So Wolff News Today

Special prosecutor is going to talk to steve bannon, who you spent a lot of time talking to. The Special Prosecutor has been talking to many of your sources in this book. Has the Special Prosecutor reached out to you to talk to you about either the firing of the Special Prosecutor or any other elements of this story . He has not. And if the Special Prosecutor does want to interview you, would you cooperate with that . Good question, and i dont know the answer. But i think that the answer is, yes...

I am grateful you came on. and i guess lets do it again in four years. thanks so much. >> see ya. >> so wolffs book is one example of this broade er phenomenon that youve been hearing about, this bevy of trump books that says now these sources are coming forward to tell us what happened. six months after donald trump vacated the white house, now sources tell us general mark milley was concerned trump might attempt a coup. now they tell us milley compared trumps lies to adolf hitlers rhetoric. th...

It is like the old mike tyson thing. he would win the fight before he got in the ring because people were scared of him. this goes to the institutionalist aspect of the mueller investigation. he was more concerned with his own institution. his open part of the store than the rest the house burning down. >> which you say is someone who cares a lot about the underlying allegations. the issues with donald trump. people matter and say i heard so many good things about moou. there are many good thing...

Thats not the case. they have disputed other things. if thats what the mueller folks thought, does that explain why mueller held back for the interview? >> well, it says something worse. it says his report is a lie in the sense that he is publicly said we never considered indicting. heres an interesting thing. march 2018, they have this 56-page memo. it is june when we have this unsolicited opinion by barr that goes to rosenstein and to the white house counsel saying that you can prosecute obstr...

Close associates even for the purpose of impeding investigations. your view. >> i dont believe you can. i believe they thought they were executives and they had nixon corollary. if the president said it is the law, so it is because the president said it. i think the people around him, the justice department, both rosenstein and barr, they all believe that. the fact is, it is an old statement and the darrel of justice had this ruling. you cant be a judge in your own matter. so you cant give yours...

Presidents have to testify when theyre subpoenaed. >> i put out on twitter about questions, and one of the biggest questions was about nikki haley. lets look to an interview that nikki haley did today that part of the interview was provoked by something you said last week. lets listen to this. >> he told the comedian and television host bill maher that hes president sure that the president is having an affair and close readers of his book would be able to figure out who the president is having a...

Not about conflict of interest or supervising the justice department, its about stopping the investigation. that would be powerful evidence of his intent, this is not someone who acts like an ininnocent person, lawrence. thats the most important thing that comes out of the picture that wolff paints. >> i was struck by that term wallpaper that michael wolff used. it tells us a lot. if you ever listened to the wiretaps of mafia headquarters in new york or boston or different places, the wallpaper ...

Jury. it might be brought to congress and in an impeachment proceeding thats one of the things for congress left to decide. >> donald trump may be crazy, but hes not legally insane. the standard on that is very high. i think mr. wolffs legal analysis is kind of back wards, all due respect. and jill pointed out there are specific acts of obstruction. he wasnt spouting off when he did fire james comey, when he instructed a false statement be produced by don junior about that trump tower meeting. s...

Prosecutor is going to have to get inside the presidents head to figure out what his actual intent was in those statements. what was your reaction to that? >> i think intent was one of the more interesting parts of that interview. he also said that the president likes to say, youre fired, and he does it all the time. he apparently learned his lesson on "the apprentice" all too well. as far as intent its tricky for a lawyer to be able to prove intent. but in this case there are so many acts in fu...

Jury can infer intent. and the other problem is if he didnt intent the corrupt firing of mueller and, lets face it, of comey, then if wolff is correct, he sounds like the alternative is the man is crazy. if hes crazy and incompetent and stupid, which are the words michael wolff used then we have to look at the 25th amendment and congress has to stand up and say the man is incompetent. those seem to be the fwo choices he was saying, it was hard to choose intent because hes crazy. that leads up fr...
