jonathan allen, rick wilson, ron klein and joyce vance., counselor, is there a rabbit on the legal side that the democrats can pull out of the hat in the well of the senate, including but not limited to witnesses' tactics that perhaps we haven't thought of or isn't being discussed at this stage? >> you know, the real problem that the republicans have is that the time to come up with that defense is already passed. so when these allegations first surfaced, they should have come forward with the defense, whatever it was. anything that comes up this late in the game looks manufactured. and we've seen that happen along the path as trump began to try and float trial balloons like the fact that he withheld aid because the europeans weren't paying their fair share which, of course, is not true. or the defense that you previewed here, this sort of notion that he withheld aid because he was concerned about corruption, which, of course, flies in the face of the fact that in 2017 and 2018 trump gave aid there was no concern what joe biden did in ukra

so vance is trying to find out more about that. he's subpoenaed records.rump's legal team intervened in that case and they basically said there should be no state or local oversight of the president. the justice department memo says federal crimes shouldn't be prosecuted against the president. there's a crazy moment in the court where the judge said, well, could donald trump really shoot someone? if this is true, could donald trump shoot someone on fifth avenue? and trump's attorney came back and said yeah. >> and part of what's remarkable about the legal arguments being made here is that the strategy does seem delayed. it really does matter if people get to see some transparency of the president's business expenses before he stands for reelection again. and it seems a lot of this is k zioned to move the date as far in the future as possible. >> the president, from day one, has been fighting any kind of oversight, congressional subpoenas, fighting lawsuits, he's been fighting prosecutors offices and it does seem like what he is trying to do is throw up as

so if we look at the case in manhattan with the district attorney here, cy vance, vance is looking intode to stormy daniels which the trump organization we believe classified as legal expenses that may be -- that may constitute falsifying business records which is a criminal offense. cy vance trying to look into that trying to find out more about that. he's subpoenaed records from trump's accountant. trump's legal team intervened in that case and they basically said there should be no state or local oversight of the president. >> right. >> the justice department memo says that federal crimes can't be prosecuted against a president but they're saying state and local crimes so there's actually this crazy moment in the court where the judge said, well, could donald trump really shoot someone or if this is true, could donald trump shoot someone on 5th avenue, the famous example he once offered, and trump's attorney came back and essentially said, yeah. >> yeah, you couldn't investigate him. and part of what's remarkable about this sort of legal argument that's being meat here, noah, the str

jeff mason and joyce vance join me.ou were in the oval office during the press opportunity today. let's office today. >> well, that was on my list of questions and i tried to get it in. the president did not take too many questions today. i would say just looking at his mood, he did not seem super angry. it was interesting he emphasized a couple of different things during the remarks with us. it is bad for the country, impeachment but appears to be good for him politically. that shows some confidence on his part that he believes his polls number are going up and his fund raising have gone up dramatically for his campaign. he wanted to show he was working on other business when that vote happen happened. he said he was wrapping up the china trade deal during that vote. that was another part of his strategy to show while democrats are working on something he considers a sham, he's trying to show the country he's doing more important things. >> and joy vance, there is parnas that rudy was seen together with the president.

joyce vance is a former u.s. attorney. thank you for your time. happy holidays to you. >>> the fact that we have new evidence in the ukraine scandal, these heavily redacted emails between the white house and the pentagon about withholding military aid, and we have gotten it after the president has already been impeached, the drama is heightened by what's playing in the background. the articles of impeachment approved by the house haven't been sent to the senate. today was another day of attacks and recriminations on all sides as house speaker nancy pelosi continued to insist that she would hold onto those articles until the senate announces what kind of trial it has planned. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell called her position absurd, and the president weighed in with a crazy nancy tweet. but given that the impeachment articles do not appear to be leaving the house anytime soon and given that yet more evidence may come out in the weeks ahead, the standoff feels very unpredictable. what should we expect? joining us is congressman raja krish

