police weren't able to save 22-month-old cooper harris in 2014. and his death in a hot car made headlines nationwide. >> new details in a tragic case we've been following. the death of a georgia toddler. >> but there was something different about cooper's story. something darker. because cooper's dad, ross harris, ended up being charged with a crime. accused not of forgetten cooper, but of murdering him. and his murder weapon of choice, prosecutors said, was a hot car. >> disturbing new -- >> even if you have seen the headlines, there is a lot more to this story you may not know. we will take up to the scene, show you surveillance footage from that day, and give you an in depth look at the evidence. >> it sent chills down our spines knowing we were in the head of a murderer. >> we will also talk to insiders who have never spoken out before. they say ross harris was not a killer but a doting dad. >> was he a proud dad? >> so proud. >> he loved that boy. >> a father who ended up on trial for an unimaginable crime. >> the entire case was a house of ca

of course, they have to cooperate -- >> harris: then why would james comey say he wasn't followed the correct way? >> you would have to ask director comey about that. >> harris: i imagine they are doing that right now and capitol hill. i wanted to get your take on it, though, because when you have the former head of the fbi say that one person wasn't treated the way others would have been -- i'm just curious to get your response to it. >> everything that i have seen has been consistent with normal practices. >> harris: neil, thank you for your time. some front runners are starting to emerge in the democrat search for the perfect 2020 candidate. who came out on top in a poll of likely iowa caucus goers? and should the trump administration be worried? plus, congress fighting over the border wall with the government shutdown on the line. what will the president do as democrats stand firm in their opposition? >> he's off the deep end, here. all he's going to get with his temper tantrum is a shut down. he will not get awol. ♪ as the one who is always trapped beneath the duvet i'm begging y

we don't know what the cooperation was or how they will use it. >> harris: so they won't tell the judge today. >> judge napolitano: the judge asked if he was still cooperating, and the prosecutors said yes. and the judge said "why am i sentencing him? we usually don't sentence until the cooperation is over with." it's been postponed for a year. >> harris: isn't that a basic question? are you still using him in a federal level with investigators? would not be like the first thing -- open go before i get my coffee, let me find out if i can even --" >> judge napolitano: normally don't want to sentence until the cooperation is over with, so the court knows the full extent of the cooperation. >> harris: wide and we know that before? >> judge napolitano: if general flynn had been charged with everything the government could have charged him with, and if he had been found guilty of everything the government could have charged him with, he was exposed to 60 -- 6-0 -- years in jail. as opposed to six months for the government is recommend and zero. how do you get from 60 down to zero? he told th

playbook of techniques that get used to get you using the product for as long as possible. >> cooper: harris who was one of the first silicon valley insiders to publicly acknowledge that phones and apps are being designed to capture and keep kids' attention. >> harris: this is about the war for attention and where that's taking society, and where that's taking technology. >> cooper: you know, it's one thing for adults. i mean, for kids, this is a whole other thing? >> harris: that is where this gets particularly sensitive. is, developmentally, do we want this war for attention to be affecting our children? >> cooper: do you think parents understand the complexities of what their kids are dealing with? >> harris: no, and i think this is really important. because there's a narrative that, "oh, i guess they're just doing this like we used to gossip on the phone." but what this misses is that your telephone in the 1970s didn't have a thousand engineers on the other side of the telephone who were redesigning it to work with other telephones and then updating the way your telephone worked every da

the government that he had been and are mostly helpful, meaning, the full throttle, donna cooperation. >> harris: they didn't say that with him. >> no, they did not. you would think they would do a year in prison or less. i think you have the and understood that there were six of one and half a dozen of the other. yes, he's been nominally cooperative, but there were also serious crimes here and there are and she's holding back. it's clear from what the government is saying, there are limits to what he was saying. i do think that hasn't locations i do think their applications. i know guy petrillo very well, i think the one think he will face if he has to step down i testify before the hill is that he will have privilege prayed there as it thinks you might about it. >> harris: i'm trying to wrap my brain around that, because this is also somebody that has trouble telling the truth. >> he's guilty of perjury. let's out with that. the republicans have a field day with this if the democrats decided to call michael cohen as a witness sometime between now and march. >> harris: is interesting, too, to g

