Not allowed to pursue leads of allegations, we ll do that ourselves. but at the end of the day, we want to make sure we leave no stone unturned when it comes to protecting the country from people who may be compromised. let me just pressure you on that a little bit. should we expect open hearings involving other members of mueller s team? i wouldn t rule it out. you know, we think that today s hearing was very powerful and very important in bringing that report to life and hearing it through mueller s own words. and we look for other opportunities to do that, too, on some of the counterintelligence questions that may be more difficult, particularly if it involves ongoing litigation or classified matters. but where we can, we would like to do hearings like this in public that help inform the nation of the changers that we face. yeah, i think if we learned anything today, it s about the power of an open hearing. i know that in the intelligence committee, you have to do a lot of thi ....
Campaign. so, did mueller look at trump s taxes or didn t he? and shouldn t someone, given what mueller just said about the financial basis of trump s compromise by russia? i mean, if you didn t think this was urgent before, it was weird, right, this is the first president to not release his tax returns, and it has been interesting to see democrats pursue them and a fascinating legal matter at this point, but it s never been a more urgent manner than it is today, after mueller directly linked the president s compromise to russia to the foreign entanglements and the business pursuits that he secretly maintained concerning the government of russia that he lied about, that russia knew about and that russia could expose at will. now, given that new urgency around the president s taxes, i should tell you that literally eight minutes after the close of the mueller hearings today, eight minutes after the second hearing was adjourned, the president filed an emergency writ in federal court to t ....
Congressman adam schiff. i know today must have been exhausting. i really appreciate you taking the time to be with us tonight. great to be with you. so you probably know by now that i m somebody who follows this story closely. i have read the mueller report. i paid as much attention to this story as i think is humanly possible. even still, robert mueller, to my eye, covered a bunch of topics today, particularly in your hearing that i never expected him to touch. i feel like he sort of cracked open some new avenues of investigation. did you learn new information today from mr. mueller that you didn t know before heading into today s hearing? you know, it wasn t so much i think for those of us on the committee new information and some of us have seen the more complete versions of the report and have a better window into some of the other issues, but it was just new and fresh hearing it from him. and you re right, he did go beyond the report. the report doesn t talk about the lack ....
Block his taxes from being released in new york state. an emergency writ, eight minutes after the hearing wrapped up. nervous much? the other thing i think that nobody expected today from robert mueller was his blunt accusation, his blunt assessment of what the president did with regard to russia, when it came to them releasing the stolen material that they had hacked from the democrats to try to benefit his campaign. if we could put up slide six, this just came out, wikileaks, i love wikileaks, donald trump, october 10th, 2016. this wikileaks stuff is unbelievable. it tells you the inner heart. you got to read it. donald trump, october 12th, 2016. this wikileaks is a like a treasure drove. donald trump, october 21st, 2016. boy, i love reading those wikileaks, donald trump, november 4th, 2016. ....
On his staff. we ll talk about this later on. but i think one of the outcomes of today s hearing is going to be a renewed interest by congress in hearing from the people who were on mueller s team and did the work beyond the sort of distant figurehead figure of mueller himself, which was revealed today by his sort of surprising affect. the second thing that i think sort of comes out of today s hearing as an imperative and i think we re already seeing come out of the hearing today will be a renewed focus, at least by democrats, on figuring out the money side of it. figuring out the financial side of it, because all day long today, again, much to my surprise, robert mueller affirmed the money stuff. he affirmed the financial motives of the president and his closest advisers that led them all into compromising positions with russia. but when it came to following those financial paths in his investigation, following the money, it seemed from mueller ....
