life's work we go, and i want you to join us in watching something jill wine banks said on this network whose first rodeo this is not. jill of course is a veteran of watergate. we'll talk about it on the other side. >> one of the things that helped so much in watergate was before we brought indictments, before there was an impeachment vote, before there were articles of impeachment there were public hearings and people already understood the facts and so they could accept the results in a way that they wouldn't have. the facts were out enough that the public rose in protest after the saturday night massacre. that's why we need public hearings right away, even if mueller's report is made fully public. >> mieke, your opinion of that. >> i agree with that. i think that public hearings to lay out the factual predicate for any action that congress is going to take is very important. and what you see is a coordinated effort across many congressional committees. financial services, intelligence, oversight, even judiciary. to look at the different aspects of this. they've started calling some witnesses, but i would expect that we

jill wine-banks and "daily beast" politics superstar reporter betsy woodruff. okay, jill, i want to unpack some of what attorney general barr said at his hearing because i feel like he hinted that he's got some discretion about what goes into the report. what does that mean? i mean mueller writes the report and then he puts some stars and question marks on it? >> basically, unfortunately, the way the rules are written for this particular special counsel, there is discretion in the attorney general. and that's unfortunate given what he had written in his memo about what he thought about the mueller investigation and about the opportunity to indict the president. he's already spoken on that. he sounded a little differently when he was testifying at his confirmation. i have been urging that there be public hearings so that the facts can be judged by the american people, so that witnesses, body language, and their testimony can be evaluated, their credibility assessed by the people who have to make decisions in the next election. so that's an important element, even if the mueller report were to be released completely. the other way to release it, if barr will not release it, is through applying to a court so that grand jury testimony can be released to the congress for their evaluation of possible impeachment if that is warranted. of course we don't know what conclusions mueller has reached. so if there is something there, it may be possible to get it to congress for their evaluation. >> okay. whenever barr mentioned transparency, though, he had this caveat within the special counsel rules. how exactly does that work? >> well, first of all, he can change the rules. >> he being barr? >> he, barr, yes. it's set by the department of justice. so when he says he's bound by the rules, he isn't. >> he is the rules. >> he is the rule maker. so i think that if he wanted -- if he felt legitimately that the public interest required making this public, and that could be if he felt that he was -- that the report exonerated the president, that's something the people need to know just as much as if the report says that if he were not president he would be indicted because the evidence is of a crime. the only reason that he might not be indicted is because of the office of legal counsel opinion. and that's something that could be tested. it can go to the supreme court and let them decide. there's nothing in the constitution that clearly says you cannot indict a president, and many people in america -- all you have to do is read twitter and you will see that people feel no one is above the law, and that if you say that the president cannot be indicted, even though there's evidence of his criminal activity, then somebody is above the law. >> jill, my friend, i'm not sure if i agree with you, if we should start making decisions based on what the tweeterverse tells us. betsy, what are you hearing? how close is hereto being finished? >> there was an interesting conversation this morning that andy mccabe had with reporters shortly before his interview with andrea mitchell on this network. of course mccabe hasn't been in government for upwards of a year but he was asked what his take was on these reports about the mueller report coming out. mccabe, of course, played, a, if not the pivotal role in kicking off the mueller investigation and he said that while he didn't have any inside information about the trajectory of the mueller investigation or the status of the report, he suggested that he would be a little surprised if the report comes out as soon as this next week. one of the reasons, i think, that a number of folks are a little bit perplexed about some of this reporting, which is wide, is that there's still litigation going on