. >> harris: his cooperation come of course. saying that he would be willing to, that would mitigate his sentence, perhaps. that's a lot of why he might step up to the plate. i know he says he wants to absolve his guilt over having lied in the past, but it doesn't hurt to be chopped down some of those 36 months, if you think you can. i wanted to point out that the headline from the president there -- you pointed it out, too -- that he made a mistake when he hired michael cohen. this, from a president who come a time and time again, kevin -- you know, you covered him saying it -- he said he has no regrets. now he says he has one, and it's michael cohen. we will cover the news as it happens. >> i couldn't have said it better myself. thanks for having me. >> harris: former prosecutor stephen mulroy says that what cohen is claiming could be trouble for the president. let's dig in deeper. he's a professor of law at the university of memphis, and the author of "rethinking u.s. election law." good to see you, stephen. first of all, why

concluding their investigation in a timely fashion, they respond that harris did not supply them with some 140,000 documents to cooperate with their investigation. >> this is outrageous. i have never been so angry about anything. the democrat head of the state board of elections who has been disgraced by the three-judge panel, he put out that statement, not the other board members. he is trying to suly again mr. harris's name -- >> has he submitted these

that's why we see the government saying he helped us, but this is not a cooperation situation. >> adrian, what harryell in that piece is looks at mike at flynn on one hand, paul manafort on the other. he wrote -- what distinguishes flynn is the nature of his cooperation with the special counsel, prompt, detailed, unfettered. how did you see that contrast this week? >> a very stark contrast. if you're somebody like michael flynn, i think he's concerned about his son being locked away for a long time, but we were just talking about this, you don't lie to the special counsel. you don't lie to the u.s. attorney. you just don't do that. so michael cohen is now seeing the repercussions of what happens when you do. he may be locked away for a much longer time. paul manafort we know was texting people in the administration as he was talking to prosecutors. so it's unbelievable i don't want to sit here and make a prediction, but i actually initial lid would have thought somebody like michael flynn might have been you know, more apt to not cooperating, and paul man at fort, given how much he's been working in

harris: the most he can get a six months? he has zero. now it's a toss-up. >> the range of 0 to 6 come with cooperation. en put over. >> harris: gentlemen, thank you so much. i'll be right back. so-so pizza? not in this house.

you want to consider a postponement and the idea is you're not completely done cooperating, is the inducement there, harry, that if you get all the way through and give them everything maybe you still have no jail time in the end of it? >> that's an inducement. i think he is pretty much done cooperating. there have been four different postponements. mueller said in his memo he's substantially done cooperating. but i think what he was saying is, would you like to take a deep breath and come back another day when this is all sort of put behind you and they were very quick to accept it. >> sorry, the behind you, just kind of playing both sides stunt that your lawyers tried to pull? >> precisely. the lawyers tried to pull, exactly what, in fact -- they fell on their sword after. they were quick to say this wasn't flynn's ideas, it was ours, it was basically stupid, which it clearly was and they had tried to kind of harness the talking points trump and others used. sullivan has a reputation for sometimes being tough this way on the government. they thought, maybe we can get a little bit of this action and they

concluding their investigation in a timely fashion, they respond that harris did not supply them with some 140,000 documents to cooperatewith their investigation. >> this is outrageous. i have never been so angry about anything. the democrat head of the state board of elections who has been disgraced by the three-judge panel, he put out that statement, not the other board members. he is trying to suly again mr. harris's name -- >> has he submitted these 140,000 documents? >> hold on a minute. he's not required to send to a democrat every piece of paper a campaign ever put forward. by the way, it is irrelevant. the board of elections needed to establish that these things happened, that they happened at all. mr. harris only ever touched his ballot. his. he doesn't have anything to add. this was an absolutely atrocious smear by a disgraced democrat elections chair, the former chair now on the way out. it is unconscionable. >> but dallas, originally this board of elections unanimously voted not to certify the votes, there was a 7-2 vote to continue the election -- >> originally godzilla was a lizard. how long ary going to w

the point is, harris -- >> harris: nobody send signals to the president like "i didn't completely throw you under the bus." >> the point is, another general rule is cooperationubmissions by the government are usually sealed. i heard you guys adverting to that a little bit. the point is, let's see if they are sealed or not. >> harris: why would that matter? >> if it sealed, they aren't going to see it and we will be able to -- speed when you don't think he would leak at that level? >> it's hard to say. mueller's office has been pretty good on that particular aspect. list is assumed for the sake of argument, as i like to say, that the three memos come out. cohen, manafort, the other one -- flynn. it's going to tell us a great deal about the status of the investigation in the sense of what they have told the special counsel. >> harris: here's what we were arguing about -- >> i would like to hear that. >> harris: the legal threshold of trying to prove -- and i use the word "conspiracy," because that's a linear argument i can follow.

