actually king was not there, but robert kennedy, robert kennedy was a complicated guy. and on the one hand, he hated to be called a liberal and he hated to think that he was some squishy, soft sentimental guy, and he felt that blacks were not entitled to any kind of special treatment, and that he had grown up in a a household or civil rights have never been discussed and he sort of was proud of all of that. and yet he was very curious about what black america was thinking and he wanted to exchange ideas. he was open-minded in his own way. we met with james baldwin and asked james baldwin to organize a meeting where he could exchange ideas with black intellectuals. and baldwin arranged for several of them to meet at old man kennedy, joe kennedys apartment in manhattan, and lorraine hansberry was there, harry belafonte was there, various other members of the black intelligentsia were at this meeting. and it all started dumping on robert kennedy. robert kennedy thought he would go there and they would all sort of praise him for the kennedy administration was doing, and tri

they have to respect what's going on in robert mueller's investigation. of course, they don't want to ruin or, you know, harm the investigation. but there is no -- there's no logical reason why hearings couldn't be held. and under the constitution, that is what impeachment is. it isn't throwing donald trump out of office. it's allowing hearings where the public can start to understand the narrative of what was done, potentially to our election, to elect donald trump and what he did while in office. >> yeah, and as we're going to discuss later in the show, that's the way it worked in the nixon situation. congress was moving at the same speed, basically, as the special prosecutor. mimi, some fascinating elapsed times here in this case. yesterday buzzfeed reports that five hours went by -- five hours of silence from the white house after they disclosed their reporting to the white house, and they're asking for comment from the white house. and the white house does not say a word. donald trump had -- knew what buzzfeed was going to write for five hours. he di

that would be one way to describe people working on robert mueller's team. two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of this matter. identifying the sources that way might have been part of why the special counsel's office took the rare step of commenting on reporting like this. normally the special counsel's office doesn't say a word about investigative reporting like this. tonight's statement by the special counsel's office might be robert mueller's way of saying those two federal law enforcement officials don't work for me. they're not on my mueller team. the special counsel's statement disputes the, quote, characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office regarding michael cohen's congressional testimony. end quote. now, that seems to take direct issue with this paragraph of last night's buzzfeed report.

jonathan: do you agree with that, robert? mr. tipp: yeah, basically. the other aspect is the politics. trump wants to have something open, an open issue where he can modulate up, modulate down, and right now, the closed government is kind of weighing on sentiment. so all of a sudden, you see the china tensions ease up, all of a sudden. i think there's a balance going on. jonathan: market sentiment has improved, and we seem to be positioning increasingly so for stability globally, in global markets. you've seen the re-price of china, the re-price of asian high-yield. do you think that is the right approach early in 2019? and am i seeing anything more than a relief rally? is it underpinned by fundamentals? ms. jones: our view is this is a relief rally. if you find yourself overweight in some of these riskier sectors, this might be a time to lighten up, give you a window of opportunity. we had that big selloff late last year. we bounced back a little bit, but we are not really confident longer-term that we can sustain this level of valuation. jonathan: ar

what does robert mueller hear? >> i think it sounds like they are trying to minimize this deal, trying to minimize michael cohen's involvement in it. in other words, don't look here, folks, nothing to see her. but in fact it seems that robert mueller is really zeroing in on this transaction. michael cohen had already been convicted of eight felonies related to his work in new york with tax evasion and other things and it was facing plenty of time. he pleaded guilty to lying about the timing of the negotiations in trump tower moscow. that says that it is likely that michael cohen is going to be used to try to prosecute other people about this. i don't know if that's family members or trump himself, but look for this matter to come up again and for other people to be charged with this crime. >> i talked to a source close to rudy giuliani tonight and i said what's going on with him? he's always been scatter shot. but he seems more off than usual. and this source said that being this far inside the trump legal operatio

the latest reporting is robert mueller has more questions. so, are we at the point for robert mueller to subpoena president trump. >> that's an ultimate judgment for bob, bob mueller. i can't substitute myself for that. i will tell you this, knowing bob mueller, he will not be rushing into anything nor will he be fearful of doing whatever he thinks he needs to do professionally with integrity to get to the bottom of things. that's the same thing i would say about bill barr, with whom i served. bill barr is a person of complete integrity, who does indeed have very strong views which i share about the protection of the prerogatives of the presidency in our separation of powers system. congress has powers but so does the president. the founding generation warned us about constant intrusions about congress into the prerogatives of the president. that's really what the barr memorandum was about as i read the memo. >> since he called it in that 19 page memo, fatally misconceived, the obstruction of justice. if he says, yes, he will get out of rober

"it was a hoax," capital h. "and there was no obstruction of justice," couple of more capitals there. that is a setup and trap witch hunt. >> all we hear about is this phony russia witch hunt. that's all we hear about. >> in some ways he's a more remarkable figure in that he's still silent, in that he's still letting the legal machinations, the legal developments speak for what he has uncovered. and in that we still have no idea how the mueller investigation ends. >> i would defend our choice a
