cuomo new york state governor andrew cuomo released an official statement regarding the refusal of vance to press charges against weinstein stating quote it is of great concern that sexual assault cases have not been pursued with full vigor of our criminal justice system but the investigation into possible wrongdoing by vance in the manhattan district attorney's office was quietly shut down in juneau this year by governor andrew cuomo but what makes this story true. blood boiling was that this week it was revealed by capitol in maine that just six days before quote was shut down the investigation he had received a campaign donation of twenty five thousand dollars from law firm of david boies of boies schiller and flexner the same boy is scholer and flexner that represented harvey weinstein from about two thousand and seven up until late two thousand and seventeen and had assisted weinstein in hiring private intelligence firm black cube to harass victims reporters looking into his many many many crimes against women committed by harvey weinstein so did cuomo get paid to look the other way

trump's not good at that. >> joyce vance is back with us.hat do you make of lindsey graham's half of a joke, as he calls it? >> it's actually not a very good joke or maybe the joke ends up being on someone in the trump fam male. because when senator graham is talking about collusion we know that the federal charge would really be conspiracy. and the ens of a conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit a criminal act. so it's really pretty simple. it could be as simple as the russians offering to provide election assistance and someone on the trump side saying if you say it's what it is, i love it. >> and from the graham defense is since donald trump is bad at everything, he is so bad at trying to commit a crime he can't commit a crime. >> they've been trotting this up as too disorganized to collude. what i was struck by as i went through it minute by minute is within hours of that dump the trump people had chosen their talking points. as chaotic as they were, they had seized on which e-mails to weaponinize, which to use t

may in that quote neither mr boies nor anyone from his firm ever discussed harvey weinstein or mr vance with mr cuomo or anyone from his office of the time mr boies a longtime supporter of mr cuomo and his contribution in june was consistent with his contributions to mr cuomo over the years past that's their argument saying hey it's just you know he does this all the time you're you know you're looking at coincidences and things of that made sure he would never do anything like this rural never give people care because people giving people campaign contributions are never never there to influence decision making by politicians nur. i never charge to advance about my client i never heard so despite the fact that i've given over two hundred thousand boys is given something like two hundred forty five thousand dollars over five or six years to cuomo and you're telling me what all this was going on while cuomo was standing on the backs of a women's movement in order to gain points in an election by saying i really care about these bad guys while he's doing that he quietly like it of a lot o

attorney joyce vance, former u.s. attorney and former senior fbi official chuck rosenberg. former u.s. attorney barbara -- i feel like we should launch a legal show today. and white house reporter jonathan la mere. chuck and joyce, we've been talking about the fact that cohen had likely done some sort of deal by thursday of last week. chuck, you said that his silence was deafening. joyce, you agreed the very next day. once again, you were both right. but tell me what it means that there is, according to "new york times" reporting, there is a plea deal for cohen, but it is not known or hooking as though there is not an agreement to cooperate. chuck, is that something that could come later or is this sort of cooked at this point? >> it's not fully koo y cooked. it can come later, but if the reporting is accurate, he's pleading straight up, meaning he's just saying essentially i did it, you got me. but he gets some credit for that, first off. second, he can get more credit if the government wants to hear his story and he wants to give it. so not precluded. but we'll have to wa

he is very interesting. >> and joyce vance, can i get you to weigh in on this?motive for organizing illegal donation like this? it seems like there would be an examination that you would be getting manage for your trouble. >> i think that's exactly right. this donation was organized through a strawman. that means that he took someone who was awfully eligible to make a donation or to purchase tickets from the inaugural committee, and then took the purchaser who is illegal, funneled his money, his funds to that straw person and had them make the donation. you don't go to all of that trouble if you don't expect to get something in return. and so that's the question we all have as we read this plea agreement. what were they trying to get in exchange for this donation to the trump inaugural committee? and who were they expecting to get it from? >> really interesting that it's especially someone who is russian. and chuck, to ken's other point, he pointed out that mueller is doing this, it's all very connected. but this was spun off into the district of columbia. that

and joyce vance, former u.s. attorney. eric, let me start with you. whether or not rick gates is going to testify. the week in court ended on friday. how do you feel? what's the likelihood here that rick gates is going to be called to the stand? how much back and forth on this was there? >> so, david, the last we heard from the government is that they doi do intend to call rick gates at some point this coming week. we don't know the day, don't know the time. but safe to assume he will there. >> joyce vance, how important is it that rick gates testify in this trial? >> in terms of testimony that the government needs to convict manafort, really they don't need to have gates at this point. the documents and the testimony from accountants has clearly indicated that manafort was heavily involved in the information that went into filings and signed off on the filings themselves. so not essential from an evidentiary point of view. but the jury may need to hear from gates for a sense of completeness, and so that's the decision that the government will have to

