FOXNEWSW Outnumbered Overtime With Harris Faulkner January 24, 2018

Will sit down with the counsel were told. The white house was asked whether the president would agree to an interview yesterday. Were going to be fully cooperative with the special counsel. Were going to continue to do that throughout the process. Were also not going to comment on who may or may not or could be interviewed at any point. Well continue to be cooperative with the process. As the story picks up steam, White House Correspondent kevin join us live. How Soon White House might make the president available to the mueller . The short answer is it depends. You well know fox news has been told repeatedly that the white house is really going to be very careful in how it characterizes what may happen in the days, or weeks ahead. They do say they believe that the investigation is in its final stages. Which means the conversation with the president could happen within weeks. This is important. During the special counsel has spoken to a number of officials, theres a sense here there could be that slow walk toward an obstruction of justice case which no one in the administration or certainly not in building wants to see reach the president. Now all that said, white house officials remain fully committed to cooperating with the special counsel. The president want to see this end. He wants to see them finally come to the same conclusion that i think most everyone in america has that there is nothing to this. Most of you spent a year looking, digging, obsessing to find something. Frankly this administration, we said it time and time before, there was no collusion. Theres nothing to it. Were ready to move on. Clearly the American People are. My guess is some of you are probably tired of talking about it as well. Hopefully well get to that point soon. Remember this all started out as so called collusion case which coincidencally solution is not unlawful depending on how this plays out. It has expanded and it has grown. It has collected pair of guilty pleas and indictment. Well have to keep and eye on where it goes from here. I want to point out, those guilty pleas, indictments, those have nothing to do with klaus collusion or trump transition or Trump Campaign. What are the restrictions the white house might demand . You can probably ask the judge there. Its whatever the white House Attorneys can get the special counsel to agree to. Whatever you can negotiate usually works best in legal circles. In circumstances like this. Lets be clear as you pointed out, the president would like to have the maximum protection from any possible exposure. What that means is, he probably want the conversation such as it is, maybe partially written unrecorded and certainly not under oath. You pay recall this, the president cited the conditions under which Hillary Clinton was interviewed during the big email scandal. That his team may want to follow. There is no indication that the special counsel would agree to those term. However, they would certainly like to talk to the president. Well have to see if that happens here. I think another interesting nugget to throw you away for consideration, will we hear about it . We didnt hear when the attorney general Jeff Sessions had his conversation. Might they sort of whisk the conversation with the president day a or b and we find out about it later. We dont know. Well hear about it. We did. It didnt happen contemporaneously. Thank you very much. Lets get into insight where Robert Mueller maybe headed and whether the president should submit to questioning. I will bring in former Deputy Assistant attorney general under president george w. Bush great to see you and professor of law at the university of california at berkeley. What to do with this hyperrentlating hyperventilating. We knew this would come. That last step of the investigation is for the president. Its president who really is a heart of the investigation. I actually think President Trump should welcome the opportunity to speak with mueller and try to accelerate it. After hes done, that will wrap up muellers probe. You think it is . The way federal prosecutorrers work, they work from the ground up. They really only interview the people at the top. When they feel they have all the facts, notice when ken starr took the special counsel investigation of white water, he didnt interview president clinton until the end. This is a good sign for the white house because this means that the probe by mueller will wrap up hopeful in less than a year. Light speed. Talking about the pickup, increase in activity just of late what you make of it . Good question. I think now were finally starting to see where the investigation is going. Ive always said this, i dont really see the facts for any kind of crime between the Trump Campaign and russia. The collusion is not a crime. Conspiracy is a crime. Were not really seen the facts for that coming out. What mueller is doing and the people identifying for questioning, hes going to focus obstruction. Thats why hes interviewing people in government. If hes going after conspiracy, hell be interviewing more people from the campaign before trump became president. I want to pop this up. It talks where americans are in all of this. 8 in 10 say that the president should testify under oath for mueller if asked. If you toga that . Judge napolitano our guest last hour said the president should avoid this like the plague. Do you agree . Do you think its a good idea for the president to say what you know . Im afraid i disagree with mr. Napolitano. I think it would be a big mistake actually for President Trump to raise executive privilege. Its not clear actually that he has a claim. This is a same claim. Same thing that nixon did. One lesson you have if you work on scandals is do the opposite what nixon did. He went to court to refuse to turn over the watergate tape and he lost. If President Trump were to try the same, under Supreme Court case law, he would lose. He doesnt have a right to keep president ial conversations secret from bon fide federal investigation. Trump can fire mueller. Hes allowed to fire mueller if he thinks hes going too far. The investigation will continue. Best thing, welcome questioning, try to have it done as soon as possible so you get the probe wrapped up. President trump can return to fighting about infrastructure and immigration reform. John youre an interesting fella. I got just a couple more questions. I have to. What terms should the president and his attorneys agree to in terms of answering the questions by mueller . Mueller is a very experienced prosecutor. He was head of the fbi himself. He was attorney out here in san francisco. He is not going to want to let anything be written down first. Prosecutor wants to have the questions oral. He want to see where they go. Mueller is going to resist letting the president has lawyers to put anything in writing. President s lawyer doing great job. Theyre getting investigation done fast. What should they push for . I think what they should try to do is try to get everything down in writing