jill wine-banks, special prosecutor, now msnbc legal contributor. let me go to you first, jill. what can we learn from the watergate investigation and hearings that could be instructive, particularly around the history of the mueller report going public? >> i think one of the most important things is that even if the mueller report goes public, which i certainly hope that it will, and think there is a need for, we still need public hearings. the watergate case was informed by the senate having hearings with the witnesses evaluated by the american public. we could see their body language. we could hear their tone of voice. we could evaluate the testimony of one person against another and make a determination of what was true and what was not. congress' role is really important, and in this case, congress has to do oversight about what is happening. they can look at what laws need to be passed to prevent future outcomings like this. but they also can look at whether the president needs to be held accountable for political crimes. rather than for violations of the law, which is the limit of mueller. so i don't think we can count completely on mueller to answer all of our questions. it's really important to have hearings. the other thing we can learn from watergate is the way to get this public may be by making an application to the chief judge of the d.c. court where the grand jury is sitting, asking that the information from the grand jury be released to the congress for its review and evaluation for impeachment purposes. and then as the court said in deciding to send our road map to the house judiciary committee, it may have to be made public if the congress thinks that the public interest demands that. so that's an alternative way to get this out to the public. >> kari, why would the white house and his allies -- his being the president's -- allies in the senate and in the congress resist going public if they are saying there's no evidence of collusion and there's nothing to worry about? if there's nothing to worry about, why are they trying to stop it from going public? >> well, we haven't seen evidence of that. and you heard your clip from -- >> we haven't seen evidence of what? >> the report hasn't even been issued. >> but we've heard -- >> the horse before the cart. >> we've heard them say they do not want it to go public. my question is, why wouldn't they want it to go public? >> we just heard from lindsey graham, we do want it to go public. we know there is no collusion. we know over and over, despite in this country we have the presumption of innocence and despite all of the mainstream media and all of the democratic leadership trying to erode the right, the constitutional right to the presumption of innocence, that's what we're seeing. there is no collusion. and so let me tell you, adam schiff, played a quote from him, he said two years ago on "meet the press" he had more than circumstantial evidence of some sort of treasonous crime. where is it? it's been two years -- >> we don't know if we don't see the report. >> there is a presumption of innocence. >> how do we know what is there if we don't see the report, pete? >> well, we're going to see the report. we're going to see it all, i'm sure, in due time. i wish jill wine banks were in charge. i don't know. kari, six men who have worked for trump in various capacities have pled guilty. they have been sentenced to federal prison. they're awaiting sentence. or they have already served time. 26 russian nationals, including 12 gru agents, all three guys, roger stone, paul manafort, michael cohen, worked for donald trump closely. he hired them. they're all birds of the same feather, a feather which is a corrupt crime family. and they've made their money their entire lives in nefarious, unethical and illegal ways. and those crimes are catching up to them. they pled guilty. they have gone to jail. i mean, when you say it's a witch hunt or when you sa i there is no collusion, they're in jail. they pled guilty. >> with all due respect, what you're saying is a red herring. >> i want to follow up on pete's point. because mueller details how manafort lied to almost everybody. look at this. he lied to tax preparers, bookkeepers, banks, the treasury department,

jill schlessinger is here with when you can expectrrefund. jill, good morning. you've already said you are not anticipating a refund but we know many americans are. how long can they expect to get one after they file? >> if you file electronically, it should be within 21 days. if you go with the paper filing, we're talking about six weeks or so. and again, this is based on the information from the irs. no delays due to the government shutdown. there were some fears about that earlier. >> if there are any delays, what would be the reasons? >> the biggest one is people who claim the earned interest tax credit or the additional child tax credit, a lot of those people filed early hoping to get those credits. unfortunately, they are not issued until mid-february. the irs says tomorrow if you file those two kinds of credits, you should get your refund direct deposited. >> some people have gotten their tax cut because -- there are people who got tax cuts as a result of the president's tax plan. they may not get a tax refund but their net tax bill will have gone down. >> that's really important. when we look at the refund amount we just cited it's down by $500. now think about that. $500, but if you got a $10 a week pay increase throughout the year, you may not have noticed it. i get it. but that was part of your tax refund. so it's important not to conflate a refund with a tax cut. >> a refund is essentially giving a free loan to the government and as a financial adviser, you tell people probably not to do that. >> not the best idea. >> for people who do get a refund, what do you recommend they do with the money? >> take a trip? >> stop it now. first -- >> buy some shoes? >> some necklaces? >> catch up on your bills, obviously. then, of course, pay down any outstanding credit card auto loan, debt. beef up that emergency reserve fund that's so important. and, look, if you have some extra money, maybe bump up that contribution to your retirecounn the previous year, use that. capture it. put it into your retirement account. by the way, putting money into a retirement account