i think is going right to the president i think robert muller is is pursuing both tracks. the collusion possible collusion with the russians not proven yet and possible obstruction of justice also not proven yet but i think what we've seen in the little bread crumbs if you will that mahler mahler has dropped along the way that's what is leading to a serious criminal case against the president of the united states reading that michael flynn document as i read it if i were donald trump i'd be nervous any where do you think it's going. well so far you know hold on to your hat bill frezza right barked and the president has not been tweeting about michael flynn and summer is basically because lawyers told him you know zip it that this can get you in some more legal jeopardy but the big question is in this report well there actually be a criminal referral to any of these you know top lieutenants and from the trunk campaigner in the trunk administration or will the special counsel opt to issue a report that he then hands off to congress and congress then can decide whether or not

muller the former f.b.i. director who is now leading the justice department special investigation into alleged russian interference and he is he more than anyone is beloved by liberals as a hero who is going to take down trump with the silver. bullet that just seems like it's so close but they can't quite get any continues to to feed this monster that is a total distraction from our devastating us foreign policy that continues to destroy countries today to get us all what it were to fit into that hole in the very rock and although i get colin powell i get to take it remind the viewers avoid where buller fits into that kind of trifecta where he testified under oath and should you know perjured himself that saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction and he should be held accountable for that but you know obviously like like all these other officials he's not there yet lying to congress and it's not that big a deal if i got by on or minor infraction as long as you're on the right party at the time what i won

but she did if robert muller i don't see how robert muller can conclude his investigate by the way the other thing the president said in that news conference with the prime minister of norway was there is no collusion no collusion no collusion everybody agrees everybody knows that's not true that robert muller has not made that finding yet and we don't know what he's got so trump keeps saying that is not true i don't see how muller can complete his investigation without talking to the president number one and number two i don't see how if muller the special counsel request a meeting with the president of the united states is the chief target of this investigation i don't see how the white house can refuse that i'm not a lawyer but i think they would have to come to terms with it maybe they'll try to limit it say it's got to be you know no cameras or it's got to be secret or only certain questions are allowed but i think you're going to see in the white house robert muller sit down with donald trump where do you see this whole thing going. ice here here's what my guess is and there's a

muller now are the following two tweets fueled media attention and questions the impartiality of the investigation led by miller he also claims that the program self is based on a quote fake dossier paid for by democratic rivals to remind you robert muller is an investigator leading the probe into alleged russian interference in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election is team is looking into a possible connections between trump and russia reporters i managed to question his potential firing directly for the president refused to be drawn in on the issue. right the thank you very much. but. let me why now trump didn't tweet about him that whole time even once until this week and see no cause when it comes to mr maule or he needs to be able to do is job independent of any political influence donald trump is gearing up to fire robert muller if you're innocent act innocent and right now he's looking like you know i want this over because he's got something to hide and that's a mistake we spoke to gina luden a conservative columnist and news commentator she believes that the molar is

muller investigation breaking today of thirteen russian special counsel robert muller investigation moeller indicted the russians thirteen russians not only operating overseas operating right here in the united states but given that those targeted are russian nationals with no worries about extradition to the u.s. no one expected the matter to go any further than media headlines but one company named in the indictment concord management and consulting seemingly called mahler's bluff by hiring d.c. attorneys who showed up for the arraignment the plea of not guilty or not you think a molar is office would be happy to finally have their day in court but no they tried to put off the hearing on the grounds that the defendant had been properly served which is amazing as being served is just a way of getting the opposing party to show up to court but given that lawyers for concord have done exactly that the judge ruled against that argument it seems borderline immoral to indict someone unless you can prove he's guilty of the crime they did it for one reason only muller needed some russian

muller the head of the f.b.i. so the media presents that this is because there trumps tweets of pressure on sessions when in fact the f.b.i. recommend that he go the inspector general report that sessions has been privy to from the d.o.j. also apparently is recommending that he go and don't forget that the head of the f.b.i. a couple of months ago demoted my cave based on what he knew mccabe had done and all you hear from the left and from the media is they treated this poor guy in my cable like junk and they took his pension away and now you've got democratic congressman stepping up and saying oh he could come work for me so he could get his pension it is a world god mad well you know steve i have to wonder and this is a real question can you draw a federal pension if you're in jail because that's where he belongs. let me let me go let me go to bruce here let me go to bruce here i actually i stole that line from ray mcgovern and wonderful piece that he wrote yesterday. bruce you know what we have now is you know

