Page 5 - Things Mueller News Today

Neil cottial wrote the rules. maya wiley former u.s. assistant attorney in the southern district. you look at the case laid out there, of course. that goes to the suspicion so the facts can be relevant to the investigat investigators. when you look at the new reports, how do you think they relate to muellers charge? >> i think theyre greatly concerning and i think theyre exactly the types of things mueller has been looking at for two years. i would add to what youre saying. one other important t...

The president of the united states under active investigation by the fbi for being a russian asset? i mean, this is the stuff of fiction novels that, you know, usually are rejected by publishers as being too unrealistic. and i think as we look to our tomorrow and the bar hearings in particular, we have a lot to worry about. barr promised today, he said i wont interfere with mueller. did he make that promise about the southern district of new york investigation, about michael cohen, when those pr...

You should stop, absolutely stop suggesting that muellers probe should not be protected by legislation, and we should stop having a conversation that suggests that it is somehow inappropriate for the congress to exercise some oversight to enable the american people to understand whats happened. >> joyce? >> so i think maya is absolutely right. and whats so startling about this new reporting over the weekend is that the fbi thought that there was sufficient predication to open a counterintelligen...

America, "the new york times" and "the washington post." this is not normal news, and this is not a normal night. so we have researched, reported, and booked a special show for you tonight. were going to be joined in a few minutes by one of the most powerful new house committee chairs to learn what that coequal branch is doing about all these developments on this important night. later in the hour, president obamas former supreme court lawyer who wrote the rules governing the mueller probe joins...

Back then if the russians try and do something, tell us about it. nothing. zero. and then when asked about it, the trump campaign and the trump folks lied about their contacts. and thats why you have indictment after indictment by mueller. so, you know, thank heavens for the mueller probe, because without it, we wouldnt know all of this stuff. we wouldnt know that manafort, the presidents campaign chairman is, you know, in cahoots with the ukrainians and russians. we wouldnt know that michael fl...

How long this is all taking. i think rudy giuliani has a joint when he says, come on, lets see the evidence. at some point dont the american people deserve these answers sooner rather than later? >> i think you have to wait until the end of a very deliberative investigation that mueller is making and what we know and what that "washington post" story and "the new york times" stories show is that mueller is operating, as has been members of the presidents own national security team, mattis, among...

David: he is a great democrat, he was a leader of the democrat party. he brings up a good point. of the mueller investigation is looking at something and -- why double up on that with an investigation in congress, leave it up similar? >> there are things mueller is not looking at. is not looking at the tax returns. that is something democrats are interested in learning more about so that is where they are going with this especially, the job description and requirements, money laundering and subp...

Know now which is that he conspider with a foreign power to win an election in hopes of getting paid off with a real estate deal. thats the big kahuna possibility here. if a president cant be impeached for that, im not sure what purpose it has in the sphere of the constitution and checks and balances. >> your argument is that the political process that is our sort of mechanism for holding a politician accountable doesnt seem to be functioning. >> impeachment was design forward the house to decid...

Connecting dots here. if there were deals made between white house officials and manafort in violation of his plea agreement, that might to your question, fred, go to the idea of obstruction of justice or witness tampering. whether or not that would be charged is another question. >> and one point here, we have been looking at this from the perspective of how deep it penetrates the white house, how deep it gets to the presidents inner circle. one of the things mueller has to look at are the peop...

To me like a just outcome. three chief of staffs in less than three years of being just a little interesting color there about how he is looking at president. part of the reason why barack this. obama cant manage to pass his of course, one of the things that investigators have been agenda. all this comes as sources at the really interested in because obviously, it could go potential time cnn kelly sat for an to obstruction of justice if the interview with muellers team in president was trying to...
