When you go and raid the office and seize files, you will inevitably see things that relate back to the special counsel inquiry. i dont think its entirely walled off. i believe they will share information they find thats pertinent with the special counsel. >> chuck, same question. >> putting on my prosecutors hat for a minute, brian, i would not give that type of assurance, particularly if im at the beginning of an investigation. i dont know what people are going to tell me. i dont know what oth...

What i saw when i had the privilege -- and i do mean privilege, brian, of working for director mueller -- is a guy who didnt pay attention to these sorts of anniversaries. well talk about it. he wont. tomorrow is a day you get up early, put on your white shirt and your red tie and you go to work. >> stephanie, do you think they are able to insulate themselves from the coverage? do you think theyre watching just enough to hear us bloviate and maybe have a chuckle on a friday night? do you think t...

The southern district of new york and the pan ople of things that could threaten president trumps presidency. >> i dont believe the case in the southern district of new york is separate. you will inevitably see things that relate back to the special counsel inquiry. i dont think its entirely called off. i believe they will share information they find thats pertinent with the special couns counsel. >> same question. >> putting on my prosecutors hat for a minute, brian, i would not give that type ...

Do you think theyre watching just enough to hear us bloviate and maybe have a chuckle on a friday night after work? do you think theyre as completely mosqnk-like and insulated as they can be? >> i think they probably are. while there may not be any absolute firm rules around it, i think theyre being very, very careful about how much media they ingest just to make sure they can do the best, most comprehensive investigation without being tainted from outside voices. >> and, stephanie, a question i...