harry, flynn, everyone has painted him out to be the golden-haired cooperator.why did the judge throw all these restrictions on him? what message is that sending? >> the message was in direct response to the sort of hiccup that flynn delivered at the very end. he had been an exemplary cooperator, in there early, gave it all up -- >> until? >> until in the final sentencing memo he picked up on the trump talking point and he had about two pages of they didn't give me the warning and maybe i wasn't trapped and sullivan was. wait a second. i think when sullivan first gave that i want to see the 302, people were expecting him to come after the governor as he sometimes does. in fact, he instead came after flynn and said did you really mean to plead guilty, et cetera? then he went on to really excoriate him on the facts of the crime. but he was, i think, taken aback by the public and the suggestion in the memo that in fact he had been ambushed as the talking point for the white house. >> so not only for flynn but his family in the courtroom, who thought it was a slam d

cooperation with the mueller probe. as to where the money came from for the payoffs, we knew it would be a campaign finance violation. >> harris: to that point -- let me a cut in really quickly pray this is coming into fox news through john roberts. the president's attorney, rudy giuliani, said he never says a campaign finance issue is not a big crime. he is following back, i guess come on dershowitz and others saying that giuliani described the campaign finance violation as "not a big crime." if it turns out that's a problem, it would be a big deal. even giuliani -- he says that. >> lisa: he didn't kill anyone. i think everyone in the country can agree that michael cohen is a terrible attorney. clearly, he's the one who -- if he's breaking the law or not, that's the point of having an attorney. and why president trump was relying on him to follow the law. in regard to the legal aspect of this, it's up for disputes if president trump broke the law or not. you also have people like former fec commissioner bradley smith, who says he doesn't think there is anything criminal here in what president trump did. i think that is up for

republicans are demanding that mark harris be seated in the new congress next week, saying that he was duly elected, and that there will never be a new election. well, governor cooper announced today he will appoint an interim board of elections to continue the 9th district investigations, republicans said that they would refuse to participate. which prompted cooper to send this letter to the chair of the state republican party today saying basically, you can't tell me what to do. quote, the governor's lawyer writes "the governor will not be impeded from exercising his duties under the constitution to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. the governor will also not permit your obstructionist tactics to stall an ongoing investigation." "one is compelled to conclude that you are withholding your nominations and encouraging people not to serve, solely for the purpose of impeding and obstructing the 9th congressional district investigati investigation, end quote. maybe they were hoping if they created enough chaos and got the elections stopped and doubled down on their candidate, then seating mark harris would seem like a forgone, inevitable conclusion. well

harry, this memo lists at least three ongoing investigations where flynn is providing assistance one criminal investigation completely redacted in the document. another completely redacted. the special counsel's office also says is he cooperated into the investigation with links between the russian government and members of the trump campaign. talk to me about the significance of all that. >> well, it's tantalizing, first of all, he comes across as a model cooperator. as you said, it's important every prosecutor wants someone come in early to induce others. he did just that. obviously full-bodied including documents. but the details we don't know. there are three matters, one is this completely blacked out investigation. the other is what we would have thought of as the bread and butter of the matter, the russia campaign. then the third, this page here it -- has a read it, what's blacked out here should be a number 2. in other words, this says there's a whole other area under the ambit of the special counsel's investigation that he helped with. so it gives this kind of teaser about a big area that will mueller senior pursuing that we don't -- that has not yet really come home in a way to make us aware of it. so what's not in

cooperating. he wants to talk to congress. and this is a big problem for donald trump in lots of ways we know and lots of ways we don't know yet. >> and harryyou know, to that point, what gloria is saying, michael cohen is -- has just sat down for another interview with george stephanopoulos. this is going to be a public, you know, answering all these questions in public. just sat down with michael cohen for his first response to sentencing and president trump. this guy wants to talk, harry, and not just in private to prosecutors and mueller. >> i think that's right. you get a sense of him as sort of overwrought and conflicted and now wanting to come clean and bare his soul. of course he also has an incentive. he still has the possibility of reducing his sentence. but if he's at the center of all these various transactions, the epicenter is the president. if -- in trump's universe, if he's the sun, all the planets now are being implicated all around him, and the -- there's a real feeling of a drum beat, and also, everything that mueller or sdny is finding has corroboration, and they are -- it's not simply looking at michael cohen's words. >
