Whether or not they get an obstruction case out it. >> the presidents sister happens to be a sitting federal judge. that would be interesting. ive looked around the panel. a lot of us have interviewed presidents. youre the only member who interviewed a president in a legal matter. what do you think the chances are of trump versus mueller face-to-face? >> i think that according to what mr. rudy giuliani says they will only let him be interviewed about collusion issue and not about obstruction. i ...

Presidents. youre the only member who interviewed a president in a legal matter. what do you think the chances are of trump versus mueller face-to-face? >> i think that according to what mr. rudy giuliani says they will only let him be interviewed about collusion issue and not about obstruction. i think thats a very wise strategic choice. here is an interesting thing that nobody has commented on. mueller and the presidents attorneys have been doing this dance for months now where mueller says i ...

Legal matter. what do you think the chances are of trump versus mueller face-to-face? >> i think that according to what mr. rudy giuliani says they will only let him be interviewed about collusion issue and not about obstruction. i think thats a very wise strategic choice. here is an interesting thing that nobody has commented on. mueller and the presidents attorneys have been doing this dance for months now where mueller says i want to interview you and the lawyers have been saying rudy giulian...

Dont know of any evidence about it. and i dont understand why the president is saying it now. one of the things i have been saying for a year and a half, putin is an opportunist. he will make trouble wherever he can. i dont think that means he will support democrats or republicans or anybody else, his job is to sew discord and undermine this country and nato and those kinds of things. so the presidents tweet is kind of interesting but i dont think theres any basis for it. >> shouldnt the preside...

Thank you. i want to bring in our cnn legal commentator jim shultz and our national security analyst and former secretary at the department of homeland security. i want to start with this new tweet from the president asking why obama didnt do something about russian election attack. but at the same time, saying its all a big hoax. james, how can the president continue to defy the unanimous conclusions of his own intelligence agencies? >> i think senator lindsey graham said it accurately this mor...

Up against it. months ago, despite what the president has said or feelings about -- in the presidents view my take on it is he views any sort of admission of russian interference as a admission of collusion. im telling everybody it is very possible. russia was going to interfere in the elections whether going to collude or nothing. the collusion issue, ive never seen evidence on that. they did interfere and will do so again in the future, hence the deter act, if you do it again, here are the pen...

Able to glean through all of these materials, a lot of people had serious concerns with that. now, there are some narrow cases where that could be acceptable. it raises a lot of questions in americans minds that believe that there should be some fairness and some real strong guardrails between somebody who is being investigated and the lawyer that they have used in the past that is also part of that investigation. so theres very serious questions about this. we dont know where the leak is coming...

They told him. they told him the russians did it. this is an absolutely categorically established fact, and if he could separate the collusion issue from the russian interference with the election issue, theyre two separate issues. but he cant seem to separate them. and tell the american people what the russians did, how dangerous it was, that were not going to let them do it again. that would be a tremendous service to the country. he cant quite get there. >> why? >> i dont -- i think because -...

Im quite sure thats not what they told him. they told him the russians did it. this is an absolutely categorically established fact. and if he could separate the collusion issue from the russian interference with the election issue, theyre two separate issues. but he cant seem to separate them. and tell the american people what the russians did, how dangerous it was, that were not going to let them do it again. that would be a tremendous service to the country. he cant quite get there. >> why? >...

Wrote that in with a sharpie on top of it. he crossed out a line and said anyone involved in that meddling to justice, talked about bringing anyone involved in russian meddling to justice. what do you make of that? i mean, its almost pathological his obsession with the collusion issue. are you okay with it, are you concerned about it? >> i think the president is still concerned with the amount of attention that the press brings to the fact that they still suggest that somehow he might have been ...
