palmieri: that's good. that's really encouraging. we've learned some more pretty disturbing news about the president in the last 24 hours. [laughter] i haven't texted -- sen. klobuchar: we'll just go with the last 24 hours. ms. palmieri: you're on the judiciary committee, a former prosecutor. i know you supported a special prosecutor for russia as well as an independent commission. how are you thinking about processing the latest news as a senate democrat, where do you take this from here? sen. klobuchar: first on the latest news, i think it is really important if clearly there is a readout from that meeting and a transcript, there is probably a tape unless they had someone in there. so we need to get a hold of that. obviously, the classified information should be redacted. but when you have the president of the united states disclosing , allegedly, disclosing secret information, our function in the senate is oversight of intelligence agencies, oversight of judicial, the justice department. we need to get a hold of that. because one

well, said palmieri, jane was wearing pajamas when police arrived.n the laundry room they found her jeans rolled up in a towel tucked between the washer and dryer. her top was lying there as well, inside out. it looked like they had been removed quickly, stashed away. and when an officer tried to administer a gunshot residue kit to jane's hands, standard procedure in a shooting investigation -- >> when the officer doing the test began getting the test ready, she did go into the bathroom and either wash her hands or wipe her hands on a towel, one of the two, before coming back to the table and before the test was done. >> so odd things. anyway, police scoured the place, didn't see any murder weapon lying around. and they were about ready to take dave's body off to the morgue when some instinct told the lead detective to look here. he cracked open the doors of the grandfather clock in the dining room, looked down inside, and there it was. >> this is more than likely the murder weapon. >> a ruger six-shot revolver. surely no prowler would have dropped a

we spoke with frank palmieri at ike's crab cakes. he says this is the time, 100 days to make their living starts right now. >> we've had to start on the 13th for 26th year. we're young on 8th street, but we've been on the boards for a long time. every season's just getting better. >> reporter: i'm joined by my friends the seagulls. i think there are more seagulls here than people this hour. not too bad for 5:15 in the morning. this morning we're checking ocean city. a busy place here. next hour, what's the jersey shore without the sweet treats? it is breakfast time after all. we're checking out one of the breakfast hot spots in town. live on the boardwalk, matt delucia, nbc10 news. >> all right, a couple of friends out there. >>> today is your last chance to pose with rocky for the next two weeks. the area around the iconic statue at the base of the art museum will be closed for improvements starting tomorrow. the department of parks and rec is replacing paving and improving perimeter protection. >>> meanwhile, next month will mark t

so i would not expect that you would hear from her on this particular piece. >> jennifer palmieri, who again is decidedly not on capitol hill and seems too relaxed to be on capitol hill, thank you very much for being on our broadcast tonight. we sure appreciate it. >> my pleasure. thanks, brian. >> and with us now is richard painter. richard was chief white house ethics lawyer under president george w. bush. he is an msnbc analyst and our chief legal correspondent is here with us, and that's ari melber. good evening to you both. >> good evening, brian. >> richard, as a follower of yours on social media, i've wanted to have you on for so long. you basically pick one perceived ethics violation per day to highlight. often they are about business entanglements by members of the trump family. this will now be -- the story we're covering tonight -- its own huge distraction from what you are usually talking about, and that's the business side. >> well, there have been a lot of problems, and some days we've had more than one. this is a tragedy, what's happening right now. the russia investigat

joining me is tara palmieri and also joining us on the phone, john allen, editor of "the crux" and authorancis miracle." thanks to both of you for being here. there are reports that the pontiff left quite an impression on the president and that the topics of terrorism, the paris accord came up. john, when the president clearly said to the pontiff that what he had said made a big impact on him, what do you think that could have been? >> well, i think actually from president trump's point of view, this meeting probably went about as well as he could have envisioned. frankly, if he had scribbled out the outcome on a cocktail napkin with a pen, which would be in character for this president, i don't think you could have envisioned a better outcome. first of all, the chemistry between the two men, particularly towards the end of the meeting, was obviously quite warm. secondly, if you look at the statements that the vatican put out afterwards, there was a deliberate effort to play down issues of contention and to play up the issues where pope francis and president trump might be able to find co

to discuss, former congressman jack kingston, former white house communications director jennifer palmieri jason candor. what do you make, jennifer, your reaction to sean spicer putting this positive spin on the president's first foreign trip. >> it was really chilling to hear because that wasn't spin. that was propaganda. and it was quite obvious it was written by donald trump and it was written for the listening pleasure of donald trump. this is -- that was not, you know, there will be times when i worked for president obama and president clinton where before you talk to the press you go into the oval office to get their take on something or be able to say i spoke with the president and he thinks this. but this is clearly written. no staff person would say this over-the-top propaganda. it was written by the president. and that's not -- that's not the actions of a stable -- of a stable president. and i find it really scary. chilling. >> what do you say to that, jack? >> i think that's ridiculous. i think it was one of the most successful first presidential trips in the history of the unit

thank you.

