asha nailed it.et me ask one question and this is what comey highlights in the book in that clip. in 15 months in office, has the president of the united states ever chaired a national security council meeting about what i'd put in at least one of the top three threats facing america, which is not only russia, but russia threats in the election. has he hosted one meeting? that's one of the critical takeaways from the book. but look that's who james comey is. he got out in the summer after an election and talked about his personal views of hillary clinton. why is that relevant? the investigation is relevant and he's the chief law enforcement officer for the united states, but his personal views on her behavior isn't relevant. that's who he is and i think that's what we're going to see when he rolls the book out this week. >> one last thing about that because so many people do associate james comey with hillary clinton's frankly demise. because when he went back and said that there might be this new ca

england asha's —— england's asha philip was fourth. she won ahead of jamaica's christiana williams.m ely failed to make the start line because of injury. jamaican‘s yohan blake made a poor start and took bronze behind akani simbine e. this time tomorrow, we will know which british side is a need chen —— is in the semifinals of the chaplaincy. what will the next act in this pair's rivalry serve up? jurgen klopp doesn't want to call his liverpool side favourites, despite heading to the etihad with a 3 goal advantage for their champions league quarter final second leg. pep guardiola is still hopeful that his side can do something very special. here is our sports correspondent from the etihad stadium. only this time last week it seems nothing could go wrong for manchester city, but they know that they will need some comeback if they are to keep their champions league hopes alive here tomorrow night. after that dramatic defeat at anfield. they followed that up of course by throwing away a 2—0 lead against manchester united here at the weekend, for the first irony this season that their a

>> i'm agreeing with asha for sure. the whole criminal justice system works best when each side is well represented. i think it behooves the president so take a step back, find a competent team so they can address the issues that are raised in a prudent, lawful and sober way, and i think we'll all be advantaged by that. there is no good in having a president without representation adequate to those who are looking into allegations of wrongdoing. i just hope he steps back, finds good counsel, lets them build a team for him, let them meet with mueller and make a forward path so he can get this resolved and behind us, whatever that is. >> hey, laura, two things if you can answer quickly. what kind of charges might stem from this? >> from michael cohen, you're looking at possibly bank fraud or tax-related issues, perhaps campaign finance issues. the president doesn't seem to have an exact link to this yet so i can't state what charges will be brought against him or anyone else. >> you talked about these kinds of cases, atto

asha, what does that sig nal to you, that mupart of mueller's investigation is on these uber wealthy russians? >> he is looking at campaign finance laws. he is using every method at his disposal to investigate that. particularly being able to search these oligarches as they're coming in at the border. the department of security just updated since 2009. they may not have expected that mueller would take advantage that have, but he is. as reporting just mentioned, he is going to potentially be able to uncover americans who might have legally funnel this had money into the -- poured money into the campaign, including organizations or russians themselves. we know from his previous indictment on the social media front that he is also going after russian nationals and entities in his investigation. those are the big takeaways here. >> david, it obviously is illegal for foreign nationals to be campaign donors. right? >> right. >> so then there would have had to have been this -- it seems like a very real possibility of straw donors. how would that have worked to conceal the money? >> there

then asha stanford holi 2018 is taking place april 7 and 8 at sand hill fields at stanford from 11 am3 pm. asha for education, which also puts on the california college of arts holi, is a volunteer nonprofit helping to start change in india through the education of underprivileged children. so, a fun festival for a good cause. then the exhibition "divine bodies" is on now through july 29 at the asian art museum in san francisco, bringing historical paintings and sculptures from mainly hindu and buddhist traditions. with contemporary photo-based work, "divine bodies" invites you to ponder the power of transformation and the relationship of the body to the cosmos. now, something you don't have to wait for, the bhangra-style dance performance live is up next. we have one to two fires a day and when you respond together and you put your lives on the line, you do have to surround yourself with experts. and for us the expert in gas and electric is pg&e. we run about 2,500/2,800 fire calls a year and on almost every one of those calls pg&e is responding to that call as well. and so when we s

