Particular case -- are you saying they were conspiring with the white house? >> what i know, anderson, is that the president very publicly demanded a result, and the office of the inspector general delivered that result. i know they struggled to do so. some of the documents we have been able to review in the last few months are clearly indicating that. but the president desired that i be gone before i could be eligible to retire. the office of the inspector general rushed to get that done on tim...

Been able to review in the last few months are clearly indicating that. but the president desired that i be gone before i could be eligible to retire. the office of the inspector general rushed to get that done on time. one of the many ways. >> essentially, youre saying they were doing the presidents bidding on this. >> do i think there was inappropriate command influence, political influence on the ultimate outcome? absolutely, i think that. >> you talk about a meeting with the gang of eight, t...

Trying to explain himself and explain thats hes only the lawyer for the president and not the lawyer for paul manafort so cant speak for anybody who worked on the trump campaign, but this is a huge distraction and potentially a perilous problem for the president. >> lets listen to what donald trump actually said about this. weve been making references to the president and what he said about his involvement in russia. lets listen to a bit of it. >> i have nothing to do with russia to the best of ...

Of being reelected. hes hunkered down. >> their campaign keeps on sending e-mails. >> well, they may do it to raise money and spending for trumps hotel. hes hunker down to keeping his base and keep the senate republicans on his team. he foresees impeachment is coming because he knows and mueller knows what he did and that scares the heck out of trump. the worse thing that people expect are probably the least thing that people will realize. this was like the "titanic" coming at the iceberg. i hav...

Beginning with flynn. they rushed in to interrogate him in the white house january of 2017. obviously, he ends up pleading guilty but he probably didnt know all that was going on with peter strzok. and so this thing just is not -- does not sit well with me. and i also have an issue as jimmy said with the department of justice. they fought us tooth and nail on everything pretty much. including this right here. why were they heavily redacting this portion. that was something that we were entitled ...
