carol donald said that most members of the crew who had refused to surrender were killed. and as far as we know, they had no idea of what his plans were. and later on he actually admitted maxime admitted an oppressed conference in cab that he did do this, that he did transport a plane. and just more on his back story nicky, he was supposed to be a man who committed rash apps according to one of his colleagues knew him for 3 years. he had wanted no participation in the war. he wanted more of the peaceful mission, peaceful type of missions and another one of his colleagues had also said that he was a man that was very weak psychologically. and that this person had no idea how somebody like that to be put in charge of military equipment. now as far as rushes comments on the head of the russian for an intelligence service has said that maxine brought this upon himself when he decided to commit this asks, let's listen in this traitor and criminal became a moral corpse. the very moment he was planning his dirty and terrible crime. now apart from that, the says, the major general

carol leonnig. plus co-host of the msnbc podcast "prosecuting donald trump." itics" and special correspondent for "vanity fair" msnbc political analyst molly jong-fast. carol, a large aspect of this reporting by your colleagues is about trump versus the conservative legal establishment. talk about that, how it fits into the danger that trump poses to the american justice system. >> what i like about this report big my great colleagues at the "washington post" is it focuses in on something over the horizon in a way which is that the federalist society, which saw donald trump and frankly would have seen any republican president who replaced president obama, as a tool essentially, a platform through which the conservative legal movement could make good on a basically 25-year quest to create a majority on the supreme court and to add more conservative-leaning justices -- forgive me, judges to the rest of the federal judiciary. here you see that three really critical people that were part of that juggernaut, what i think of as a very good conceptual scoop, these thr

he's got to do what the law requires. >> to that point, carol, maybe this is another way of rephrasing it, but is there any way donald trump continues to confess -- effectively control and operate this company, or in any other way business as usual? >> no, and that was the judge's intent. here by having barr parchment with a monitor and with the additional acquirement of and independents compliance officer, this is something that corporations like to avoid. because it means that every decision is scrutinized by somebody who doesn't represent the corporation in the sense of wanting to maximize their profits or maximize that money that's flowing to the owners of the corporation, whether it be a public or a private corporation it means -- it means there is no job is to make sure that the company is abiding by laws and regulations. and she is going to report to the court compliance with the rules and regulations of the laws that oversee companies like the trump organization. so this is, to donald trump, basically taking the trump organization out of his hands, out of his son's hands, out of his family's hands, and puttin

donald trump. >> we're pretty much out of time, carol, but i have to ask you, given this bloomberg report, alreadynt $51 million by their estimate on lawyers and he could run out of money by july, and the four criminal cases we all know are coming. is it possible that that amount of money grows by even tens of millions more? is that out of the realm of possibility? >> chris, it is definitely going to grow by tens of million offense dollars more. defending these criminal cases is going to cost millions and millions of dollars. i can't emphasize enough to lisa's point how devastating it is for donald trump and the trump organization to have a corporate monitor in the form of former judge barbara jones inside that organization. the trump organization has always been donald trump's place for financial mischief. it's a privately family-owned company. he could command anything he wanted in there. now you're seeing it stripped away. it's too bad most people are not going to read judge engoron's order or judgment because it lays clear what the financial mischief was here, and he's simply not going to be a

>> obviously, this is a situation where anything involving donald trump, you run the risk of witness intimidation. remember, the jean carol case which was a civil case, not a federal racketeering criminal case, and the judge felt compelled to have an anonymous jury, and that's just something you never see, even in most criminal cases with violent offenders. that's why, it is very, very disturbing that this judge does not appear, at least in the eyes of the special counsel, to be taking into account the possible threats to witnesses, that they could be intimidated, they could be harmed. we've seen donald trump in the past stir of anger and stir up people to do things that they shouldn't do, in an effort to help him. so, i do share the concerns that people are expressing about what the judge is doing here, and i might add that this is not the first unusual or bizarre thing that the judge in florida, judge cannon, has done. she was reversed by the u.s. court of appeals for the 11th circuit in absolutely stunning and brutal fashion twice, once for trying to stop of the justice department investigation with a stay, and another

he feels donald trump can't get a fair trial given political makeup of the panel. carol >> carley: thank you for joining us. 37 million people under flood alert in california as second atmosp atmospheric system barrels through the state. winds up to 50 miles per hour. >> todd: land slides prompting closures across the state. adam klotz has the fox weather forecast. >> adam: californians can't get a break, another round of storms. this is forecast for today, mostly clear and sunny. west coast is seeing all the action, no surprise when you talk about flood watching. 37 million folks, we are looking at rounds and rounds of rain. last 12 or 24 hours have been across portions of southern california. that is where we're seeing the best risk of flash flooding. yellow colors mean flooding is very likely. we've seen these across california in the month of february. it is not an area we can take this much rain and that is why flooding is such an issue. all the water funnels down and we get serious problems. all this moisture across the west, snowfall for the areas. here is what th

we have donald trump running amid 5 indictments and really sort of crippling civil cases, $82 million verdict the other day, e.g. caroln with the state courts, that could be any day, multimillion dollar things. neil: a lot of it has to be put in escrow. charles: it count against you. he is being crippled slowly but surely. then it comes down to the race, when it really comes down to it. i'm hardly amaga. i'm a realist. there's there is not a path. even ken griffin says a path for victory for nikki haley, he's a big contributor, extremely difficult, i would say impossible. he said narrow. the only path to victory outside winning a primary is this guy, trump, being totally crippled and going to jail and stuff like that. the question, does she withstand what's going on behind the scenes. at least haley is complaining about this. immense pressure from the gop, the party itself. to essentially drop out. does she do that? who knows? she's got some bucks, why not? can she take the heat? it's not easy to be told, you deny this guy the election you may never be able to run again. neil: a few kind of delegates, 1200. neil: poin

