here to discuss juliette kayyem, harry litman, chris sweker. good evening. going to start with you. you have a history of coming on this show. what you say turns out to be true in the future. what do you say about today? >> the cover-up is just background noise and it's the crime. and it's collusion. i think that there's no way to read the totality of what happened this week because we can't forget mike flynn at the beginning of the week and wa we sort of could gain from all that blacked out text to what happened today. i know the southern district of new york case is important. i know it's scary to have a president as an unindicted co-conspirator in a case like that. it is, it doesn't have the impact on our american democracy like the rest of the stuff related to the ramt of time that was spent trying to wheelings and dealings with the russians to, have either their -- to get them in the campaign early and how long those conversations went until earlier this year. and so it's, you know, mueller is not messing around. this is a collusion case. it's not a pro

juliette's back, harry and chris, as well. so chris, let's start with you.iously served as attorney general under president george h.w. bush 1991-1993. sources tell cnn deputy ag rod rosenstein and others in the justice department are elated about this selection. why do you think that is? >> i think he's a real professional. i think he's a straight-up person, a lot like the way i view mueller. my former boss. i was a young agent fbi agent serving in miami when he was the attorney general, and he was an outstanding attorney general. i didn't see, i've seen many political attorney generals come and go over the years. he really wasn't one of them. i look at him as a real professional, a real craftsman. i'm not sure that the president is aware of that, but he will not be controlled by this president. >> do you think that rosenstein thinks that he won't interfere then with the mueller investigation and just let it roll out? >> i think he'll let it play out. i really do. >> do you guys agree? >> i think it's just hard to know. i mean, i think that -- what you're s

so i want to bring in now ryan lizza, juliette kayyem, and greg miller.the author of "the apprentice: trump, russia and the subversion of american democracy." so good to have all of you on this evening. so let me start with you, ryan. here it is right here. you see what i'm reaching for. this is the letter, the op-ed that 44 senators wrote, saying we have to be guardians of our democracy. what does that say about the state of our country to you, that you have these people doing this? >> well, first of all, it was mostly democrats, but there were about half a dozen or so republicans in there. and it suggests that there are these people out there, former senators, who believe that the political system isn't quite grappling with the seriousness of what's going on. and they want to nudge their fellow senators and basically tell them to step up and take this a little more seriously than you have been, that what they're reading in the papers, what they're learning obviously from the mueller investigation is serious and to get out of their partisan thinking and

. >> let's bringing in josh campbell, juliette kayyem and harold. 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 ambi

josh campbell, harry litman and juliette kayyem rel back with me.t the president's lawyer rudy giuliani told nbc news tonight. he said there's a yiddish word that fits. he said. they don't have bupkes. he downplayed any concern what flynn may have said. fell had information to share with mueller, that hurt the president, you would know it by now. okay? and fox news says rudy gul likens the offense in the flynn guilty plea to spitting on the sidewalking with major repercussions for many. what does that even mean? >> happy hanukkah. i didn't believe that he actually said it. i think giuliani knows bubs. >> i think that was the first time i had seen it spells out. bupkes. anyway, go on. >> so this is consistent with where giuliani -- giuliani is sort of out of the loop and then creates can these diversions about well, if we don't know the it now, then therefore we will never know it. the reality is we know it now. everyone's focused on the black lines and what they're editing out. those lines are telling us something significant. they are blacked out b

juliette, you first. the feds say she was working to establish a back channel to influence u.s.y. alexander or shin, a good friend of putin was her handler. it's astonishing how many tentacles we have in this pot to influence the 2016 election. >> yeah, that's kind of the russian style of doing things. i remember back when i was reporting on this, former obama administration official who was seeing all the intelligence coming out about this at the time said the russians were just throwing spaghetti at the wall and see what would stick. tday you had former cia director john mclaughlin saying this is classic russian spy craft. this is one of the three kind of prongs of a styles of attack that they do. they're beak trying to cover as much ground as possible just to make sure at least one or two strands of spaghetti sticks. >> garrett, i want to play it again. this is at this town hall in jewel of 2015 when butina came out and asked trump a question about russian sanctions. watch this. >> i believe i would get along very nicely with putin. okay? and i mean we have the strength. i do

so, juliette, let's just talk about this. the 302 is released.w people on the internet defending it. why doesn't mueller release a 302? they're hiding something. at every single turn, people say, why don't they do this? they're hiding this. then mueller releases it, and then it shows that they lied again, and then they come up with another excuse. this is all a bunch of b.s. all these people are b.s.'ing. giuliani is b.s.'ing. flynn lied. it's all there. what is it that people can't see? >> well, they can't see how bad this is getting for donald trump. the release of the 302 is really interesting, and i think sort of puts trump in a very difficult position because what we learn in the 302 is not only was the fbi essentially just trying to help flynn tell the truth -- i mean throughout it, they're sort of trying to get him to sort of remember what exactly he was doing with kislyak, the russian ambassador, or what certain phone calls were about. and what comes out by the end of the 302 are two things. first, that not only is flynn lying, but flynn

my question to you, juliette, is, president trump knew, right? he knew we were all going to find out the truth, but yet he tried to spin the narrative to retiring. did he really think he could do that or is he that misreading the situation so colossally that he did not understand that nobody, not even fox news, which at first kept retiring on the bottom of their screen and eventually changed it to resigning, nobody could go along with what he put out there, which is false. >> i mean, i think that's right. i think, you know, and i can't psychoanalyze the president but i think what i've come to believe is that the president's only value is allegiance to him. and so, he has to create constant narratives that he let mattis go, that this person wanted to do this, and that allegiance becomes the way that the president thinks about -- allegiance to himself, not to the nation, not to a policy, not to security, not to a world order that david gergen was talking about. and so, yeah, i think he thought that people would believe it, and they don't. and let's

juliette kayyem and renato mariotti. hello to both of you. the president slamming michael cohen any chance he gets now. does this mean understands anything that cohen could tell and prove to authorities, that he's worried about that? >> well, it sounds to me like he is trying to teach people who might cooperate like michael cohen that he's going to do whatever he can to -- to try to increase their sentence, try to get back at them, while in the same exact day rewarding somebody who is refusing to cooperate with authorities. it's essentially the exact opposite of what you'd expect an innocent person or the president of the united states to do, which is an innocent person would be encouraging people to cooperate with law enforcement and, you know, chastising people who refuse to do so. instead we have the president of the united states doing the exact opposite. >> it's not opposite day. is it opposite year? yeah. >> opposite term. >> opposite term. great minds. great minds. juliette, in the new court filing from cohen's attorneys they say in ad