is a great way to reduce your taxes for next tax season. >> regardless of your age. even if you are a young person. put money in for retirement. >> just do it. >> all of that available in your book? >> absolutely. thank you, bianna. >> jillg them in mexico during a medical emergency. carol and bertram palk claim they were told off to get off the royal caribbean's "allure of the seas" because they could not treat her internal bleeding. they paid thousands of dollars to return to the u.s. demarco morgan shows us their ordeal. >> reporter: this couple has been on more than a dozen cruises but none quite like this one. carol and her husband bertram were in the middle of their january cruise from miami when she became ill. the 79-year-old twonwent to the ship's medical staff and was told she was bleeding internally. >> he told me i could have a heart attack or i could bleed out and i need a blood transfusion and they had no facilities to do a blood he waneo g to hospital. the doctor said we're kicking you off the ship, and those were his words. >> the couple was taken off in coasta maya, mexico. they arranged transportation but they had to pay for it. they took a five-hour cab right to cancun and flew to mexico city. they bou

. >> jill, to my ears there are way more than enough quotes in what nelson just said for a dandy ap piece on the mueller investigation. but let's keep this in context, jilleven if these reports are correct that it is coming to a rapid end, you've got everything else, you have a democratic controlled house of representatives and you have these spin-off cases including but not limited to, the justice department's new york office, the southern district of new york. >> exactly. so even when this case comes to a close and to be clear, all indications are that this now is wrapping up at some point, whether this happens before or after the president's trip to vietnam for his second north korea summit, it is expected to be wrapping up sometime soon. there are signals that that is the direction that this is headed in. this is by no means the end of this. we have the two other investigations, the michael cohen investigation that's working its way through the southern district of new york. we've got that investigation into the president's inauguration fund and whether he was accepting the -- that inauguration fund was accepting illegal contributions from foreign go

jill stein or the two former governors, trump won because he motivated his base to get out and vote better than clinton did. what desides stereotypeing makes people assume that a jill stein voter would have otherwise cast a ballot for hillary clinton or a johnson weld voter would have done otherwise. plus, more american voters sat out the 2016 presidential race than voted for either trump or clinton or third party tickets. if you are still bitter, about the outcome of 2016. i suggest you focus your energies on those owho didn't get off their [ bleep ] or blame the faultles of your favorite candidate who provided insufficient instration to vote. schultz said he wants to run as an individual centrist. if he does, he will be in good company. a gallop found more americans self identified as independents, 42% than democrats, 30% or republicans, 26%. hey, by that logic, maybe schultz should be telling the democratic field that they should stand down, let's ruin his shot. if we learned one thing from 2016, it is that we know nothing about what the future holds. so let's let this play out. obama's speech writer john favreau tweeted this, quote, 91 of the explanations coming from howard schultz or his advisers answer a very simple question, if he thinks he has a winning message, why can't he run in a democratic primary? why does he get to skip that contest? just because he's a billionaire. would love to hear an answer. well, john, put this on your podcast, accepting schultz at face value, he's no longer comfortable being a democrat. he said this on "60 minutes." >> i look at both parties. we see extremes on both sides. where we are sitting today with approximately 21.5 trillion of debt. which is a reckless examples. not only of republicans, but of democrats as well, as a reckless failure of their constitutional responsibility. >> and according to washington post, citing a growing national debt, he says he opposes liberal proposals to provide people with free healthcare, college education or giern tee'd public jobs. we have to go after entitlements, he said last year, though he has not described what that would mean for programs like social social security and when kamela harris said she'd get rid of insurance companies, schultz said, look, that's not american. the only people upset about schultz or legitimate third-party candidate getting in are those satisfied with the status quo. well, count me out. the only way to break out of the two-party stranglehold is if we reject the same old choices. and apparently, 42% of americans, a plurality agree with me. most fundamentally, this is america. everyone should be encouraged to participate and to run. the dynamics of a multi-candidate race are only unpredictable. the naysayers on schultz may be his gland handers in two years. joining me now to discuss, adviser to howard schultz, bill burt, a deputy press secretary to barack obama. i just did all your work for you, bill. >> i don't know what i'm going to do on the show now, but thank you. >> okay. but now i need to go harder on you, because those are my sentiments, are they necessarily yours? and you know where i'm going, the sacramento bee wrote this, published this essay you wrote in 