errol, first you. you have the victory lap, kind of the party at the white house last week with the president and republicans. they acknowledged then it was a momentary victory lap. they knew that, obviously, they know how it works and it needs to head over to the senate. but now you have a victory lap, but also a key senator, susan collins, saying, forget that, we're starting from scratch. for our viewers, listen to what susan collins had to say. >> the house bill is not going to come before us. the senate is starting from scratch. we're going to draft our own bill. i think we will do so and that we will come up with a whole new, fresh that solves the legitimate flaws that do exist with the aca. i would like to see us put together a bipartisan group to solve this problem. >> starting from scratch. what does that really look like at this moment, errol? >> well, what it would look like is a long, arduous process that will go well beyond the real deadline here. because look, to the extent that susan coll

cnn analyst jeffrey toobin and cnn commentator errol lewis. maggie haberman, you have reported to the "new york times" that advancement is withstanding. what's the latest? >> i'll try to narrow down that category, but my colleague mike schmidt reported how james comey had kept these memos, these notes about the president, where he basically felt that the president was, if not trying to pressure him, trying to cozy him and curry favor with him, for lack of a better way to put it. as you have this investigation ongoing, there was a phone call where the president just basically wanted to chitchat and just wanted to talk, because this president, as we have heard repeated repeatedly, is fairly isolated. the president has been speaking to prospective lawyers given the latest in these probes. it's not a huge surprise. given what he is facing, you would suspect he might go to somebody who has some washington experience. that's what his current lawyers possess, but this is lawyer i expect he's not going to want to spend, and he's learning what special

let's bring in errol louis and amber phillips.mber, back to the february 14th briefing there at the white house. sean spicer, the day after flynn resigned. let's listen. >> the evolving and eroding level of trust as a result of this situation and a series of other questionable instances is what led the president to ask for general flynn's resignation. immediately after the department of justice notified the white house counsel of the situation, the white house counsel briefed the president in a small group of senior advisers. the issue here was that the president got to the point where general flynn's relationship misleading the vice president and others or the possibility that he had forgotten critical details of this important conversation had great a critical mass and unsustainable situation. >> amber, it seems that the time line seems to contradict the narrative here, because the president knew every criterion based -- that he used to ask for the resignation of flynn on the on 26th, two weeks before he actually asked for that

>> i think errol is absolutely right. the thing that got president clinton in trouble was covering up a totally separate indiscretion that was uncovered in the course of that investigation and that's the challenge for the trump administration, now that a special counsel is involved. it's not just the underlying issue of potential allegations of russian collusion, which have not been substantiated about you attempts to conceal documents or misrepresent events in testimony, those are the types of things that could hurt the trump administration and in the past when we have seen people get in trouble and these types of probes it's the coverup, not the crime. >> errol louis, sarah westwood, appreciate you being here with us in the morning. >>> president trump is facing a firestorm after reports that he fired james comey over the russia investigation. one senate democrat is saying there's mounting evidence of obstruction of justice. >> and the president in saudi arabia right now, trying to reset relations with the muslim world.

errol, let's talk about the upshot of the first foreign trip. angela merkel felt after meeting with president trump she had a more go-it-alone stance after that. she said, let me read, the times when we could rely on others to an extent over. i experienced that in the last few days and i can only say that we europeans must really take our fate into our own hands. what does this mean? >> well, it is a devastating indictment of u.s. foreign policy. secondly, it is music to the ears of the dictator vladimir putin. his entire project has largely turned on trying to put daylight between the united states and europe. one nation at a time he can interfere on different events on the continent. to weaken the european alliance the way the new foreign policy of the u.s. appears to do really helps him immensely. putin taking territory as we saw in the ukraine, sought to intervene in the elections. look what happened in france. they were openly financing and supporting a candidate for the leadership of that country. this is serious business. it is a change f
