surprise that they have been looking into paul manafort's dealings, and it's certainly not a surprise they're looking into the white house meetings involving jim>> you're talking about paul manafort's dealings, much of the focus seemed to be on financial dealings by paul manafort, potentially going back a decade, predating his involvement in the campaign. predating the whole campaign in fact. would you be satisfied with an investigation that ends up charging paul manafort for breaking laws years ago, but doesn't shed any new light on possible campaign collusion? >> you know, john, i'm a former prosecutor. and i believe that you get satisfied when you get at the truth. and so whatever bob mueller comes out with, as long as i believe that he has gone into things with great detail and looked everywhere that he should look, then that's fine. i'm not going to presuppose what he's going to find here or who he's going to find violated the law, but i do think these reports that they're looking into the firings are interesting just because you look at the comey firing, i was law school classmate and a friend of james comey. look at what happened here,

my point is this, though, jim, paul ryan can't control his on caucus. mr. been able to get 50.5 percentages and said i'm going to get something done. he dealt with the democrats all pr and the democrats pmt sfrm but for americans, they've going to be get rid some pretty complex issues. based on everything i've seen when working with the guy they consider kryptonite. the on way it would work is if he really moved radically to the far left, which i don't think he's prepared to do. so, yes, it works in the short term. it might work in dark an. if you have all party rule, to me you're still in a much better position figuring out do you leverage the fact that you put the whole stinking government and you were put there with mandate to change government. >> they don't control the -- they don't control entire government. >> they control a big ol' check of it. >> because i did sfwrrj sfwrrj it's not mitch mcconnell's fault the world is changed in. snm in at this one. 12 pmt nncht dprmt that's just the political reality in washington, d.c. still heart on nchblt staf

and the author jim rutenberg break i think we're going here the whole time i didn't know it was a good or bad as he has praise for the period when we commit valuables and paul and what we're seeing as. the russian media for foreign audiences who hired professionals from b.b.c. and radio. europe well jim rutenberg if you read the american press all the time you will see that american press that record in rio was to do with the russian government and most peaceful putin all the bad warlords that you are now using forty so maybe in a few years i'm sure he's going to have a few words of praise for us and and the game he will sign and i'm going to a perfect example of projecting your values onto a foreign planet of completion of this is what mistakes did he find that will be a story of a girl of russian origin even in germany who first said that she was raped then she and this is a story that originated with german media local media was picked up by a russian language television network and they believe mistakenly picked up their story ok yes in january two thousand and sixteen which means almost two years ago they quote and find better accusations against us we

you have the jim jordans and mark meadows and people in the senate. lou: and paul> you have got troops in the senate and house who want to do this. i talk to them on a daily basis. i was meeting with steve king from iowa yesterday on this very topic. it's not that you don't have members who understand this. you have a leadership layer who just don't want to do their job. that's the problem. so it's a political will issue. not a legislative issue or legal issue. lou: it's a deep state issue. they have been bought lock, stock and barrel and they are not serving the interests of the nation. >> the leadership is deep state guys. that's the issue. lou: up next. crooked hillary clinton comparing donald trump to vladimir putin. what is wrong with this woman? we'll take up her latest, bizarre -- i would call it eccentric. i would call it deeply, deeply troubling manifestation of something very wrong. you know who likes to be in control? this guy. check it out! self-appendectomy! oh, that's really attached. that's why i rent from national. where i get the control to choose

the tap we're finding out about is paul manafort who did have a residence in trump tower at that time jimcomey would have known about this, is our understanding. he testified to congress he has into information that supports those tweets. you would have had to have all the way to the department of justice, someone sign off on this request. they said earlier this month, they had no records as explained by the president. do you think the president in some way, had a point here in his original tweet? >> not that we know of, and certainly have jeff sessions report to the public that there was nothing to this claim, nothing to these tweets, that's pretty conclusive information, i think if the president had been caught in an intercept, it's likely jeff sessions would have had much more of a caveated description in weighing in on those tweets. >> if the president had been picked up, paul manafort being the one wiretapped, we know he had conversations with the president. your interpretation is given how definitively they said that tweet was not true. you do not believe a presidential conversation

