Wasnt The Musing News Today

It and why might that matter in an obstruction of justice inquiry? >> so if mueller were building a broad obstruction case against the president, something like this may play into it as sort of backup evidence, backing up the claims that the president was trying to get in the way of the russia investigation, impacted, have control over it, supporting things in and of itself. it was probably not obstruction but perhaps part of a larger pattern. mueller knows about these things because over the pa...

Lets hope that the press covers the president of the united states differently than it covers celebrity businessman and reality television star. you know, he came here obviously, he likes to brag about crowd sizes as part of it. everything is the biggest and best its ever been as far as hes concerned. but he did get emotionally warm reception from the people here, not because the billionaire investors and the bankers suddenly decided that they agree with him on globalization and these issues, bu...

Tension between the two of them has tried to do everything possible to try and move along the white houses cooperation with mueller. >> frank, i want to bring you in on that point because i know you shared some thoughts with us today that donald trumps reaction to this story by calling michael schmidt and maggie habermans account fake news, he may have impeached the credibility or perhaps even the testimony of don mcgahn. elaborate. >> he may have painted himself into a corner that has legal sig...

It almost feels mean, but you went there first, mr. president. this is senator barack obamas visit to berlin back in 2008. the crowd size at his branden berg gate speech, 200,000. heres president trump in a very different setting earlier today. >> as a businessman i was always treated well by the press. the numbers speak and things happen. but ive always had a very good press. and it wasnt until i became a politician that i realized how nasty, how mean, how vicious and how fake the press can be....

As betsy woodruff reported in the last block, those were off the table. the people for saving mueller are no longer for saving mueller. any clues as to why thats the case? >> i mean, i think at this point, one of the things thats sort of baffling, sort of take another step back and look at is the fact that donald trump should by now have learned the lesson that firing someone isnt going to end this investigation. its not going to end the investigation. >> it could have opened up a new one. >> ex...

Post, fox news have all confirmed the story. he wants to pretend its not the case, but, you know, so far as i can tell, everybody thinks this is in fact the case. he dismissed it obviously and didnt want to talk about it, his aides didnt want to talk about it. it does shadow a president when they are overseas and these kinds of things are reported. it is something they focus on, fixate on. how could they not? when they get home this is what is going to be waiting for him. the russia investigatio...

>> so the biggest issue or the most interesting certainly of them that the president cited was the fact that mueller had been a member of trumps golf club in virginia and had a dispute with the club on membership fees and that was a conflict of interest that made it impossible for mueller to oversee the investigation. the two other reasons were, one, that mueller had interviewed to be the fbi director, the interim fbi director the day before he was appointed special counsel. and the fact that mu...

Finances, now mueller comes in and says his personal finances are at the root of why we believe hes been compromised by russia, its not a winning argument. >> seems like it at the center of the collusion investigation. betsy, let me give you the last word on your piece. you have reporting out today that the efforts to protect bob mueller are going in the wrong direction. >> thats correct. senator tom tillis, a member of the senate judiciary committee has currently essentially stalled or dialed b...

Clifford, who i prefer to use her actual name. >> okay, i will go with stephanie. >> somebody was interviewing her and she couldnt answer any of the questions because shes still -- she still is, you know, is healing to the nondisclosure agreement of the payment. so, i dont know, god knows whats going to happen in that interview. what are they going to talk about, the c.h.i.p. funding? >> this is a serious question, though, because this was -- this story broke about two weeks ago. we did it last ...

He said trump wants to fire mueller. that was the story from the get go. so, the new detail is that he ordered the code red and mcgahn put the fire extinguisher on it, which is -- thats the interesting detail. >> why is that interesting? what does that tell you about mcgahn? >> well, i dont know what it tells me about mcgahn. it tells me mcgahn had an important survival instinct. im not sitting around here, im not going to be like, you know, the rabbi who was the last person to support nixon. so...
