brother obama being elected it was a change they made first the first time ever a vote and i mean you know educated no no but it's also what made me feel included and when he won it gave us all hope that that was even possible given for him to be so eloquent in the way he was you know cared to some social for a gave us a great example of a man and it empowered a lot of kids a lot of kids are scholars now social will based on that if in that eight years of broccoli mom more and more and more positive things happen for african-americans in america praise god. now my question is and you can if we if that were true for chicago how did the alignments get worse if that positive stuff was happening at the same time violence always existed not as a good question. i feel that the president is just a person that is in a position that we see this approach that we get to pick on the souls we hope we can point to say he's the problem but there are greater powers in control of things so black folks always lay for five hundred years we so-called free for a little bit over one hundred five hundred ye

he needed an attorney general like jfk had in his brother and like obama had with holder. and that he said, where is the reference to trump's long-time personal lawyer who was the fixer in the '80s. this just gives a sense of how the president sees the job of his top law enforcement official, not as someone who knows all the facts, but someone to protect him. >> i want to get to a couple of the threads in your piece that are important to pull on. but before i do, i want to go to kristen at the white house. nbc news confirmed one aspect of the report, so what is the talk there at the white house and from the president's legal team? >> reporter: well, look, they are pushing back firmly against the broader narrative of collusion, of course, president trump has a tweet. now that collusion with russia is proving to be a total hoax and the only collusion is with hillary clinton and the fbi/russia, the fake news media mainstream and this phony new book are hitting out at every new front imaginable. they should try whipping an election, sad. that has been his talking point for qui

brother. and eric holder for barack obama. mr. trump then asked where is my roy cohn? this man during the 1950 also mccarthy crusade against communism. known has tough courtroom battler. let's start with jessica snyder. tell me more. >> reporter: right. as to that part, brooke, department of justice has denied jeff sessions rwas involved in getting damaged information on james comey. so if that is true this was just a possible rogue aide seeking that information. but the bigger story here is the fact that the white house counsel, don mcgahn tried to dissuade jeff sessionss from stopping away from the probe. tan that is drawing outrage. and of course adding another layer to this obstruction of justice probe by mueller's team. so the times reports it was actually the president who gave those firm orders to don mcgahn to stop the attorney general from recusing himself. and then reportedly, brooke, the president erupt

obama did that. >> there are -- go on. >> i was going to say, a brother did bring the republican party back. know. >> he did help y'all out. he gave you a narrative for something to run against to put the anti obama, that would be donald trump. >> i was talking about me, i wasn't talking about obama. >> you did it, brother. it is interesting, michael, in temples of the ways democrats and republicans thick about what qualifies someone for power. george w. bush was able to ride because he was a bush. i can have a beer with him. you have that type for men. you have bill clinton. nobody knew what he did as governor of arkansas. they just knew he played the sax on the hall. a woman that runs a successful business that's a billionaire and runs an organization far more legitimate but default she's a famous celebrity, she's set aside. >> i would agree much with the professor on that point because the reality of it is this is a new era for women in many respects. we've elected women before. they have been governors of the states in the senate. they have run for president. i don't think americans have

obama. and robert kennedy and his brother. is that a fair comparison? >> i'm not sure, this is an investigation that's ongoing, directly related to the president of the united states. his campaign. his closest associates. and look, in this report it shows that there was a white house lawyer who was very concerned about the president taking steps to fire james comey, if you were to fire james comey, this could lead to a new investigation. and that is problematic. i don't think you would see the same thing in the obama years. even -- you know, evan covered the justice department, i don't know if this is -- >> no, this is the no something you would normally see. the idea that there's nobody else in the white house who could talk to the president and sort of explain to him what a terrible idea this was going to be. i mean, the idea that he was spending time stewing about this investigation. and that nobody could sit him down and explain to him what the proper role of the attorney general is supposed to be, and what -- you know, what you can and cannot do. >

brother jfk. like eric holder to president obama, basically someone who was allied and had an allegiance to him. beyond that some of the other colors, some of the other details, we're learning that reince priebus kept handwritten notes during the course of time he was here serving in the west wing. all of this is significant. and even one other fact, that jeff sessions' aides had apparently sought damaging information on james comey before comey was fired, as if to say they were looking for some reason to better explain the firing beyond the russia probe, which the president in his conversation with lester holt says was certainly on his mind. andrea? >> peter alexander, thanks for braving a very cold lawn of the white house today. >> thanks. >>> security analyst jeremy bash who is chief of staff at the pentagon. and matt miller, former chief spokesman for attorney general eric holder. and eugene robinson, columnist at the "washington post." a wealth of talent here. happy friday, everybody. matt, i want to ask you first about the reaction inside the justice department. do these revelations by mik

