joining us now, robert gibbs plus political strategist and former of the lincoln project, steve schmidti am so intrigued by this group of former trump folks, miles taylor, really taken on if role of chief troll of the white house. his twitter feed is a delight to people who have been making these arguments for four years. elizabeth newman w, who i have d on my program and makes the arguments against donald trump from the point of a christian. she quoted scripture yesterday in making the case against donald trump. and now olivia troye, who was a member of the trump/pence coronavirus task force and is telling tales about what animated donald trump and it was about his re-election and his press coverage. >> yeah, and i think they are voices that can be quite compelling. and i think they work particularly in states where you saw obama, obama/trump voters. you talk about how few undecided voters, a poll in iowa today showed the race tied with only 3% undecided, but it was a state that donald trump won by 9.5% in 2016. a voice like hers, i think, can be particularly compelling, especially sin

don't go anywhere. >>> robert gibbs and steve schmidt are with us. , pick up on what steve is talking about that today, the morning after, crickets from the republican party who saw the standard-bearer of one of the two major political parties do what steve schmidt just described, call the proud boys and all the white supremacists in that category to action to stand by and make abundantly clear that he doesn't plan to accept the results of the election. >> yeah, and look, i think the republicans have made it abundantly clear that over the course of the past several months, that they're simply not going to get out in front of donald trump on these things, regardless of what he does. last night, donald trump was asked to condemn a white supremacist group, as steve said, that's heavily armed. and he didn't condemn them, he called them to arms. i think the next 41 days of this election, right, 34 until election day and then at least one more week, maybe, are going to be some really dangerous, tense times in our country. i think every person has got to be

schmidt goes on to explain that had robert mueller's team demanded a longer and more detailed interview with john kelly, they might have gotten around to that story. but in their relatively short interview of him they didn't get to that, which might have helped him, which would have helped with whether or not firing comey was an obstruction of justice. i should tell you on the john kelly front, there is a moment in which john kelly describes something about trump as the equivalent of french kissing a chainsaw? and i couldn't explain all that part of it to you, but you're going to have to read the book for that one. michael schmidt also reports in this new book the backstory on how white house officials tried to stop jared kushner and the president's daughter ivanka from getting top-level security clearances because of some warning that turned up in the investigation into whether or not they should qualify for that kind of clearance. some sort of highly compartmented information that john kelly was briefed on, which led to a strong recommendation that jared kushner not receive a top-leve

schmidt was then first to reporter that trump had ordered special counsel robert mueller to be fired,g off when white house counsel don mcgahn threatened to quit. when we later learned that mcgahn, the white house counsel, had cooperated extensively with mueller's investigation, that too was reporting by mike schmidt. schmidt was first to report that in the days after james comey was fired, the fbi had opened an inquiry into whether or not president trump was secretly working as a russian agent. that was a michael schmidt byline too. schmidt was first to obtain the questions special counsel robert mueller wanted to ask of president trump. he was first to break the news that president trump had wants his justice department to prosecute political adversaries including hillary clinton and james comey. on top of story after story after story on the russia investigation, michael schmidt was also first to report that president trump had overruled national security officials in order to give son-in-law jared kushner top-secret security clearance. hide your secrets. hide your ice cream.

. >> we're learning in michael schmidt's book that robert mueller never actually fully investigated donald trump's relationship to russia. listen to what joe biden said today about donald trump and russia. >> never before has an american president played such a subservient role to a russian leader. it is not only dangerous, it is humiliating and embarrassing for the rest of the world to see. it weakens us. >> chairman schiff, are we any closer to understanding why donald trump is so subservient to putin? >> we have had to litigate all the way to the supreme court and now start over again because of the decision of the supreme court to get the deutsche bank records, to get the banking records to find out whether it is a financial entanglement that is guiding donald trump's policy. now, we know that he wanted to build this trump tower moscow, and that would have been the most lucrative deal of his life and we know he was lying about it during the 2016 campaign when he was saying he had no business dealings with russia. he has given every reason to believe he still wants to build that tower.

