Page 14 - Mueller Case News Today

There were reasons to have caution. but not everyone was willing to wait for the please to do their work and piece together what did or didnt happen. plenty of politicians dove right in and turned up the heat. nancy pelosi said if the racist and homophobic attack is an affront on ohumanity. presidential candidates called it a modern day lynching. harris said we must confront this hate. both booker and harris were pressed by reporters when it was becoming clear smollett was becoming the target of...

>> we talked about that as a split screen but that will be one of the stories next week. youre going to have the president try to make a play on the international stage. youre going to have michael cohen giving this open public testimony. what are you substantively listening for next week? >> its not so much what i hear from cohen. its going to be the questions from the democrats. you have that new group of freshman congressman who were really trying to make a name for themselves. are they just ...

What exactly are the terms? no jail, cant talk about his investigation, the mueller case. what are the other terms? >> he cannot speak on television, radio, do any print media, any online becaused media and most importantly that we should be paying attention to, he cannot use twitter, facebook, instagram or any other forms of social media. so that is a big blow for stone. it remains to be seen if he ecan control himself and not use these platforms. because i have to say even after the judge orde...

>> reporter: it was incredible. and that is by far an understatement. when we started this hearing on monday, this was completely unexpected. when we started the day today, it was unexpected. but things were not looking good for marb harris. the republican candidate who had been fighting since election day for the board to certify his election, but the tainted absentee ballots were too much. they opened an investigation and here we are. first oall of his son testified against him yesterday. this...

Harder for him to do that, i think, as the mueller case continues and the investigation starts the wrap up. >> right after the president submitted those answer, asha, we learned that cohen told mueller that trump tower, the trump tower moscow negotiations were ongoing much longer than we thought, and that manafort had lied to mueller and his plea deal was toast. do you think that timing was deliberate? >> absolutely. i mean, you know, and just to go back, i mean, i do think trumps early lawyers,...

Going well, then your going to say what you got to say, and then youre going to count on your lawyers afterwards to sort of fix it for you. so that it seems to me what donald trump was doing. its going to get increasingly harder for him to do that, i think, as the mueller case continues and the investigation starts the wrap up. >> right after the president submitted those answer, asha, we learned that cohen told mueller that trump tower, the trump tower moscow negotiations were ongoing much long...

Immerging right now. its not related directly to the mueller case. it involves a russian lawyer that was there in june of 2016 of that infamous trump tower meeting. she is charged in an unrelated ca ca case. >> yes. she is that now infamous 2016 trump tower meeting with senior members, she is charged with obstruction and prosecutors of manhattan. it has to do with this money la laundering case. it ended up helping win the case essentially for her side and what the prosecutors are saying is that ...

Make allegations about the special counsels investigation more broadly and about robert mueller personally. you might have seen reference in the last week or so to a sort of joking reference to a nude selfie that may exist in the mueller case. that came from one of the deliberately provocative filings from his lawyers. but all the attitude from his lawyers and t i think, admittedly provocative nature of the way they argued this case for their russian clients, doesnt mean they arent doing somethi...

That you would have a conspiracy case where the lower level guy goes to jail and the upper level guy does nothing. in fact, when the fruit of the conspiracy is to win the election, he just holds that up and says im sorry. by the way now that ive won, you cant indict me. that seems to be more of a threat on that case than the mueller case. >> i guess the issue comes down to where is the line between what is political and what is legal? of course, in a case like impeachment, its very clearly polit...

They invited the judge to go a little below the 42-month guideline. so im not sure that the two sides are all that far apart. the mueller case was a much smaller potato case in terms of the exposure for mr. cohen, so they were necessarily in a backseat to manhattan. im not sure they were that far apart, i just think the southern district memo did not warm up to the memo that mr. cohens attorneys filed. charles: you would not get that interpretation from reading a newspaper, from reading a headli...