. >>> let's bring on jennifer palmieri, former hillary clinton campaign communications director, decidedly not on capitol hill. also a former white house communications director under president obama. >> true. >> jennifer, thank you for coming on. and your emotions i'm imagining are more complicated. so your boss of lock her up fame is cited in a three-page letter by the deputy attorney general. comey was so mean to hillary clinton, it's the underpinning for comey's dismissal. what do you make of all of it? >> it is -- i found it stunning when i first -- when i first heard the news. but my -- my mind immediately went to that trump's motivation must be about his own skpregs the investigation of his connections to russia. i noticed about a month ago when sean spicer got asked about paul manafort and russia and he said manafort was somebody who had been the compare of the campaign but i believe he referred to him as somebody who worked for trump for a few weeks. i thought then i bet they are getting rumors down from justice that people are going to get indicted in the russia investigation. an

joining me at the table, jen palmieri. eli stokols, reporter for the "wall street journal." michael allen, special assistant to president george w. bush, reminding me what a pill i was in some meetings. joins me today with his great perspective. eli, i want to start with you, though, because this question of legal jeopardy is a real one. i mean, michael and i worked in a white house staff that came under investigation from special prosecutor pat fitzgerald looking into the leak of valerie plame's name and i didn't have clearance at the time that her name was disclosed so i was never wrapped up in it, but i ended up handling all the press around it because i wasn't. what is it doing to this white house -- i can't imagine this white house more paralyzed but is this serious legal question hanging over them? is it creating more paralysis? >> yeah, they seem spooked, just watchi ining sean spicer the la couple days, he doesn't want to answer questions or say anything referring reporters to we'll find out when the president says what he's going to do with the fbi director, refer t

jennifer palmieri, for the presidential campaign. jennifer, this must be an amazingly cathartic moment to watch what it looks like the went an election. here's party maybe committing suicide in many cases, because the members of congress are doing what the president wants them to do. not necessarily what the people at home will be happy they did. >> i can't recall watching more destructive act in politics. i also worked for president clinton in 1993 and president obama during health care. and in both cases, while people took difficult votes, there was a plan to get both the '93 bill and health care through senate. i don't see a plan on the republican side to do that with trump care a. and at a minimum, we know that these house members have taken a very dangerous vote that will be destructive to people's lives if it became law. the best case is that the senate spends many, many, many months talking about health care. when i worked for president obama, a big problem for him was people were frustrated that it was taking so much time. th

jen palmieri, i keep coming to you because -- >> i to havedo have a certain s skills. >> what do yous? it's not just -- i'm not sure donald trump is too capable of covering up much of anything. he can't resist the impulse to live out loud. i wonder if this means there's someone on the white house staff in serious legal jeopardy. >> i think there probably is. here's what we know. we know the president had at least on three occasion s soug out the company of jim comey for the purposes of trying to -- >> winning him over. >> winning him over and trying to get him to back down on the investigation. so that seems to be an endeavoring to cover up or at least obstruct that investigation. and there are probably staff that in ways witting and not aided that. so it is -- but it's not -- sometimes people say, i remember roger stone last week said they should have an -- this would be great if they had a special counsel because then you put the investigation goes into a box. you knows, i understand this, we would use this in the different white houses to say, like, well, i can't answer your quest

you think of jim palmieri and all those folks who hold comey so accountable for their defeat and for the timing the way -- however, he has confirmed in recent weeks that the bureau is investigating donald trump's ties to russia. an issue of grave concern, not just to democrats and former members of clinton campaign, because it was the point they were making. >> an exostential threat to the administration. >> an exostential threat to the country. there might be people in donald trump's orbit colluding with russia. i'm open to a legal analysis that says this was cut it and dry, but i think the politics are messy, it's like pulling apart a spyder web without breaking it. >> ari, we have talked about his manner and television viewers, all of us, are left to just look at this guy and size him is up. he has seemed so burdened at times by his own innate goodness and honesty and sense of right and duty, he's almost like a character out of the untouchables. but some people are saying, and it was so interesting to hear greta, that all of that -- most of that was done out of step, out of turn.

. >> please welcome to the stage jennifer palmieri. >> thank you. i want to thank mr.han for coming. he is the living embodiment of what it means to be an american citizen. and i think he inspires each of us to be better stewards of our citizenship. i'm very honored and privileged to be introducing governor terry mcauliffe. he is the living embodiment of optimism. can we all agree? absolutely. and for him, that optimistic spirit is at the heart of what it means to be a progressive. he has been in the fight for a long time. and he's had a lot of different positions. and i was privileged to work for him when he was the chair of our party. and i have seen that with each job he approaches it, the same formula. first he listens to the people he's going to serve. he sets very bold goals. he puts a good team together. and then he works his heart out every single day to deliver. it is a formula that has brought him success with each endeavor that he has undertaken and all the positions he's undertaken as a progressive. as governor of virginia, you know, particularly these last
