Page 4 - Knowing Mueller News Today

President will have this, pardon authority. do you agreement heave wont use it? >> i think he might. but i agree it would lead to impeachment proceedings. heres what i think. knowing mueller and his team. theyre already fact tog r that in here. i dont think they need kushner. i think theyre assuming there is a pardon. i think they have flynn. they have got enough. and theyre going to get inside that oval office. >> what a week. thank you so much. up next, the trump white house may be trying to d...

Their ongoing russian investigation. and trump quoting taubgs news alleging mccabe was promoting his wifes campaign from his official e-mail for office. guys, good to see you. i want to get your reaction to this. former congressman warning president trump, quick attackig the fbi. its two days before christmas, put your phone down and no more tweets until after new years. knowing mueller is pushing along, what is at stake for this president? >> the mueller investigation has been moving at really ...

Is it time for a special committee? >> it certainly wouldnt hurt to have a bipartisan committee that, you know, would have extra authority or extra focus on the -- on the allegations involving the trump campaign and russia. but to the extent that theres any suggestion that the mueller probe is not composed of highly respected people doing a thorough and nonpartisan job, then i think thats kind of going too far. i mean, mr. mueller has been respected and hes appointed by a republican president in...

>> michael, listening to that, how do you see it? and knowing mueller, how do you think he sees it? >> im not sure mule ser cares one wit what don junior has to say to a group in florida. the thing that strikes me humor where is dons lawyers making these statements. because if mueller is listening, he cant like it, i dont think he cares, but he cant like it whose job it is to undermine the legitimacy of his fathers presidency while the kid is under investigation for coordinating with foreign nat...

Kushner, might be too much even for the republicans. moreover, muellers a crafty dude. so hes working with state prosecutors as well. lots of exposure for all of these guys for state crimes. guess what, the president of the united states has no power over state prosecutions. couldnt pardon. >> the attorney general in albany cant wait to get going here. let me ask frank one last question. i forgot my last question. i was already done here. no, what about the fact that the president will have this...

Lawyers, investigators hes hiring as to whats hes looking int into. im sure the lawyers representing the president and whoever may be involved know that. the "post" reporting the president was, quote, disturbing, after knowing mueller would be able to access several years of his tax returns. yesterday, the president laid down a red line, according to the "times" saying mueller should not look too far into his familys finances. "bloomberg" reporter, greg ferell, has been doing digging on exactly ...

That we expect to take three or four weeks. so there is going to be some other shoe that drops, unless they move the case, unless they decide to push it off for some reason, theres going to be some other shoe that drops no matter what between now and the election. >> thats been scheduled for a long time, though. >> mueller might not pull a comey but he could pull a lawrence walsh, who indicted cap weinberger days before the election. it seems to me to be an abstract concept. you mentioned comey....
