Informs Mueller News Today

President knew that flynn was in some sort of legal jeopardy, informs muellers judgment about whether or not he has enough proof to make out intent. >> let me go toeli on this. the news value here that the president -- it does have a little echo of watergate, when did the president know, what did he know? its actually the backwards of that. what do you make of this, the fact that the president was not investigating something, he already knew it? >> well, and hed been warned by president obama, b...

Hes basically rolling it up close to the president. so instead of trying to play to the president on like the third yard line theyre trying to go to the other end of the field by saying oh, wait a minute, were going to grab the ball and were going to head down to the other end of the field and prove theres something amiss with this minerals deal, this uranium deal, or that it was someone that shouldnt have been working for the mueller investigation even if mueller fired them, he shouldnt have be...

Showing your work. and i think thats something that when i talk to people around the president, people who are outside the white house who are trying to soften the ground, to soften up mueller a little bit and say look, this is a witch hunt, this is bad, hes friends with comey, all these things to get the public not to believe the findings, this is why. i hear them talk about an obstruction of justice charge, sort of belittling that charge. oh, its just some ticky tack thing. he didnt know any b...

He subsequently begged for the guys getting a break from the fbi director. all the while knowing this guy was in legal jeopardy. your thoughts about the political implications of a president keeping that secret. >> well, this is if true a very big story and the timeline just went through underscores. it also underscores what we dont know about what bob mueller already knows. this investigation has been going on for months and months and when there are critics who say its a witch hunt, that its a...
