michael sam i was already told they are going to sign a new contract with microsoft next year so good luck to those in. the. next contract with microsoft and you already negotiating a new contract the plan is to go for a negotiated procedure with microsoft for the desk top layer. and for full for tender with a reseller. for microsoft doesn't the practice to negotiate this framework contract violate the rules of procurement which demand open competition no they don't that are different procedures foreseen by the procurement rules and of course the procedure is open court for tender but then the negotiated procedure is a procedure that exists in the rules and it's. it's fully legal and the conditions are that there is only one provider that can provide this particular solution the technical solution so there is no other possibility and what we've seen is that we if we didn't do what we're tender an open court for tender for provision we would land with microsoft anyway and it would be much more expensive because what you're doing now is negotiating a price list together with microsoft w

and analysts of president trump and one of the very -- of them told me they considered michael cohen along with sam nunberg and actually roger stone to be the people who understood donald trump and were decoding him the very best. and, you know, maybe that's a d damning statement about who trump's friends are but it is revealing, this guy had insights into the president's mind at a time when the regular order of our government had basically been blown up. so these corporations were paying for somebody who generally had knowledge that the rest of us didn't. >> interesting this morning, donny deutsch who has known michael cohen for a long time, on "morning joe," he just talked to michael cohen who told him all these companies came to him. and novartis has suggested in writing otherwise. as we watch the president walk out along with the hhs secretary. we'll listen to the president when he begins to speak. my understanding, though, is that mr. azar will speak first. we'll keep our eye on that. but as far as cohen goes, what is his strategy at this point, do you suppose? let's listen. sorry, let's liste

people like michael cohen, whether it's worked or not, made lots of money by virtue of their relationship with donald trump. it is not a good argument in the white house. >> i want to get to what sam nunberg said. take a listen. >> if they're going to say michael is not a lawyer for donald. he's not to us. like the way the president almost did on the fox and friends interview. that's a big mistake. his knee-jerk reaction is to push people away, treat them like garbage. he should be careful with what he does with michael. >> do you think that is playing into the white house, zerlina? >> yes. since april 9th when they raided cohen's office has been acting pretty unhinged. post april 9th he did that granting fox and friends interview. he has been tweeting a lot of attacks directly going at robert mueller, rod rosenstein and the justice department. and now you also see him continuing that line by essentially trying to distance himself at the same time attacking the russia investigation. but i also want to say while it is disturbing to see this level of public corruption giving lots of money to influence meddlers like michael cohen trying to influence policy, the other big news in that

sam stein. up next, michael and notty, the lawyer for stormy daniels dropped another bombshell this morning. he says two other women may have been paid off in order to keep quiet about their affairs with donald trump. this is and notty talking. he's been pretty sharp on this stuff. this is "hardball" where the action is. at&t provides edge-to-edge intelligence, covering virtually every part of your manufacturing business. & so this won't happen. because you've made sure this sensor and this machine are integrated. & she can talk to him, & yes... atta, boy. some people assign genders to machines. and you can be sure you won't have any problems. except for the daily theft of your danish. not cool! at&t provides edge to edge intelligence. it can do so much for your business, the list goes on and on. that's the power of &. & this shipment will be delivered... michael avenatti has been a thorn in donald trump's side since he took on the stormy daniels case in march. he sued trump and michael cohen for defamation. he made public a summary of cohen's confidential banking records and he helped expos

remember in march, former trump political adviser sam nunberg said mueller was seeking information regarding michaelohen's payments, yep, you got it, to stormy daniels. so much for russian interference. >> did mueller folks ask anything that related to the issue around payments to people or women? >> they asked if i ever heard anything about that. my answer is i never have. i don't know anything about it and i would haven't known anything. >> sean: sadly, tonight what is happening is mueller's runaway train of an investigation is something we have been warning you about for a year. i have told you there are five forces actively working against donald trump. they have from the beginning. it's your corrupt media, the corrupt democratic party that doesn't care about the american people, weak establishment republicans. never trumpers. they want to be proven right and what we deep as the deep state. tonight you have two of the five forces working together malign the president you elected. we did digging today. what did we find? there are a lot of reports you are hearing about, about the inner working of

security adviser during the obama administration and michael anton, who stepped down as spokesman for president trump's national security council. samunning, what will's reporting. they don't, thai on their way. maybe they're going to get there. maybe not. you're going to go out of communication for days. then end wup awe hour train ride, four hour drive, one-hour hike. it sounds crazy. >> it does. and this is literally a show for the cameras. pretty telling that kim jong-un is letting in journalists and not letting in weapons inspectors. it's clear this is not a move towards denuclearization. this is a pr move by kim jong-un and to be clear, he has said he's shutting it down -- he's having a celebration. i don't need this thing anymore so i'm going to shut it down. notspectors verify what i'm doing. i'm going to use this this boost my aimage around the world? what does this say b about kim and his claim? when these images are going to be all american intelligence gets? >> first of all, we haven't even had the meeting yet and when we do have the meeting f we do, whole lot of other sites to be b shut down. all of that will be covered

