Page 4 - Mueller Problem News Today

So when i saw flynns sentencing memos, that jumped out at me right away, this is not going to sit well with judge sullivan. but then i tried to put myself in flynns lawyers shoes and you figure even the government is not -- even the government is not recommending my client go to prison. so maybe if i go in and i flick at this conspiracy theory, maybe i can get president trumps attention, maybe im playing for a pardon here. its sort of a gamble and i think what youre seeing today is the jij wudge...

A record $107 million, whether some of that money was received illegally or used illegally. theres apparently a criminal investigation now underway. >> well, i think what youre seeing is professional prosecutors who have evidence suggesting that there may be crimes and they are following that evidence and, again, its another shoe that has dropped. it seems like every day theres another revelation of at least hey alleged improprieties by the trump administration or his campaign, and -- and all of...

And you dont have the votes. if you had the votes, you wouldnt need to negotiate with the democrats. so this is a republican party problem, is it not? >> not in the senate. weve got to have ten democrats on the senate. >> i understand, in the house. you seem to have a problem in the house. >> i cant comment on the house, but it doesnt -- the house can do what it wants but it doesnt matter if it doesnt pass the senate. we obviously have to get ten votes in the senate. i think some of my democrati...

>> what should that be? what would you be offering? >> you know, id sit down with my democratic friends and just talk frankly and try to size them up and see how serious i think they are. and see whether or not i think theyre bluffing. there is a way out of this. it wont solve the problem but we can keep government from shutting down by just doing another cr if we cant resolve it. im not a big fan of continuing resolutions but the way weve been spending money around here, doing a continuum resol...

He would try to get it passed in the house. its not going to happen. the mexicans are not paying for it, and the americans are not either. its not happening. >> heres to me the problem the president has, its republican controlled house and senate and yet hes begging the democrats for money. its his own party denying him this. oh, by the way, the irony is the $1.6 billion thats in this budget for it was originally the ask. >> right. >> so hes also changing the rules in here. hes got to me no leve...

Political revenge and a coup against the president. that wouldnt serve us well at all. the best way to solve a problem like this to me is elections. >> do you agree with the senator? theres a couple parts of that statement specifically, he said he doesnt believe theres enough evidence that we have now. do you agree with that aspect of it? do you think there is not yet enough evidence to start this impeachment process in the house or not? >> yeah, i sort of disagree with that part but agree with ...

Clamenick. we need to know more there. yesterday another senior trump administration person lying about contacts with russia. and the whole question which is a legal thing about was he lying about the nature of the contacts he with the trump administration or donald trump while he was supposedly cooperating with the special counsels office? >> let me ask you to react to something that angus king said to me on sunday, senator from maine, independent on the senate intel committee. i asked him abou...

Or do you have any concerns? >> i dont know him. im going to do my job. i will ask him tough questions. i want to know what his feelings are about the mueller investigation. i think we ought to let mr. mueller finish. im not sure hes ever going to issue a report. im beginning to suspect that hes not. and that concerns me but well save that topic for another day. i want to know how expansive mr. barrs view of the executive privilege is. im going to do my job. i mean, if i think hes qualified, im ...

Cause a crisis, get everybody upset, make everything sort of whack and then hell come in and solve it at the last minute and take credit for it. thats what hes doing here too. even though we see a poll come out this morning from npr only 28% of american think beefing up border security is an immediate problem that needs to be solved now. the numbers are nowhere on his side. the election basically decided that anyway. but this is his play. this is what he does. he puts everything in crisis, runs ...

With this bogus dossier. id like to point out, people are defending the mueller problem by arguing, hes gotten eight or nine convictions so far. if the definition of a good special counsel probe is the convictions they get, the criminal on the whitewater probe was a home run. they got 14 convictions including governor of arkansas. they had to do with the underlying purpose of the investigation, which was an alleged crooked real estate deal. the convictions that mueller has has nothing to do with...
