Page 5 - Case Mueller News Today

Show is the waterfall cascading of lies. it is unbelievable how often the white house has denied what we now know to be true, that the president has not only contemplated but tried to act on it. do you this all these aides didnt know or just lied? >> i think they just lied. i think its surprising they lied for so long. this story came out, apparently it happened seven months ago, june, a month after robert mueller, special prosecutor, was hired. i think the buck stops with the president of the u...

President as a challenging client. remind our viewers, given all we know about the people who have gone before him, the people who have already talked to mueller, just how detailed a case mueller is going to sit down with, just how detailed a stack of questions are going to come at this client? >> mueller has talked to multiple people and a lot of conversations that the president would get asked about. so hes got all kinds of facts against which he can check the presidents testimony. the thing t...

Problem. >> mika, jack may be a master of understatement referring to the president as a challenging client. remind our viewers, given all we know about the people who have gone before him, the people who have already talked to mueller, just how detailed a case mueller is going to sit down with, just how detailed a stack of questions are going to come at this client? >> mueller has talked to multiple people and a lot of conversations that the president would get asked about. so hes got all kinds...

Thinks very strongly and feels very strongly about what is right and wants to tell his story and tell it with vigor. there is always a danger, though, whether sworn or unsworn, that if the prosecutors and agents believe someone else and believes their story more forcefully that that could be a legal as well as a political problem. >> mika, jack may be a master of understatement referring to the president as a challenging client. remind our viewers, given all we know about the people who have gon...

Accept only written responses. muellers team will say we want to question you. then the president and his attorneys will have to make a decision. they can say for sure you can question me and lets talk about the ground rules or the president can say pound sand, in which case mueller will issue a dprand jury subpoena. then the president will decide whether or not, a, he goes to the grand jury and testifies. almost certainly not. b, he invokes his fifth amendment privilege against self incriminati...

Investigation. >> the game is to disdread mueller investigation before it kom comes out with anything. to discredit the fbi, the people who are trying to get to the bottom of all of this. and i think that you muddy the waters before mueller does anything. and therefore, youre prepared in case mueller says, in fact, that the president did something wrong. or that the people this his campaign did something wrong. or that there was obstruction. so you know, it is like a pre but theal in politics. y...

>> natasha, explain how you see what kind of a case mueller is going to make here with these hot witnesses now. >> it seems like ken said hes moving more quickly along the obstruction path. that doesnt necessarily say to me or others talking to people in these circles that this indicates that the investigation as a whole is wrapping up. it just means perhaps one of phase of the investigation is closer to completion than another. one of the things that struck me about the "washington post" report...

Shave about 15 minutes off of the run from seattle to portland and there were many people whofr were upset about this and they warned about something like this happening. that will all be part of the investigation as we look forward. back to you. >> jeanine: thanks so much. and this weekend, special counsel robert muellers team came under fire over how they obtained emails from the trump transition team. joining us now live from the white house is ed henry. >> good to see you. democrats are tryi...

Democrats trying hard to pour gasoline on this fire by spreading rumors, and thats all it is right now suggesting that president trump will try to fire robert mueller. the president flatly denying that but in fact there are some democrats suggesting maybe the special counsels credibility is being undermined and in fact allies with the president trying to directly undermine the credibility. a lawyer for the presidents transition team trying to make the case mueller himself came to the probe by ob...
