jeff sessions. >> the advice donald trump holds close. never apologize. always attack. let's not forget it comes from the wise counsel of roy cohen. if jeff sessions is trying to be decent and have degree of dec decorum and he violates the rules, that is the problem we have to confront directly. >> that is the real thing. john just hit on what is a really key thing that explains a good 53% what we see from the white house on a daily basis. we understand where the president is coming from in the sense we know he follows these rules. especially those of us like john and me and chris who follow trump in new york for a long time. then you have the government. which people expect to run differently. there has been a huge problem in the white house. not uniformly. not everybody. a lot of really good people working there who try hard to end up getting swept in under a giant rug. people all act as if all is well. just because there is one person there they don't speak for the administration or you can ignore that person. this is just how the president is. you just can't say that over and over again. the world doesn't necessarily care. that

trump campaign, high-level individuals like paul manafort and michael flynn, possibly jeff sessions, michael cohen, his personal attorney, carter page, his foreign policy adviser, other individuals such as jared kushner, and the question as to whether they were engaged in conduct that was criminal collusion with russian spies, that's the ongoing investigation that mueller is undertaking right now, but then, of course, there's the secondary element as to whether there's a possible cover-up and attempt by the president or others at his direction to squelch that investigation because of his view that this was somehow a witch-hunt. that equally would be problematic criminally, and the refusal of the fbi at this point to comply with the freedom of information suggests the very real possibility that the fbi and a special prosecutor's office are looking hard at the possibility of abuse of power and obstruction of justice and whether there was an attempt to cover up the underlying allegations of criminal conduct. >> yeah. i should point out that cnn, like other news organizations, are suing the fbi in fed

cohen, a democrat himself. does president trump have a point here? i also want to point out, i'm pretty sure jeffessions' lawyer is the god father to one of james comey's kids. so welcome to washington. >> welcome to washington. by the way, bob muler is a republican. so it's important who the head of this investigation is. i think the president's comments this morning are just a reminder that as long as he's president, we are never that far away from crisis. it really is hard to see how we don't end up in a collision at some point at the end of this investigation or actually long before the end of it. these are two very different men. bob mueller is an honest, fearless prosecutor who's going to follow this case as far as the facts go, as far as the law takes him, and is not going to be worried about threats or intimidation from president trump. and we know recoils when faced with something like this. he likes people that bow to him, that cow to him, who are afraid of him. that's where you see constantly hanging out publicly this idea he could fire bob mueller or order him to be fired. the longer

cohen, trump's personal attorney, michael flynn, his first national security adviser, jared kushner, his senior policy adviser and son-in-law, paul manafort, his campaign chairman roger stone. his longtime political confidant jeff sessions, his attorney general. these are individuals who appear to have been in somewhat regular contact with russian spies at the same exact time that russia was hacking into our election, and we've got to figure out what exactly they were talking about. there's at least a possibility that there was collusion taking place. we also know that the president refuses to release his tax returns. is he hiding something from the american people? why is that the case? we also know that the president regularly criticizes our allies. he criticizes great britain or france or australia, mexico, canada, the european union, nato. he's not afraid to criticize others, but for some reason, wolf, he's never been able to utter a negative word about vladimir putin or russia. these are questions that will ultimately be resolved in terms of whether collusion took place by the special prosecutor. we also need an independent commission so that the american people can get answers as well. >> all right. we're