joining us now voice vance. what a pleasure to see you again.nk you for joining us. >> good to be with you. >> is there anything you're looking for in the coming weeks as a sign the president may be getting ready to pardon either roger stone or mike flynn, both of whom are awaiting sentencing? >> you know, he has the legal ability to pardon them but i think what we're looking at here is more of a political question. typically presidents issue pardons late in their term often on the last day to avoidby political fall out and these pardons would potentially be so explosive i think we'll see them in the last week or last day of a trump term whatever that might be if he does go ahead with the pardons. >> trump's deputy campaign chair whose evidence was used against paul manafort, rick gates got sentenced to 45 days behind bars. not much of a sentence but the proscurts had said he should face no jail time given his cooperation with the government. what do you read into that, into the harsher ruling prosecutors were looking for as it relates to roger

attorney joyce vance who spent a quarter century as a federal prosecutor.ce, john durham, a standing u.s. attorney today commented on an ongoing matter, gave us a status report. is that something you did as a u.s. attorney enjoying the same rank as he has? and is that any better or worse than what comey did with hillary endearing him to so many democrats? >> so brian, that's not something that u.s. attorneys do. we don't comment on ongoing investigations except in very carefully enumerated situations. often we'll comment, for instance, on opening a civil rights matter so the community understands that doj is looking at it. but to make this sort of a comment, qualitative comment on the investigation to say his results are different than the inspector general's results and to talk about the fact that's due to his access to other kinds of witnesses is extremely unusual. it's extremely inappropriate, and i think you're right, we have to look at this sort of obvious comparison that will be drawn between what he did and what jim comey did. if there's one lesson w

the one case they excepted is predicated on the manhattan district attorney's cyrus vance jr.o get information from the trumpet information and the presidents accounting firm in regard to the payments to the stormy daniels and karen mcdougall during the election campaign. the federal district court in manhattan rejected the petition by the trump organization and of the president to say that they made its way to the second circuit court of appeals. it sided with the federal district court but now the supreme court is going to take that up. it's likely that they will take a cup of companion cases as well involving the house oversight committee as well as the financial committee in the house and the intelligence committee. they are all looking into various aspects of president trump's financial dealings with the trump organization. one of the committees wants information from his three oldest children, yvon cook, don jr., and eric as well. the central case is a manhattan district attorney who wanted financial records from the trump organization and aid years of tax returns from t

joyce vance joins us now along with glenn kirschner. both are msnbc contributors.oyce, i want to start with you. is there still a fairway for this to be a fair trial? >> we all understand as americans in the context of criminal trial what a fair process looks like. it doesn't mean that we do it in every case, but our system works because people believe that in most cases it functions with integrity. the senate takes an enormous risk, particularly these republican senators if they don't agree to fundamental basic processes that conform to americans' expectations of how trials should work including making important relevant fact witnesses available and allowing the evidence to be considered in a way that conforms with our sense of justice. >> glenn, i want to focus on this question of witnesses, there was sound early this morni morning. take a listen. >> every time donald trump refused to have witnesses come before the house, we still were able to find all this information so that we could get to the buoyant point. but all the people that donald trump has said that c

attorney joyce vance who spent 25 years as a federal prosecutor. welcome to all of you. beth, let me start with you. that's the president from a little bit more than about two weeks ago we're hearing there. we've been seeing him mainly on twitter the last couple of days, going after nancy pelosi in particular, very aggressive on there. the democrats, nancy pelosi included in declining for now to transmit these articles to the senate. one of the things we've been told is they basically think this can get under donald trump's skin, provoke a reaction in him that might give them leverage. is this the reaction they were looking for at all, or is this just par for the course from donald trump? >> yeah, he's making it very, very personal about nancy pelosi. there's no question about it. of course it is very much under his skin. he's been, you know -- you know, how many tweets? several dozen since the christmas vacation began. you know, specifically about this. it's very much bothering him. on top of that, this is all going to collide with the democrats getting under way really

i'm also joined by joyce vance, former u.s. attorney in the northern district of alabama. she's also an msnbc contributor. ms. jackson, i'll start with you. let's start with impeachment. it remains very much on the mind of the president apparently on this christmas eve. >> it sure does. you can tell by what he said in this pool spray over mar-a-lago. just down the road, hosted up at west palm beach. you saw the president engaged in cable news, watching fox news it seems, quoting or talking about different segments he heard related to impeachment and also related to the economy. it's clear the president is trying to get a message out that relates to the positive things he's done over the past year and will do over the next year. chief among them, focusing on economic numbers as the president so often does. the specter of impeachment yet hangs over this white house because there is still a holiday hiatus on any negotiations over a senate trial. the president has said today, as he has said all along, that he believes democrats have treated him unfairly. what i thought was int

