Page 8 - Aattacking Mueller News Today

Wait a minute, i dont want to go down this path. >> it does not seem like a good direction to go here. either hes using cohen for the reason of president trump was which was really bad or having conversations that he does not want throughout and any understanding is cohen used to regularly record conversations with journalist, i would call him a journalist. he pretends to be one on tv. the other thing thats remarkable of all of this is trump has the mightest touch but it is for legal problems, h...

He has an extreme amount of autonomy, which might be great for him but i dont think it great for viewers. he goes on and gives rants every night attacking mueller and the fbi, anybody who thinks is trumps enemy, doesnt seem to have much oversight or much in the way of standards. now that we know about the cohen raid and this legal relationship, its even more curious and more controversial. i know fox is trying to put a stop to this by expressing support for him but i think it going to continue t...

Want throughout and any understanding is cohen used to regularly record conversations with journalist, i would call him a journalist. he pretends to be one on tv. the other thing thats remarkable of all of this is trump has the mightiest touch but it is for legal problems, his campaign is a mess and the right wing media is getting pulled into this. my question is whos not pulled into these legal problems. in 20 or 30 years >> are hannity and his kids are going to be proud of the way he handle th...

Thats key. >> i thought -- >> i thought president trumps voice was going to km out of sanders mouth at some point. that was a bit much from the press room. >> wait a second. just go back to -- when you say most rg republicans have stood up. jeff flake stood up. there are a couple of others. where is paul ryan? >> whats interesting. >> there is a whole bunch. >> some have begun to in the last week or two. and they i marking up the bipartisan bill this we can. lets see what happens. the majority o...

2003 that he was classified for an eye issue but he also said i think you have to think very seriously about since you did not serve particularly at a time of war whether or not you should ever seek public office. when you didnt serve, when you had a chance to serve. also consider the ethics of the people who were attacking mueller, other people. sean hannity who kept pushing seth rich conspiracies after his parents and loved ones were begging him to stop making the immeasurable pain that family...

House and trump are attacking mueller. mueller has to consult with the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein who works for trump by the way. once theres something outside of his jurisdiction which this would be he has to consult with the deputy attorney general. then he decides do i send this to the manhattan attorney general office or keep it within the special counsel. here he sent it outside. then what has to happen is they have to go to a special unit in the justice department because a law...

Sense of how difficult this is, the attorney/client privilege is whats at stake. so when the fbi goes in and gets all this information, the bank records, the documents from michael cohens office, they have to be concerned about them. there are two teams being involve to make sure any information given over to the visitors doesnt violate that attorney/client privilege. i want to note that paul manafort is the only other person where weve seen search warrants, knocks on the doors from the fbi. doc...

That get made and remade. i think whats underlying the substantive question thats been underlying all the turmoil for the legal staff in the last few weeks is that the president finally decided he wanted to discard the advice hes been taking the last year which is to not attack bob mueller directly. that is what the legal team had insisted over months and months and months. dont attack mueller directly because that will antagonize him. you can say whatever else you want, but dont attack him dire...

Lawyer in the russian investigation, john dowd quitting today. dowd former marine core captain, main contact with mueller in the russia investigation. he had pressed the president to lay off attacking mueller personally of course it worked for a while but as we saw this week the president completely disregarding that. personally attacking mueller by name for the first time tweet the mueller probe should never have been started there was no collusion and no crime. and why does the mueller team ha...

If he tried to do that. but does this, right now, increase the pressure on him to try again? >> well, look, i think one thing we have learned about president trump is that he does not accept the unwritten norms or limitations on the exercise of presidential power. in the presidency, as really in all aspects of his life, he has shown that he pushes until someone or something pushes back enough to make him stop. and i think he looks at the republican congressional reaction to this latest escalatio...
