“There is no such thing as a former Russian intelligence official, a member of the GRU; but, you have to ask yourself the question and wonder: How much more can they pile – can the special prosecutor pile – on Manafort in order to get him to finally collapse and cooperate?” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of the New York Times political writer Nicholas Confessore during a conversation about the ongoing Russia investigation that continues to swirl around President Trump, following a new court filing that indicates special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation drew what appears to be its most direct line to date between President Trump's campaign and Russia.

“Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for Stormy Daniels, is doing to the president of the United States and the presidency exactly what Donald Trump did to nearly every Republican candidate during the primaries last year….The fact that the president of the United States has not really been able to release a public schedule of his activities during the course of the day for nearly a week now is astounding when you think about it,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle as the Morning Joe panel talks about President Donald J. Trump’s uncharacteristic silence about his legal battle with adult film star Daniels. Listen to more of the discussion here.

While the Morning Joe panel talks about President Donald Trump’s uncharacteristic silence amid his legal battle with adult film star Stormy Daniels and the flux within his own legal team, veteran columnist Mike Barnicle explains why Trump has had nothing on his daily schedule in recent days: “if a fire truck comes down the street, people cheer. If a cop car comes down the street, people get nervous. That police car is now parked outside the White House. The cops are not yet at the door, but…Dowd is gone, his principal lawyer. (POTUS) can't find another really top shelf lawyer to represent him. He's probably this morning looking at LegalZoom to try and figure out what to do in his defense. That’s why we don’t see him.” Listen to more of the discussion here.

While the Morning Joe panel remembers the late Zbigniew Brzezinski, the former national security adviser to President Jimmy Carter and father of co-host Mika Brzezinski, on what would have been his 90th birthday, veteran columnist Mike Barnicle explains: “Dr. Brzezinski— his every appearance here—was what I would call `value added'. And nowhere do we miss him more than in situations like occurred yesterday with the head of North Korea going to Beijing. The Chinese and the North Koreans sitting down, discussing multiple items that threaten the world. And the president of the United States apparently on the eve, allegedly, if a meeting is to take place with the head of North Korea. I would like to—love to— have known what Dr. Brzezinski surmises from what is happening right now all around us.” Listen to more of the conversation with Joe and Mika here.

Morning Joe veteran columnist Mike Barnicle and the panel discuss the significance of The Wall Street Journal editorial board’s “The Tale of Stormy Donald,” in which they say: “Mistakes of character tend to catch up with everyone, and that’s what is now happening with President Trump and his many women….Mr. Trump can’t retain the best legal counsel because no one wants a client who ignores all advice.” Listen in on the conversation about President Donald Trump’s legal battle with himself, and adult film star Stormy Daniels.

“It's really not funny anymore when you consider what's going on with the president, his legal team and his failure to...tweet about anybody he fears, and he really fears what's happening,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle to Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough during a conversation about President Donald Trump's uncharacteristic silence about his legal troubles.

Robert Gibbs, former White House press secretary to the Obama Administration, joins the Morning Joe panel where he’s asked repeatedly his opinion on what impact President Donald J. Trump is making on the office of Commander in Chief. "I'm wondering…what you think about the damage that's being done to the institution of the presidency today given that you worked for a presidency that was virtually scandal free, an exemplary person as president. And now we have nearly the opposite. What do you think about the damage that is being done to the institution?” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle. Listen to Gibbs answer here.

“There are arguably two great tracts that have been written throughout history. One is the Bible and the other is the Constitution of the United States of America. And America is an idea. It's not a democracy, it's not a republic before it is an idea. And the idea that 74 percent, according to the Monmouth University poll, believe there is a deep state run by a military, political, intellectual hierarchy apart from government is devastating. And this is the gift we have gotten from Donald Trump. This is the gift we have gotten from him surrendering to Vladimir Putin, Facebook and a series of events that have caused chaos in this country,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle as the Morning Joe panel analyzes a poll from Monmouth University that indicates that more Americans say they believe in the existence of a “deep state.” Listen to more of the discussion here with Mika Brzezinski, Carole Lee, Richard Haas and David Ignatius.

“This is an old story, and it gets to the root of human nature being so unpredictable, and the human nature element in this is that everyone, including a president of the United States, always gets nervous and a little frightened when the cops are about to knock on the door, and this is what's going on here. And Michael Schmidt, I would like to ask you, the disarray within the President's legal team, the chaos that has been created here, how much of it has to do with their apprehension about what might be about to happen?” asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of The New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt as the Morning Joe panel talks about President Donald Trump’s legal team being divided about whether or not POTUS should talk with special counsel Robert Mueller regarding the Russia probe. Listen to Schmidt’s response here.

“There's only one person in this administration,” says Morning Joe’s Mike Barnicle during the panel discussion with MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews and NBC News Capitol Hill correspondent Kasie Hunt about the chaos in the White House and Gary Cohn resigning as President Donald Trump’s top economic adviser. “We might be underestimating the amount of chaos that is there now compared to what it might be a month from now, six weeks from now — who knows.” Hear more of the conversation here.

As the Morning Joe discussion turns to how President Donald Trump’s tariffs plan will hurt Americans, veteran columnist Mike Barnicle explains: “Loss is the key word. These are the same people who when the economy crashed in 2008 and 2009, many of them lost their homes, they lost their 401ks (and) they lost their hope in this country. Many of these people also are the people who risk losing their sons and daughters in a war that's been going on for 16 years now. So, loss is the key, and loss triumphs over facts. Loss is emotion, loss is nostalgia, and loss sends people to the polls.” Listen to more of the discussion here.

“Emmet James Barnicle. He's a right-handed hitter. He's a plus-power hitter; five-tool player. He's already ranked number five in terms of upcoming prospects,” jokingly says veteran columnist and MSNBC Mike Barnicle as Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski congratulate Mike and celebrate the birth of the newest addition to the Barnicle family, grandson, Emmet James Barnicle, son of Nick and Meg.
