matt miller, you were here in this hour yesterday. we were talking about this in more theoretical thunderstorerm. still figuring out who matt whitaker is. matt whitaker is someone not inclined to approve a subpoena from robert mueller for this president. >> it's fairly remarkable that he has already apparently reached that conclusion before being briefed on the case. he's reached the cornclusion he's not going to recuse himself before he's consulted with ethics officials about whether that would be appropriate. it looks like the president has put matt whitaker in this job precisely for the reason obvious to everyone. he expects him to come in and either slow down or curtail or shut down the investigation. one of the cliches that i think is misused most often in washington is the idea the cover-up is worse than the crime. oftentimes people like the president -- like i believe the president is doing right now execute cover-ups because the underlying crime is terrible and they know they're going to get caught. to see the president do som

what would the scenario be, matt miller, for the justice department? might they be holding on to the knowledge that don junior may have some legal exposure? leave this investigation and rod rosenstein's hands until it's come to its natural conclusion, or would that cross some sort of ethical boundary? >> i don't know that they'd do that. i don't think they'd use -- they wouldn't use that to try to preserve the investigation. however, if they were able to build a legal case against donald trump jr. and thought they could also build a legal case against donald trump you'll see prosecutors make those deals where they'll talk to one subject or targest the investigation and subject to a plea agreement decline to bring charges. they talked about charging his son, ultimately didn't do it when he plead guilty. i don't think that's really what's on the table because under doj guidelines, the president can't be indicted which would lead you to believe the president can't plead guilty to a crime while in office. to the larger point, if they are going to move agai

matt miller, we've had this conversation..4 minutes of optimism that maybe whitaker would be convinced if the decision came to him to approve a opinion. he might be inclined to do so. new reporting in "the new york times" suggests that sources close to him say that would not be the case. is that where this is heading? the president won't sit for an interview. some semblance of written answers cobbled together between the president and his lawyers. where is this going next? >> you know, i think that's been the president's plan all along. i said this last week. i don't think it's a coincidence the president stalled on answering these questions n oan once he gets a new ag, lo and behold, he'll suddenly give these answers to the questions and won't answer the questions about obstruction of justice and i gather probably won't answer other things as well. one of the other things the president said over the weekend, you know, about whitaker is he didn't know his views on the case before appointing him. we just know that's not true f

chuck rosenberg, and matt miller, former justice department spokesman and msnbc justice and securitylyst. let's start with the basics of this story. a lot of speculation about potential charges. what do we actually know? >> well, chris, what happened here is a prosecutor in the eastern district of virginia was working on a motion to seal criminal charges in a totally unrelated case, and he appears, just as you said, to have cut and pasted some language from an assange file because the case law was the same, but he didn't remove assange's name. an alert researcher last night was perusing these documents and came across the name of assange in reference to criminal charges into a sealed case against assange and put it out on twitter, and we all saw it, and the government is saying this is a mistake, but they're not disputing that there may well be criminal charges against julian assange. this doesn't prove that there are such charges because it could have been a draft that the prosecution was preparing, but it does show that there is an effort to look at criminal charges against julian

. >> and matt miller, what about matt whitaker, and what about his role in all of this in that peri period? >> it is a critical question, because i think that harry is right, if you are looking at the reaction from the former justice department officials like harry and myself and others who are reacting today, they are outraged, because the president president is trying to do two things that are, as i think that don mcgahn rightfully said impeachable offense. with we have seen him push for the department to prosecute his political enemies and en pmys over time of him trying to intere fear at the justice department to stop or slow the investigation into himself. and now, if the president were to actually have gone forward with this order and ordered them to investigate or prosecute clinton or comey people there would have refused that order, but now we have a new justice department head whitaker who said that she should be prosecute and that flies in the face of those career pros ecutos who led that investigation, but it is questioning why he is in that job, and it is because he is hostile
