Windows weve had into how the mueller team is actually supervised in the justice department and how somebody in the justice department who had authority over them might be able to try to shut them down. just the first description weve had. and we get it directly from one of the top prosecutors working muellers case. weve got tape of it, i believe were the first to broadcast this nationwide. the first voice youre going to hear here is one of the judges on this three-judge panel. the person who an...

Robert mueller himself. and the other indictments and some of the other people who worked, those pleadings and those indictments have all been signed by what we would call a line prosecutors. thats a prosecutor thats working mueller that will actually be charging that case. in the 37-page indictment, mueller himself signed it. i mentioned that as a point of color, but obviously we have a lot of activity this afternoon with yet another person now cooperating with muellers team and one of the peop...

Who might be involved? and we do have these foreign people cooperating who could give a great deal of information to him. >> one thing that a former prosecutor said to me today is mueller at various points either for his own strategic purposes, almost always for his own strategic purposes and for the legal benefit of the case will reveal information, never to correct incorrect media narratives, but this may have an effect of correcting one of the media narratives we hear a lot which is that ther...

President. so i dont know who has the job of telling the president how to respond to news in this. in the white house i worked, i would be recused if that was me. it would be wise to take this former prosecutors advice to heart. i think rod rosenstein was not speaking to the nation in his press conference. he was speaking to the president because he said over and over again theres nothing in these indictments that suggests that anyone on the trump campaign knew, and there is nothing in these ind...

A candidate who welcomed their interference and certainly wasnt going to denounce it. >> congressman, its nicolle wallace. i know your committee has been investigating russian meddling as well. i shou i wonder if these indictments, which didnt have to be made public, but ive been told by a former prosecutor they were made public for strategic and perhaps legal reasons. but do they help the special counsel? do they help your committee try to put to get a conspiracy case, if there are people that ...

Happen. but theres always a chance, brian, always a chance that they make a mistake, they travel abroad to some country with which we do have an agreement, theyre taken into custody because we have lodged what can called a red notice through interpol, theyre arrested through that third country and they are extradited to the united states. again, i dont think any of those things are going to happen, but to my early point, this sends an incredibly important message, both to those people who broke ...

Nicolle wallace. youve had a chance to look through this. youve had a chance to talk to folks. ive heard this called an asymmetrical attack on the united states. like 9/11, it used our own system on us. >> yeah. general hayden called this a political 9/11 when describing the scope and the impact and the fact it was something we hadnt imagined possible. that was part of why it was possible. i talked to a formal federal prosecutor in contact with this white house who said he would make two things ...