him the way he believed robby kennedy as attorney general had done for his brother, and eric holder had done for barack obama he then asked where's my roy cohn. what's wrong with that characterization? >> this is something we've known about trump. the issue is either he doesn't know that the attorney general doesn't exist to protect the president or he doesn't care. all this reminds me a great scene where a slot machine is broken and one of the floor manager -- firing the character saying you are either too stupid to see it or in on it. either way you can't be trusted. either you don't know what the ag does, or you don't care. the either way, that's not exactly presidential behavior i want to see. i want a calvin cool idge. >> calvin and the casino in the same. >> >> come back in a half hour. all right? come back. >>> we're going to talk about a new record high for the dow. more on the record rise and the 0 snowstorm that couldn't slow it down. id bec >>> all right. the so called bomb cyclone causing wide spread damage in new england. frigid water pouring in prompting record high tide. gauge at boston harbor

brother john f. kennedy and eric holder for barack obama. mr. trump asked, where is my roy cohn. can you help us understand this? it seems like he thinks that the justice department should be like his keith schiller like his bodyguard, rather than working for the american people? >> well, i mean let's be clear, the attorney general wiorks for the american people but at the discretion of the president. the president was right to ask don mcgahn to reach out to attorney general sessions to not to recuse himself. at the end of the day this was a judgment call. whether sessions was being asked transparent as possible with the confirmation committee, and, you know, we can make the case that he didn't need to recuse himself and that's what president was doing. that's his prerogative. the president has say over personnel decisions. he can tell them these things. there's nothing illegal or criminal about that. >> but just -- >> the story -- go ahead. >> is it a misunderstanding? does he -- does it concern you that his primary focus seems to be from this reporting who will protect me, why

what i think is different is when i came into the obama administration we are like a family. like i can punch my brother but you better not punch my brother. >> your family. there is already game of thrones in this white house is about personnel and who is up and who is down. >> you people throwing rocks at the white house there aspects of this not normal that's not normal we can see if we get on a more normal track do people want those jobs. >> it's a some dysfunction and some changes of steve chief of staff and george was the spokesman it happens when you have real outsider campaigns coming into the white house were trying to do things with new people and new ways. you tend to see this. certainly an outlier relative to other white houses. i think that is clear. another part is that i don't think they expected to win. they did not do planning before him. we have the shortest transition of any white house because we had the recount. so the day of the recount to inauguration was 32 or 31. a short transition. but personnel was way ahead of where this administration was or maybe any administration. it was

brother and campaign manager. >> woodruff: and he said barack obama had a closing relationship.his view, eric holder did what president obama wanted him to. >> that's a bit of a stretch. the relationships between presidents and attorney generals have generally been fraught because they have a role of being appointed but semirepresenting their agency. so it's a history of fraughtness. trump seems to not understand the history. to me it's a mistake to think because he's covering up there was an underlining crime vis-a-vis rust, that's a unilateral ty in donald trump's mind that doesn't exist. there may be more to do with money laundering, the charges about deutsche banc that have been floating around as well, than the russia story in the past. he said don't look at my tax returns, which is a signal he's worried about, if anything is less russia and more of the financial shenanigans. >> woodruff: while we wait for that, mark, what we do have this week and watt is coming out today, tomorrow and the next few days is this bombshell book by michael wolf, fire and fury, about the trump

training camp in spain and then all this transfer speculation around this guy pm rick obama who brought his dad and two brothers to the training camp the club turned a blind eye to that but then they did suspend him because he missed a team meeting just before the match day the day before and i mean the guy has great goalscoring talents but he's also got a bit of a talent for getting suspended it's his third suspension in just one and a half years from three different coaches so it's not a problem with one coach it's not the fact that there's an issue between two people here it's. it's really his issue and don't need to sort this out because the transfer windows open he could leave the need to get a replacement if he does it's unclear to me if he's just angling for a move in doing it because of that or if he's just ill disciplined and the he keeps getting himself in hot water but with the game it was as we saw i mean don't have so many chances they should have scored even without obama young in the squad they need to sort that out unbeaten in the league as well which is small comfort for them so what if all thi

brother john f. kennedy. and eric holder had done for barack obama. you might remember last week president trump sat down for an inter view with michael schmidt while vacationing in mar-a-lago. he made similar comments about holder and obama. "i will say this, holder protected president obama, totally protected him. when you look at all of the tremendous real problems they had, not made up problems like russian collusion, these were real problems. when you look at the things they did and holder protected the president, and i have great respect for that." "the new york times" also reports tonight that mueller has corroborated fbi director james comey's claims that he felt pressured to drop the russia investigation. and then there's this shocking detail. quote, the president's determination to fire mr. comey, even led one white house lawyer to take the extraordinary step of misleading mr. trump about whether he had the authority to remove him kwts. hour leadoff panel tonight, kimberly atkins, chief white house reporter for the boston herald, and peter b

