Page 26 - Whether Mueller News Today

The things he did including this tweet, i think. its better for him to be talking about the things hes trying to get done for the people of the country and not look defensive in continuing to try to look like -- i mean, he tends to look like hes trying to stop or stall the investigation. its not going to -- i mean, firing comey just put more gasoline on the fire. if he fires mueller, i would just expect more of the same. the smartest thing he said in that tweet -- or that he said in the intervie...

For an exclusive interview. you can catch it right here on the fox news channel starting at six a.m. eastern time. kelly: a tragic scene developing in southwestern china. at least 15 people reported dead following a massive landslide burying an entire town. the desperate search for survivors, next. plus, president trump calling out robert mueller, potential counsel to the russia investigation, now questioning whether mueller can remain impartial given some of his professional relationships. do...

Interference in the 2016 election. this is part of what the president said last night. >> he is very, very good friends with comey which is very bothersome, but hes also -- we are going to have to see. we are going to have to see -- look. there has been no obstruction, no collusion, there has been leaking by comey. but there has been no collusion, no obstruction and virtually everybody agrees to that. so we will have to see. i can say that the people that have been hired are all hillary clinton ...

That defies the obvious? >> well, i think theres a number of different reasons. i can fgive you my reasons. i think what the president sometimes does, hes a media -- you know, this is good for you, probably good for ratings. the president is watching, reading a lot of stuff and he probably doesnt like a lot of the stuff that hes reading that he thinks is very unfair. we can disagree about that but mainstream media has not been fair to the president. they werent fair to him when he was a candidat...

But what we can know for sure is that mueller was put in place because there was an existing investigation into this broad question of russian collusion and then the president has taken actions to potentially impede that investigation -- >> and hes going to look at that, too. in miss testimony joe manchin said to comey, do you believe this rises to obstruction of justice? he said, i dont know, thats bob muellers job to sort out. he then says, im sure the special counsel will work towards to try ...

Under investigation. there is a difference between being a real target in an investigation and just being wrapped up in the gathering of facts. its not just what he told james comey. the problem for president trump is he also got two other intelligence officials that we know of, dni dan coats and admiral rogers, into these discussions about whether or not you could sort of pull back on michael flynn. if there are two or three more -- we dont know what we dont know. its not fair to say theres no ...

The matter. >> thats right. actually i was against those leaks, too, i said it on your show dozens of times. the fact is, lets find out what this information is. you guys are trying to figure out why the president tweeted as he tweeted. it all goes back to this question about whether or not once again these investigators, different investigators this time, have leaked the fact that the president is being investigated. >> i dont think thats an issue at all. you want your situational integrity. no...

Of comey? does that mean anything to you? >> in an odd way, the comey era is almost old news. we have a new investigation now. mueller is looking at everything. theres no reason to believe that the president is excluded from this broad examination. >> the idea that it was leaked, does that matter to you, does that change your perception of whether or not mueller would be looking at the circumstances surrounding comeys firing, or do you theys think thats a mat fact? >> the leaks are disturbing, n...

Why. this is different, a.b. i think your question is, well, whats mueller doing? mueller is looking at whether or not the president and his actions with comey, what that means which is different than what comey was doing, he wasnt examining his own removal. >> my question is simpler than that. the president had not been a target. comey told him that but maybe something has now changed according to the presidents tweet. >> well, in trump world, as we know, we all are speaking english here and we...

Process, this is a left wing process, conspiracy in cahoots with the media. thats how i think he hopes he will ultimately undermine credibility in this over time, whatever the outcome is. >> also, john, we got a little instance here of the media getting caught up in the con trail of the jet, right? everybody is getting caught up in the noise and the contradiction and the tweet versus the lawyer. this is a non-troversy, the idea of whether mueller is looking into is almost a forgone conclusion. m...
