Flynn Question News Today

Before, and the controversy around general flynn at that point in time was centered on whether he had lied to the vice president about the nature of his conversations with the russians, whether he had been candid with others in the course of that. so that happens on the day before. on the 14th the president makes specific reference to that. so thats why i understood him to be saying that what he wanted me to do was drop any investigation connected to flynns account of his conversations with the ...

Is no good, this is a lose-lose situation for the president. >> are you surprised that rudy giuliani so far is coming to the same conclusion that john dowd did, that an interview with bob mueller is no bueno for his client, donald trump? >> the president has long looked for a silver bullet to try and bring an end to this. there have been some thinking amongst trumps lawyers that if he did an interview, he could bring an end to the investigation and it would be over. now, the question is when the...

Inference is a fair one. its never a good day for the fbi to be asking questions about what you did and why you did it. so i would not be happy right now to be jared kushner. completely agree with joyce on that. whether or not he actually conspired with russians to interfere in the election or set up a back channel and broke the law in some other way, dont know yet. and i think i hear joyce saying the same thing. but these are the types of questions investigators always ask. you ask questions ty...

Wing doj friends and my middle of the road doj friends. >> were united the world. >> we do. i mean, it is not the presidents personal sword. its not his personal shield. its the department of justice. it has to stand for something larger than political goals. >> something else thats in here, special counsel wants to know a little bit more about another "new york times" report. john dowd raised the prospect of pardons for flynn and manafort. how does john dowd figure into this? >> in discussing w...

Like always, we have to assume that mueller knows a lot more than we do. the surprising thing, i guess, about the questions, there were only a few things that really werent publicly known that were in the questions, which sort of leads you to believe are there other questions that muellers investigators were planning on asking. to understand the question, you have to answer that mueller really wants trump to sit down for an interview. they brought trumps lawyers in in march. we will tell you the...

Questions because it certainly was not in donald trumps interest necessarily because it just remind you of how much there is in this timeline ranging from the party platform to eric prince in t. it doesnt necessarily do donald trump any favors except his advisors are clearly desperate to not have him sit down the bob mueller. >> it lays out for the president just how perilous an interview with someone like bob mueller who one of the presidents allies describes as a prosecutorial assassin. >> the...

Political agents. and again, thank goodness that so far rod rosenstein has not fallen for it. but what kind of doctor does this is the question that i have. and so nicole to your earlier point about if trump were a regular subject in a drug conspiracy, would he will implicated? when we look at the conduct, maybe strong manning someone to steal confidential material, pressuring witnesses, coordinating a story, pressuring the investigator and the prosecuter? if he were a normal round the way boy i...
