cnn political analyst sara murray here with us, along with jack quinn. he is the former white house counsel from the clinton administration. so this is going to be an interesting court appearance. when is it going to happen? >> he's supposed to be back in court on thursday afternoon, and the judge basically said, okay, if you want to behave like this, have shenanigans on instagram, you can come to me and explain why you want to operate on this gag order. he is allowed to be out there publicly talking about the case. but also you can explain to me, roger, the judge, why we shouldn't change the conditions of your release. he is out, he's able to travel when he noitifies the court. he's able to stay in his home in d.c. and make court appearances. but you can tell the judge is peeved. >> because the lawyers have more freedom to say things that roger stone does? >> yes. >> what might the judge decide as he does have this linear arrangement of what he can say under a gag order? >> if stupidity was a crime, eltd he would be in jail for a long time. i would susp

joining me to discuss that is phil mudd and jack quinn. ank you so much, gentlemen, for joining me this evening. jack, let me start with you.

let's speak to jack quinn, former white house counsel for the clinton administration. to have you on. kara mapped out that the judge has big options here, a range of options from a relative slap on the wrist perhaps changing the terms of the bail agreement right up to putting him behind bars for this. given the options, how seriously is a judge like this likely to respond? >> he's going to, at a minimum, get a tongue lashing. the judge will not be amused. she'll be very unhappy. i said earlier if stupidity for a crime, roger would be in jail for the rest of his life. this was just monumentally dumb on his part. kara outlined the possible courses of action the judge might take. i think she might be mindful of stone's desire to sort of set up a situation in which he appears to be persecuted. so my guess would be -- and it's only a guess -- that she will not put him in jail. i think the gag order will be significantly tightened to his displeasure. who cares about that? i don't think she'll put him in jail. >> jack, on the barr report, phenomenal reporting by our colleague

shimon prokupecz, jack quinn, and max boot.s the author of "the corrosion of conservatism: why i left the right." good evening. mr. prokupecz. >> hello. >> we're expecting this sentencing memo tonight. this is the filing where mueller could potentially tell all ahead of this report. what might we learn? >> there's a couple things going on so people understand and what we're waiting for here. the prosecutors and special counsel's office is supposed to file this by midnight. they're supposed to have this in the court system by midnight. then the judge is supposed to review it. then at that point hopefully it will be made public. clearly, you know, there's a holdup here. we did expect this to come at any point. we still expect this to come, and it could come by midnight. so we don't know exactly what the holdup is yet, but clearly we're all waiting. and, yeah, don, this could tell us a lot. you know, we're hoping to learn a lot of things concerning the manafort investigation. we know a lot already, but there are a lot of questions

massive serious headache for a president that, you know, is just having corrosion around him. >> jack quinn, the former governor chris christie of new jersey said the sdny posed a bigger threat to the president than mueller. i've heard other folks say that. i'm not sure if you agree. do you think the subpoena might prove him right? >> i think absolutely will prove him right. and i have a hunch, as i indicated earlier that this is going to be about countries in addition to russia. you know, tom, i want to be careful here, i'm not accusing him of wrongdoing but his whole business empire has turned very significantly on his relationships with gulf states and these countries at that point in time were as eager as russia or anyone else to curry favor with the trump political people. >> yeah. douglas, timing is everything, right? all of this is happening when the president is set to deliver the state of the union address tomorrow, the one postponed. been very controversial. him and nancy pelosi and democrat haves been at odds. trump's legal troubles clout everything he's going to say tomorrow, do

let's bring in now shimon prokupecz, asha rangapa, jack quinn and harry lippman. friday is when we relaxed. used to. not anymore. let's talk about roger stone in court today. the judge considering a gag order, telling him this is criminal proceeding not a public relations campaign. his media appearance has caught the judge's attention, and he's not going to like that because he likes the attention and likes going on tv a lot. >> he's also using the attention and media appearances to try and raise money for his defense. he was on fox news, he did infowars right after the court appearance, which is what he's normally doing. he keeps doing it because he needs the money. he has taken a different tone, perhaps, in some of his public remarks right now. but certainly this judge like you said, don, is no nonsense. she's already instituted gag orders in other parts of this investigation. paul manafort she sentenced to jail after he violated conditions of his release. so she is no nonsense. and if roger stone plays around too much here, he's going to be sent to jail. and if