england's asha phillp was going in this one. she's there in lane 6. only finish fourth with trinidad and tobago's michelle lee ahye winning gold. she won in 11.14 seconds ahead of jamaica's christania williams and gayon evans. in the men's race, the gap in the line up was because england's adam gemili had to pull out due to an injury. so it was all eyes on favourite yohan blake in the yellow vest forjamaica. but, he struggled after a bad start. south africa's akani simbine ran clear to claim gold. ahead of compatriot henricho bruinchees, blake came through for bronze. so a big shock there for yohan blake, stepping out of the shadow from usain bolt. bolt actually tweeted his support afterwards, saying well done. "keep putting in the work. you know your journey". shortly after both those finals, i spoke to former british sprinter darren campbell — twice a gold medallist at the commonwealth games, and we began with the disappointment of a fourth place finish for asha phillip. she will be heartbroken. after focusing on the world indoors, that happened in

let's bring in cnn political analyst john avlon and cnn asha. i think the big headline is it wasn't just one time they were thinking about getting rid of mueller, which makes sense. if you want to get rid of him once. it's only gotten worse. but the idea from sarah sanders, she was is incorrect. they believe the president can remove mueller directly. this guideline supposed to be done by the guideline, it doesn't supersede his authority. your take? >> so as you said, chris, this keeps getting worse. which means if he had wanted to do this firing, he should have dup it a year ago. it gets more and more self interested as we go on. what you're talking about is a theory called the unitary executive, the president has all the power to do whatever he wants in the executive branch and you're saying he could do it directly without following the rules that his own branch has for him. you know, at that point i think what you will get is a constitutional crisis/no man's land. because the provision he would technically be violating if he wanted to get into

asha rangappa, asha, thank you very much. >> thank you. >>> talk now with democratic congressman ted lou about this. he joins us from capitol hill. i know you're a lawyer, you have a long legal history. i also don't expect you're much of a fox news viewer. yet i have seen you commenting quite actively about sean hannity here. do you have legal questions for sean hannity about what was revealed yesterday? >> thank you for your question. let me first say congratulations on completing the boston marathon and raising money for the boys and girls club. you looked great. in terms of sean hannity, what struck me was that he failed to disclose that he had a special relationship with michael cohen, he always says friend. he got free legal advice from michael cohen and viewers have a right to know was sean hannity upset about the raids of michael cohen's office because he thought there was a legal issue or was he upset because michael cohen was his friend. when sean hannity hides that fact from his viewers and doesn't let fox news know about it, that's a breach of journalistic ethics. >> i app

. >>> joining me now, former fbi special agent asha rangappa and robby mook. we' also with us alice stewart. there is maybe some more substance in what he has to say specifically about how the president elect's team, the incoming white house was responding to the details and the facts behind russian meddling in the election. listen. >> president trump's first question was to confirm that it had no impact on the election. and then the conversation, to my surprise, moved into a pr conversation about how the trump team would position this and what they could say about this. they actually started talking about drafting a press release with us still sitting there, and the reason that was so striking to me is that that is just not done, that the intelligence community does intelligence, the white house does pr, and spin. >> you also said you were struck by what they didn't ask. >> very much. no one to my recollection asked so what -- what is coming next from the russians? how might we stop it? what does the future look like? it was all what can we say about what we

it was fourth place again mill for asha philip in the women's 100 place again mill for asha philip inm in glasgow four years ago. the first woman from trinidad and tobago became commonwealth champion. wales have bettered their tally of gold medals from four years ago. they won in medal in the 400 metres butterfly. a full update in the next 15 minutes. the home secretary amber rudd has said she'll do "whatever it takes" to make the streets safer, at the launch of a government strategy to tackle violent crime. a leaked home office document suggests a fall in police numbers is likely to have contributed to a rise in serious crime. but amber rudd denies there's a link, and says she hasn't seen the document. here's our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford. in the last week alone, three teenagers were murdered in london. it started with tanesha melbourne—blake, who was killed in a drive—by shooting. that same night, amaan shakoor was shot dead, and two days later, israel ogunsola was stabbed to death. their deaths adding to a sharp increase in killings of young people in london and ot