sam nunberg, questions. >> are you buying -- >> they knew what they were getting into here. michael cohen doesn't have any expertise on health policy. what he offers is access to the president. this is what's so dangerous about what's happening here. we've seen things like run-of-the-mill corruption in washington before. a great piece in the transition called vena corruption, lining their own pocket business selling access. something that looks a little more like systemic corruption where the president is publicly saying he will potentially intervene in regulatory matters that doj is undertaking or other agencies are undertaking, sending signals he might change the regulatory landscape for companies like amazon, that he doesn't like, cost them a fortune. when you're a ceo and see that the president can knock $55 billion off amazon's capital in a single tweet, your thought is i have to pay someone to keep them off my back. >> great point. >> when that happens you have a situation that looks more like how vladimir putin runs russia, autocratic capture. you need to pay the autocrat in

sam nunberg. >> in the year after the elections of 2017, obviously, mike michael was asked not to join the administrationo washington. did he undertake any business dealings along the line of selling access to the president? or did you get the impression he was trying to put himself out there as a guy that could people in touch with the president? >> no, i hadn't contacted michael. >> you know, like selling access on the eve of that bombshell. tim o'brien is here from bloomberg, has reported extensively on donald trump's what, his money or his lack of money? >> his money, his debts the cartoon cast of characters that have advised him over the years. >> sort of his money and his not money. >> or lack thereof. >> just to be clear. another expert first time on "the beat" an expert on corporate finance, thanks to both of you for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> absolutely. tim, what do you glean from this kind of secret financing operation and does it have anything to do with donald trump? >> well, i don't know how secret it was, clearly michael conwas walking out with a shepgle out almost the moment

fifth is former cia director michael hayden's assessment of the current threat to american national security. it continues with jim clifton -- sam >> the past couple of days i have been thinking about the # meeting women and think about harassment particularly in metropolitan spaces basically street harassment. a couple days ago when i was back in manhattan i was talking about street harassment and talking about the difficulty of keeping safe as woman, particularly as a black woman, and how we talk about the issues amongst black men. there's a man in the audience during q&a and raised his hand into not have a question and he said you know, the reason why men follow women down the block or pursue them relentlessly is because they have no home training and kept repeating himself. i nodded and tried to be gracious but in the back my mind i was like how can i think about someone's home training when i'm peering for my life. i'm going to read a section about street harassment and this push and pull as a black woman with regard to my safety and someone else's and so i hope you like it. an nypd sniper tower was set up on lenox avenue b

house intel committee not interview paul manafort or michael flynn or george papadopoulos or anthony scaramucci or reince priebus or k.t. mcfarlane or sam nunberg or natalia veselnitskaya or stephen miller on keith kellogg or george nader or dan scevinop. >> we only have limited time. you can keep listing people there. >> i'm done. >> i don't agree automatic all with your contention that they interviewed more people than we did. they may have interviewed other people, but i don't know that either one of us know that they interviewed more people. none of those people had direct bearing on this one question that was, did the cia follow procedures. i don't think there is a single person that you mentioned who could cast any light at all on that question, and many of the people that you mentioned -- i'm sure you know this, katy -- we could not interview them because they were under indictment by the special counsel, and that puts them out of bounds for us. we can no longer talk to them. the thing that we were interested in, and the thing that our report states, is that the cia, the other intelligence agencies, maybe rushed to judgment on th

if it did go directly to michael cohen, why did michael cohen need a home equity line of credit to pay the $130,000 to stormy daniels? joining me now, sam nunberg, a former trump campaign advisor. sam, i'm going to pose that question to you. where did the money go? it is a lot of cash. >> you're going to get me in trouble and i'm going to get called back to the grand jury. i'll just say i have no idea. >> have you been called back to the grand jury? >> i have not. >> do you expect to? >> who knows? is the answer i could be? i don't know. they have an open -- it's an open invite, i guess. >> why would michael cohen need a home equity line of credit to pay $130,000 to stormy daniels if his shell company is taken in as much as $4 million? >> as far as i understand -- this is all from public reporting. if the mueller people are watching. this is -- i have no firsthand knowledge. he took that loan out to pay stormy in october of 2016 so maybe he was a little cash poor at that point and he needed to get her the money before the election. subsequently i don't know why he co-mingled or didn't set up another company to do this corporate work for

sam, adrienne. good morning, everyone. >>> we're going to begin in connecticut with a stunning reversal. the state supreme court in that state vacating michael skakel's murder conviction. that same court had reinstated skakel's conviction in 2016 after a lower court ordered a new trial and they said his attorney failed to identify an alibi witness depriving skakel of a fair trial. he's the nephew of ethel kennedy. depriving him of a fair trial. he was found guilty in 2002 of bludgeoning martha moxley with a golf club in greenwich, connecticut in 1975. >>> in los angeles, protests over the federal government's decision to end special immigration rights allowing hondurans to stay in the u.s. ever since a hurricane, hurricane mitch devastated that country in 1998. about 57,000 hondurans have until january 2020 to either find a way to gain legal status in this country or leave the u.s. the u.s. also has recently taken special immigration rights away from five other countries. >>> and in texas, former president george h.w. bush has been released from a houston hospital where he had spent the last 13 days for treatment of a blood infection. he is

