Page 4 - Collusion Aspect News Today

This is laying out a blueprint of what robert muellers been doing. its giving us an unusual view of what hes been doing in this very closed-down operation. where do you think hes going next? >> i think we got an answer to one of the big questions today. weve always known there are two major tracks of the investigation. the collusion aspect, what happened in regards to the russians interference and the obstruction of justice track. if he could find that u.s. individuals had cooperated with russia...

Issue comprehensively, strategically and thoughtfully. >> rob reiner joins me now. good to see you. >> thanks for having me, ali. >> i want to be clear about the work this committee is doing. you are not obsessed with the collusion aspect. youre trying to make sure people have sort of almost a clearinghouse of information when it comes to what we should and do and dont know about russia and its involvement in the elections. >> thats right. this is the first time in american history where weve be...

As quietly as they could. a lot of supporters, the president can say why are we talking about the mueller story? this is the saturday night massacre that never happened, why is it important? one reason its important is that over the past few months, on over a dozen occasions, the white house has told us that there was never any consideration in the white house about firing mueller. theyve all been saying it. so if they have been lying to us on this, why are we to believe them on the collusion as...

To talk to trump some time soon about that. that may be true. the obstruction of justice case goes over a shorter period of time. its a smaller number of witnesses, and its out in the open. its people we know about. the collusion and conspiracy aspect is hidden. so i think we should be very cautious about what we dont know about that case. what witnesses are calling, and the hiring of this cyber expert is interesting. we shouldnt write off the collusion part. heres the thing about the collusion ...

Office. what is your assessment of where this is right now? >> i think what makes sense now is this is a russian intelligence operation on all fronts. my colleague and i are watching it in social media. i think the most startling part is exceeded wilder success than they imagined. they vice president gotten all of their foreign policy objectives. it has put our country into chaos. they want us americans fighting each other. i think what this is not so much about the collusion aspect but obstruct...

L mueller is silent. the only person the president can attack is the fbi and thats why you see him going after the fbi so harshly in the place of going after bob muller. >> amid that quiet you do see people coming to their defense. the statement is beyond reproach. how effective is that defense as we see the president and others piling on here? >> many of the republicans that are now attacking mueller were the ones to say he is beyond reproach. he was a great choice but now that hes trying to wa...

Mislead the public about what this was. hes called a witch-hunt. its not. look, it does matter i think when you get to the point you can reasonably say to people this was not anything but obstructing and trying to prevent the fbi and special counsel from getting to bottom of what is very serious issue. >> and what youre seeing here is two officials, george bop dopilous and michael flynn charged with lying to the fbi. what youre seeing is no lie is going to let you wigging out of this investigati...

Prevent the fbi and special counsel from getting to bottom of what is very serious issue. >> and what youre seeing here is two officials, george bop dopilous and michael flynn charged with lying to the fbi. what youre seeing is no lie is going to let you wigging out of this investigation in terms of robert mueller and his team are serious business. and the obstruction case is ongoing. and theyre from all accounts going to cross every "t," dot every "i" before they wrap that up. >> and that has a...

Massive investigation from the transcript of the plea agreement to where the lawyer that brian referred to says this is just a tiny part of this larger investigation to just the way he seemed frustrated with manafort and gates and threw everything at them. to the way he did this sort of dramatic reveal with the information that none of us knew about with papadopoulos. >> and even the timing of the unsealing of the guilty plea by papadopoulos today is probably not a coincidence. if you go back an...

Unsealing of the guilty plea by papadopoulos today is probably not a coincidence. if you go back and look at the transcript from the october 5th hearing, they had 30 days to keep it under seal if they wanted. its not 30 days yet. so they decided they were ready to put it out today. i think its a warning sign to everybody within the white house that, hey, we know about this and youll get treated this way if you cooperate and this way if you dont. i also think its a signal to manafort that, hey, w...
