Dnc and the podesta e-mails. im told mueller is going to come to some conclusion about how those were hacked. i would look for charges related to dnc and podesta hacking. >> lets talk about the pacing th of this, peter baker. my first introduction to you is when i bought "the breach" which you say is coming into a tv some time soon. >> cool. >> but you really dug in on the clinton impeachment and investigation. compare the pace of what ken starr did with the pace of what burre bob mueller did. >...
