the president's racist tweets are actually in trump world logical and easily explained. but the tweet that the president sent yesterday morning that appears to create more legal jeopardy for his son, donald trump jr. is a mystery when it comes to motivation. why did the president send that tweet tomorrow about his son's meeting with russians during the presidential campaign? why? we never ask that question about the racist tweets. by comparison, the president's racist tweets make perfect sense in trump world. it is trump's way of saying to racist voters, i am one of you. i, too, hate these black people. from barack obama, whose birth donald trump starting lying about in 2011, so his latest target lebron james. it is donald trump's willingness and eagerness to express those racist thoughts publically that so thrills donald trump's most racist supporters like former ku klux klan leader david duke. the fact that donald trump has been attacked on programs like this for seven years is part of the thrill for the hard-core racists who do support this president. in the past, the

and only one has tweeted in the way that president trump has. president obama, for example, his tweets -- it's hard to say whether they were even his personal statements, because he had a team. a team that would vet and review these before they went out. donald trump is giving us a direct line, it would appear, into his thoughts and his intent. only a few tweets we've seen are sometimes written by other people, ostensibly, by his attorney, has come out and said he's written donald trump's tweets. it's hard to say what evidentiary value they have, because he could call back on the notion, hey, those weren't exactly my words. but when you and i tweet, it can be taken as an ironic comment or something else. when the president tweets, it's the statement of the president of the united states. entirely different. one thing for sure, mueller is on top of all of these statements, and piecing them together into one giant jigsaw puzzle, to see, if taken together, the evidence of intent makes out the elements of a federal crime. >> danny cevallos, thank you

president trump tweeted today google search results for trump news shows only the viewing and reporting of fake news media. in other words, they haven't rigged for me and others so that almost all stories and news is bad. fake cnn is prominent. republican media is shut out. illegal? 96% of trump news is from national left-wing media. very dangerous. google and others are suppressing voices of conservatives and hiding information and news that is

if donald trump had tweeted that paul manafort is a disgrace to the usa. ald trump has tweeted that paul manafort is guilty. paul manafort's lawyers would have immediately moved for a mistrial, and the judge would have been forced to grant a mistrial and end the manafort prosecution. former federal prosecutor believes what she saw the president do today is nothing less than the crime of jury tampering. jill is back with us. and, jill, when you pointed this out to us today, i have to say i hadn't seen it myself. i hadn't thought about this as a direct interference with the manafort trial. >> well, because the jury isn't sequestered, they may see this. i know they're not supposed to watch the news or hear the news, but it's so all pervasive that i worry they might. i think the words that you just read are really a message to them in the same way i think the pardon was a message to witnesses you don't have to cooperate, don't worry about it. you can be in contempt of court and i'll pardon you. i think he's sending a message. he also in addition to the language

tweet storm. president trump taking to twitter it attack robert mueller's investigation, but one of his tweets may have created a legal nightmare for him and for his oldest son donald trump jr. that's not the only cause for panic. the president in an all-out effort to save a congressional seat, republicans have held on to for more than 30 years. >> to continue our incredible success we must elect more republicans and we must elect troy balderson. we have to elect troy. >> and high hope from a white house communications director. hope hicks spotted on board air force one this weekend. could she be plotting a return to donald trump's administration? but let's begin with that meeting at trump tower. that meeting donald trump jr. agreed to hoping he would get dirt on hillary clinton. that meeting the trumps admitted to after "the new york times" reported on it. well, today president trump's explanation of that meeting is changing once again. in july of 2017, the president via his son claimed it was about the adoption of russian children, adding there was no follow-up. well, fast forward to today and t

south africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers trumps tweet followed a segment on fox news that said south african government is now seizing land from white farmers truck calling it large scale killings really doesn't comport with the facts according to agra as say a group of hundreds of agricultural associations the killing of white farmers is actually at a twenty year low forty seven were killed last year at the peak of the violence in one thousand nine hundred eight one hundred fifty three were killed it is a sensitive topic because seventy two percent of land in south africa is in the hands of those farmers despite white people making it eight percent of the population that's why president cyril ramaphosa announced plans to allow the expropriation of land without compensation the government says it will now speed up land reform in a way that doesn't divide the nation the minute miller has been gauging the reaction from farmers and bella bell and popo province. the debate around london spoke ration without compensation is a very emotive one

this is what donald trump was up tweeting this morning. from vacation. "fake news reporting a complete fabrication" we don't need to read that part. "i'm concerned about the meeting my wonderful son donald had in trump tower. this was meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and it went nowhere. i do not know about it." let me bring in david jolly, former republican congressman from florida because what donald trump seems to be doing now is adopting the communications strategy of his television lawyer rudy giuliani because the line from republicans is that collusion is not a crime. so he's gone from no collusion to collusion is not a crime. i wonder how what we call the committee to defend the president reacts to a shift in the president's explanation to i did it but it isn't criminal to the meeting was about getting dirt on hillary clinton. >> sure, it's the final chapter in the gaslighting of the trump base and the republican party. you will see no reaction from the republican party in this case. joy, look at what happened from the histo

it only benefits the government and so when you start to see donald trump's tweets and statements about you're a good guy and he's treated unfairly which mirrors some of the statements he made about other people that he's pardoned, the writing is quite obviously on the wall. as to flynn and papadopoulos, we're starting to see a little bit more into the recesses of mueller's investigation, not the substance but some of the background stuff. first of all, papadopoulos apparently attempted to cooperate, but was unsuccessful because he didn't tell the truth. so he's wiped out. he's lower level so he's not as important. michael flynn's sentence being extended indicates there's still an ongoing investigation where robert mueller and the special counsel's office needs michael flynn and his potential testimony and that is significant because it means that there's very potentially more coming down the pike. >> remember, tom, we knew about manafort and his involvement long before we knew about michael cohen paying off these two women. there are a lot of americans sitting there thinking all they n

donald trump won here by eleven percentage points and he has just tweeted taking credit for what he was calling the victory of the republican in this case troy but by all accounts bulger's and should have won by a large margin typically republicans win here by ten fifteen or twenty percent and it's important to note that this is just. simply to fulfill the remainder. of the last congressman who left and that only goes until january so these two same candidates are going to match up in november for the following two years that start in january so even if o'connor can she has here he believes that he can win that race so what that means is that even though a lot of money has flowed into this district in the recent weeks mostly on the republican side you can expect money to come from both sides in the coming weeks because democrats want to win this seat and twenty two others so they can gain control of the u.s. house of representatives so even if denny o'connor is not a member of congress as of tomorrow morning all tallied. he is going to claim that he can win in november and that he shows