matt miller, joyce vance and eli stokel are all here. joyce, it sounds like people who know him best, people like the 20-year veterans of his company, are saying you're seeing what we've always known. it's not like some giant business that's well-run with controls and law-abiding employees. this is a slightly corrupt mom and pop operation. is that what's being revealed as the bright lights of the southern district and robert mueller's probe shines on it. >> the justice department seems determined to go after whatever criminality they can find in this investigation, and i think your point is a good one. sometimes businesses or anything that appears one way from the outside doesn't look quite the same when it's exposed to the harsh glare of the spotlight. it doesn't look like trump org is this fabulous business that trump has held it out to be. there is an interesting comment in this article that talks about trump testifying in a deposition and saying, the value of my business is whatever i say it is. so we may see that the emperor at the

joyce vance, let's start with you. during the course of your career as u.s. attorney, i mean, you welcomed and prompted a lot of people to say it at the expense of the u.s. government and various federal prisons. and so let me ask you, as u.s. attorney, what's going on when you have a guy on trial, in federal court in virginia, on tax charges, and he doesn't want to cut a deal apparently with the special prosecutor, bob mueller's office. yet at the same time the trial is ongoing, his lawyers apparently, it's reported, that he's trying to cut a deal on a second trial scheduled to start in a couple of weeks in september in the district of columbia. what would be the thinking there, according to your prosecutorial mind? >> so there's two possibilities here. one is, and it's just true of some defendants, no matter how good the government's evidence is against them, they don't want to plead guilty until they've heard that evidence come in in front of the jury. it's not a great strategy. it simply doesn't lead to an ability to cooperate or reduction in sentence, ty

and back with us, joyce vance.id, what do you suppose is going through the trump minds as they watch the collins case unfold? >> thank goodness daddy has the power of the pardon probably is their first thought. >> yes. >> which chris collins does not have. and i have been talking tonight to both republicans and democrats and business people up here in western new york where i live. and it is astonishing to hear how on both sides people really dislike chris collins and feel like he is getting his just deserves in this indictment. >> when i look at the collins case, the father, the congressman is the big fish. the son, it seems to me, is the place where the prosecutors would go and be willing, possibly, to make a deal for the son to testify against the father. then putting even more pressure on the father to possibly testify or reveal something about his relationship with the five other republican members of congress who he got to invest in this stock that he was charged with insider trading. >> yeah. you know, a lot

joyce vance, can you weigh in here on one thing that stuck out to us here at the show. when president trump was throwing out the possibility of who to pardon, he mentioned martha stewart and it would be for a similar crime. this is of course his first congressional ally in the congress. >> it is his first congressional ally in the congress, but i think it's so important for us to understand that the pardon power is not a power that presidents are meant to wield on behalf of their friends and families. the pardon power exists so that the chief executive in our government can do justice. for instance, during the obama administration when congress amended sentencing policies to treat people who had been convicted of crack cocaine offenses the same as folks who had been convicted as powder cocaine offenses, that sentencing change wasn't retroactive and so president obama used the pardon power to create fairness for all people who had been accused of those crimes, whether it was going forward or looking backwards. what we're contemplating here is very different. it's a presi

attorney and former msnbc contributor, joyce vance. i want to get you into the legality of taping something in the situation room. but first you were watching the tape of omarosa and shaking your head. please do tell us what you were thinking. >> i was thinking so many different things. one is actually i want -- i know she is your bff. but she says she's not the best vehicle for this, but some of the things she said on "meet the press" do ring true, like he can't grasp knowledge and information. he's challenged. but she's such a bad vehicle on it because the idea that omarosa didn't know that he was a racist and omarosa didn't know he was a bad person until the point where she was benefiting from it, right? and it's just, it's sad to see -- reality television has eaten our culture and now it's eaten our politics. >> michael steele, the difference between racial and racist, i mean she seemed to be kind of really struggling to make that distinction at first. >> it's silly, it is silly. you know, he's being racial. oh, okay. no, racist. j

i want to add to our discussion joyce vance who we call on for big legal questions. take a listen, senator warner likening this of an men -- enem list. take a look. this had an eery memory of an enemies list. these people were being singled out to have either their clearances revoked or in the process of being revoked to me smacks of nixonian type practices of trying to silence anyone who's criticizing this president. >> joyce, our experts thus far tonight have discussed why this looks bad. why it's petty. and why it is perhaps problematic for the national security interests of the united states. it is, of course, a higher bar than all of those things to get into whether this is the kind of thing that could be unconstitutional or illegal or that courts would get involved in. i wonder your analysis at that level. >> well, this is retaliation, pure and simple. not only does the president not try to hide it with some kind of window dressing, he just flatout acknowledges that it's retaliation. so it's very reminiscent of this controversy that we had over the firing of ji
