Just getting into the collusion question. and that regz is going to go on. but one of the things that senator burr and warner said today is that they are essentially setting aside the investigation into the the firing of james comey, that they were going to leave that to other agents to look into. and for the most part while its not closed, that part has sort of wound to an end. remember thats the reason we got the probe, at least the bob mueller probe thats ongoing. but when it comes to the sen...

Investigators, follow the money. thats what they do to try to lead themselves to the bottom line. can you remind everyone of what now the scope -- what youve learned that mueller is investigating. i believe we have a graphic to help people walk through it. so what is -- is there a way to tell what the primary thing is, or are all of these things equal? >> look, i think they have not given up on the central question of whether or not anybody in the campaign -- and that includes people inside the ...

Trump is treating his own a.g.? >> isnt that extraordinary? i have to talk about the jared statement. jeremy, lets dig into this. i want to share a part that stood out to me. "the record and documents i am providing will show that i had perhaps four contacts with russian representatives out of thousands during the campaign and transition, none of which were impactful in any way to the election or particularly memorable." okay, jeremy. fine. four meetings out of thousands. ive taken thousands of ...

Team. most of the lawyers i have talked to who have worked with mr. muleer, it is curious he seems to have a band of lawyers that are so democrat skewed. it makes him harder to make the political case hell be fair and balanced in these investigations. >> you dont think that shannon mulaire, given his history and the talent he has, the people hes brought together, are going to be fair and balance? >> i do think they will be faired a balanced. i think at the end of all of this i think bob mueller,...

Administration is focused because china, we need china to help us with north korea, which is another huge problem. the world is really in a state of real mess, real chaos. >> then how about getting on the same page as your own intelligence agencies? anthony scaramucci over the weekend again said, well, the presidents still not sure about who possibly hacked the election. come on now. whether or not the trump campaign colluded or not, we know they tried to spinterfere. why not simply state that? ...

But also other questions that are trying to answer the collusion question, right, and some have said the conspiracy question. these leaks, if they are the tip of the iceberg in terms of what the five investigations are undertaking right now, it would seem that then, therefore, these investigations are just growing in scope and in scope and in scope. >> yeah. youre not going to get any disagreement from me on that idea. i mean, they are going to continue to grow. i think one area that we havent s...

Seen this far. >> weve been covering the story since the very beginning. the senate and house intelligence committees have been digging on this question for weeks, months now. fbi, now the special counsel. that collusion question, and its still a question, has been based purely on the fact that meetings took place. a number of meetings, a frequency that caught the notice, we have reported, of the sbenls community and law enforcement, particularly the fact that it was with so many russians, both ...

Are the kind of allegations we need to get to the bottom of. >> let me ask you this, and i know that any time we ask you about the investigation, you risk going into classified territory as this information is. its just that that question of the possibility of collusion, if its even the subject of the investigation, is something of a political football and youll hear from trump the question is closed. you hear that from democratic lawmakers, et cetera, but when i speak to you, you say, no, in fa...

Those 30 lawyers, thats just the legal team and there are 100 fbi agents digging into all sorts of avenues from, you know t business relationships of people around donald trump, to the collusion question, to this obstruction of justice matter so its intensifying. i want to say one i think this about the tapes issue. if it was a bluff and its clear it was a bluff by donald trump, i wonder what the implications are going to be for foreign leaders who are watching this president. what does his word...
