Plug in, in the trump orbit. what does rick gates provide on the collusion question, conspiracy question and you just talked about obstruction. >> yeah, i mean thats the $64,000 question. whats clear is rick gates is an incredibly valuable witness for them. manafort went off the rails but gates probably knows almost everything that manafort knew. they worked very closely together. and gates brings them this other element, he was the bookkeeper for the inaugural committee, a whole separate invest...

Konstantin kilimnik and possibly deripaska in the inner circle. theres not surprising. the second issue is schafrpgs t exchange the russians were asking for sanctions relief. and i think the $64,000 question to pick up on kens thread here is less about who the plug-in was at the trump campaign. i dont think thats relevant. the russians made clear what they wanted. they wanted sanctions relief. the question is did trump uphold his end of the bargain in the fact hes resisted sanctions and has the ...

We will recalibrate and make sure with all future witnesses were prepared for them to do delay tactics. we expect matt whitaker to premiere tomorrow. >> i think thats an important point to underscore, you did not subpoena him. youre simply prepared to do so if you dont get the evidence and information and testimony you need to answer these important, as you said, questions you made public weeks ago? >> thats correct. and were not going to subpoena him if he invokes executive privilege. he has a ...

From the most heated partisan battles. donald trump attacks the investigation every day. and it seems central to find out what matt whitaker promised him or said to him before he got the job. >> right. its supposed to be an independent body of the doj, and it hasnt been treated that way essentially by donald trump, who has awe said attacks the department of justice every time he can. matt whitaker as we have been saying has been wholly unqualified to be the ag. theres a question, why are you the...

Countrys full attention back to the mueller investigation and clearly robert mueller is not going to litigate this in the media as roger stone is trying to do. he obviously is very, very serious and these charges should be taken seriously if i were roger stone, i wouldnt be talking to the media about the case. >> no. we saw him with the interview press conference there and making a couple appearances on cable news he also says his indictment stemming from before >> the point has been made over t...

Conspiracy question, they dont have the substantive nugget in there. that is probably why there is no conspiracy charge. they have plenty on stone with his blatant lying and witness tampering. i think that is really important here because so much of the indictments has been about false statements and covering up. obviously, common sense asks why are they so concerned about this? was stone just trying to walk it back or does he have something more substantive that he is trying to cover up here? w...

Confirmed. there are some specific things they have to share with congress like if there was a disagreement about who to prosecute or some other major decision. there is not really a lot that says this has to be made public or has to be shared. the reason are looking at the executive privilege thing is we know they wont bring charges against the president. they are operating under justice department guidelines. when you look at the question of obstruction, the white house wants to shield the ame...

Of the special counsels office. does the special counsel make a statement like that in court if that line of inquiry, the russia conspiracy question, is closed and if michael cohens contribution was in any way minimal? or should we take that statement at face value? >> i think we should take it at face value. theyre continue to work on this. michael cohen provided them significant information they found very useful. remember, in michael cohens sentencing it was the special counsels office that w...

Say, mr. president, do not do this -- do not go for them and do this investigation to testify or whatever. because, the president did a 90 some odd minute rally, off the cut, 90 minutes straight. these questions, its not going to be a one hour, two hour, its going to be a very long conversation. i think that are right. what theyre doing to do is say, let him talk. open up these broad questions. what i try to do in my life i dont try to ask a question that i dont know the answer. i think mueller ...

Us that the investigation still relates to -- there are serious questions about obstruction, about, you know, the firing of mr. comey and the firing of mr. flynn, questions about jeff sessions and so it really -- and also questions about the collusion aspect and, you know, really thats a conspiracy question, but there are questions related to that. so its a very broad and far-reaching. theres really nothing thats off the table i think in these questions. >> its interesting, general hayden. if im...
