i think what mimi says makes a lot of sense. i think the place -- to go back to the prior conversation, the bush administration, obama administration, others in the wake of watergate, as peter said, have not wanted to invoke executive privilege because of fear it would look bad if the courts said it went too far. the trump administration don't care as long as it takes time. the things are politics hurt, pleading the fifth. the headline of donald trump jr. takes the fifth is a bad scene. and i think that they have successfully, and somewhat mysteriously to my minds in terms of how this negotiation played out, they were able to get this testimony limited to a place where donald trump jr. would never have to take the fifth and to the extent i have views, most of the smart lawyers who have read the mueller report sort of seem to suggest that is what he did with the grand jury and with mueller and that's where we are right now. and i do think that everybody who has suspicions about his culpability and what happened in that room are s

mimi, you get to go first with a very simple question. what do you learn from listening to a human voice on that recording? >> you learn a lot, brian. you know, as you said, it's one thing to read the words, but when you hear his intonations, when you hear, frankly, his hesitancy, he's struggling with the words because there is a certain consciousness of guilt going on here. he knows he shouldn't be doing this. now, you can question why would someone leave this in a voicemail? it seems pretty dumb, frankly, but he's uncomfortable with it. i think he knows on some level, you know, i really shouldn't be doing this, but it tells you the importance of what he feels he's doing because he's doing it anyway. there are so many clues in what he says. i mean, for example, he says you know what we've always said about how the president feels about flynn. well, first of all, this isn't the first time this has come up. they've had these conversations before. that's what that says. we have always said. i mean, this isn't dowd going out and saying how t

and i'll bet you the answer is no. >> mimi rocah, let's just take a brief sidebar to mr. flynn, who is awaiting sentencing. dumped his last lawyer and has taken on a new one. we know this thanks to the president's tweet this morning. "general michael flynn, the 33-year war hero who has served with distinction, has not retained a good lawyer, he has retained a great lawyer, sidney powell. best wishes and good luck to them both." sidney powell is a frequent contributor and guest on fox news. well known in the republican legal world. what does this mean to you? does anything get your attention there? >> i mean, the whole thing really gets your attention, and i can't tell you exactly where this is going, but, look, first of all, flynn is about to be sentenced. this judge has signalled very -- pretty clearly that he was planning on sending flynn to jail, and we have no reason to think yet that that would have changed. i think flynn is, you know, going down a different path. he thinks, well, if i'm going to go to jail with this judge then i might as well roll the dice on a pard

>> let me turn to you for a second, mimi.s idea that kelly just reported on, absolutely immunity, what do we know about what hope hicks can assert regarding her time in the white house and on the campaign? >> craig, there is no such thing as absolute immunity. i mean, it just doesn't exist so i can't explain to you what they could or couldn't assert because as far as i can tell it's a made up term. the only kind of absolute immunity i know of have to do with husband and wife or like a priest and pa rischerishioners, even those have exceptions. so this blanket immunity with no possibility of exception is absurd. they will lose in court because i don't see how any court can uphold this kind of claim. the problem for the democrats is you get one shot. while they lose in court i guess they can call her back and ask questions that were objected to your first shot is your best shot, any trial lawyer knows that. i worry about this opportunity -- frankly i'm not sure i would have taken her testimony with this, i would have postponed

mimi, i will start with you. it's not a crime to be somebody being an intermediary for form agents who is also a pedophile, but it raises questions about what are the ways in which access to the president is control 1k3d who gets in his ear on important matters of state? >> absolutely. the fact that nader had this previous conviction is troubling in and of itself. the fact that he apparently had the conviction 25 years ago. he didn't stop for 25 years and just now when he went to the airport, he had child porn on his phone. thfrs something he has been doing over the years and it's not about the criminal convictions this. makes him extremely black mailable. that's one of the main problems with trump and the people he surrounds himself with, including trump himself possibly. that's what congress needs to get out in the counter intelligence. we know how many people are involved in the activity that they wouldn't want public and that makes them subject and vulnerable to black mail by foreign powers or domestic. >> da

mimi, i turn to you now. let's start with john dean. course, democrats holding the first in a series of meetings on monday. i know you probably watched his testimony. the former white house counsel, john dean. here's part of what he said. >> in many ways, the mueller report is to president trump what the so-called watergate road map was to president richard nixon. stated a little differently, special counsel mueller has provided this committee with a road map. >> i know you watched that play out yesterday. did democrats get what they wanted from john dean? >> i think they did. and, look, i beg to differ a little bit because i thought that joyce vance and barb mcquaid, i thought their testimony was really compelling. all three of them together, what they did is they highlighted that in the mueller report, even if you put aside for now the redactions, there already is substantial evidence of crimes, let alone impeachable conduct. for those democrats who are saying we don't need to wait, i think this buttressed that. i know a lot of people

and mimi roker who say legal analyst. chuck, i'll start with you.ll start with the president's comments because you work closely with special counsel robert mueller. he said in that news conference that he wouldn't basically be saying anything more than what his report said. is there anything in the past 69 days that's happened to change that? >> i don't think so, craig. look, having worked for the man i can tell you that he will prepare carefully and fully. but i can also tell you that he will testify carefully and narrowly. i would take bob mueller at his word if he told you that he was going to stick to the report. and, oh, by the way, the report in and of it skefl is remarkably compelling so there's not much reason or much need i would submit for him to stray from it. >> will he answer, chuck, will he answer lawmakers questions? you know these things. frequently devolve in kabuki theater, side shows. if it turns into that, do you get the sense that he would answer the questions? >> well, you know, he's had a lot of experience testifying, so i wi

mimi, thanks for taking a few minutes. we talked a little there about what john dean had said.ou heard from malcolm and soof the republicans, when it came to their case for why this is not a case of obstruction, two key themes they seem to stress. let me go through them with you. the first one was this idea that there is no, there was no under lying crime established by mueller in the report when it came to collusion, conspiracy, that you did not have an underlying crime that was established to obstruct. what do you say to that? >> well, first of all i say so what because under the law it just doesn't matter. second of all, as far as congress is concerned we're not talking about the crime of the obstruction but the conduct and whether it was obstructive or impeachable. lastly, i would say as i think barbara mcquaid made this in her testimony over and over again, there was lots of crimes, potential crimes, that trump wanted to make sure were not investigated even if a crime was not ultimately found to be provable or chargeable by mueller, we know there was during the all of the
