i want to bring in his boss, rob -- robby mook who ran the clinton campaign. mr. for joining us tonight. >> my pleasure. >> let me ask you about this point glen was make about how frustrating it was to feel like you guys were describing this accurately, you were putting appropriate emphasis on what was going on here about the outrageousness and the unique nature of the fact that russia had interfered in the campaign but it just couldn't be heard. i know you well enough to know from our conversations on the air to know you were frustrated. looking back with a few months in hindsight do you feel like there's anything different you could have done? is there something you wish you could have changed about the way you handled it to make people understand better? >> it's a good question. i think we were frustrated because as glen said, when the story first came out in the "washington post" it was a one and done. i know when that first leak through wikileaks happened at the dnc i was on tv sunday morning trying to point to the fact this was the russians and part of a stra

robby mook joining us from washington, he ran the campaign.your colleagues on the campaign, she said on msnbc about the trump campaign and the russians, i believe that there was collusion. i believe that the trump staff, trump associates in some form, were at a minimum coordinating with wikileaks. in the timing of the leaks they were way too prepared. when wikileaks came out with their leak du jour in the morning the trump campaign was ready to go with their statement about that." she's saying her impression. what is your view on that point, what did you observe in that regard? there is a lot of connections to the trump campaign and russia that we need to fully understand. so yes, what jen is saying, i agree with. i think every american, whether they're a trump voter or a hillary voter, deserves the answer to this very, very important question and we need to get to the bottom of it. >> when you were seeing stuff happen in realtime, did you feel the wikileaks stuff that was happening and the trump campaign stuff, did it seem coordinated? did yo

this morning we had robby mook on.d that. my read from covering the campaign too is that robby mook was referring to briefings he received or other top officials received during the campaign because remember there were these questions about contact with the russians and he flat-out said on this program that there were wiretaps. and look, we know that as well from the "new york times" reporting and elsewhere. remember they reported on january 19th, january 20th, as donald trump was taking office some of the information being poured over by the intelligence community included wiretaps. so is donald trump right, that he was the target of it, or as robby mook was saying, i think the difference here mook was talking about wiretapping of russian agent but who got swept up in that? did donald trump, michael flynn, and others? who was talking to the russian agent and where are the legal lines. it likely will be investigated. >> if folks at home weren't watching here is what robby mook said about that. >> i think it is importan

we'll be back with glen caplin and robby mook right after this.here's no other way to say this. it's over. i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced. our senses awake. our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say...if you love something set it free. see you around, giulia could save money on car insurance.nce you know, the kind of driver who always buckles up... comes to a complete stop... and looks both ways, no matter what. because esurance believes that's the kind of driver who deserves to save money on car insurance. in fact, safe drivers who switch from geico to esurance could save hundreds. so if you switch to esurance, saving is a pretty safe bet. auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance. an allstate company. click or call. >>> we're back with more on our special report on russian interference in the flexion as it happened. we've been talking with glen caplin, a senior spokesperson for the clinton campaign. he got a very early very close look at the russian attack on demo

campaign chairman john podesta spoke about it, campaign director robby mook.ied to tell the story of the much -- of this unprecedented disturbing intrusion in our democracy and unfortunately -- >> didn't stick. >> the coverage tended -- was more about what was in the e-mails as opposed to why the e-mails existed, who is responsible for putting the e-mails into the public discourse and why and that was frustrating. >> and your job was to try to explain this to people in a way that would make them get it, it was just a completely unreceptive media environment. >> >> i think there are a couple lessons that need to be learned. i think political campaigns have a lesson to learn because this is not a theoretical threat, this is a real and present danger for every campaign going forward. this is something they have to deal with so political campaigns have to learn the lesson of how they protect their information going forward. the media needs to learn the lesson of how do you cover something like this when an adversarial foreign government wants you reporting on the

that does matter. >> that was my conversation with robby mook. still to come, republicans may get the supreme court justice they wanted but having backed a white house now under fbi investigation, do they have regrets? >>> and ahead of the high-stakes vote on trumpcare, the gop's last-ditch effort to throw money at the problem. more on that coming up. >> republicans took great delight and umbrage in attacking the back room deals -- most notely the one that came to be known as the cornhusker kick back which gave special treatment for medicaid payments to nebraska to get the vote of one democratic senator ben nellson. now republicans are outdoing democrats with a provision that will quite literally apply only to smaller upstate new york counties in order to get the votes of some upstate new york republican congressmen. those counties aren't happy the new york state funds medicate partially through property taxes. the new provision in the gop health care plan would exempt these counties from such a medicaid-related property tax. as vox notes "the am