michael cohen is as good of alec baldwin's of the president. it is so the swagger, the haunted look, the whole thing. he even looks like the guy. thank you, samu, mimi rocah. >>> up next, a guide for surviving the trump presidency. jon meacham is coming here. his new book takes a look at how our country has survived even the most divisive eras how we got this far without trump. now we have to figure out to get farther with him. this is "hardball," where the action is. called audible. you can listen to the stories you love while doing the things you love, outside. everyone's doing it she's binging... they're binging... and... so is he. so put on your headphones, turn on audible and binge better. my digestive system used to make me feel sluggish. but those days are over. now, i take metamucil every day. it naturally traps and removes the waste that weighs me down. so i feel... lighter. try metamucil and begin to feel what lighter feels like. and try new metamucil fiber thins, made with 100% natural psyllium fiber. a great-tasting and easy way to start your day. you can do it. we can do this. at fidelity, our online planning tools are clear and

sam nunberg. who insisted that mueller has something on the president related to his business experience. now in a series of interviews last night, another witness, former trump campaign aide michaelto is shedding new light on the investigation of possible collusion with the russians. here's what he said. >> i learned they're still looking at russian collusion. they're still looking for it. i was there during the time when they believe that russian collusion was initiated. that would be the only thing they would ask me about. that certainly is the only thing we talked about. if anybody thinks that russian collusion is off the table, they haven't visited with the mueller team. >> boy, that is news. caputo who worked on the trump campaign from late 2015 to early 2016 also said that mueller's prosecutors know exactly what they're looking for. >> the mueller team is spearfishing. i think they believe they know where they're going not asking a wide range of questions. that seemed to be unrelated. thee they have e-mails backing it up. i don't think that they asked any questions they don't already know the answer to. if i'm a witness, that's what the aus app who interviewed me told me to

sam dash saying yes. >> thank you, rachel. i just can't take this anymore. i know a lot of you have said that, but i just can't take this anymore. that's what michael cohen said. that's what former trump lawyer michael cohen is telling friends according to a report in "vanity fair" by our first guest, emily jane fox. and one of the things he can't take anymore is michael avenatti, who will also be one of our first guests. emily jane fox reports cohen according to two people family with his thinking, has vacillated between fuming over aleksandr torshin's involvement in the matter and feeling browbeaten by the barrage of headlines. isn't he supposed to be representing a porn star? the document michael avenatti tweet out contained a list of banking transactions that michael cohen engaged in using the essential consultants llc that michael cohen used to pay stormy daniels $130,000 during the presidential campaign to stop talking about having had sex with donald trump years earlier. today michael cohen's lawyers asked a federal judge in new york city to bar michael avenatti from the courtroom in the case because michael avenatti publically released thos

sam nunberg. what a battle of titans. that is fantastic. i'm sorry, wolf. >> i'll get to you in a second. i want to go to sabrina for a second. another trump campaign adviser, michaelo was also interviewed by robert mueller and he came out saying, and i'm quoting him now, that mueller and his team, quote, know more about the trump campaign than anyone who ever worked there. it underscores the gravity and the extent that the mueller team -- they know so much more than any of us even have a clue about. >> and i thif that is precisely why the president's legal team is reluctant to put him in front of robert mueller to testify because robert mueller knows a lot more about the campaign than the president might believe that he knows. and this is a president of course who has not always been able to stick to the facts so he certainly threatens himself by exposing himself to a risk of perjury. and that is the strategy to have answers in a written format or something in between a formal interview and written answers. >> to jeffrey now, mark meadows, the conservative congressman of the freedom caucus, wants to audit the mueller investigation right now -- presumably to get ac

back and asking people people like sam nunberg have you ever heard anybody speak russian in trump tower. neil: to that point. i want to bring out another comment from michaeluto who validates what you just said. at least on what kind of questions they're asking him. >> the matter is, and the truth that i gave nem along the way is that there's no russian collusion, zero, zilch, nada, nothing i saw, nothing i heard about i can't believe anywith are that donald trump or even paul manafort would bring russian intelligence services into our campaign. neil: furthermore, the name trump, the case of the father, the son, the family, never came up. >> i don't know if this is different or not than what happened in the clinton administration. it was whitewater looking into every every single b l le bad estate deal and-- >> discussions of the intern. has this veered way beyond-- >> i feel it's getting toward that. >> it's obstruction, that he obstructed a noncrime. and by the way, for the lay person out there, james comey brought a very famous case of obstruction on a noncrime. it was against martha stewart. she did not-- they did not charge her for insider trading. th