that might cause perjury. Thats what theyre worried about. They got to try to see what other people say. Try to put down in writing so the president the president he speaks off the cuff. He doesnt speak in a prepared way. Thats really dangerous in Law Enforcement interview. He doesnt want to cause perjury by contradicting what other people says. Wow, former Deputy Assistant attorney general and the george w. Bush department of justice, we are grateful for your time today. Thank you. Well bring you back. My next guest believes the president could be in a precarious situation. We welcome Fox News Contributor and Senior Editor at the National Review joana goldburg. You heard john saying, you might want to try to get those things in writing if you can get it through. Whats your take on where we are in terms, you saw that poll that says the American People want the president to go through. What are you seeing in your reporting . Im delighted to find out that i might be a brilliant lawyer. I agree entirely what my friend john said. He was interesting. Hes a brilliant guy. I think hes exactly right. There could be absolutely nothing there to the collusion charge. There isnt a lot of there there. Theres some stuff other people did in that meeting and trump tower. Very little to no evidence donald trump himself secretly colluded with the russians. You can see how if you ever read a transcript of any one of the dozens or hundreds of interviews of donald trump has done, sort of fly off the cuff and say crazy stuff or wild stuff or combative stuff. That must terrify Donald Trumps lawyers. They want to contain damage. Can i step in there. I hear that criticism of the president. I have to say that there are time when he doesnt do that thats true. Its not like this is being telegraphed. They will get lead time whether its face to face. I want to run this by you. Some of the critics not so subtle. When it comes to criticizing the president. Heres a tweet from former ethics attorney to george w. Bush. Lets pop that up from richard painter. Trump had better tell the truth and nothing but the truth and much it will be face to face. Mueller does not accept answers to his questions via twitter. No more games and lies. Thats biting. Richard painter and the other ethics guy, theyve been sort of on a job for a while now about donald trump. Theyre all bought in. There are people on the the left and people on the right that are at 11 on 10 point scale or the Mueller Investigation or the all these strozyk page and techniciatex. Im a wait and see. Well see where the facts go. Well see what donald trump says. Well see what mueller presents. The problem still for donald trump is even if hes at most disciplined, he still doesnt know what mueller knows. There are lots of questions that mueller can ask that could just put donald trump in a precarious situation if he doesnt know what other people have testified to, what other facts a mueller has. Mueller starts asking questions about his business practices, that donald trump could call the thing off. There are lot of political pearls perils here. Are there any indication to you that this is a witch hunt . I dont think so. My colleagues here fox news say otherwise. There are people all over the place who say otherwise. President says it. Some of these people are my friends and colleague. I think a mueller got a strong reputation for being an honest and patriotic guy. I think he would not feel like hes been a failure if he ends up exonerating the president. Is that true of everybody whos working for mueller . That remains to be seen. We did see some of these indications of partisanships. Trump bias when Text Messages are flying that theyre against the president. Also strozyk was fired the second mueller found out. This idea to discredit mueller. I think its unfair. Allen derschowitz he was on air, he was a fair and honest guy. I think thats true about mueller. Is it true about everybody who works for him . I dont know. You judge these investigations. Jonah goldberg, great to see you. White house appearing to back a gop push to release a controversial surveillance memo that proves antitrump bias at the fbi. But democrats say republicans are using classified information to create a Conspiracy Theory document. Should that memo be released . Do you want to see it .

Foxes alert courthouse signaling its support for realize of of memo that contains evidence the Obama Administration used fisa warrants to spy on the Trump Campaign. Heres White House Press secretary Sarah Huckabee sanders. We support transparency. As i said, yesterday and weve said many times before on a number of different issues, we certainly support that transparency. It sounds like there are some members in the house that have real concern whats in that memo and feel very strongly that the American Public should be privy to see it. The top democrat on the House Judiciary Committee congressman injuriry ilarry accusing the re. It is misleading document the classified material tell a very different story than the Conspiracy Theory concocted by chairman nunes. Lets bring in republican congressman matt guest of florida. You say go ahead and release that memo. Why . The American People need no know what their government has been doing. It is the hype of hypocrisy for jerry nadler say its misuse of classified information. We ought to show whats in the memo. Thats why we think transparency will be the corruption weve seen at the highest level of the department of justice and fbi. What part of the story are we missing . That will get from that memo . I have to think congressman, its going to be redacted. You will not release complete classified information into the bloodstream of america. The staff that prepared this memo was cautious not to expose sources or methods. Theres not a word of this memo that should be redacted. None of it would jeopardize national security. Two things i would instruct the American People to Pay Attention to, when they read the memo, i hope within the next couple of weeks, look at how information was authenticated. Its important any fisa not to prosecute a fraud on the court. The way that information is authenticated should be a specific area of focus. Second thing, take this memo and overlay it with the five months of missing Text Messages between Peter Strozyk and lisa page. These two were texting back and forth to each other more than a High School Cheerleading team. Theres a five month black hole. Thats going to be appropriate context when we got the memo and that five month hole. Lets talk about that little bit. When did those Text Messages go missing . Its very interesting. That same to be a dispute. Theres a december 13th letter from mr. Horowitz the Inspector General the fbi to senator ron johnson, saying i have all the Text Messages through the common of june. Only after that, do we hear from the fbi that theres a five month black hole in those Text Messages. Weve got conflicting information. Today ill be sending a demand to the fbi to find out where the phones are. What system in are they saying malfunction. What was th
