carl bernstein, what do you make of this? again, this is just breaking as we've been talking. >> once again, the key to all of these investigations is follow the money and follow the lies and particularly when it comes to michael cohen and his relationship to the president of the united states, it's clear by now from what we know that cohen is absolutely essential to what the mueller investigation is doing as well as the southern district investigation in new york, that his use of funds on behalf of donald trump is going to be a big part of an ongoing story. and there's something else of great significance and that is the role of the "wall street journal" here. we keep hearing about fake news from the president of the united states throughout this investigation. in fact, the "wall street journal" with the "washington post," "the new york times," cnn, but the "wall street journal" which is owned by trump's friend rupert murdoch has done great reporting, not fake news, throughout this year and i think we need to take a look at

joining us to talk about it cnn political analyst carl bernstein. the third point in guiliani's statement was about the president's firing of james comey. guiliani wrote that the dismissal of director comey was clearly within the president's article 2 power. while that's certainly true earlier this week guiliani said that comey was fired because he wouldn't publicly acknowledge that the president wasn't under investigation. i'm wondering what you make of the evolving explanation here. >> i think that what we're seeing all together is lying, covering up, cover stories and contempt for the rule of law again by the president of the united states, now by rudy guiliani, by mr. cohen, and it's indicative of this president and this presidency's approach to everything having to do with the mueller investigation and the consequential stormy daniels investigation coming from the mueller investigation as it were. and we are looking at lie after lie after lie and cover story after cover story after cover story invented by the president, invented by guiliani, in

. >> with me now journalist, author, cnn political author carl bernstein. nice to see you again. >> good fob wito be with you. >> the president's use of the word spy, the correct word is confidential source. >> heme menant it to be nefario to intervene into a legitimate information into his conduct, the conduct of his family, the conduct of his campaign related to what happened in the presidential campaign and whether the russians intervened with aid from his campaign. this is a legitimate investigation that at every turn he tries to undermine and demean and this is part of the coverup what we are watching, a coverup by the president of the united states. >> isn't that what so much of this is about is undermining mueller? >> of course. >> we don't know how the -- what the end of the movie is, right, but whatever the findings, this would undermine it. >> that's what he saw the to do go from beginning, on the press, to make the conduct of everybody else involved except himself, his aides and his family the issue here. take a look at what chris christie said t

you can close it out. >> i think it's -- the carl bernstein business. by the way, as a historical note, there were some pretty high level people knew about watergate and knew about the break-in. look, when carl bernstein -- my problem with the bernsteins of the world as they failed to recognize that this is serious and it's clearly improper, what happened during the campaign. we haven't even talked about the omissions in the fisa warrant tonight. on the other hand, you know me, laura. i've been on the show, i've defended bob muller, i defended rosenstein. i think bob mueller should be allowed to take as long as he needs to finish up his case. but the problem with the other side is it's all black or white for them. there can't be anything wrong with what the obama people did and it's very clearly anybody who knows the criminal law system and the intelligence system knows that this was highly improper. when you open up a logan act case, sadly it's, this is my obsession. when you open up a logan act case on somebody who's on the transition team, that's lik

joining me on the phone now is carl bernstein. fascinating to see these.came from the white house side. what do you make of what you read? >> i think that what we see here is that there's a clash coming in all likelihood. it could have been predicted that there would be a clash. the real question is what answers does donald trump have to those questions? if he has satisfactory answers, he should have nothing to worry about. but those are very loaded questions in terms of collusion. they suggest where mueller is going. they suggest that mueller has talked to other witnesses and that he knows the direction that he wants to get answers from the president on that have to do both with, quote, collusion or a spiresy to cooperate with agents of a foreign party, and if the president has satisfactory answers he should have nothing to worry about. but the real question is what does mueller and his team know and obviously this is something that's going to deeply worry the president's lawyers because the president's lawyers might not know all the answers that donald t

