mr. richardson, have you told the president yet? haven't."d, "no, i "what do you think we should do?" d we talked about it. richardson, at the right time, going over to the white house and meeting with the president and letting him know that his vice president was now the subject of serious criminal investigations. brian: do you know what his reaction was? tim: the president's? no. i do know one of the wonderful things about mr. richardson is that he told us those things. but i do not think this is one of the things -- this was, to put it mildly, above our paygrade. but he did inform us about it. he kept us informed at every step. brian: did you ever get one of his doodles? [laughter] tim: oh, you bet. i have mine framed. ron: me too, i have mine too. brian: he was known for this. what kind of doodles did he do? tim: when we first talked to him, the very first time, he was very impatient with us, because we were, first of all, laying out our credentials. to us, the most important thing was that he had confidence in , us. so he doodled then. but as soon as i started laying out the evide

mr. richardson's mind that he would take the case away from us. sure, he was going to supervise us.n any number of long sessions him thewent over with details, he kept apprised of every step. he had us over to washington for long meetings in which we debated back and forth what kind of liotta be accepted. he always heard us out on the merits. he never went said, baker, you are a 31-year-old kid. i'm the attorney general of the united states. shut up. he always listened and responded on the merits. it was an amazing experience for the three of us, four of us come including george. it was an extraordinary experience. brian: did you feel at the time that you could indict the vice president? >> we believed that he was not immune from prosecution while in office. , among thes lawyers defensive positions they took, be that, he could not prosecuted, that he was clothed with immunity. the solicitor general at the time, robert bork, wrote an it, sayingmarizing the president of the united states is immune from prosecution for crimes committed while in office, but the vice president can be ind

mr. richardson. next speaker, please. >> i'm from the senior and disability action as well as from north beach. i think of a poem that was written a number of years ago. the author will be 100 this month. it was titled the old italians are dying. and this has certainly been more of the case in the last 15 years where as the older italian owners of multi-unit buildings died, the children did not want, they lived elsewhere or they didn't want to be responsible for a building. because typically the owners lived in the building and the tenants were also family. we had a very stable neighborhood, people always looked after each other. but when those owners had no other choice and they died, kids didn't want the building. it was a matter of just putting it on the market and that's where speculation came in and has really destroyed my community where i raised my son. he was born 30 years ago today. i think a lot about what was and what can be is with copa, these old-time owners have a choice that could also

mr. richardson, former owner of the panthers was fined over $2 million thereafter. rtainly not suggesting it by any manner but they seem to say mr. goodell will punish mr. kraft to the fullest extent possible which looks like six games in $500,000. neil: the other added dramatic element here is besides the prostitution charges that they stem from an investigation into a human trafficking ring, so it's a little more involved than not. >> that's why instead of these three rings with a venn diagram, the most concerning at this point is the second in the court of public opinion. the wheels of justice are in play and will bear itself out in painstaking detail. the real concern is the court of public opinion. the op-ed writers take their swipe in the real danger that mr. kraft runs into it to be quite honest as they don't take control of the narrative. so many people use the term that it's become almost clichÉ. for those of us that work in public relations, taking control of the narrative is a proactive aggressive role to make sure the entire conversation and focus is on t

richardson, former u.s. ambassador to the united nations. mr. ambassador, my friend, good to see you.omfortable listening to mike pence make that speech and the welcome from president trump and then that deafening silence, as i was? that was just awkward. >> i was very uncomfortable. you know, the munich security conference i've attended. it's basically where the united states shines. we're the leaders of the european alliance, the european union comes together. we talk against russia. we talk against terrorism united. and, you know, to have fallen so low because we're against multilateralism, we're fighting them over iran, over how much we pay and how much they pay at nato. it was embarrassing. i'm concerned, because these are our main friends. >> yeah. >> these are our friends in europe. this is germany. this is france. this is great britain. angela merkel. you know, the alliance. and to be treated that way, to be booed or silenced -- it just hurts a bit. >> it sure does. you mentioned angela merkel. during the speech she gave, let's take a look at some video of ivanka trump's react

mr. barr will be. he has a reputation, a good reputation. he may not, as we write in our piece, be elliott richardson but he has a decent representation. having said that, he is not the president's lawyer and when it comes to mr. mueller's investigation, it is critically important, in my view, that the attorney general keep his hands off of that. >> steve rattner. >> but the horse has already left the barn. three democrats joined the republicans to confirm him. how or is there any way we could actually get the ideas you've espoused into action, to become part of how the attorney general operates going forward or is it too late? >> well, i don't think it's too late. it seems quite clear that mr. barr will become the next attorney general of the united states. however, the congress has a lot of power. and as we write in our piece, one of the porpg things that they need to do is to make it very clear that mueller's report, when it comes out, will be made public. this is what happened to us in the agnew case. when we were negotiating for a plea deal with vice president, one of the things that his lawyers
