Probably a similar deal, little bit later, but a similar kind of thing. You know, i really believe you dont know until youre tested, but i really believe id run in even if i didnt have a weapon, and i think most of the people in this room would have done that, too. Because i know most of you. But the way they performed was, was really a disgrace. Theyre called medal of honor recipients. A Close Campaign advisor, rick gates, a man who was in the president s inner circle until october 2017 when he and Paul Manafort were indicted, is rearing its head in many ways, including more frequent swipes at attorney general jeff sessions. A lot of bad things happened on the other side, not on this side, but on the other side. And somebody should look into it, because what they did is really fraudulent and somebody should be looking into that and by somebody, im talking about you know who. I have a feeling i know who it is, mr. President. Even trumps aides acknowledge there is a sensz of unease hang
Prevent joe digenova and victoria from joining the president s special Counsel Legal team. What exactly are those conflicts . Other attorneys involved in the Mueller Probe have been permitted by the special counsel and by their various clients to represent multiple witnesses. This is a common practice when none of the witnesses is a subject of the investigation. The answer, according to four former Senior Justice Department officials i spoke to over the weekend who are all familiar with the investigation is that the two clients in question, mark corral owe and donald trump, likely have divergent interests. Two of these former Officials Say mark caralo may be a witness against the president. Another former official saying, quote, we know who mueller was empowered to investigate.
