That all happening all at once. Maybe its a coincidence, maybe thats what happens when the charges start to get filed. They all interrelate. They must be at least some level read into whats going on in muellers shop, we would hope. This all looks like its designed to protect donald trump. Not get at the meat and potatoes of what russia did to us. I feel like so much of what were seeing is it to protect donald trump i dont know maybe im a little paranoid thinking that is disturbing. None of us are naive. But the part of it that i have been a little bit dismayed by is that its one thing for people who are partisans of the trump
administration or who are republicans and see it as their job to defend the president , to say, you know what, this collusion thing didnt happen. What russia did was terrible. We are against that. But Dont Try To Drag Donald Trump into this, dont try youre saying that he was involved in this to try to undercut his election. He won his election fair and square. And
thing, not a partisanship thing, that s the part that makes me sad. it s not sunday, but you can get an amen on that, sister. thank you very much. i will look forward to my besaturdays elled time machine. i am joy reid in for lawrence o donnell. we begin with that breaking news. cnn reporting that according to two sources briefed on the matter, the first charges have been filed in the investigation led by robert mueller, the charges are apparently still sealed under orders from a federal judge. we don t know who the charges are against, and we don t know what the charges are. nbc news has not confirmed this report, and no other news organization has confirmed it either. we can only go by what cnn is saying at the moment. a federal grand jury approved the actions.
