Page 17 - Collusion Case News Today

Moving away -- well, this week at least, it seems to be moving away from the collusion question, the moneylaundering question by people like manafort, gates and flynn and over towards the obstruction area that seems to be where theyre pushing the fresh. if i were thinking, that would be a whole another kettle of fish. different white house people who may have been part of a conversation about how to shut comey down, shut the whole prosecution down. and thats when you get into obstruction. >> fro...

>> joyce vance, did a collusion case just get a whole lot easier that donald jr. was in an ongoing conversation with wikileaks? >> were seeing some indication that perhaps donald trump jr. was involved in accessing or receiving stolen property, some stolen e-mails, that perhaps there was other conduct that occurred. when you link up the disclosure from these wikileaks and add that to what we already know about the june meeting in trump towers, it seems inevitable were headed towards some type of...

Little bit of time. so if youre mueller and youre looking at who is my possible witness if theres a collusion case to be made, gates is the far more credible and important player because he stayed on after manafort left. he went all the way through the transition with trump. so hes got a lot more information and is a more credible witness. so the strands that you asked about earlier, i think theres a whole financial group of investigations that mueller is conducting. manafort was the first of th...

Campaign. >> exactly. just as manafort for a little bit of time, gates for a longer time. mueller looking at possible witness for collusion case to be made, gates is far more credible and important because he stayed after manafort left. went through the transition with trump. hes got a lot more information and more credible witness. strands that you asked about earlier, i think theres a financial group of investigations that mueller is conducting, manafort the first, flynn will be the second. ku...

They dont know what to do. they have ty cobb in there. theyre running out these people to be interviewed. if mueller real has his hands on the collusion case, the only way to save themselves is to attempt to blow it all up. >> youre not saying theyre ethically right. >> no. >> youre saying strategically -- howard is saying they strategically understand if theres an existential threat, you dont want to cooperate with someone who may be trying to legally slit the throat of your organization and th...

Interpretation. but collusion is collusion if the facts are there. the import of the george papadopoulos film, the import of the people that mueller is looking for now is that he believes, and he knows pits important if hes going to be sxrebl convincing. that he has to make the collusion case. not just the obstruction case. and he thinks the collusion case is there. and that is the political bombshell here. because i think even the bannons and the stones of the world thought donald trump could f...

That he either wants other people to corroborate in order to build a larger collusion case and he may supersede this indictment against manafort as it grows. >> they might know that he actually talked to other people on the campaign about what he was told about the hillary clinton e-mails and they just left that out? is that possible? >> you mean papadopoulos. >> i think thats entirely possible. >> it seems quite likely. theyre basically telling us at that hearing where papadopoulos entered his ...

All stuff that happened before the campaign. remember that those two fisa warrants started in 2014 or so and continued all the way up until january of this year. so there -- and a fisa would mean that he was demonstrably and knowingly acting along with a foreign intelligence service. so there may be additional information that mueller has that he either wants other people to corroborate in order to build a larger collusion case and he may supersede this indictment against manafort as it grows. >...

Hoping robert mueller and his team would hand them a smoking gun against donald trump in their collusion case but instead it is falling short. charges against paul manfort and richard gates have anything to do with the trump administration? joining us to discuss is tammy bruce. thank you for joining us. we were just talking about it. it doesnt mention donald trump anywhere in the indictment. >> this is a very -- regarding manafort pre-donald trump, pre-campaign, this goes back to 2006-2012, he h...

I think we need to make sure we understand the facts, take it slowly and go from there. i also do think, though, its good we have this conversation. we do feed to get a handle on any sort of foreign influence in our election process, you know the washington post reported earlier this week, we know the democrats were dishonest regarding their role in the fusion gps situation and what ultimately resulted in the dossier that we all have been talking about this week. i do think we need to have a bro...
