Page 20 - Robert Muler News Today

Democrats and republicans see things so differently. when mueller was first appointed there was bipartisan praise for him. if you look at polls recently, be republicans are starting to see him much more critically and democrats are seeing him much more favorably. he is seen as a political actor rather than someone who is apart from politics. >> dont you think that bleeds into the findings? the investigation? dont you think people will find it tainted? >> certainly trump partisans will. i think t...

Let me tell you why. mike flynn was not honest with the fbi. thats what hes been accused of. thats what hes pled guilty to is lying to the fbi. thats a crime mike is responsible for and has nothing to do with the president. >> the former trump campaign manager corey lewandowski insisting the president has nothing to worry about in special counsel robert muellers investigation. i need to ask my panel. donna, evan with me. okey dokey. they sat down with "today" and making this argument let trump b...

Wrote a memo about it and then he testified under oath to congress and said look, i view that as an order. as a direction to drop the investigation. and i did not comply. after that, james comey was fired. that is the essence of the obstruction of justice investigation that robert muler is pursuing against trump. in terms of his lawyer saying the president cant obstruct justice, there was a famous man who once said when the president does it, that means its not illegal. his name was richard nixo...

Jury is what is the corroborating evidence that makes the governments witness credible. here, the cooperating evidence on behalf of james comey is overwhe overwhelming. >> help me understand what counterpoints work, right. right now, trump team wants to go after abc news and brian ross as a great deflection point. how about this "washington post" revelation that one of muellers agents had sent anti-trump tweets and mueller had to take him off the russia investigation? how much of an issue does t...

>> that are argument has been discredited. the articles of impeachment passed by the house judiciary committee cited obstruction of justice. that was impeachment and not prosecution. no doubt that impeachment could be based on that, but the idea that the president is literally above the law as president nixon was saying historically has been largely discredited. >> want to get you in here. you spent all your days here. >> we are talking about the presidents tweets getting him into trouble and no...

Its time to end the investigation. while people have said we should -- if trump fired mueller, that would be a red line, trump doesnt have to do that. the bannon world is saying get congress to defund it because they cant do their investigation if they dont have the money to fund it. thats their sly way of trying to do it and youre going to see it snowball. >> we have months more to focus on this. president trump, if youre watching, i agree, unfortunately, mike flynns life has been ruined, but i...

Contradicts himself again. thats why i think donald trump is in a lot of trouble today because of what he did over the weekend. he should have just -- >> muellers move is actually really a net positive because it shows hes putting the integrity of the investigation. these werent even tweets. you cant have a political opinion privately. when the private texts came to muellers attention over the summer, he said youre out. no ifs, ands or buts. you cant have its credibility and impartiality questio...

There is new revelations that continue to come out about this meeting. it is a very significant meeting for investigators and not just robert muler and capitol hill as well. they were trying to interview everybody and don jr. himself. it shows that this still remains the key question about what donald trump jr. actually said. we know what he said publicly. there was nothing there. what do people remember from that when and what does he say when he talks about mueller as well. >> if the account i...

Now we have two instances. one with papadopoulos and the other in the summer of trump tower. the russian service already got through steps one and two. they were spotting and assessing. keep people in the trump campaign. that should make every american service. >> the point he was trying to make is russia already won and you have to be naive to take the meetings and he thinks its a fair avenue to explore. >> woor to see how they are responding and about the news of social media and the relations...

Did serve with him, to make him just be more dependent on pleasing the president. whatever he could do, delivering that speech about daca, only to have trump a few days later say, hey, just kidding. we are going to do something that will keep these young strivers in our country. its all part of his manipulation. >> matt miller, with your experience in government, your reading of hillary clintons interpretation of the scene? >> i think secretary clinton is right. especially if you look at the tim...
