>> so theyre trying to find out what instructed her, not really putting something on her herself? >> as far as we know. we dont know any direct criminal liability that she has, but you can see why if the president is orchestrating that coverup, part of it could be firing james comey and what you say in public. you want to know who instructed her to say things that werent true. everyone whos around the president is a potential witness for his state of mind and his state of mind is so important be...

The times hes acted privately to pressure individuals to try to remove them from their positions and i think one of the things that giuliani did, giuliani gave away the game a little bit yesterday by coming out and saying this wasnt a direct order. he clearly knew that giving a direct order would be legally problematic for the president. well the problem with that strategy for rudy, lets remember the president has given direct orders to interfere with the investigation before. he directed don mc...

Strzok that turpt opportunity t his whole story. >> and in a bloomberg report, they write that mueller and his team of prosecutors and instigators have an eye toward producing conclusions and possible indictments related to collusion by this fall. he will be able to turn his full attention to the issue as he resolves other questions including deciding soon whether to find that trump sought to obstruct justice. how do you see this playing out in days to come? >> i find that of suspect. mainly bec...

Or, you know, not ignoring the illegitimate orders as weve seen other people in the administration do. dont forget don mcgahn twice was ordered to go and get mueller remove and basically ignored it until the president went away. i worry that the president is learning the wrong messages here. he is learning -- he sent an illegitimate order to the justice department on sunday. and the message he got back not was that he should stop interfering with the justice department, but that he would be rewa...

He obstructed justice. its definitely elements of the obstruction of justice case. the investigation is going on. and he cannot comment on what mueller is doing. remember, comeys turn in the fbi, you know ended when muellers vinvestigation starte. so he has to be very careful to talk about ongoing investigations. however, he can talk about his own personal opinions, as jim said, he is going to be a witness in this case. and if there is anything that he knows about ongoing investigations, that ha...
