He left a cushy job at a firm making a lot of money to be a homicide prosecutor in d.c. in the 90s. he is going after people like papadopoulos and flynn. he thinks theyre low life thugs like he used to prosecute back in d.c. i think he had a little sit-down with gates where gates said okay, i can give you information about manafort. mueller is like i got that case. thats easy to prove. thats a paper case. its failure to report, money laundering. hes got that case. mueller says to flynn, mueller ...

Believes a person has fully cooperated. joyce, you hear those two bits of information and you think what about the mueller investigation? >> it looks like the investigation is moving ahead on target and on pace. the news about gates does point the direction of leading us to believe at least very serious negotiations about his cooperation and this makes a lot of sense. this is largely a paper case against him. doesnt look like the government will have a lot of trouble obtaining conviction on some...
