Trump campaign said he made to contribution to the campaign. trump tweets why does the mueller team have 13 hardened democrats, some big crooked hillary supporters and zero republicans? as joe points out, donald trump has easily contributed more to hillary clinton, chuck schumer, rahm emanuel, the dnc and dozens of other democrats than everyone on muellers team combined. and of course the president ignores that robert mueller is a republican and so are many of the officials he attacks, including...

It is critical he be allowed to complete a thorough investigation into russias interference in the 2016 election unimpeded. but there has been relative silence from republican leadership on the issue. it took house speaker paul ryan nearly a day and a half to issue a statement through a spokesperson that mueller and his team should be able to do their job. that he gave through a spokesperson. and senate majority leader mitch mcconnells office said they are not issuing a statement but pointed to ...

Office he said on saturday should not exist. >> mike barnacle. >> letss talk about the dynamic of the presidents legal representation, ty cobb, john dowd and the pending arrival of a third lawyer on the scene. how is that working out for a defense that becomes more critical seemingly with each hour of the day? >> well, im not sure how well its working out. ty cobbs job here is probably done in the sense that he was in charge of document production to mueller. the white house has largely complete...

Red line that he has discussed, about whether it is okay for mueller to look into his finances and what that means. he had said over the summer if he looked into his finances beyond russia it would be crossing this. and were told that the president really did not like the idea of this subpoena. it was something that bothered him. its not clear what he knew. hes also sort of uneasy about his lawyers at this time. hes considering bringing in emmitt flood, this veteran washington lawyer. he didnt t...

A lot longer. the president has someone in john dowd who is willing to say the things that the president maybe doesnt have the guts to go as far enough to say himself. he has jay se cue low, a big outspoken person for him on the conservative media and now its the thought of whether hell bring in emmitt flood, really sort of the most schooled and experienced and top lawyer that he could have in this situation to take over his defense if this thing were to get more intense and be more problematic....

Messages from this president going back now eight, nine months and so if jeff sessions looked at this and found he could make a determination in his own mind that this didnt count under the recusal, as he said. im not saying should or shouldnt, isnt really an arbitor here what says this counts, this doesnt. its a self-imposed decision on his part. he decided he would do this because he recognized if he didnt that would increase the presidents anger at him. >> look, watching the patterns of this ...
