Conclusions, and hes obviously going to conduct a very thorough investigation and if the president and others are exonerated they are entitled to talk about that but bob mueller is going to reach the right conclusions. im sure about that. ive known him for a long time and hes the right man for this job, and its difficult obviously for the president to the have to endure this investigation day to day where various people close to him are being questioned, but weve just got to get this behind us. ...

He did not collude with the russian government to influence the 2016 elections. to them, thats the bottom line. >> thats right. these are complicated facts that have to be worked through. there could very well be financial entitlements and financial transactions will be studied and looked at. the other point is the president appears to be quite upset over the possible expansion of the scope of the independent counse counsels probe. weve been down that road many times in the past in other context...

It clear that special council robert mueller should not, quote, move outside of the scope of the investigation. in your view, do you think president trump was threatening special counselor muler in any way? if you peek too much into my familys finances, im going to fire you? >> the language of the interview certainly was implicitly threatening, bob should stick solely to things related to russia. thats not the scope of the special counsel. hes looking into obstruction of justice and looking into...

And then he said in the interview later on, a lot of conflicts you dont know about, conflicts with mueller. sat right now where you are right now, maggie haberman, wanted a job with the fbi and theres a conflict interest so what do you make if the special counsel investigates the presidents finances that goes too far? >> my advice to the president is this. we really do need to get this russia investigation behind us. im not one of these people who are rooting for the president to fail. this is t...

>> a heavy sigh, a head on the table, and a thank you to all of them. o.j. simpson is going free. he will do so in october. lets go to geraldo rivera. >> i covered the criminal trial and the civil trial, now this parole hearing. very different conclusions. each of them, in the criminal case, i was outaged. i thought a gross injustice had been done. in the civil case, i was elated. i was so happy that they had found him liable in that civil court case. in this judgment, it is as i thought it woul...

Over his presidency. i think if he had his way. obviously mueller wouldnt be there. if he had his way going forward, it would be a russian investigation that wraps up pretty quickly. he gets to some conclusions and allows him to move on with his presidency. >> isnt it the case that it has to do with the trump family and the financials are directly related to russia. i wonder if you asked whether or not he understands, part of the reasons it is irrelevant, it is thought that might be an inducemen...

There. if he had his way going forward, it would be a russian investigation that wraps up pretty quickly. he gets to some conclusions and allows him to move on with his presidency. >> isnt it the case that it has to do with the trump family and the financials are directly related to russia. i wonder if you asked whether or not he understands, part of the reasons it is irrelevant, it is thought that might be an inducement to the russians. >> we did talk to him about his financials and he said he ...

Jumping to conclusions -- >> right, about being transparent. >> going so far as to pile on the criticism of the president, you lose credible with people when you want to talk about the meeting when you get that far down the road. >> i think the problem is depending on who you are and how you see donald trump, you see the situation very differently. i think for people if this was president obama doing this, they would feel more comfortable with it because for people who like president obama, they...