paul ryan? >> congressman jordan: what one story said mark meadows and jim jordan met with the speaker, that's hardly news. we meet with the speaker every single week. no one is talking about changing the leadership, but we are talking about is just what i said. what was the november 8th, let's get that done. >> chris: i'm not pushing you to do so, but you're saying you offered ideas, you wanted to stay in session in august to come up with a solid, serious plan to type raising the debt limit to spending cuts, the house and senate leadership of your party didn't come up with that. >> congressman jordan: and that was a mistake. in hindsight -- it wasn't ours because we called for -- leadership makes the schedule, not jim jordan. we should have stayed here. i think if you ask the american people should we stay here and get done what you sent is here to get done i think it would overwhelmingly say heck yes you should and the fact that you didn't, the longest nonelection year break in over a decade, that's really what we are supposed to be doing when we are trying to up critical things done at a time when

paul manafort. blake burman. what do you have? reporter: director of intelligence jimlapper saying possible, possible, that a wiretap may have picked up a conversation between president trump an paul manafort. right off the top let's point out it is unclear when this possibility could have happened but clapper was responding to a cnn report that manafort was wiretapped before and after the 2016 election. according that report the first wiretap dates back to an investigation in 2014 looking at workman that for the did for ukraine's working ruling party and second one, this is likely relative to clapper's comment, was granted by fisa court last year possible ties of trump campaign, some members of the trump campaign and russian operatives. man that for the was officially brought into the campaign in march of 2016, elevated to the chairmanship role a couple months after that, and left in august of 2016. listen here to clapper on that possibility. >> is it possible the president was picked up in a conversation with paul manafort? >> it's certainly conceivable, yeah -- >> i

jim comey and michael flynn. plus "the washington post" is reporting paul manafort offered to give private briefings to a russianlionaire tied to the kremlin during the presidential campaign. a lot to discuss with our panel. kirsten, any notion that the president isn't under investigation if this story turns out to be accurate and all sources say it is, it appears he's under investigation. >> it's very specific to see what he was doing in terms of whether or not he was trying to obstruct any investigations, whether there was investigations by the fbi into flynn or whether it was the investigation being done by comey. so it's pretty clear they want to know the back story on documents, what was going on with donald trump specifically. >> jason, kofgt "the washington post," they requested 13 investigative coreategories. that's a pretty broad investigation. >> but we have to be smart consumer of news here. for all the breaking news could i rons and the hubbub of developments from today, there's still nothing at this point that says president trump did anything wrong. there's still nothing that says the campaign coor

paul manafort has an apartment in trump tower. federal official were allegedly listening to conversations at trump tower. some of those conversations allegedly involving donald trump. jimomey and james clapper denied this. was trump telling the truth? food stamp usage has declined every month since donald trump was elected president. it has declined by 1.3 million. keith ellison triggered outrage when he compared illegal immigrants living in the united states to jews in nazi germany. >> if you ask yourself what would happen if i was a gentile in 1941 if my jewish neighbors were under attack. would i give them sanctuary? what would you do? would you pass that moral test? jesse: earlier this month he compared trump to king george iii. he compared the country to a dictatorship and suggested there should be a separate country tore black people. a high school in fulsome warned students they can no longer chant "usa" during sporting events. remember when a muslim man in oklahoma behead his coworker? the obama administration said it wasn't terrorism. the jury just heard a tape saying he doesn't like white people and he doesn't regret beheading his coworker. and he posted shar

paul manafort. the special counsel's effort is just one of multiple investigations on russian meddling in the election. joining me is jim himes of the house intelligence committee. this spans 11 years? >> good evening, anderson. it's hard to know and it's important that people understand that there's very little communications actually between the work that robert mueller is doing, which could be far ranging. those of us who remember the clinton administration, there was a land deal in arkansas t. t so it's hard to know where that could go. we don't talk to bob mueller all that much, but what i can tell you is the sheer volume of activity and we've seen it in the press. cnn has broken some of this, the purported picking of the lock and all those stories outer there suggest there's a huge amount of work on paul manafort. from my standpoint, manafort is one of the nextuss. done jr. with the meeting with russians, and you know now manafort is a guy who worked for a president from khaukraine. >> when you see the things being used by must recall's team and the fbi, according to the cnn's reporting, going in with guns draw yo

