Page 4 - Stop Mueller News Today

Completion of written answers to questions posed by mueller concerning russian interference in the election. it also comes as trump has basically admitted that he chose whitaker to undermine mueller. remember, whitaker does not have the credentials one would expect for the job hes been given. he reportedly first came to trumps attention because trump "liked watching whitaker express skepticism about the mueller investigation on tv." his other appearances include this promotional video for a flor...

Chris hayes. donald trump sure sounds worried that there are indictments coming very, very soon. the president escalating his attacks today on robert mueller, though with a twist. claimed to know the "inner mp workings of the mueller investigation." now, to be fair, the president could just be lying. but this tweet comes just days after trump installed as his acting attorney general matt whitaker, the man who john kelly privately described as the west wings eyes and ears inside the justice depar...

100% legitimate. when someone is appointed to the highest law office in the land, its our job to see who is this person, is he legitimate. all the investigations we are seeing are 100% our roll. howie: on the night it happened, there was a headline, "the plot to stop mueller." he hasnt done a single thing to stop mueller, impede mueller. he might and that would be big news. but the coverage is he could do this and could do that. mollie: people know he isnt one of these people who is totally supp...

They make comment. >> that was this morning at the white house. and it appears whitaker agrees. according to the "washington post," he has no intention to recuse himself. it is possible he has consulted with legal experts. we say possible because recommendations from the departments ethics office arent made public. we would only find out during congressional investigation. we have our legal analyst joining us. and he makes the case where it is probably too late to stop mueller in a new piece in ...

And the account is accurate. this is really what went on. this is what the interaction really looked like, and dowd now trying to walk away from it, this actually brings mueller to life for us. but this was a really important time in march between the special counsels office and the presidents lawyers. they really realized at that point the full extent of the questions that the -- that mueller wanted to ask the president about. and dowd was trying to do everything he could to stop mueller, and a...

Outside of the completed investigation, and i put emphasis on the word completed, because a day does not go by when my constituents dont ask me whether donald trump is going to stop muellers work, fire mueller, stop that from happening. the president needs, if he believes hes going to be cleared, that investigation to finish sxshs certainly the american people need that to be finished. and congress shouldnt start throwing around the concept of impeachment until we have all the facts. >> what are...

And out of the three courts of appeals that looked at that, only one has upheld attorney-client privilege for a government lawyer. so they may have been thinking that well, whats the point of fighting this, were probably going to lose. but whenever you waive the privilege its a dangerous thing. i would not have so cavalierly waived it. >> i do think its interesting on the attorney-client privilege, it talks about how their follow-up report which was that the presidents lawyers never fully asked ...

Saying this was evidence of obstruction? >> this is all about obstruction of justice. the presidents lawyers saying his tweets may got himself into a little bit of illegal issue here. hes not saying much. hes not giving a direct order which means hes not obstructing justice. we all have to remember that robert mueller is looking at obstruction of justice as apart of this investigation of this cloud thats hanging over the white house today and duration of this presidents presidency. people are ve...

Obviously theres not a cloer and easy path to that. >> right and the president hasnt shown us a clear and easy path. he has muddied the waters with his rhetoric, which dont match his actions and what we hear from his administration. so i dont think we have an answer. quite frankly, we do not have an answer. the last thing we heard from the doj was they were going to stay in deteng if they could keep them until everything was processed with their parents and their parents were deported back an th...
