Page 2 - Help Mueller News Today

Until january in control of the house did not want to help mueller. they wanted to do defense for the team trump and trump organization. all of that is about to change. you can see how eager democrats are to jump on that. >> how about in terms of for the president? legally and politically what do you think is the greatest for him right now? >> yeah. i think it depends what the transcripts of his associates show. another thing he has to worry about is his long-time bank of choice for the entire f...

Into ukraine as well. >> paul manafort, yes. >> the president has responded to russias aggression against ukraine. lets remind people what michael cohen told congress behind closed doors when he said, look, all talk about a moscow trump tower ended in january 2016. he said because, quote, the proposal was not feasible for a variety of business reasons and should not be pursued further. now we know from this reporting that there are questions about the honesty of that and where it went and who wa...

Is jared kushner and ivanka trump. they were apparently unhappy with don mcgann particularly because of what the president was talking about there, learning that he talked for some 30 hours and maybe they had something to do with all of this. >> yes, despite what the president said yesterday, they have a lot of reason to be worried. even if it seems like a inokay louse took place, help mueller in ways that they cant talk about. and they have not done everything by the book. there would not be an...

Experts believe that. if he fired comey for corrupt reasons, if he asked comey to go easy on flynn for corrupt seasons and if mcgahn can help mueller establish that, thats obstruction of justice. you cant charge a sitting president, but i think we are moving towards a comprehensive report that will go to congress that may be more damning that we can imagine sitting here right now. >> im glad to you went back to the presidents tweet. which is just the most disgraceful thing that this president co...

Don mcgahn can be a crucial witness. and this story in the washington post where sources are suggesting he didnt incriminate the president, i read that as this is the giuliani philosophy that the president cant obstruct justice because he can fire whoever he wants for any reason. i dont think that robert mueller believes that or legal experts believe that. if he fired comey for corrupt reasons, if he asked comey to go easy on flynn for corrupt seasons and if mcgahn can help mueller establish tha...

Convicted could be more -- >> assuming he has something to help mueller. we all assumed that he knows things about the trump tower meeting and other dealings with russia, the change in the republican party platform that nobody else would know, but thats the big inference. if he knows something -- >> thats what the president seems worried about. rudy guiliani issuing a threat to bob mueller, he tells bloomberg, quote, if he doesnt get it done the next two or three weeks, we will just unload on hi...

They are holding him accountable and putting sanctions in place when they know for certain that there has been wrongdoing. its the right move. ainsley: what about congressman mark meadows saying that the dossier author christopher steele was working with the doj and fbi into the trump administration? >> the problem that you have is every time congressional investigators are able to look under the hood and look at whats going on at the department of justice and specifically the fbi, every time th...

True that in the courtroom, lanny davis is a hired god. he will work with whatever client he thinks deserves his services. in the political realm, he is a big democrat. i dont think he needs this case. 72 years old and doing well. this may be part of his political agenda and thinks that president trump stole the election from hillary clinton. he and hillary are besties at beast when it comes to politics. i think he is interested in how his new client, michael cohen, can help mueller make the cas...

Early on about the russia stuff and thats what they were referring to, a leap on my part, this is not the way i like my fbi agents and personnel to text or tweet or say anything. thats what im asking you and whether that is a possility and whether that feeds the argument that the president is wrong on this, that there is something here. >> neil, i think that is not a leap to say that the professionals involved would have seen information beforehand and that would have influenced the text message...

Was the one talking to cohen every day. he probably knows about those dealings, but who knows what else he knows about. i think its person to emphas e emphasize, mueller isnt the only person in the world that can open a case on the president. he has a mandate where he has to demand a certain scope of topics. and we already heard about the red line about trumps businesses. those might be out of the scope of muellers investigation. i dont know necessarily that they are, but lets say they are. if t...