servers it's believed does that mean that special concert robert muller somehow did . it's possible that he did in the. investigations like this america has many things to be proud of than we used to used to be possible to say but are just a justice system for neither foul nor favor with somebody because of his or her political persuasion under barack obama maybe arguably before that that has changed the well connected in this country seize on to opportunities to forge relationships with either major political party this investigation of russia gate into the very beginning screams and reeks to high heaven and it's in frankly an embarrassment and i think it's reached a point where robert muller has to put up or shut up and even after he gets done doing that after the thing winds down the american people on the russian people in the wider world deserve to understand whose interests are being served by heightening tensions between the united states and russia who is benefiting from that i don't think the russian people benefit i know the american people don't benefit i th

muller was head of the f.b.i. and did missed all of this clinton foundation for aught when he was head of the f.b.i. so it's just it's really an embarrassing chapter i gree with the. this needs to end and the people who got this trial together the show trial together rod rosenstein mahler and others the tables need to be flipped yeah and some believe that most primary goal in the trial is simply the pressure and money for it so he would provide information about rushing collusion with the trump campaign how do you see it playing out i actually think you know this is an enormous waste of money in my view it is a gross miscarriage of justice it's setting for a lot of bad precedents and so it must be corrected i think in the end this trial judge judge ellis is a remarkable individual he's being very tough on both sides but particularly on mahler i think the metaphor is likely to skate here i think that the special counsel is likely to be told to stand down and then i think there's going to be a wholesale housecleanin

muller who is carrying out the investigation into alleged collusion between the trumpet ministration and russia it appears that william barr has called for a what he says is a more balanced investigation team regarding that effort so both of these appointments will have to be confirmed by the u.s. senate and as we saw with kavanagh in the supreme court confirmation hearings in the era of trump the confirmation hearings aren't always as smooth as some would expect. president putin has been hosting the greek prime minister today in moscow the told so with an axis of prospal it was a tense summit between the two countries when greece expelled two russian diplomats over allegations of and demining national security at medina caution of the details despite the diplomatic fallout between the two countries and the semi when greece expelled to several russian diplomats this friday. and the kremlin prove that their relations between the two countries are in good shape. they both leaders touched upon a number of issues including economic and energy call peroration a greek prime minister's tras

as robert muller's investigation applies pressure to michael cohen and paul mann a fourth president trump seems to be sending them a message these people these things get cleaned up. for did it. reagan did it carter did it. clinton did it and bush did in political investors so you're saying after the probe is over it may be cleaned up with any people run fairly prosecuted. the president recently pardoned controversial filmmaker dinesh d'souza and hinted that he's considering pardons for martha stewart and rod blagojevich both former contestants on the apprentice mass incarceration in the usa remains an issue we have more people in jail or prison than any other country more than russia and china come binds why let's ask dr nas gould. senior research analyst at the sentencing project which advocates for policy reform through research and media welcome thank you very much great to be here the u.s. a prison and jail population has grown five hundred percent in the last forty years although your organization is a nonprofit some children prisons are now for profit does that figure and it defini

muller are you concerned. i'm not concerned i want the truth to come out i i hope that he is truthful with the special counsel but here's kind of the interesting thing in terms of legally that it's taken away whatever leverage that anybody might have thought a pardon could apply because basically if he's cooperate with robert with mr mueller then a pardon doesn't really matter if you pardon him for his tax evasion or what are these other charges he's already he's already talking. jose do you think this is going to break anything big. it could i mean it's hard to tell there is so much things going on as to pertains to this investigations and i agree with amy i mean what we want us republicans democrats that we want to get to the bottom of this i want this whole investigation to to be over but it takes time so i i think robert mueller is doing an outstanding job i think he should continue to do it as a fast as we can. i think a lot of folks a lot of you know a lot of folks in washington were hoping that this inv