also back with us former federal prosecutor joyce vance. to new york history i go right to you, joyce, on legality. obviously mr. giuliani is unbowed by this investigation as he continues. do you see legal problems for him here? >> this is incredible for so many reasons. giuliani is not a federal employee. he doesn't operate under any of the federal ethics laws. he's just off freelancing for the president in a foreign country, doing work we would normally expect maybe the justice department to be doing or some other legitimate government agency. so that i think is problematic. the source of giuliani's payment always has remained a mystery. we know from "the new york times" story today that the government didn't disclose any sort of free legal work, and yet he's not paying giuliani. so the question is who is? we know he was working with lev parnas who received at least a $1 million payment from russian sources, so there's a lot of murkiness there. the real question, though, ari, is would this justice department hold giuliani accountable for

. >>> joining me now for more on the legal implications of trump's actions, joyce vance, now an msnbc legal analyst. what are the legal implications here from what you gleaned from that "times" article and what eric and his colleagues revealed? >> well, this story is tremendously important, chris, not for the least of reasons because as you mention in opening the delay appears to be a friend for the democrats. you know, the truth has a habit of coming out. sometimes it takes time, but it appears here that now the truth is coming out maybe in drips, but it's starting to look more like a waterfall. and what jumps out from this story is that this meeting in the oval office between trump and some of the top leaders in government looks a lot more like an intervention than it looks like a meeting. and this is -- you know, this is a meeting that's familiar to any prosecutor who's ever done public corruption cases. you almost always see something like this, whether it's a governor or a mayor, there's a point at which their senior leaders, their senior advisers come and sit down in their offic

and vice president mondale and vance had been against it, and look, we can't let anybody who is dying of cancer stay out of the u.s. when he is going to need treatment here, and the president even then went the extra length and he wanted the state department doctors the give an opinion if he could be treated elsewhere. and two doctors said, probably not, and it turns out that he could have easily been treated in mexico by u.s.-trained doctors, but that is the precipitating factor, and carter said it in the beginning as the others said, okay, don't we have to admit it, and carter said, what are you going to ask me to do if they storm the embassy as they did in february, but this time they don't leave and take our diplomats as hostage. >> we will hear from president carter in his 1980 state of the union address. and now jim in churchland, maryland. go ahead. >> caller: good morning, c-span and good morning to the two guests. interesting chapter that you are discussing here, but to get to root of the problem, one has to go back to the beginning of the book, and the beginning of the histo

and cy vance resigned because he so sfrongly disagreed. it was not an easy decision for president carter to make. but i think he did what he thought given the person that president carter is, of such integrity and humanity, that he really saw this as a -- a humanity issue. >> thank you. >> one additional note for the live stream audience there is a revised link. can you type in questions .meet.ps/iran. yes, sir, in the second row. >> first off, just thank you so much for your incredible service and courage on behalf of our country. i understand that both of you after returning home ended up going back out, getting back into the foreign service, serving again in new places, some pretty difficult places even. can you talk a little bit about what that decision process was like? was that a difficult choice to make? and kind of why was it important to continue in your line of work. >> why don't you go ahead first. >> well in our case we thought we checked the box and it couldn't possibly happen again. of course i was evacuated from the ivory co

attorney joyce vance. good evening to both of you. joyce, taking the wider view that we get to do sometimes, what strikes you as an investigator at just how quick all of that happened and what it sets up as the judiciary prepares for these future hearings? >> i think that the speed with which this unfolded is one of the most interesting features of this entire process in front of the intelligence committee. you know, typically the president is quick to come up with aacy theory or a reason he should be held accountable. but here the pace of testimony was so quick, the drop of news every day of expanding detail was so fast that the president literally couldn't keep up. and i think that that's one of the smart parts of the process in front of the house intelligence committee, is that speed of process. >> yeah. you mentioned he couldn't keep up. a lot of us in news rooms and those of you who report with us were just amazed, mia, when the president was literally at the un. so we know from what he was doing that day he was too busy to confe

