Page 9 - Obstruction Probe News Today

Need to understand his state of mind during certain actions and episodes for the obstruction probe. if thats what the special counsel wants, it is the kind of questioning that really needs to be in person. you have to look at the person who is giving the answers. you have to assess them. you have to see if it works together. you want to test patterns. very tough to do in writing. this news comes as the special counsel fired back at general flynn today, showing our best example yet of how mueller...

Muellers investigation we seem to know because rudy giuliani lets tidbits drop here and there. mueller himself is way too disciplined to be giving this out himself. i frankly think that mueller probably has a great deal of evidence on the trump tower meeting. i would take what rudy giuliani has to say with a strong grain of salt. >> hmm. let me add to this. we are also learning this afternoon that robert mueller, his team, questioned chief of staff john kelly in regard to this potential obstruct...

Stormy daniels. >> right. >> you know, maybe we thought, okay, the payments to stormy daniels were concocted by donald trump and michael cohen. this filing seems to state that he coordinated his actions with one or more members of the campaign, including through meetings and phone calls about the fact, nature and timing of the payment. so who -- you know, the next question we ask, of course, is who within the campaign was he coordinating with. >> but also donald trump. it puts his statements int...

Brings into focus the statement on air force one about don jr.s meeting with the russians that the president dictated. the initial misleading statement said the meeting was approximbo adoptions. we actually came to find out it was actually about getting dirt on hillary clinton. why that matters is, now you have four examples of attempts to deceive the public. and robert mueller is saying in these documents that he looks at these lies to deceive the public as part of the obstruction probe, as eff...

Said before becoming president is what hes trying to do as president. this is documented evidence now. >> its an unequivocal clear piece of documented evidence that the president does want to mess with law enforcement any way he can. >> and whatever one thinks of james comey, we criticized his actions right here on this show, the reason comey matters is that hes key to the on have you been sh -- key to the obstruction probe. before trump fired comey, there was simply a russian collusion investig...

Republic territory. everything that don mcgahn knows, bob mueller knows. he has an obligation to disclose, hes a lawyer. im not doing primary reporting on this, i imagine he has it wrapped up to be the elements of obstruction. an angry statement there is different than a prolonged pattern to try to black ball, destroy the liberty of individuals or key witnesses involved in the obstruction probe. i think the "new york times" today has one of the biggest stories weve seen in the entire mueller pro...

The "times" reporting that donald trump would go on to continue to privately agitate for these investigations of hillary clinton, obviously his chief rival in politics, and james comey, his former fbi director. this news i want to be clear is a scale way beyond anything else we have seen in legal controversies with donald trump. and thats saying something. you may recall, of course that he did attempt to get bob mueller fired. that was wrong. it may not have been lawful. thats something under de...

Andys very much been trying to paint a picture of himself as someone who was fired, retaliated against for political reasons to try to make any kind of indictment as painful a choice as possible for rod rosenstein in the justice department and any trial. >> youre hitting on something very significant, people may remember that mccabe stepped up to replace comey as acting fbi director. he had a reportedly fight with donald trump over the phone immediately over the treatment of comey and whether he...
