Part by the clinton campaign. is it the same at all in terms of legality? >> no, its apples and oranges. on the one hand, youre talking about as director mueller stated in his press statement, a concerted attack by military and intelligence elements of the russian federation. so thats just obviously unacceptable. the steele dossier, he was a foreign national to be sure who was hired by a group of americans, the democratic party. so thats a totally different situation. i just dont think -- i thin...

Money. but we have to remember that the russian interference activity in 2016 was an intelligence operation, and so to assume that future activities would be intelligence operations by russia or any other hostile nation means that theyre going to try to get around the law. so its wonderful that the commissioner issued this statement, because she is putting the u.s. candidates and campaigns on notice that they are at risk of becoming under investigation. but that doesnt dissuade, thats not going ...

You. i was really struck by the hubris of mr. mueller in his press statement where he took no questions in asserting that, a, his report spoke for itself, which is patent i untrue. and b, he wasnt going to answer any questions and preferred not to have to go to congress at all. youre a public official. you wrote one of the most consequential reports in the last 40 years. you need to be accountable to the public. >> she believes that -- she said, you know, bob mueller plays by the rules. if he ge...