. >>> joining me is robby mook, the campaign manager for hillary clinton and weathered the storm of hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server. when you hear the vice president say there's no comparison, what is your reaction to that? >> it's just not true briana. we hear those crowds he was so eager to whip up around this issue. he was doing the same thing himself. honestly i think this is symbol i can of that's going on with this administration at large, big promises to drain the swamp, bring jobs back to america, they have only -- the swamp is getting bigger. the lies that are heaping up certainly with the attorney general lying committing perjury during his confirmation hearing we find out mike pence was doing the same thing he was criticizing hillary clinton for >> why do you think it was the same thing? >> well, they were both using private e-mail. >> but she used a private server. she deleted e-mails or her aides did or lawyers did while she was under subpoena. >> and mike pence has refused to turnover some of his e-mails saying they're too sensitive. >> his office says they're

let's talk about the thing i was just talking to robby mook about. you have things to do in congress. you have a health care bill and a budget to deal with and you've got russia to deal with. that is a matter for you. by the way, your budget that you guys are being presented with shows a 29% reduction in state department funding. that's got to be of concern to you. >> yeah i think it's a nonstarter. as a military pilot i can tell you a 2,000-pound guided bomb is expensive. the unsung heroes of foreign policy, it's important to make sure they're well resourced in order for conflict prevention, so i think that will have a hard time getting any traction out here because they've been doing more with less for a long time. we're already under sequester in the first place. >> are you able to get a hearing when you tell people it's not an either/or game, it's not military or diplomacy, it can be both? >> i think so, but have you to be willing to explain it. you go to liberia, which i was in recently, and you see what the u.n. or state department is doing the

let's go to robby mook, former clinton campaign manager. robby, what didn't he say last night? >> well, i think as the panel has just said, what's stunning to me about this is that the speech was devoid of any specifics whatsoever. it was full of the same platitudes we heard on the campaign. but this is one of the first times we've seen donald trump be anything remotely close to well behaved. all of a sudden, you know, we're heaping praise on him because he wasn't abusive, he wasn't insulting, he wasn't erratic. you know, that wild temperament we're so used to didn't flame up. look, i think any patriotic person in our country wants our president to be successful. i certainly count myself in that group. but i think, you know, faung over him paying close attention to the teleprompter and delivering on the talking points he got is a little excessive at this point. let's look at what he's done. at every juncture his policies have been divisive. we haven't seen him deliver on the core promise, which was to make life better for working people. we heard him talk about cutting taxes fo

robbie mook will be here. and on defense, how is the white house responding tonight? >> all i can say is what i said before that we don't have information that represents those tweets. it's over. i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced. our senses awake. our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say...if you love something set it free. see you around, giulia with 9 lobster dishes.est is back try succulent new lobster mix & match or see how sweet a lobster lover's dream can be. there's something for everyone and everyone's invited. so come in soon. with e*trade you see things your way. ♪ ♪ you have access to the right information at the right moment. ♪ ♪ and when you filter out the noise, it's easy to turn your vision into action. ♪ ♪ it's your trade. e*trade. start trading today at etrade.com there'try phillips' fiberway to ggood gummies.. they're delicious... and a good source of fiber to help support regularity. mmm. these are good. nice work, phillips'! try phillips' fiber good gummies! >>> one of the lessons

back with me, robby mook, the former clinton campaign manager, and michael steele.ichael, let's start with you. the white house says there's absolutely nothing wrong here. is there, at the very least, a problem of appearances? >> i think that's exactly the point of this hearing. i think that this is not a totally unprecedented situation. president kennedy appointed his future brother-in-law, attorney general. president trump obviously has a great deal of confidence in mr. kushner, values his counsel. i think this is an opportunity for them to lay out the facts in an open hearing, get this out there and put it behind them. >> i'm a little confused because russia was such a big story around this time. it was a big story before that. it's been a big story since. what would be the strategy for a meeting -- more meetings with the russian ambassador given everything that was going on at the time. in addition, a meeting with a state-controlled bank that is under u.s. sanctions and the illusion, at the very least, that they could have been talking about lifting sanctions do

> one person saw his professional life rocked by what he said, former clinton campaign manager, robbie mook>> what do you make of the spot that comey is in, could refute the accusation against president obama, sure you will point out, fine commenting abut secretary clinton during the campaign. >> well, yeah, look, it is disappointing that we are seeing restraint now, we dent see restraint last year. i think what matters right now is where we go in the future. and -- the fact that director comey is in a bind, the fact this is made into a partisan issue on the hill and in the white house when it shouldn't be one at all, to me reinforces we need an independent, bipartisan commission to take this matter and, get it investigated and come back to us, and tell us what happened. >> it is interesting, regarding comey. until the campaign last year, the director of the fbi was not known as partisan lightning rod, served republican and democrat administrations. do you give him any benefit that his intentions were in the right place? >> i think he was trying to do the right thing. assume he was trying t