cnn political analyst, carl bernstein and julie hirschfield davis, also white house correspondent for the "new york times." with us as well, former fbi supervisory special agent, josh campbell. carl, you heard director clapper saying the ap now reporting that the president is intentionally using the term "spy" to kind of create this nefarious narrative of what he claims is going on. it sounds basically just like a classic misinformation campaign. do you think the president is -- i mean, is this just par for the course? is this just the normal stuff? or is this an escalation? >> oh, it's a continuation that the president has used the term spygate, to obviously invoke the ghosts of watergate here. and what he is doing is creating a fictional narrative to escape the rule of law and legitimate investigation himself, a legitimate investigation that has been authorized by his own justice department, that his former campaign associate, christie, yesterday, praised mueller, the director of that investigation, special counsel, and he's using this as a means of covering up whatever is at the bo

carl bernstein is here, max boot. good evening to both of you.hat you're saying and what you wrote today, carl i'm going to start with you. the president tweeted six weeks ago, perhaps barack obama's biggest short coming as president is he failed to unite the country. you say this is a cold civil war in america. explain to me why you think this country is more divided under trump. >> well first of all, trump has not started the cold civil war that we're in but brought it to the point of ignition. where people on both sides of this cold civil war are dug in and there is scorched earth, particularly as max has pointed out in his column, disproportionately on the president's side they are dug in. what unites all the news we're hearing and that you're talking about, is really this president is the president of his base, he's not the president of all the people of the united states. he does not aspire to appeal to the people of the united states as a whole. he intends to govern for the cult and the base that are his most avid followers. that's somethi

with me to discuss all of this, cnn political analyst and veteran journalist, carl bernste bernstein.ion of what the sides are saying. what do you think? >> that's quite a list. i think we need to look at cohen and his connections to russians, particularly the russian named in this latest round to whom his slush fund, his secret account, that is to say, cohen's received hundreds of thousands of dollars from someone connected probably to vladimir putin. tha that's the thing we ought to be looking at more than anything. because this whole idea that the president of the united states and others, his republican supporters, keep saying no collusion, no collusion, no collusion. in fact, one reason that there is an open case about collusion, from what we know from investigators, from others, is because of these constant contacts with russians among those around the president, including his fixer and his lawyer, michael cohen. and what the prosecutors in new york may have as a result of the raids that you just pointed out on cohen and his i-devices and his computer. >> he had a connection wit

carl bernstein had a seminal article in the rolling stone magazine one hundred seventy seven years at watergate muckraker that if we cover the senate u.s. senate church committee and their findings on u.s. intelligence in the cia he found that well over four hundred members of the media lived our lives and i work for the cia and these were not just regular journalists but the owners of of all the major media less than the owners of c.b.s. a.b.c. n.b.c. etc time incorporated different ways they did it was basically owning you know getting ownership over most of the media i've been a journalist for about twenty five years and i was educated to lie to betray and not to tell the truth to the public now you asked what have i done for intelligence agencies so please see most of the journalists you see in foreign countries they claim to be journalists and they might be journalists but many of them like me in the past are so-called non official cover means you to work for an intelligence agency you help them if they want you to help them but when they find out that you're not only a journalis

. >>> carl bernstein is here with me now, 1/2 of the famed woodward and bernstein duo, what do you seeweek, carl? >> with my conversations with people at the white house, with lawyers, with some of the defendants who have come before mueller and people on capitol hill, i think we can look at a big picture now with some real definition, in which the perilous moment for our country right now, and it's a question of whether lies, authoritari authoritarianism and the character of the president of the united states are going to take us to an authoritarian place where we have never been in which he will bury a duly constituted and legal investigation that will determine whether or not the president is above the rule of law. and what we are seeing, and what donald trump understands and the reason he wants to bury, demean, undermine and put this investigation out of business for all time is, he knows that mueller has the ability and the facts to reveal him, donald trump in a really terrible light, whether it's criminal behavior or not. mueller has enough to show donald trump and his lies in a