schmidt was the first to report that trump ordered robert mueller to be fired and only backing off whenreatened to quit. mcgahn cooperated extensively with mueller's investigation, that too was reporting by mike schmidt. in the days after james comey was fired, the fbi opened an inquiry into whether or not president trump was working as a russian agent. he was first to break the news that trump had wanted his justice department to prosecute political adversary including hillary clinton and james comey. on top of story after story on the russia investigation, michael schmidt was the first to report that is president trump over ruled national security officials in order to give son-in-law, jared kushner, top secret authority. now with this new book that he's got out tomorrow, he's breaking even more news. many revelations that the fact that no elements of the u.s. or including the fbi ever examined president trump's ties to russia including his financial ties. it is not that anybody looked into that. no one has ever looked and not the fbi or not mueller or the intelligence committees, no

robert: joining us tonight are three of washington's top reporters. asma khalid, political correspondent for national public radio. ashley parker, white house reporter for "the washington d post." chael schmidt, washington correspondent for the "new york times" and author of "dona trump vs. the united states: inside the struggle to stop a president." ashley, you've been reporting on recent days on the fallout o the woodward book. why does that february 7th remark matter by the president? what was he doing at that time? what was he not saying to the li american p >> the question is really what he wasn't doing and wha he wasn't saying, and it's a fascinating about 10-day window from -- which woodward recounts in his book from when robert o'brien goes into the ovalof ce and said the coronavirus is going to be the biggest nationalecurity crisis o your presidency to when trump tells bob woodward -- he conveys that he understands the severity. u heerstands that it is deadly. it is tricky. and that it is airborn in that period, he really does you not cvey that grim reality to the american public in words forer sta so they can begin preparing and figure out if they needks and if they have members of

investigation like the one we assumed, obviously, incorrectly, robert mueller had conducted, didn't happen. one of the revelations in mike schmidt's new book, but again, if you just take what's publicly facing, as claire pointed out, ron johnson's trying to launder russian disinformation through his committee, thing acting dhs secretary putting a squash on this information going to law enforcement, our silence, america's deafening silence around the poisoning with nerve agent of a russian dissident. what is, you know, same question to you about the fbi, what is the current state of morale and state of situational awareness of just how detrimental donald trump's public facing actions, we don't know what he does in private, are to our country's national security? >> yeah, we've gone -- my sources tell me we've gone from early on some eye-rolling and leave us alone, we're going to put our head down and do our job to just outright frustration. right now, people really considering what they've chosen to do for a living during this administration. i want to just talk about the counterintelligence issues here, because vladimir putin is s

michael schmidt, author of "donald trump versus the united states: inside the struggle to stop a president." thank you very much for being with us. michael, first of all, in june, ellen knight learned robertity adviser after disagree with her assessment brought in a politically appointed lawyer, a former aide to devin nunes to perform an additional classification review of the book. it's claimed he flagged passages that are clearly ambassador bolton's analysis or opinion about his personal recollection of events and failed to analyze whether the information he harked as classified was still classified and subject to redaction. that's really damning the white house for trying to cover up a very controversial book. >> at the most fundamental level, what this career archivist who was on the national security council who was there to work with former officials who were trying to write books, what this person, this woman, ms. knight describes is a highly irregular process where she had worked with bolton. they had come to agreements about what information would be not okay in the book and would be okay and then when the issue becomes red-hot politically in the middle of impeachment, the offici

. >> steve schmidt, you worked real closely with this sort of slice of the senior white house staff when you worked on the confirmations of justice robertsed with harriet meyers back in the day. but this group of conservatively smart lawyers is repelled by stupidity. i don't know how else to put it. what would you imagine that kind of conservative legal person thinks watching bill barr either willfully sound stupid or willfully sound like a sychophant for the president? >> if they have fidelity to the american experiment, to the american idea, to our ideals, to the rule of law, they are deeply, deeply worried about it. when they hear the officers of the country, the attorney general constantly lying, constantly asserting powers that are extrajudicial and extraconstitutional. and i think that anybody has fidelity to the constitution of the united states looks at the attorney general and is very deeply worried, worried about the constancy of the abuse of president trump's henchmen about the law and the abuse of law. >> thank you so much for spending time with us. >>> when we come back, the white house wants answers why the white house secu

robert mueller, but that mueller's team and others allowed us to think was. and that's namely that his ties to russia were not investigated. mike schmidt'sstein narrow thd probe at its outset, telling mueller to focus on crimes. pete strzok reports he has no deal with a counterintelligence investigation went on after he left, he left early in the probe, and andrew weissmann saying they had lying witnesses in manafort, that they were afraid of right-wing media, which was being fueled day in and day out by rudy giuliani's appearances. they had -- as frank just said, they handcuffed themselves by not using their powers to compel an interview with the president under oath, one with answers that were truthful, that he would be held account frbl, and it's not clear that they got their hands on his financial records. >> i think it is clear that they did not. and it is also now clear that they did not do a counterintelligence investigation. but even in a criminal investigation, you want the financials, you want the tax returns, you want to see whether an investigation into the trump campaign's contacts with russia includes any business or preced
