White House offers conflicting stories on firing Flynn for lies
Carol Leonnig, reporter for The Washington Post, talks with Rachel Maddow about what Donald Trump knew about Mike Flynn's lies to the FBI, when he knew it and who told him as different versions are being put forth by different players in the case.
Protesters out in droves objecting to Republican tax bill
Rachel Maddow looks at protests across the United States against the Republican tax bill, recognized widely as a giveaway to corporations and rich people at the expense of middle class Americans.
Trump team turns to specious legal arguments as pressure builds
Bob Bauer, former White House counsel, talks with Rachel Maddow about Donald Trump's legal jeopardy in the Russia scandal, and whether Trump has it within his power to make the Robert Mueller and the Trump Russia investigation go away.
Trump lawyers change defense on collusion and obstruction
Rachel Maddow points out that Donald Trump's lawyers' arguments about Trump's legal liability in the Russia scandal have changed from denying Trump's actions to excusing them as not illegal. Also noted is that Mike Pence's lies about Mike Flynn need a new explanation.
News gods signal busy holiday season
Rachel Maddow notes that the news in between Thanksgiving and Christmas can be quiet as audiences and newsmakers are distracted by the holidays. This year that does not appear to be the case, however.
