Page 4 - Point Mueller News Today

Around these messages? >> think it is bigger than russia. i think the withhold world has found out that the way to flip trump to get him in your interest is to get him in a one--on-one meeting and feed him these things. if you speak loudly -- not loudly, strongly. thats the word the president likes. if you speak strongly, you will flip him. there are lots of instances of that. one i know well is what putin did in helsinki when he met one-on-one with president trump and right before then mr. muel...

Let me start with you and what i heard from a former u.s. intelligence official today that donald trumps compilation of seemingly bizarre, seemingly random, seemingly -- let me just be blunt, stupid comments about russia are probably at this point likely under scrutiny by people investigating his relationship, his contacts, his coordination, if you will, with russia. >> my goodness, nicole, i think they would have to be. we were wondering why michael flynn was debriefed 19 times. it struck us al...

Them how foreign policy was crafted? >> oh, absolutely nicole. look, just because flynn was interviewed 19 times doesnt mean flynn was the only person interviewed. in fact, far from it. i assume all of the people who were in those meetings whether it is dina powell or h.r. mcmaster or others have been interviewed. it doesnt mean every single one of them has to go in front of the grand jury. obviously you can talk to investigators outside of the grand jury, and thats a reasonably common occurrenc...

Maybe the numerous probes into trumps businesses are taking their toll. quote, "investigators are also swarming the company, and that is putting it at risk of having to disclose private financial information in court cases and before congress now that democrats have taken over the house of representatives according to congressional staff." just how big is that swarm around the businesses? heres what we know. we know that mueller has subpoenaed the trump organization. we know former attorney mich...

New grand jury in, install them and completely get them up to speed, it is typical to extend the grand jury for a period, as here of six months. it does strongly signal that mueller is not ready to finish up in the next month or two and has a little bit more work to do. >> chuck, same question to you. this extension of the grand jury means there are potentially more witnesses to appear before the grand jury. what else does it mean? >> absolutely. joyce is spot on in her analysis. first, it is re...

Trump says he as not moving forward with it, theres no point. the part of america holding donald trumps feet to the wall, either he gives up on trying to appease them or lets it go on for months or years. >> right before the holidays a source close to the president -- i called them after the mattis resignation and i said basically, wtf is going on with your friend? he said, hes scared. hes scared of mueller. hes terrified of his base. i dont see that happening. >> no, he is terrified of his base...

Charged with and what hes pled guilty to and what hes been convicted of, there doesnt appear to be anything involving this specific assistance that was reported in "time" magazine. is that a good sign it doesnt extend to the president and collusion with russia? >> i agree with jim as to what the charges weve seen are. i would say that it is certainly -- if i represented the president, i would be pleased that there hasnt been any charges involving manafort and the president today. obviously it do...

Campaign chief broke his plea deal with special counsel robert mueller, and yet another ex-trump insider will be detailing how cooperative hes been with mueller. michael flynn eaves ss sentenc is already due today and its already been recommended flynn receive no jail time. lets start with manafort. his attorneys are saying their client has been cooperating, but you make the point mueller has all the receipts. how do manaforts attorneys show hes been truthfully cooperating? >> i think its going ...

Shaped by the fact that he is on the ballot in 2020. he didnt like the last time he did that. >> six years seems like such a long time. it seems to go very fast. >> so lets listen to this point about the manafort cooperation. the former independent council asked about this idea of mueller interviews manafort. special council says he has been lying. his lawyers leave the room. what does that mean? >> if youre cooperating with a government you should not be sharing information unless it has been u...

Rosenstein. would you come to work today if the president says you should be behind bars? >> welcome to the trump administration. >> exactly. they are day by day stumbling towards what will be some kind of a showdown here. at some point mueller will come out with indictments. the president is going to be alarmed or more alarmed than he is now. i think thats what concerns senators that he will then try to stop the investigation once it is completed once the indictments start dropping here in the ...