joining me now, cnn political director david chalian and asha rangappa, cnn legal analyst. they are now in an all-out war, a war between the president of the united states and the former head of the fbi. i want to make sure that is not lost in all of this detail. >> it is a good point. it is a good point, we shouldn't lose just the enormity of what is going on here. think i sometim i think sometimes we get accustomed to it. who is going to win the credibility war, obviously donald trump is in a credibility crisis with the chunk of the country. not the folks that are still with him, no doubt. and jim comey is certainly positioning himself to try to be the authority voice here. but now you see the entire effort from the rnc and trump white house to try to knock down jim comey's credibility in an attempt to get the president on a more equal footing with him. jim comey clearly, watching the interview and the clips we saw with george stephanopoulos and looking at the book excerpts, sees it, it cemd sees it, it cem s sees it, it cemeems, his role t define donald trump in these te

asha, i want to clean up one thing on the michael cohen thing. it's interesting here because the two things he did there are at odds. he said michael cohen represented me on stormy daniels, which he hasn't said directly before and also said, he's mostly just a business man. by admitting that michael cohen represented him on stormy daniels, does that then mean that there communications on that matter, if they were any, that those would be protected by attorney/client privilege? >> not necessarily. if michael cohen was representing him on the stormy daniels' matter, yes, presumptivelily there would be privilege over those communications, however it really depends on how those communications took place, if he waived his privilege, for example, by sharing any of those communications with a third party, they could still be seized by the government and, if any, of those communications concern an ongoing facilitation or concealment of criminal activity or anything that could be criminal activity, then there would be an exception to the privilege. it doe

. >> asha, this statement from the president this morning, attorney-client privilege is dead. explain to us the facts here about attorney-client privilege. >> right, john. attorney-client privilege is not dead, it is just that sometimes it doesn't apply in particular circumstances. so, first, the attorney-client privilege is between the attorney and the client. when the attorney is representing you on a matter. and if you wave it, for example, if you disclose the contents to a third party, if there are e-mails where you cc'd someone, you now waved the privilege in that regard. there is also something called a crime fraud exception, which means that you can't use your attorney to facilitate or cover up the commission of a crime. so, you know, for example, you can tell your attorney that you killed somebody and that confession is going to be covered by the scope of the privilege. but your attorney can't help you figure out how to dispose of the body in a way you're not going to get caught. that becomes a new crime and that is going to be subject to a crime fraud exception that w

asha, if the president does fire rosenstein, what effect would that have the mueller investigation? >> that does have more repercussions on the investigation than firing mueller himself. because as we've seen from the raid, mueller is required right now to get the approval of the deputy attorney general to take significant steps in his investigation. like executing a search warrant. so what you could start -- what could start happening if trump gets a lackey in there, that person could be behind the scenes essentially not approving things, slow rolling it, not approving funding, things like that that would allow that to be shielded because it looks like mueller is still able to do his investigation. >> but the solicitor general would take the place of rod rosenstein right now temporarily, correct? >> i think -- based on the way that this investigation has gone, and the fact that judges have approved things, there are clearly evidence of criminal violations that any lawyer who is following the professional duty will have an obligation to continue. so but i think we have -- looking at

jeffrey took skpeupb cnn legal and national security analyst asha. >> it has ex poerb exposure.n der, wits said i'm very concerned. why? >> because when it came to sensitive matters, including dealing with women and most notably michael cohen was the person who did it. he has access to all of donald trump's most coveted and complicated secrets. and presumably the information about those secrets were in his phone, his files, his e-mails. that's why they are so worried about it. >> you know, one of the things that he talked about also is in terms oe president putting out the pardon that he, you know, sort of sell gratelegraph of pardoning people. can the president pardon that person only federal? >> so the southern district of new york is the attorney's office for that district. these are still federal crimes. >> whatever happens down the road, michael cohen can be pardoned. >> he can be pardoned for any crimes that office charges him with. he cannot be pardoned in the new york attorney general. one thing about this case is it is originating out of that office means it is untether
