Page 2 - Thinking Mueller News Today

Being compromised by the russians has escalated in the last couple days among those who i know you talked to in republican circles? >> i think its certainly grown a little by but i think two big points will happen to change the game a little bit when michael cohen testifies in public. well learn a lot more about whats going on and right from cohen. its going to be pretty much appointment viewing but the second thing is the mueller report. that will be probably the most important day in congress ...

Pro-putin? and this is the issue "the new york times" raises, what do we do as a constitutional matter if the commander in chief under article two of our constitution was responsible for foreign relations and who is responsible for national security, what if he is working against the giants of the united states? there really is no criminal end to that inquiry. so at the end of the day i think where this is all going, this is a question for congress. this is a political question ultimately about ...

Deny them erroneously. in this case, i believe the president knows that mueller knows the truth, that there are signal intercepts and classified intelligence around this assertion and hes very, very careful to come out and say a denial. now, we had last week an oval office address on a so-called perceived national emergency regarding the southern border, but kasie, if this assertion is true or even if its not true but its true that the fbi opened a case to see if the president is an agent of a f...

Do you think it was an overstep on the part of the fbi, or does it concern you that they felt the need to go that route? >> i guess you can kind of look at it either way. we will know a lot more when the mueller report comes out in terms of what was known or what they were trying to find out. in terms of launching the investigation, my first reaction was massive overstep but i think theres a lot more information on that too. i always try to be not quick making judgment calls on something like th...

Sophisticated and you could argue, has really methodically laid out a case in ways that most folks hadnt even paid attention to. if you look at the manafort agreement, he basically said that the only line thats basically missing from his agreement compared to all the other witnesses, all the other witnesses say that they cannot have conversations with anybody else about the case. that is missing from the manafort case. and now youre finding leakage that his -- that his lawyers have been speaking...

Theyre good at smearing people, theyre good at pushing hate and conspiracies. when it gets into a legal forum with mueller, prosecutorprosecu confessions, plea agreements, conservative media cant do anything and theyre not able to do anything. he might be looking ahead and saying, wait a minute, when mueller delivers the goods, this isnt working. i need something else. this is an awful week for me. >> fox was very good at pointing out whats happening. he presented the facts. >> right. >> youre s...

Have interesting material but the man na ford filing will be an opportunity for special counsel mueller, who knows he has to submit a report but muellers found a way to speak to all of us through highly detailed diemts. this is an opportunity for mueller to ar tech cue late all of the things he fibbed about. >> its going to be a long week. danny and nyera, thank you. coming up next, roger stone is back this morning. well show it to you after the break.

First national security adviser to president trump. he pled guilty last year to lying to federal investigators about his contacts with the russian government, contacts in which he discussed the possible lifting of u.s. sanctions against russia. and next week, on tuesday, we are going to get a whole new narrative from muellers office about flynns crime, his cooperation or lack thereof, and anything else they want to share, because they believe it will be of relevance to what kind of sentence hes ...

Presumptive republican nominee. so it went on for months longer than they had previously admitted. but the sway the special counsel tells it in the cohen court filings, it did come to a rather dramatic and specific halt on a specific date. on june 14th, 2016. the two trump organization guys, michael cohen and felix sater, who were working on the trump tower moscow project, they met in the lobby of trump tower on june 14th, 2016, and on that date cohen told sater, im not going to moscow. june 14t...

Not a very smart person. what hes trying to do is end -- and its very simple, hes got himself a big prison sentence. and hes trying to get a much lesser prison sentence by making up a story. now, heres the thing. even if he was right, it doesnt matter, because i was allowed to do whatever i wanted during the campaign. i was running my business, a lot of different things during the campaign. so very simply, michael cohen is lying and hes trying to get a reduced sentence for things that have nothi...
