Good afternoon from the fox news deck in new york, im shepherd smith, theres breaking news in america across the Fox Broadcast Network today. There has been a new appointment and its a major change in the investigation in washington. Robert muller, whose ap former fbi director, has been named special counsel for russia investigation. This is a new position under the special counsel law, which was enacted back in 1999, since this in essence opens a new investigation into the activities of the russians as it relates to our election in 2016. And in addition, to possible collusion between members of team trump and the russians as they to work help team elected, and hurt Hillary Clintons chances of being elected. This appointment was decided this afternoon. And the decision was taken by rod rosen stein, whos the assistant now, and heres a quote from him. I determined that it is in the Public Interest for me to exercise my authorities and appoint special council to assume responsibilities for this matter. It goes on my decision is not a finding that crimes have been committed or that any prosecution is warranted. Ive made no such determination. That said, this is the restarting of an investigation. Remember, theres an investigation into the United States house, into the united the federal bureau of investigation issued a criminal investigation. Now we have the special council of course, this goes back a ways but at least to the firing of the fbi director james comey. James comey has now made the accusation that he wrote in trump asked him to halt the investigation into mike flynn a controversial member of President Trumps campaign, who was later made the National Security advisor, who was said to have had multiple contacts with the russians. Some under circumstances which have been questioned. Now there are questions about whether there were any criminal activities involved. No decisions, but questions about whether there was criminal activities regarding michael flynn. President trump is alleged to have asked that the investigation into that matter be stopped. If so, some democrats say thats tantamount to obstruction of justice. In other words, the president getting in the way of an investigation of his own campaign which can led Many Democrats to speak of the watergate issue in 1974, when president nixon was forced to resign after articles of impeachment came out and after he was accused of asking the fbi to halt an investigation into his campaign. Lots is being written about this but here, this is a respected man on capitol hill. Robert muller preceded james comey as director of the fbi. He was widely liked on both sides of the political aisle. Robert muller seen as law and order type person. There is no suggestion of any kind from those in authority now that crimes have been committed, but there seems to be widespread agreement that there is need that there is need for an independent investigation, not connected to any political activity, and now this office of the special council has been created first time weve heard language like that in a long time. Quoting jason shafitz who has been on the air and out front as these crisis been building, he says muller is a great selection impeccable credentials, should be widely accepted. The fact of the matter is, it will take us some amount of time for Robert Muller to get u investigation, already in the house and senate there have been demands for implies that may have been written. President trump wrote in a tweet and the white house refused to comment there may be tapes of the meeting. James comey describes the meeting as in the oval office. Just after general flynn had been fired. There with other high level members, including the vice president. And others. Everyone asked to leave the office by President Trump except cements, anand james comey. He asked if he could swear loyalty to him. According to comey, he said that he could not do that. But that he could promise honesty. It was shortly after that that james comey was terminated. And the obvious question is, did you terminate him because he refused to stop the campaign . Which purports to show some sort of collusion potentially with the russians in an effort to effect the United States election. How deep this will go is a matter for conjecture but our senior judicial analyst is on the live lines with, judge, upon hearing this, 6 00 eastern time, the news dropped on everywhere at the same time. Your unusual thoughts . My initial thoughts are almost identical with what congressman chafitz said. This is an extremely exceptionally absolutely neutral prosecutor who cant be fired by the white house and can go wherever the evidence takes him. The charge that he received is to investigate everything having to do with the allegations surrounding the president of the United States, his cpa any relationship to the russian, quote, and any related matters, closed quote. So he has a very, very broad, wide charge, hes extremely independent and exactly what people on both sides of the aisle have been calling for in the past two weeks, particularly in the past 48 hours. Where do you see obviously, as i said a moment ago, special counsel muller will need time to get up to speed. There are those in the republican side who are feeling like its time to rip the scab off this wound. In other words, whatever has happened, get it over with so they can move on to 2018 mid term elections i heard you describing that brilliantly on your 3 00 show this afternoon and i think you hit the nail on the head. Of the republicans want this over with sufficiently in advance of the 2018 election, the democrats would like it out. Guess what . Neither will be able to influence the timeline that bob muller will lay out for himself, that will be determined by the facts as he gathers them and resources that are available to him, and how quickly a grand jury can decide who they want to subpoena and who, if anybody, they want to indict, there will be no political time table with bob muller and i cant imagine there would be one with political influencing bob muller, this is a profound and significant step forward in the Law Enforcement community for the eventually resolution of all the controversy and all the allegations surrounding the trump president ial campaign and any involvement, if any, with the government of russia. We have no way of knowing whether the white house has anything at all to hide. No way. Excuse me. But what we can say is that the white hous to get information about these matters. They have not been forthcoming. Based on our observations in our daytoday work 24 hours a day. If youre at the white house how do you feel about this change . Well, if youre at the white house, you probably trust bob mullers intellectual honesty and ped ped agree but you no you have a serious tenacious, utterly independent prosecutor who will begin subpoenaing things from you almost immediately. Like tapes if they exist and memoranda or notes that the president or his own people have taken of his interactions and meetings with james comey as well as notes and tapes and any any electronic data that they have going back to 2015, which is the time period during which the, according to allegations unproven allegations, merely allegations, the relationship, if it existed at all, between the trump cpa you know, we had a blockbuster revelation from the washington post. Then yesterday, about this same time, blockbuster revelation from the new york times. Today, we have new information that the fbi former fbi director Robert Muller is special counsel for the russian investigation. Is it your sense this has taken a major turn this afternoon yes, it has, and its taken a major either nonor bipartisan turn, even the president s chief critics in the congress cannot complain about bob muller and even the president s staunch of the supporters cannot complain about him. This tells me that the hierarchy of the Justice Department has recognized that the relationship of the white house to the Intelligence Community and the relationship of the white house to the fbi some of which are just come out, 72 hour, is such that this can best be handled by an totally an independent investigation by a person with impeccable credentials. The white house will have to start hiring lawyers because the subpoenas will begin to deluge the white house as well as the transition. I dont know who still has those records, as well as the campaign. Judge andrew napolitan, judge, thank you, the breaking news is very significant. It happened at this time on monday, there was more breaking news at this time on tuesday and this afternoon, frankly were sitting around going . What could it be today . And now we know. There has been a major change in course of events in washington. The Justice Department tapped former fbi director Robert Muller as special counsel on the russia investigation. As you heard the judge say, widely respected as a man of law and order bush back in 2001. He was the director of the fbi before james comey was the director of the fbi and now hell be investigating whether there was collusion between the time trump and the russians as the russians metalled in our election and will be working to find out what the russians did, how they did it and how to stop them in the future.