>> jim clapper saying last night that it's possible that a wiretap might have picked up a conversation between president trump and paul it's very important to point off the top here, it's unclear at this point as to when this possibly could have occurred. but clapper was responding to a cnn report that said manafort had been wiretapped before and after the 2016 election. according to that report, the first wiretap dates back to an investigation that started in 2014 looking at work manafort did. and the second one, that warrant was granted by the secret fisa court last year as a part of an investigation into possible ties between trump campaign aides and russian operatives. manafort was brought in in march of 2016, elevated to the campaign chairman a couple months after that and then he left the campaign in mid august. here was clapper last night on cnn talking about that possibility. >> is it possible the president was picked up in a conversation with paul manafort? it's certainly conceivable. >> is it likely? >> i can't say. i wouldn't want to go there. but i will say it's possible. >> neil, clapper served under the

jim comey and national security advisor michael flynn. mueller is also looking closely at former campaign chairman paul manafort who we now know offered privateriefings on the campaign to a russian billionaire with very close ties to the kremlin. his spokesman confirmed the offer to nbc news, but said manafort did nothing wrong. i need to bring in a fantastic panel today. shannon pettypiece, steve kornacki, msnbc's national political correspondent, and elise jordan, an msnbc analyst, "time" magazine columnist and former advisor to senator rand paul. shannon, you're on remote so we'll let you go first. let's start with what we have learned about the mueller investigation. a lot of new details about what he is looking at. this isn't just the campaign and russian meddling, this is president trump. >> steph, this was really only a matter of time. we've known that mueller was interested in the comey firing, we know he's been interested in michael flynn and we know he's been interested in the statement that don junior made about this trump tower meeting. this was an investigation that should have been a campaign-related investigation, should have s

paul telling politico, his main concern is compliance, and if sooirn complying, the u.s. should stay in it, schumer echoing that view, jim. >> athena jones, thank you very much. let's get more on this with eric of california, a member of the intelligence committee and congressman, what do you make of the president's announcement today, far more serious tone coming from the president than when he was talking about rocket man at the u.n. >> a broken clock is right twice a day, we need this president to be right every hour. you miss an opportunity to convene the chinese, the japanese, and the south koreans and show that we are united. despite differences in other areas. against north korea. i also fear that his rhetoric around iran shows north korea's leader what happens when you strike a nuclear agreement with the united states if we're willing to walk away? and so, this erratic policy from, you know -- i would say, these bar stool threats to then, you know, show him that we can impose sanctions. needs to be more consistent. >> what about this optimistic tone you heard from the president today that the chinese are finally

paul manafort. he wants records related to that trump tower meeting set up by done junior. then there's the firing of fbi director jim comey. mueller wants all documents related to meetings between trump and coatroom and records of any discussions about comey's firing. and records about the statement sean spicer made the night comey was fired. he also wants information on that oval office meeting with the two russians the next day. the one where trump reportedly called comey a nutjob in front of the visitors and said firing him had relieved great pressure on him. perhaps the most sobering note in all of today's coverage is this quote in the "washington post" from a government official about the power and staying power of mueller's sweeping effort. quote, i am convinced that no matter where they end up, this investigation will run to completion even if they fire mueller. there is a feeling of inevitable now that we didn't have before, not of the outcome of the investigation, but that there will be an outcome. there is no escaping this thing, whatever the conclusions. let's bring in our lead-off panel tonight. ashley p
