they recognize that they're not talking about whether to have new laws, but what they'll be. >> mike allen in just a little bit. signup.axios.com. >> that does it for us on this wednesday morning. "morning joe" starts right

with a look at axios, the co-founder of axios mike allen. good monday morning.y morning to y'all. the axios one big thing, russia is winning its war. so if you look at what u.s. intelligence knows about the russian efforts to interfere with our elections, both 2016 and very much so the midterms they wanted to sow confusion and pit americans against each other. they've succeeded and a grand scale. you have investigations that you just teased coming up. there's a remarkable piece on wired, 17 investigations of various sorts involving president trump, all of them stemming from that original fbi investigation of russia's interference in the investigation. look at how it's affected the image of the fbi among the trump base. it's put facebook and the other tech companies on the defensive, it's made russian investigations a dominant political issue for the year coming ahead and, of course, it's increased america's polarization. >> we saw obviously the rudy giuliani interviews from yesterday. so we kind of know how the trump administration is spinning things but from yo

co-founder of axios, mike allen. what is the one big thing this morning? court. so usually we bring you raucous news. today's soothing news. so after the courts got so politicized by the kavanaugh confirmation hearing, what we're seeing by chief justice john roberts is a deliberate effort to bring down the temperature. sam baker noticed that roberts is trying to avoid controversial cases rfling his institutionalist view. he wants the court to have a light footprint, a light touch on politics. and we saw that earlier this year when he said there were not obama judges and not trump judges. there are just justices. we see that is in the cases that he's taking. all that will be shaken up if they have to take that affordable care act case. >> how does justice kavanaugh's presence on the court affect the energy between the other judges there? >> i saw justice kavanaugh at a christmas party last weekend. he had everything in check. >> quite a christmas party. >> and that reflects the approaches taken on the bench, just like the chief, bringing down the temperatur

report, the truth is there's 293 pages out there already from these indictments that we've seen, mike allenher who is doing some work for us, take a look at some of those bread crumbs and how it seems like in these indictments he's always you putting in these very specific details as if to say i know a lot more than you think that i know and almost to send a signal to potential witnesses and others about the level of detail, the level of infiltration he has in the different aspects of this investigation. every time one of these indictments comes out it always has way more detail, has new developments that nobody knows. we talk so much about the probe, but still so much of the coverage is guessing versus knowing. only he knows. >> so let me ask you about some of those big picture stuff. you mentioned the 293 documents already out in the public. it seems to suggest that there is more coming. when you take a big picture approach what are some of the specifics that you see maybe in the pipeline? >> it's interesting, when he talks about do you remember that famous comment that the president made

"what happened" really referred to the fact, how did we get into iraq? weapons of mass destruction when there weren't any. and that was really where scott, i thought, was finding his voice. it did very well. it cost scott his washington career. as far as i know, he lives in oregon, where he is the vice president of communications at a community college. but he knows, in his heart of hearts, because it was checked since, that he did what he had to do. and it

>> allen thicke mike flynn was treated horribly. today in a federal courthouse, i think he was called up head of project a. his business partner was indicted for being a foreign agent of turkey. he was on the transition team, the trump transition team. michael flynn was head of the dia. he knew better. and as our friend judge napolitano has been pointed out, he hasn't doing the president any favors pretty closely we can just changes the timeline for the president and says that there's collusion is not a crime but then collusion is. he is changing things around and really irritating the prosecutors in the southern district. the only people who he knows, and he might want to call a favor and it would be helpful in a material way. kennedy: no, i think the southern district of new york is so different now than when rudy was a federal prosecutor. and they are so politicized. i too, surprised to hear you say that because i think the fbi is overstep their bounds. >> look, they overstepped -- kennedy: i think there is so much heavy handedne