2016, where you bought into this. you said if stein or libertarian gary johnson needed support a little, that could matter in a close election. in the same way i would bet that ralph nader or many of his supporters wishes he didn't make john bush our 43rd xander in chief. i suppose stein supporters would not want to be in the position of explaining to kids how they helped make trump president. you know that's the exact argument people are making against schultz. >> you know, there is another essay i wrote for the sacramento bee a couple months before that, we should be worried about donald trump winning the presidency. because no one was worried enough at the time that donald trump presented a clear and present danger to this country and kouchld be elected and then he was. now, in that essay, what i said was jill stein couldn't make a meaningful difference in that race, except to stop hillary clinton. the difference between now and 2016 is a lot. what howard schultz is saying is he considers this bid for the presidency. is it what jill stein was saying? it's that the two candidates were close together. he is saying the two party versus moved so far apart, that the american people are close together. they're losing a voice in this conversation. what he is doing is going around the country, talking to the american people, seeing there really is an interest in trying to find a better way. we can all agree politics is broken. what howard schultz is doing is asking the question of whether or not a new choice could help to fix it. >> john fab broe say -- i'd rather here yours. >> here's the thing, i worked on a fair number, mile. they're often decided by a hand. of battleground states and a hand. of battleground precincts inside of those states. howard schultz is ask, what if we did this differently

jill wine-banks and former u.s. attorney joyce vance as well as stu sb zaku former spokesperson of ami. a reminder jill and joyce are both msnbc contributor. joyce you first here. we should say that ami believes fervently it has acted lawfully in the reporting of the story of mr. bezos and says it was in good faith negotiations to ra try to resolve all matters with does there conduct from what we know about it fit into federal extortion? >> there's really a question within a question here. the first question is, did ami do something that would violate federal extortion law. it's a very close call. there's a good argument to be made in many prosecutors are making it that the conduct could be charged. also there's the separate question though of whether ami has violate the its nonprosecution agreement. this i think is the question that presents them with more of a problem. prosecutors could stop short of charging them but find that they violated that agreement and that would of course, have legal repercussions for them. >> stu, i want you to put all this into perspective for us. we have a battle among powerful people. a heavyweight publisher who built an empire on threats and bullying and the richest man in the world. you worked for david pecker from 2004 to your 2006. so when you go through bezos 'allegations, do they sound reasonable to you? are these within the realm of possibility? >> absolutely alex. i believe everything he's put out there is stuff that ami has been doing for a long time. what you have here is the first guy to say no, i'm not capitulating here. i'm going to call you on it. i think they didn't anticipate that response. >> what do you expect having been the spokesperson, what do you expect is the ripple effect through ami or through the head of the "national enquirer" offices right now? what are they thinking? >> you have to ask what they were they thinking when they did this. i think on the editorial side, people working there are happy they have jobs because i don't know if you have been paying attention, there's been a lot of layoffs in the media business lately. those there gainfully employed and are happy. as far as the management side, i would think peck earn his team are pretty happy with what's going on. they are in the conversation again whether things get to the point where the immunity thing is thrown out is another story. right now, they've put themselves back in the conversation and not so much in a negative way in their eyes. our eyes is a different thing but their base kind of like trump's base believes this is what they should be doing. >> they don't worry about reputation, credibility being sullied at all, it's about city spelling is the name right. >> it's the "national enquirer." you can't create those words. >> i'll retract the question. jillsecution agreement with the southern district of new york, right? so was this a breach of contract? >> it sounds to me like it may very well have been a breach of contract. the contract required that they do nothing in any way criminal. and if you read the e-mails and i'm assuming that the e-mails are correct and true, they put in writing direct threats, if you don't do what we want you to do, we are going to harm you. we have very damaging photographs and we will publish them. that is your standard classic blackmail or extortion. so if that's not a crime, i don't know what is. and no first amendment protection would prevail to protect them. and i'm a big strong supporter of the first amendment but it's no different than, for example, executive privilege doesn't prevent you from being required to talk about criminal conversations. the same thing is true here. the first amendment does not protect you from threatening someone saying unless you do what i want, i am going to hurt you. i'm
