Page 15 - Whether Mueller News Today

Serious attack on our democracy. and, you know, look, thats -- thats spilt milk. right now whats important is to get all the facts out, to protect the mueller investigation, to make sure that, you know, i dont know what hes going to do ultimately with mr. trump or some of his associates. but hes clearly gotten guilty pleas from his national security adviser, from his deputy campaign manager, from senior officials in his campaign. we know that they had more than 80 meetings with russian sources t...

President trump and mr. giuliani have said hes going to decide whether to force a subpoena for mr. mueller or whether hes going to voluntarily testify. thats a decision that could easily go to the supreme court. mr. kavanaugh expressed his views already on that subject matter and saying that the president shouldnt be forced to answer subpoenas. and so, you know, you never know whats in donald trumps mind. but you have to know that he knew that kavanaugh was someone who wanted to protect the pres...

Im not casting aspersions on the integrity of mr. kavanaugh. he has well expressed views here. the democrats need to examine what he intends to do if, you know, faced with that choice. >> right. i understand how precisely measured youre being while raising the fact that this is not a drill, were dealing with a president who seems to delight in breaking things. and the question of whether mueller can put him in the grand jury box if he wont do the interview, unlike the clinton example where it wa...

Suggested -- well, he didnt actually say, but when the president, some of his associates suggested that maybe its time for mueller to if not wrap, be fired, he says -- and im quoting eric swalwell -- fire mueller and we fire you. to which you say what? >> look, i dont think the president should fire mueller. i dont think that would be the right end to this. theres a very interesting challenge by one of the witnesses that promised prompted a 93-page opinion i havent read yet which should be appea...

Because theres a regulation in place that says if you work on a campaign and theres a criminal investigation relating to that campaign, you cant be involved. >> the president puts it on sessions, says it was a bum move and he should have told him about it. it was a total hoodwink. >> wrong, wrong, wrong. as far as it being a hoodwink, sessions would have to have had the gift of prophecy along with the president in order to believe at the time he was appointed that there was going to be to an inv...

Rosenstein -- >> look, jeff sessions -- >> he recused himself. >> had to have recused himself because theres a regulation in place that says if you work on a campaign and theres a criminal investigation relating to that campaign -- >> the president says it was a bum move and he should have told him about it and it was a total hoodwink. >> wrong, wrong, wrong. as far as it being a hoodwink, sessions would have had to have had the gift of prophecy along with the president in order to believe at th...

The united nations taking on donald trumps attacks on the free press. the top story, the closing circle of pressure on trump from the manafort trial. michael avenatti has popped back up with a dvd, doing some breaking news of his own on who is in possession of it. >> do you have anything else you can tell me about this dvd? >> as soon as we get it back from law enforcement, ill be happy to talk about it. >> that is new. the assertion that law enforcement are sufficiently interested in this dvd...

Is we have got to undo citizens united. the only way to do that is the supreme court. kavanaugh will vote in the wrong way on that issue. >> ari -- >> im almost out of time. i wanted to get your reaction to your former mentor roger stone speaking out tonight. and one of his associates going into the mueller grand jury box. do you think that rogers playing this right? do you think he faces any vulnerability as a potential target here? >> well, look, as ive said, roger is a critical piece for muel...

Now, stone says tonight that she knows nothing about alleged russian collusion, wikileaks collaboration or any other impropriety alleged to the 2016 election. today also marks the end of the first week of the first case bob mueller has ever taken to trial, interesting when you think about it, mueller putting his first cooperating witness on the stand against paul manafort and the accountant who worked with manafort and now today provided more evidence of alleged fraud to this jury that will de...

So i leave it up to mr. mueller. but i think that hes conducted this professionally, quietly, and well see where it lands. >> john podesta, you seem to know a lot because youve done a lot. i appreciate you coming on "the beat." i hope youll come back. >> thanks, ari. be happy to. up ahead, sam nunberg is here live to talk about a big new fight over money and politics and trump. and thats when were back in just 30 seconds. not so cute when theyre angry. and we covered it. talk to farmers. we kn...
