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello. the weather this week is being driven by areas of low pressure, and there is not one but two on the chart behind me. this is what we are seeing today, a spell of rain pushing its way across the country. it has been bringing heavy rain overnight across england and wales, now coming across north—west england into northern ireland, with fairly sharp showers following along behind, but some of us could stay largely drive. if you catch a shower, it will be on the sharp side, but will blow through quickly on the wind. there could well be some showers here and there across wales through the afternoon, fairly frequent across northern ireland which could see some local flooding. temperatures not reaching the far north until the end of the day. our rain across scotland still with us overnight, but it pulls away from everywhere else. there will be a few showers behind, but a lot of dry weather, showers getting a little more

charles: gregg jarrett is back. 367 asha, let me start with you it's extraordinary stuff for james comeysay, i took his document,. and deliberately gave it to a friend at the columbia university so he could give it to the "new york times." >> calling it a leak doesn't make it see. i understand this is a political strategy. but from a legal strategy these were unclassified, not privileged, and essentially personal recollections that once he left the bureau, once he was fired, he could give that to anybody he wanted. he could write a book if he wanted. there was nothing illegal about what he did. it may not be something that was great for the president politically speaking, but it's not illegal. charles: ron, you were the assistant director at the f.b.i. i think a couple of things here. the notion that comey would leave these meetings with president trump and immediately take notes. and the same f.b.i. officials who interviewed hillary clinton over an seem scandal everyone knew was din -- was dynamite, by did not take notes. >> i don't think there is an equivalency between what happened wi

. >> i want to come back to you, asha. the thing is, so much of this could be cleared up if there are tapes, an actual record -- lordy. >> more on the tapes. continuing live coverage from washington, d.c., on a very billing day. we'll be right back. lordy. i guess i was born with a crayon in my hand. i decided to see if there was a way for design to play a... ...positive role in what was going on in the world. there's a jacket that's reflective for visibility... ...a sleeping bag jacket, jackets that turn into tents. i usually do my fashion sketches on the computer. i love drawing on the screen. there's no lag time at all. it feels just like my markers. with fashion, you can dress people and help people. it's really cool to see your work come to life. at crowne plaza we know business travel isn't just business. there's this. 'a bit of this. why not? your hotel should make it easy to do all the things you do. which is what we do. crowne plaza. we're all business, mostly. >>> i was so stunned by the conversation that i just

asha deliverance, the mother of 23-year-old taliesin myrddin namkai meche, wrote in an open letter to trump -- "you have said that you will be president for all americans. so, i ask you mr. president to take action at this time. please condemn any acts of violence, which result directly from hate speech & hate groups." the letter came after the suspect in the killings, jeremy christian, made a defiant statement at his arraignment tuesday y shouting, "death to te , enemies of america" and "you call it terrorism, i call it patriotism!" in washington, d.c., part of the smithsonian's national museum of african-american history and culture for several hours after a noose was discovered in wednesday an exhibition on segregation. it was the second such incident in a week. last friday, a security guard found a noose hanging from a tree outside the museum. in los angeles, police say someone spray-painted the "n" word on a gate outside the home of nba superstar lebron james wednesday. the hate crime came just one day before james and his cleveland cavaliers are set to take on the golden state w

i want to welcome asha, former fbi agent and cnn analyst. did comey behave appropriately in not raising concerns about what he thought was directed from the president early on? >> but there's no playbook for this. this has been completely unusual at every stage. i think we have to look at how he responded based on that. when he got to a point where he was asking these very problematic conversations which he documented simply because they are unprecedented for him, you know, he's faced with a situation where to go to the department of justice he's now looking also at somebody who could potentially be implicated in some of the things that are being investigated because of sessions' ceremony. >> jim acosta is standing by for us at the white house. >> reporter: we do have a statement that came into our white house team a few moments ago, anderson, and it does sort of lay out some of the reason why i guess marc kasowitz was sounding so confident last night. he was basically saying that the president has won in all of this in response to comey's w

asi asha, your thoughts. >> well, sarah sanders during that press conference said she felt like she was in the twilight zone and i pretty much agree with that. the fact that we're spending time having to dissect tweets that are insulting news anchor is -- when there's so much else going on, i think, says to you everything about what's -- what this administration is doing. and i'll just point out here that this might be a nice time for the first lady to come out on her cyber bullying platform. on november 3, before the election, she gave a very eloquent speech talking about cyber bullying and specifically that cyber bullying or bullying of any kind shouldn't be used to insult people's intelligence or their looks. so, here's a case study. and i think that it would be wonderful for her to step up to the plate and maybe send that signal out in this climate. >> we were live on tv and i remember we took that speech and i remember coming out of it and a bunch of folks said, that's a really great idea, but do you know who your husband is. i see you shaking your head. >> i was struck by, in addi

. >> asha, we're in the weeds of this and everyone is reading, reading, reading. but take a step back. how big do you think this is? >> well, listen, as the director of the fbi, i don't think that he would have normally been in a position to come back and document conversations with other senior executive branch officials and put them in a file. that's what rank and file investigative case agents do. so again, i think that this just, you know, attests to how much of a concern this is. i suspect that senior leadership team included the general counsel of the fbi who advised him to document this. and, you know, i think his statements will carry a lot of weight because the things that he's quoting in here are probably taken verbatim from those memos and those are contemporaneous memos in which -- >> and listening to you, we're reading it and there's been reporting on the memos of the meetings but to sit there tomorrow, mark preston, and for the world to listen to this first-person perspective, to hear the words from james comey himself, how strong of a case will that