way that roy cohn would or he thought that rfk protected his brother, mistakenly thought that my former boss eric holder protected president obama. it is trump's own mouth, his own confession in front of roomful of witnesses that may end up sealing his case for obstruction of justice and with respect to the meeting on the plane, lock, trump is right it's not a crime to lie to the press but if the president has obstructed justice and if people around him have entered into a conspiracy to obstruction justice any action that he takes to further the conspiracy is something that will be used in court or in the impeachment context, using it in a 'em peachment proceeding to prove that case and concealing the truth of that meeting in trump tower in 2016 seems to be exactly what they're trying to do and looks like we have very clear evidence and i would expect that mark carollo not in to see bob mueller's team, they will hear from him shortly. >> steve schmidt, your reaction to the needing roy cohn? >> it seems remarkable just a couple of days into the new year when we're looking at the speed of stories unraveling that's happening around

the talent been which emerged to cleanse the land of their errant brothers are backed by pakistan, today still wage war. president obamaclose to 90,000 troops in afghanistan. that he pulled them all out. the war continued, now a new president said he is going to take the gloves out, allow the cia greater latitude with drones, allow the army commanders on the ground to do what needs to be done to clean this up, more air support. the more air support the more villagers you are going to kill, the more villagers you kill you will send every boy, cousin, relative and extended family to the talent and out of revenge so what are 15,000 troops going to do with 90,000 troops couldn't do? a long-winded way of answering your question to say the only way this will be resolved is in islam a bad. by that i mean other nations. there was one negotiation so far. 2014, the new york times you had afghanistan, representatives of the taliban, it is not fear because i heard different stories, we did not have anybody in the room. the chinese were in the room but what is interesting, one table representing afghanistan, whose family i was said

and i'd be interested in tony's perspective, is that when i came into the obama administration, we were like a family. your brother, your sister, like, i can punch my brother but you better not punch my brother because i'll get you. they're literally a family. it's different. but on the staff level, you'd been through so much together on a campaign that typically has gone a year, two years, that you're a family. a lot -- there was already a game of thrones situation happening in this white house from day one. where there were rifle riss, there were leaks, -- rivalries, there were leaks that were not just about information but personnel and who was up and who was down. that's the difference. and i will tell you from the outside, that is so hard to live through. because it is already hard. you have people throwing rocks at the white house no matter what party you are because you're the white house. so there are aspects of this that are not norm. a you look at the number of people who have -- normal. you look at the number of people who have clearly the number of communications directors they've had, i don't know if

brother john f. kennedy and eric holder had done for barack obama. your response? >> thank you for your question. that is a significant story because it shows us how donald trump views the department of justice. he thinks it's there to protect him. that's wrong. the attorney general's job is to enforce the laws, in watergate the central lesson is no one is above the law, not even the president. for donald trump to have this view that somehow the attorney general is his personal protector is a highly disturbing view for the president to have. and also shows consciousness of guilt. if donald trump thought this was just a hoax, there's nothing to this investigation, why is he fighting so hard to try to have jeff significants be in charge of it? >> and the question is, one question is, is there anything improper about don mcgann as white house counsel going in and attempting to lobby the attorney general to stay on the inquiry if he believed that donald trump was trying to obstruct justice? >> it's not clear to me if that by itself would constitute obstruction of justice. it probably is okay to ask t

brother john f. kennedy and eric holder had done for president barack obama. what does this tell you about the president and how he views the role of jeff sessions? >> that's it. one of the more important things to come to light in the story. not necessarily what mueller is looking at, interesting in and of itself, but what it says about the president's view of what the justice department should be. i mean, since the watergate scandal and the nixon era, presidents of both parties accepted and understood that the attorney general, there should be a bright line between criminal investigations and the white house. the idea is, you don't want there to be a perception that the fbi and the justice department prosecute people based on the whims of the president and his politics. by the president coming out and saying, the president telling the attorney general, you're supposed to defend me. supposed to be my protector, i want you to, to shield me from problems. it shows a fundamental difference, a fundamental break with tradition and past practice for this white hous

brother john f. kennedy and eric holder had done for barack obama. mr. trump then asked "where's my roy cohn" a reference to joe mccarthy's pit bull from the red scare era of this country. the "times" also says a different white house lawyer worried if president trump did fire fbi director james comey he might imperil his presidency and therefore, this attorney misled president trump telling him he could only fire comey for cause. this is characterized in the "times" story as the president's lawyers essentially lying to the president to try to protect him from himself. this new report also says that special counsel mueller has been examining a false statement that the president apparently dictated on air force one in july after the "new york times" learned of that trump tower meeting back in 2016. you might recall donald trump jr. claiming that the meeting with a russian lawyer was about the adoption of russian orphans instead of admitting the actual reason for the meeting, to get dirt about hillary clinton. now, in his new book "fire and fury" that hits
