CNNW CNN Newsroom With Ana Cabrera October 30, 2017

Collusion he claims doesnt exist. And ordering republican lawmakers to quote, do something. Now following those tweets, white house attorney ty cobb wanted to make clear that, quote, contrary to what many have suggested, the president s comments today are unrelated to the activities at the special counsel with whom he continues to cooperate. I want to get straight to my panel. Crime and justice reporter, political analyst and White House Correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks and patrick heely. As we look ahead to tomorrow, it is important to note that mueller was building on intelligence from previous investigations. He didnt start from scratch. Yeah. While he didnt start from scratch, we do know that he ordered some of the investigators of the fbi agents to go back and look at some new information or perhaps go over the information that they already had because he wanted it his own way. As you just said, yeah, i mean the special counsel has been sitting on information that the fbi and other investigators have collected for well over a year since the fbi started this investigation which was way back last july. Before the election. All of that information has been sitting with the mueller and a special counsel team. And then since then really, theyve done a lot of their own work, brought in more prosecutors, but absolutely theyve been sitting on this and theyve had a lot of this information for months, for well over a year now. I want to make sure im understanding correctly because these indictments, theyre sealed. The person or persons who could be arrested tomorrow, they may not know right now that they have even been charged, meaning there could be Trump Associates who know theyre the focus of the probe going to bed tonight wondering if they could hear a knock at the door tomorrow, right . Yeah, i mean thats pretty wild to hear, but yeah, thats absolutely true. There could be people who are facing charges that dont know, and in the morning, Early Morning tomorrow, they will get a knock on their door from the fbi with an arrest warrant saying, hey, come with me, youre being arrested for whatever it may be. And then at that point, at some point within that hour or so, theyll be brought to an fbi office here in washington, d. C. Where theyll call their attorneys and the process will begin. But that is, you know, a likely scenario. You know, weve also been told that some someone may surrender. We dont know exactly whats going to happen, absolutely there is the possibility that someone is going to sleep tonight and has no idea that they will be arrested in connection to this investigation. April, the president isnt necessarily tweeting about robert mueller, but he is spending a lot of time tweeting about what he called a witch hunt and pointing fingers and democrats, his Attorney Says that was not about the mueller probe. It has hit a nerve with the president. Its touched a nerve. This president is very concerned, even though hes trying to deflect on twitter about whats happening. This is a very serious situation. And everyone was wondering when and if this would happen and its happening now before our eyes. We just have to wait and see. We just dont know who but it is something. This could be one of the major nails that some are looking for to nail a coffin shut. This could begin the process of something linking to russia. As we know the president often encourages his supporters to watch fox news, hes close with a number of anchors there including Jeanine Pirro. Listen to what she was pushing on her show this weekend. Its time, folks, its time to shut it down, turn the tables, and lock her up. Thats what i said, i actually said it, lock her up. So, we had a president that is getting increasingly unpopular with his socalled base. The latest polls if you take a look at the wall street journal nbc news poll today shows with White College rather, white people without a college degree, its down from 58 last month in just 51 approval. Now, still the majority, but thats not, again, the 58 that it once was and its dropped seven points. Now could this, what we just heard from judge pirro there and the president s tweets today really be focussed on changing the momentum here and trying to unite republicans along with a common folk. That is the that is the wish that is maybe the fantasy of President Trump and people like Jeanine Pirro that somehow if they say certain things enough, if they throw enough kind of red meat out the base, the base will just keep responding in this totally predictable way. You know, but heres the thing, i mean, President Trump said were going to be winning so much. Were going to be winning if you put me in office. The reality is, he has not had the kind of legislative victories that a president , republican or democrat would usually have in the first year in office. And instead, hes going on about how the stock market is doing so great, but that doesnt often help a lot of the white male people who lack a college degree, who arent in the market as much as some of those, you know, sort of wealthy supporters of President Trump. Look, he wants to be spending, any president would want to be spending his time right now focussed on his tax reform package on the asia trip. Supposed to be about. The asia trip thats coming up at the end of the