listening to our air in the last hour, you had a former white house counsel for the clinton white house jack quinn saying this is an impeachable offense. he caf yautd that saying as this has been breaking in this 20-page piece, he didn't read it either. given everything he heard it seemed possible. paul cowan, i hope you have read the piece and have an opinion on, you know the law here. >> well, brooke, you know i have an opinion about everything. >> thank goodness. proceed. >> and i have read the "new york times" piece. it was an excellent piece. but i do not think that this is going to rise to the level of an obstruction of justice charge. based on what we know. >> why not? >> i think it's astonishing, by the way, that the president would still be trying to ask these inappropriate questions and stick his nose into this investigation two years into his presidency. >> this is the time check for everybody watching. this is just in the last couple of months that this allegedly occurred. >> there has been so much criminal of him and his attempts to interfere in the investigation. you would think he w

shimon prokupecz is here, jack quinn and morgan pekme, the director of "get me roger stone." good evening, everyone. shimon, i'm going to start with you. the judge in the roger stone case wasn't having any of his excuses. lay out for us exactly what happened in court and how roger stone explained his instagram post. >> yeah, don, first of all, it was really disabizarre to have r stone testifying in this kind of a hearing. no one expected him to take stand, but with most things with roger stone, this is how he performs. this is what he does. he took to the stand to try to explain to the judge that, yes, it was a mistake, but then he was offering all sorts of executions for how this could have happened. at one point telling the judge he didn't know who had access to his phone. he didn't know how he received this message. the picture of her and how it got posted. then there was another interesting exchange that i'll go ahead and read for you, where he was trying to explain to the judge, he didn't know that this was crosshairs. here's what the judge said to him. is it fair to say

i want to bring in now shimon prokupecz, jack quinn, michael d'antonio, michael's the author of "theruth about trump." gentlemen, good evening to you. shimon, i'll start with you. let's talk about this reporting from maggie haberman. maggie says the president left himself no wiggle room. he told her that he never spoke to roger stone about wikileaks. what's your take on this? >> so not only does he leave himself no wiggle room here, don, the other thing that he said was that he didn't direct anyone to get in touch with roger stone about wikileaks. remember, there's a part in the roger stone indictment that says that someone in the campaign directed a senior person, a senior campaign official to talk to roger stone about wikileaks. he's saying, basically, and he's really leaving himself no wiggle room, that he wasn't that person. he wasn't the person that directed anyone to talk to roger stone about wikileaks. it will be interesting down the line if that question ever came up with mueller and how he answered it when mueller asked. >> let's talk a little bit more, jack. the president a

. >> i want to bring in now pamela brown and jack quinn. good evening to both of you.a, you recently reported along with our laura jarrett that president trump lashed out at matthew whitaker over michael cohen. whitaker denied that characterization today, right? >> so he did. he denied the characterization that the president ever lashed out at him about the sdny investigation involving his former lawyer, michael cohen. our reporting, though, don, is that the president did bring it up to him, vented to him. he was upset that he felt like he was unfairly implicated in this investigation when he was listed, as you'll recall, as individual one, for this hush money scheme that cohen pleaded guilty to. so you saw whitaker sort of dance around it. i think we have the sound we can play. >> okay. >> sir, answer the question yes or no. did the president lash out to you about mr. cohen's guilty plea? >> no, he did not. >> i want to know whether you talked to president trump at all about the southern district of new york's case involving michael cohen. >> congresswoman, as i've me

on quinn and on the preschool now jack dorsey of course the c.e.o. of twitter and square he started a lightning storm on twitter by joining the lightning torch your thoughts on this moment and on his bitcoin maximalist i'm on display openly dissed all clients and he really has come out a bit calling hodler how do you see this playing out simon yeah well it's fascinating i believe jack was one of the investors in the last. on the ground and now he seems to be getting is. you know getting himself into it we when we were unkind to max i think when i did my first lightning transaction to make a purchase and every lea sees london a pound is going to be on the greatest ball and i'm really looking forward to seeing what companies like twitter. and jack is going to be doing exercising his influence in silicon valley in all disagree. the next wave of scaling using the lightning networks i finally off the old easiest modi's to pay really looking forward to seeing something and actually use it can is. people can do what appears to be the solution for the infini

what appears to be the solution for the infinite scale angle transactions on the big quinn blog yeah interesting jack dash was openly contemptuous of that coin cash of course a contentious hard fark that was supposed to be in lieu of scaling the bitcoin network but we're seeing now scaling happening in lakes and bounds roger vassar the big sponsor pickling cash was baiting jack dorsey on twitter jack dorsey of course a multibillion our two huge successes with twitter and square taken public already i think he might be above the fray simon what do you think yes so i mean you know the one thing i do like about bitcoin cash is that focus. apic when we've been very much focused on story value but now we've got lightning that was kind of putting me back to looking at what we can do with much of adoption again and i think you know orders of magnitude greater scaling and solutions that we need to work on the still unknown ways to get the bill to the right but it's great to see that we've you know if pickling cash if they want to continue to focus on but. it's great to see the queen get back in that game as
