Page 3 - Down Mueller News Today

Congress, the logical consequence that follows is mueller, the southern district, all of their information has to be given to congress so they can evaluate impeachment. it would be the height of putting someone above the law to say oh, you cant prosecute through the executive branch and then congress you cant impeach because were going to hide all of this information from you which is why every scholar that takes johns position which is a sitting president cant be indicted also says the remedy i...

Special counsels materials and investigation turned over to congress, including grand jury information and other confidential information. >> for grand jury information, john, he would have to go to the a.g. hed have to get a court order for that. its attainable but you guys should be on the same page about that, right? if theres a thin report and questions left unanswered and suggestions of hallways that werent walked down mueller could get subpoenaed and you wind up with a whole new round of e...

Information and other confidential information. >> for grand jury information, john, he would have to go to the a.g. hed have to get a court order for that. its attainable but you guys should be on the same page about that, right? if theres a thin report and questions left unanswered and suggestions of hallways that werent walked down mueller could get subpoenaed and you wind up with a whole new round of exploration. >> i always thought trump made a serious tactical mistake by attacking mueller ...

Congress this job. if the president is unfit for office, if he has made bad policies, committed maladministration, political crimes, thats what congresss job is to investigate that and conduct impeachment proceedings. i dont think its a job for a special counsel. i think thats become a distraction for the real constitutional route. however for the crimes that the sdny that are occurring before trump was president, i think the sensible things for the courts to do is to delay that until after the ...

I determine the first line of rosensteins memo. find any information of contact and coordination between the government and campaign. that doesnt speak to criminality to me. but even if you want to fold that into ultimately he is a prosecutor and looking for prosecutable items then this report could be thin, neil and in that case, theyll be left with a lot of unanswered questions for congress, i guess they have to subpoena mueller, have him come in and tell him the parts of the story that he did...

Your own case against you neil, given what he was asked to do, hes not just a general fact finder, although thats the way i determine the first line of rosens terks rosensteins memo. but even if you want to fold that into ultimately he is a prosecutor and looking for prosecutable items then this report could be thin, neil and in that case, theyll be left with a lot of unanswered questions for congress, i guess they have to subpoena mueller, have him come in and tell him the parts of the story th...

Control. so what we have seen mueller do throughout is that every indictment he has brought, every court filing is more detailed, more inciteful and better informed and more narrative than we need for the underlying criminal charges. its why we refer to these as speaking inindictmedictments. they have a role beyond proving the criminal case. one of the things that i would imagine mueller is thinking at this moment and his team is thinking is further indictments, if they can bring them, further c...

Investigation, and by these other offices taking this up, we can make sure that those who are responsible for breaking the law are brought to justice. >> an effort to shut down the mueller investigation different from what weve seen before? is there something new youve referred to? >> well, no. weve seen pressure from the white house all along to shut down mueller. we saw recently matt whitaker, this hand-picked acting attorney general, talked about how he could privately cripple the mueller inv...

General recently said this thing is almost over. were they working together, do you think? we had a guest on today who thought they were working together, the president and whitaker, to squeeze down mueller. >> right. well, first of all, muellers investigation is not partisan. he happens to be a republican who is investigating the republican president. and this friday the house judiciary committee, on which i sit, were going to call in matt whitaker and question him under oath. i dont think he k...

For the other. >> did you tie together the idea what the president said tonight, in other words lets kill these investigations, especially the mueller one with the idea of whitaker, the acting attorney general recently said this thing is almost over. were they working together, do you think? we had a guest on today who thought they were working together, the president and whitaker, to squeeze down mueller. >> right. well, first of all, muellers investigation is not partisan. he happens to be a r...