week. Instead, he is going on twitter, Jeanine Pirro is going on fox news talking about Hillary Clinton again. Theyre not even talking about an agenda or things that could help those, those voters in the poll that you showed. Theyre not communicating, theyre sort of going in this wishful kind of fantasy that they hope, you know, will distract enough people probably from the big news thats coming april, republicans have started calling for muler to resign this week. Wall street Journal Editorial Board wrote this in a new oped, the Washington Post revealed tuesday that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National committee jointly paid for that infamous dossier full of russian disinformation against donald trump. Strip out the middlemen, and it appears that democrats paid for russians to compile wild allegations about a u. S. President ial candidate. Did someone say, quote, collusion . April, whats your response to that . Theres a lot going on. And theres a lot of questions circulating on all sides. Right now, this investigation is under way. And its got to play out. And thats what everyone said before. And it does have to play out. This investigation has to play out. Now, if they want to play another piece for Something Else, thats fine. But this investigation has to play out. And you cannot impede it because if you impede it, it makes it look like theres something wrong. So this investigation must play out. And when it comes to Hillary Clinton and their campaign, if there needs to be investigations, let there be, but this investigation has to play out. One key point to adam to aprils good point, the wreath journals owned by Rupert Murdoch and Rupert Murdoch has been one of the staunchest supporters of President Trump, they speak regularly. So an editorial like this is not exactly a shocker. Shi moan, you talked to justice officials regularly as anyone among them express concern the that the president might try to fire robert mueller. Well, theres always been concern, and even for people that the white house and his attorneys at the white house that, you know, the president would do Something Like that. It would create a whole new storm of controversy, but privately in talking to justice officials, really, theres always this concern that the white house was going to interfere or somehow tell them what to do and they really like to keep what they do separate from the white house. Even at the fbi. Much of this controversy thats ongoing now is because in some ways the white house, you know, not well, was communicating with the fbi inappropriately. Those Oval Office Meetings with comey that the president had. So theres always this concern that the white house could try to influence or could somehow interfere from people at the justice department, but publicly no one ever says anything to us. And also, you know, i think there is always going to be that concern. So what they did, this is why they have a special counsel. This is why the Deputy Attorney general appointed john muler to head this investigation. I think partially because of this concern. Patrick, looking towards tomorrow, what do you see as worst Case Scenario for the president in terms of who was indicted. Its the outer ring and inner ring of advisors. In terms if an indictment comes down as unsealed and it is someone who is still in President Trumps direct orbit, not a former Campaign Official or a former advisor, but someone who is in, you know, the inner circle or someone who hes still close to, that becomes a huge story. A huge distraction. You know, it becomes the headline that pushes off tax reform, that pushes off kind of the asia message that theyre hoping that this trip. You know, they dont know. I mean, to your point earlier, people are going to bed tonight and they dont know what theyre going to wake up with, and President Trump, you know, is so invested in this idea that he be cleared of any kind of collusion and for him hes wondering what does mueller have . He fundamentally doesnt know, what does mueller have . And is what hes going to have sort of start changing the narrative about collusion . Right now no definitive evidence. You know, were going to start seeing those details come out. April, i read ty cobb told the New York Times in fact this weekend that the president still hasnt been asked to speak with Robert Muellers team. What is the best Case Scenario for the president this these indictments . The best Case Scenario for the president with these indictments is that none of his Family Members are indicted. I think thats the best Case Scenario for him. Because if his Family Members are any Family Member, be it inlaw or blood, thats earthshaking because stost close to the president. And it makes you wonder even more what did the president know . So, thats the best Case Scenario i think that no Family Member would be indicted. You know, you just we dont know. And mueller has information, he has had a broad scope and we know he was able to touch finances, hes touched so many different areas. Hes talked to so many different people. People that we know, people that we dont know. So it just im going to speculate. Were hearing Different Things and names in washington. I dont want to put it out there, but i just want to wait and see and listen to what mueller has to say. All right, thank you all. April, patrick, shimone, we appreciate it.