carol, are there legitimate arguments to be made to dismiss this case? >> well, a lot of the arguments that donaldd they're going to file today are arguments that are rehashed that we've already seen in jack smith's other litigation. for example, presidential immunity now pending before the supreme court. so some of these arguments have already been made, some are going to be decided in short order so we're going to have to see exactly what they filed but one of the things they're going to file is a challenge even to the appointment of jack smith. they're going to say that the special counsel can't be appointed by just the attorney general. there has to be some sort of congressional approval. some of these issues have not made their way up to the supreme court, so again, this is a delay tactic that they are hoping to accomplish to put this trial off until after the november election, if at all. >> i was going to ask you if they were following the delay, delay, delay trump playbook, and you've just said that. so to you, paul, besides just paying for lawyers and things like that, trump was also orde

eugene carol, a jury found him guilty 20 years ago, basically said he went in and sexually assaulted her. this is where donaldeil: the cases been adjudicated. charles: then he defends himself. and the judge who was appointed by bill clinton turns around with -- neil: he fuels this argument. thank you very much. preparing losses for the s&p 500. oh, absolutely. (inner monologue) my kids don't know what they want. you know who knows what she wants? me! with empower, we get all of our financial questions answered. so you don't have to worry. empower. what's next. jorge has always put the ones he loves first. but when it comes to caring for his teeth he's let his own maintenance take a back seat. well maybe it's time to shift gears on that. because aspen dental has the latest technology and equipment. with a staff that goes out of their way to provide exceptional care. plus free exams and x-rays for new patients without insurance and 20% off treatment plans. making it easier to get started with quality care. it's one more way aspen dental is in your corner. businesses go further with 5g solutions. that's why they

perfectly described before, all of the efforts at obstruction directed by donald trump himself to withhold these documents was at play. >> carol, it is so interesting. you pulled that out. because i remember the night of the raid, the night of the court approved search. talking to former senior doj and fbi officials and saying, what -- how do you think we got here and this person said to me, it had to be more than knowledge of possession. they had to have gotten pissed that they didn't give them back. i wonder, everyone assembled here an the volume one and two of the mueller report and knowing the depravity in that probe, it seems that the obstructive acts in this one may be what sealed his fate. >> so, i'm really keen to hear what melissa and andrew have to say about this, too. but i know from talking to sources who were involved in this at the time, that there were two stunner moments. the first stunner moment obviously is that special access program material that he's returned and it is willy-nilly, not in folders, not protected, tossed in with articles and nondescript memos. this is not how we do things in the united state

carole just said a moment ago, nikki haley tends to step in it. and she struggles to get her messaging around this alabama thing. donald trump steps and it every single day yesterday and i guarantee tomorrow. that doesn't seem to hurt him with his voters. >> no. and never has. you're going back to 2016. remember he assaulted john mccain's war record. he was a prisoner of war ended and it didn't seem to matter to republican voters. they seem to be more supportive of the military service. he insulted gold star families who have lost their loved ones. in iraq it didn't seem to matter. he said that -- he was caught on tape, of course, talking about grabbing women by their private parts. and it didn't seem to change things. so, i think that long ago, we learned that former president trump, saying the outrageous things, stepping in, it changing your message, it doesn't seem to really make a difference in terms of where his base is. they are silently for. him when he does make mistakes or when he does say something outrageous, they either applaud, or shrug their shoulders, say so be. he is who he is. and it hasn't changed the

carol policy is here with us to understand what's going on in this. i want to note, the supreme court this week will hear a separate case dealing with whether or not donald trump can be part of this election, there are a lot of people who think the court will decide, yes, he can be on the ballots. does this provide an opportunity for them to split the baby, to say yeah, we're not going to say he can't be on the ballots, but on the other hand, we're not going to bother with this immunity thing. >> there's a cynical job that the court doesn't engage in horse trading. getting votes on one and trading for the other. obviously, that's not the way the supreme court is supposed to be, but obviously, so thecolora case that we're going to hear on thursday, i personally believe and i think the sort of consensus is that they will rule in trump's favor that in fact he can remain on the ballot in all 50 states. now, the rationale through which they get there is another story. however, so that obviously would be a pro-trump ruling. this case provides an opportunity to provide sort of a strike against him. i don't think it's really in and of itself as strong of a case

carol, let's argue and get your thoughts about seen so far in south carolina. >> well, we are seeing a good night for donaldf the vote nikki haley at about 40%. , to me looking at the numbers the exit polls in looking at the numbers as they come in from the counties we have two republican parties here we have a republican party that maga oriented and there's a part it's not. in the state as south carolina it's about a 60/40 split and they are not happy with each other. the exit polling showing a significant number of nikki haley voters say at this point they won't be voting for donald trump. granted that is today an estimate closer to the fall election that's likely to diminish its incumbent upon the winner to do everything he can to unite the party. while donald trump did a good job of acknowledging the people who win he did not much of a job at all of trying to unite the party of compline and the opposition thing is time to come together, of trying to set a positive tone. even his rally demonstrated some of the tension inside the party introduced lindsey graham who is boot introduce the republican state c
