Page 7 - Stop Mueller News Today

Campaign? >> the actions are under review and under investigation took place prior to him being part of the presidents campaign. >> just before i get your reaction, i just want to point out, thats not true. the most recent set of charging documents describe activities that happened during the campaign and into the transition. but what do you make of that? >> well, thats the first thing i make. you took the words from my mouth. for starters, its not true. and its this very brittle bobbing and wea...

Well, it has always been my view that he wants to avoid it like the plague. the perjury trap idea that his allies are pro pounding doesnt make a lot of sense. the reason its not a perjury trap is because if he is guilty of obstruction, as he seems to be, its not a trap. he either has to tell the truth or lie. those are his choices. but i think that its always been the case not withstanding this bravado on his part how he loved to talk to mueller. and the lawyers being care to feel say were going...

Over the past few weeks, the special counsel has unveiled some very special indictments. first the indictments against 13 nationals including a kremlin-connected oligarch for waging information warfare on the 2016 election. then remember the surprise guilty plea by a dutch lawyer who no one really heard of who lied to investigators crucially about communications with gates and paul manafort pertaining to work he did on behalf of pro kremlin interests in ukraine. and then finely, that man, gates ...

Crimes. and trump has some very vast business holdings, as do many people who are very close to him. so even if you can make the argument that manafort and gates didnt have that much to do with the trump campaign or the president, they should be concerned for exactly that reason. mueller seems unlimited in his investigation, and if he sees a crime, comes across a crime, hes going to indict. >> certainly going back years, as well, to pursue that. let me ask you about something susan rice wrote in...

Various people. so we dont know exactly what it is that tripped him up at this point but it does raise questions. people say, do you need security clearance. he wants to be our negotiating for middle east peace. it is hard to see how do you that without having the most upto date information that american government has on israelis, palestinians and arab states and so forth. thats a pretty big obstacle for anyone in that role if you didnt have that kind of security clearance. this is a big deal f...

Would get him in trouble. >> dana, let me ask you about what the president told fox news yesterday. hes playing the blame on president obama but said it may have been russians or others without specifically saying who might have also been involved in election meddling. its not something weve particularly heard before, certainly not something we heard from election officials as we have about the russian meddling issues. any truth to what president trump said yesterday on fox news? >> heres the th...

Complaint arguing that muellers investigation has gone beyond the scope, beyond its own power. it is not a bad argument. so anybody tangentially related to the trump campaign, trump presidency. the white house, anywhere. and anyone like kushner who has such vast business holdings and business dealings has to be concerned that somebody somewhere didnt fill out a form correctly or possibly committed a federal crime, white collar style crime. and by the way, there are already reports that kushner i...

Having a problem with a trust issue with the american people. how the media will handle this in the future will determine how people will feel about it. howie: the memo has been caught in the crossfire. "the plot to stop mueller." obviously republicans and some conservative media folks are trying to undermine the special counsel investigation, but it doesnt mean the information isnt accurate or relevant. gayle: the former director of the fbi james comey said the dossier was salacious and unverif...

Rosenstein, i think the public trusting this whole thing is gone. youre the guy in charge. you could disband the mueller special prosecutor and do what weve all called for, appoint a second special counsel. >> mueller added that his or her political believes do not render them incapable. >> their opinions do not influence their actions. and so i believe director mueller understands that is he is running that office appropriately. >> joining me now msnbc analyst. youve got the text between two di...
