Robert Mueller Lets Let News Today

Trying to constantly declare the game is over. this puzzle is coming together. pieces came into places yesterday. theyre very significant. were continuing to learn more and more about a campaign that was run, hiding very detailed and important information from the american people, including campaign finance violations, and this is not good news foss president. what they are probably pleased about is the government, muellers folks are having trouble with their cooperating witnesses. theyve got ma...

Michael and its hysterical, when michael cohen wanted to reach the kgb or russians he asked maggie haberman for an e-mail address. this is a guy who didnt know how to even get into contact with the russians. with that said, it is highly problematic and mueller, as your previous witnesses are saying, witnesses -- sorry, guests, mueller is going to build a narrative. thats muellers job. with that said the president has to respond to it. there are two ways to look at these things. i still look at t...

Michael cohen to commit any violations of law? and he said no, no. of course the documents lay out clearly that in the area of campaign finance, individual-1, who is believed to be president trump, was directing and aiding cohen in the payments to those women who claimed to have sexual encounters with the president. >> which sets up my question perfectly, samuel, the president says no collusion whatsoever. you hearty him say that. do you agree that that is what is reflected in the court foolitio...

In the meantime new details on the michael cohen sentencing memos filed by federal prosecutors in new york and the office of special counsel robert mueller. the u.s. attorney in new york is recommending, quote, a substantial prison term for michael cohen and joining me now as promised sam nunberg in the studio at msnbc. sam, look, youve known michael cohen for some time and i know you worked together during the 2016 trump campaign. what we understand to be looking at potentially between 51 and...

And as you listen to all thats been said by these attorneys as well, does this is sync up with you and do you believe this is potentially the beginning of the end for the president? >> i couldnt great with professor buehl more that congress needs to step up to the plate here. it is really striking to me that here we are, you know, nearly two years into this and we have all they open-ended questioning about what went on during the 2016 campaign. congress has abdicated to robert mueller lets let m...

This is happening in a vacuum, and in some cases the -- what we have to look at is where we are in a couple months or weeks, and what this broader picture looks like and whether that does get republicans over the line on some of this. for instance, you look at nixons impeachment proceedings, and dangling pardons was something mentioned in there. so we have to take a step back and wait for the whole picture to come into focus. >> what kind of message does mulers send with fridays actions there, t...

Were going to get answers to a lot of the questions being posed here, but congress can. they can call michael cohen to testify. they can call manafort to testify. they can call flynn to testify. theres nothing to stop them at this point. mueller might object and they could say sorry, we have an obligation to the american people to air awful facts here and, um, its time that they should do so. >> last question to abigail. do you have any sense that the incoming congress has an appetite to do exac...

Said it to the president during the campaign, we were trying to find a role for him. what is shown in these filings is that michael, once again, hurt michael. michael tried to play john dean. michael thought he was going to take down the president and he couldnt do that correctly. he, once again in the mueller filing, as you saw, he said he lied to them at first, in his first interview where hes trying to become a government witness and trying to not get a plea and then as is said in the south...

Speaking allegedly the truth in the robert mueller investigation? >> i think michaels truth is something along the lines that could be construed two different ways. michael was not heavily involved with the campaign, especially towards the end that he wanted. with that said, the idea that donald trump even ever seriously considered, despite the fact that michael may have spoken to him about traveling to russia after he got the nomination, that was unfeasible. look, the republican party wanted to...

Lied about their contacts with wikileaks and perhaps others during the 2016 election. i would have thought it would have been wrap up by now, but it is still -- one key witness was before the -- was being questioned by muellers prosecutors as recently as this week. so thats one matter thats still ongoing. look, we learned significant new information last week thats reaffirmed this week about the discussions michael cohen had with the kremlin himself. about this trump tower moscow project during ...
