Page 6 - Get Mueller News Today

Hes talking about an early time. in his views, he said, possibly, 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 investigation started. 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 the...

Personalities. hes been covering this investigation. heres how he reacted to the news of the raids on michael cohen last week. watch this. >> do you think hillary clintons attorneys had their offices raided during this e-mail investigation? not a chance. mueller has ostensibly tonight declared war against the president of the united states. clearly his objective is to remove him from office. now, ive told you and ive told anyone who will listen. muellers team is corrupt, starting with him and it...

To tear down robert mueller, get mueller off the case, get rosenstein out. he is trying to stop the russia probes. and i think now that weve heard about cohen and heard about this in court, in some little way, it will affect hannity on the air, even though hell continue to try to defend trump at all costs. >> heres the thing, you can be friends with whoever you want. you can retain as your legal counsel as whoever you want. but as someone whos on the air and sean will tell you, hes not a journal...

And sean will tell you, hes not a journal, hes a host. dont you think he should have downloads tha disclosed that? >> this would have been an honest thing to disclose -- and ive been asking fox, did he at least disclose this to his boss? no answer from fox. hannity has too much autonomy. there doesnt seem to be any real rules for hannity at fox. doesnt seem to be any standards for what he says on the air. he is still on a channel that says "news" in the bottom of the screen, even though he claim...

But this is different, isnt it? >> i do think we learned more today about just how deep these connections are. that its not only that hannity is advising trump, that trump is promoting hannitys show, that hannity is attacking trumps perceived enemies. its also that they share legal counsel. and that, you know, it does speak to the deep friendships that are in effect here. and to the tangled relationships that the face of these men are at least in some way intertwined. and i think we have a bette...

Remove him from office. now, ive told you and ive told anyone who will listen. muellers team is corrupt, starting with him and it has been from the beginning. >> jim, interest take about a raid on what turned out to be someone he went to for legal advice, isnt it? >> well, listen to the comm commonality between that language about mueller and the institution between sean hannity and the president, right? theres been a consistent attack on legal institutions. those who were -- thats quite a stunn...

>> not exactly. the rules say, in part 7, they say the following. that the special counsel, quote, may be disciplined or removed from office only by the personal action of the attorney general. last i checked, donald trump was not the attorney general. now, our constitution is bigger than those rules, of course, and it does give the president the prosecution power, but it means that hays got to remove the regulations or go through some other mechanism to try and get mueller removed. >> so either...

Than those rules, of course, and it does give the president the prosecution power, but it means that hays got to remove the regulations or go through some other mechanism to try and get mueller removed. >> so either he orders the acting attorney general in this case, rod rosenstein, to fire mueller, or somehow just remove -- can he directly remove the regulations? >> no, he cant directly remove the regulation. the justice department has said for years, if you have a regulation promulgated by the...

13% to say, no, do not fire mueller. that is a huge thread, 55% of republicans say no, we should not fire mueller, 22% say yes, 23 percent dont know. that gets the appointive republicans thinking lets not stir up the wasps nest. >> there are two groups of identified that seem to want the president to fire -- to get mueller fired. those are a lot of journalists who would love to cover this and i would also include in the same, democrats who think it would harm him. then theres this other set of p...

The majority of american voters 69% versus 13% say you should not be doing this. this is a huge spread, we should not be thinking about firing mueller. then another 23 dont know. that gets to your point whether republicans think lets not stir the wasps nest. >> two groups of people who dont want the president to try to fire, get mueller fired and a lot of journalists want to cover this in the same democrats think it would harm him and another set of people believe the president is in mortal peri...