. >> he is right and former campaign manager robbie mook said some conversations were in fact wire tapped. watch this. >> you say there was a wiretap.w that there was a wiretap of russian agents and that those russian agents were communicating with trump staff that's why they were picked up. >> how do you know that? >> that's what the intelligence community has told us, that's what's been reported very widely, those are the facts. >> sean: you the american people deserve truthful answers. for example what did the clinton campaign know? when did they know t last time i said it was time for president trump to clean house. it hasas to happen. sean spicer this to say when asked about the obama deep state shadow government hold over. take a look. >> i think there's no question when you have eight years of one party in office that there are people who stay in government affiliated with, joined and continue to espouse the agenda of the previous administration. so i don't think it should come as any surprise that people that burrowed into government during eight years of the last administration,

john podesta, rob b robbie mook are giving false reports about -- >> you -- i read your complaint forthe department of justice. a little odd i have to say. you're saying the clinton campaign was targeting you in part because you're catholic and also because you're a man. >> you know, there's a very long list reasons why they were taking discriminatory action. it's hard to -- >> hate crimes and based on your religion and the fact that you were a male. >> you know, there is -- compared to that 35-page dodgy dossier, everything in my letter is factual and the difference between the two documents is there's a lot of additional evidence backing up all of my claims. i can -- >> campaign were catholic. >> well, you know, i don't want to get into specifics and discussions but there were definitely a lot of -- there's a lot of evidence and, you know, we can talk -- that's a longer discussion we can talk about. >> quickly the investigation. has anyone from the fbi or any intelligence service or any law enforcement service contacted you for an interview? have you given an interview or anyone fro

. >> robby mook was on this show a little while back and i asked him whether he thought secretary clintonin 2020. i actually think she's going to throw her hat back in the ring. i'm probably dead wrong. what do you think? >> i think hillary clinton is doing exactly what she should be doing, using her vy strong voice and her overwhelming popularity to help make sure we can continue to advance the dialogue -- >> but do you think she's got her eye on 2020? >> i think the last thing hillary clinton is thinking about right now is what she's doing in 2020. >> you think she doesn't have any interest in 2020? >> i think she has an interest in doing what she always has, that is to help make the world better and focus on making sure that government works to assist people in making their lives better and isn't an obstacle. >> nobody thinks she's going to run in 2020. i'm the only one that's apparently suspicious that she is. anyway, thank you very much for joining us. >> you're welcome. my pleasure. >>> and thank you for watching. i'll see you back here tomorrow night, 6:00 p.m. eastern. dvr if you

trump is lying, when he is really just repeating what the "new york times," "washington post," and robbie mook, hillary clinton's own campaign manager, ave said either in print or on national television. host: next to new jersey. josephine does not believe the president. hi, josephine. caller: good morning. i know everybody keeps reporting the "new york times" said this, well, i would appreciate it, pedro, if you would read the article, because it never says anything of this sort. the man, i've watched him for over 50 years, and he lies about his wealth. he's only worth $250 million. he lies about the president, where he says he's not a citizen. this man doesn't know the truth if he even stares it in the face. he's a habitual liar. and more important, this man is cutting the state department. the state department is the agency that keeps us out of war, so you know what direction he wants to go in, world war three, so long as his sons don't fight, your sons can go and fight, but nobody else. sad. very, very sad that we live in a time. and he idolizes andrew jackson. if he don't know history, pl

brian: a lot of that goes back to what the president tweeted out roughly on saturday and what robby mookpts members of the trump camp as well as russian officials to some level. >> well, i think it's inaccurate to say that the national security council is filled with partisans. i have think the national security council has proven itself over several descrations to be overwhelmingly full of career professionals who are providing the best support and analysis they can to the president. i also would just point out there are several different sources of i fbi, the nsa, the cia and several others. one of the things that's undeniable here, brian, is that the entire american intelligence community concluded that rushing shah did interfere in our last election. and i think it's in the best interest of our democracy to make sure that we take this seriously and that we take prompt action on a bipartisan basis against that intrusion into our election. brian: if you sense that democrats are making this a partisan effort or an attack on trump, will you come back on every outlet and say so? >> if i t

ed: robby mike forme mook ever e election crushing loss for him trying to come up with every excuse in say about hillary clinton's private email account in the last year. i think for people who supported donald trump, they really need to think about this. think about the kind of rhetoric and the things that mike pence said. and was he being honest about himself and about what he really thought about using a private email account when he said those things? pete: strikes me as not apple to apples when you are secretary of state using own home brewed sensitive information. it was not used exclusively in a private servener. abby: in his own home. pete: aol account. abby: started this whole other conversation about who uses aol. ed: my mom does. i said that's the real scandal for mike pence still using aol. guess who responds steve case goes on twitter he is one of the founders hey, be nice @ ed henry some of us still have affection for @ aol. #aol forever. i actually know steve case. terrific person. gives so much to charity. abby: does he still use aol though? pete: it's a status for some
