Page 2 - Knowing Mueller News Today

Well? >> i want that to happen as soon as possible, chris. so our priorities protect mueller, send evidence to mueller, and weve got a lot of evidence that the republicans would not send over to mueller, and then make sure the public understands what mueller did as soon as mueller is done. thats my priority. >> so i want to play you something else someone on my show who worked for president clinton, speechwriter, said that really clicked something into space, the need for public hearings, public...

We see descriptions of not only the false statements that cohen made to congress, but most particularly references to cohen telling the special counsel about the circumstances that he prepared and circulated these false statements that hints bradley -- broadly at the possibility of others potentially at high levels in the white house and elsewhere who participated in preparing the false statements that he pled guilty to. there are also tantalizing references to many secret recordings that he mad...

What is your gut reaction to todays news? >> well, knowing mueller and watching the wave hes procey h over the past 18 months, we know for sure lying to him is a big mistake. thats what michael cohen did according to these pleadings. if anybody else in the trump ecosystem, jared kushner, don jr. or anybody else for that matter did the same, they will be in the same position as michael cohen. as to whether or not the lies that have been represented in this information implicate the president, i d...

We have no evidence but you can be sure others will want to investigation that possibility. otherwise, its the worst of all worlds for him. instead of going to try and communicating with donald trump, he agreed to cooperate, pleaded guilty, now has no legal recourse. hes pleaded guilty. he cant withdraw his plea. hes going to go to court. hes going to be sentenced potentially to 15 years. its inexplicable to lie to robert mueller. knowing mueller has all the resources at his disposal. the nation...

In a fight that would ultimately go to the supreme court, they might lose that. thats probably why mueller has been seeking to get something more voluntary. lets piecemeal it out, get some written answers and then hey, mr. president, we have some follow-up questions for you. they can certainly issue the subpoena. nothing stops the grand jury from issuing it. but immediately whats going to happen, it will get appealed right away. knowing muellers personality, i dont think he wants unnecessary fig...

Subpoena and litigates that. i dont know what hes thinking because he wont talk. hes a professional and thats the way professionals conduct themselves. >> all right. so im asked to -- im allowed to ask our lawyer in this case, what do you think about the possibility of what you just mentioned, a subpoena, knowing mueller and his work as much as you do? >> yeah. thats a real tough call because you have to decide whether the reward, perhaps getting the president to speak. remember, he could still ...

>> all right. so im asked to -- im allowed to ask our lawyer in this case, what do you think about the possibility of what you just mentioned, a subpoena, knowing mueller and his work as much as you do? >> yeah. thats a real tough call because you have to decide whether the reward, perhaps getting the president to speak. remember, he could still invoke his fifth amendment privilege. is worth the risk. and the risk here is both litigating it and perhaps losing it, although i think thats unlikely,...

To ask our lawyer in this case, what do you think about the possibility of what you just mentioned, a subpoena, knowing mueller and his work as much as you do? >> yeah. thats a real tough call because you have to decide whether the reward, perhaps getting the president to speak. remember, he could still invoke his fifth amendment privilege. is worth the risk. and the risk here is both litigating it and perhaps losing it, although i think thats unlikely, as well as the attendant delay. again, bec...

More with paul manafort. before we get to the trial that is much more related to russia, that is when he is going to step forward? i dont think so. manafort wanted trump to think about what lay ahead. and the next trial is going to be a lot about russia and ukraine. >> frank, imagining to be what it would look like to see someone pardons in this circumstance, what do you think? >> well, knowing mueller and how he operates and thinks and how his team runs, i have to think there is a prosecutorial...

So pled guilty to that. and count 7 and eight, in count 7 that is specifically to the payment made to karen mcdougal. and the payment made to stormy daniels. the president directly involved. a lot of statements made about how the cases that have been brought so far are tied to mueller specifically or come out of muellers investigation. this is one of those cases that dont have anything to do with the president. >> yeah, and we should note the timing here is, this is going on in late october of 2...