bring in reuters white house correspondent jeff mason, the hill senior writer scott wong and joyce vance. joyce, you heard the last question and what the representative was saying. how will this week be written about? how big a deal? it's what we've been tornado warninging about for how long here in the beltway. but for everyday americans, ma will this be written as? >> it feels very much like this is the week where the future of our democracy hangs in the balance. people haven't focused i don't think quite enough yet, richard, on that second article of impeachment which charges that the president in an unprecedented way has refused to comply with legal process, with subpoenas that have asked for documents and for witness testimony in this congressional oversight proceeding. and instead of providing some information and saying well, that's enough, we won't give you anymore, or at least negotiating in good faith, the president issued a blanket refusal to let congress have oversight of the executive branch. if that's the new rules of order going forward, then we are far closer to a society

joining us now is joyce vance, former u.s.ce, thank you so much for being here to help us sort through this filing. >> glad to be with you, rachel. >> so, originally, prosecutors did not seem bothered by the prospect that lev parnas was going to be on house arrest with an ankle monitor. to those of us that aren't lawyers, that seemed a little crazy, given with the way they arrested him, he was on a jetway on a oplane with a one-way tickt out of the country. now they're saying, oops, we were wrong. and among other things he had money coming in from places like rushy he lied to us about and that means we think he's a flight risk. tell us how unusual this is, if you've seen patterns like this in other cases. >> you know, i think that this is a pretty familiar pattern. initially, the prosecutors in southern district thought that they'd be able to work some sort of cooperation deal with parnas. that, i think, is why we saw those relatively modest conditions of release, given the fact that he was found, as you say, almost on the tar

. >>> we start this hour with our all-star panel, jonathan lemire from the associated press, joyce vance, u.s. attorney and kimberly atkins from wbrr, all three msnbc contributors. joyce, we know democrats will pursue articles of impeachment focussed on abuse of power and obstruction of congress. we don't yet know what those actual articles will look like. we likely won't know until the committee debates them later in the week. what details are porn for us to pay particular attention to? >> you know, as they say, geoff, the devil is always in the details. that's incredibly true when it comes to a charging document, whether it's an indictment or article of impeachment. the democrats have laid out the broad contours of the charges against the president, both the abuse and the obstruction. when we begin to see the exact language in the articles of impeachment, we'll learn more about the evidence they intend to present in the senate and the contours of the narrative that they'll try to take the american people who are ultimately the jury. it will be the senate that votes, but it's the americ

attorney joyce vance at the table. and nbc and nbc john heilemann. john heilemann, you were there. this seems more like a symbolic prospect than a vote-counting one. you've got to get to 20 republican senators to convict him. nobody thinks that's a possibility based on the politics as they are right now as we sit. but even one or two would symbolically sort of swipe at this white house on substance and on politics. >> i think, look, the reality is that that the white house is very focused on the number of republicans who vote for impeachment in the house and they're really focused on the number of republicans who would vote for convict trump in the senate. and anything that makes it not a party-line vote makes it harder for president trump to say it's a partisan witch hunt, it's all the democrats. and you remember republicans that break and the bigger the number on both sides, the worse it is for trump. they are going to spend a lot of time, effort, and energy over the next two months trying to keep those numbers as small as possible. it's possible now with the will hurd news from

attorney joyce vance. good evening to you.t do you think of obstructing congress as the second article and the choice not to get into something that our viewers know about that you testified to congress about, alleged obstruction in the mueller probe? >> so, i think that this is a very clever strategic move by the house. this second article of impeachment is drafted in a very narrow way. it applies only to the president's flat-out refusal to comply with subpoenas in the ukraine investigation. the facts are incontrovertible. republicans have not made any effort to say the president hasn't done this. so the question that republicans will have to face is, is this okay? is it okay for a president to refuse to let congress do its job? i think it puts them in a box in a very nice way. >> i want to read the only reference we could find -- i'm curious what you found -- that goes to something that came up from some of our experts in tonight's broad cast. when do you use a scheme or pattern to suggest things? the senate trial ultimately
