as a former cia officer and fbi officer, how significant is it that mueller has impanelled a grand jury in washington? i think significant, not only because of the fact of the impanelling, but also because who mueller was. i spent four and a half years as his intelligence advisor, two words, speed and seriousness. people are worried about mission creep here, is this going to extent to blue dress, the old ken star investigation with president clinton? speed and seriousness. he s talking about potential subpoenas. that s pretty quick. in terms of seriousness, i don t think he s there to look for violations that are if you will 57 and 55 zone. if there is something serious that s well over the bar, in terms of inappropriate cooperation with russians, in terms of obstruction of justice, i don t think he s bringing these people together on the grand jury because he sees minor issues that he thinks are bumps in the road. this is an indication he s moving quickly, and he sees stuff that he
money, and he was very quiet in that regard which is a different kind of con artist and that s what made him so successful. was there something in particular that you and bob de niro worked on when it came to capturing that s pens? bob is a brilliant actor and latched on to that character and in very small ways, you know, he s able to tell you a lot, and he can do that interior type of thing very well. that s what makes him so compelling a guy. and one of the great performances in addition to de niro in the film is michelle pfeifer and ruth madoff remains contact with bernie madoff and she s generally known as a strong formidable woman and turning her into someone who is a little bit more differential. totally different than how she s.in the movie it almost seems like she gets smaller and
relatively quiet from republican officials on capitol hill in terms of their criticisms for behavior that in a democrat had done any of this, one of these actions, much less the last 15 that we ve report on in the last week, you know, there would be calls for hearings and impeachment, but still i think it s pretty quiet from republicans. i think there s two things going on here. they don t want to talk about this stuff anymore. they want to talk about their agenda. they for now have the house and the senate and the presidency and they want to try to refocus their members on that. that said, talking to members of congress on the hill this week, the other thing is they are waiting for the other shoe to drop. they saw the appointment of the special counsel as kind of this double-edged sword. great, there s someone that s going to handle this, above board, that we can tell our constituents that is actually taking this out of even our hands, but at the same time they know that bob muler i
summer and interviewed petraeus and his paramour broadwell in september or october. wouldn t they have an obligation to tell the president. the fbi worked for the department of justice. why didn t holder tell the president? that i can t answer you. but bob muler is an ethical and good man. and i agree with you. fromthere is no doubt in my mind he did advise the attorney general. it is called deniability. they went through fast and furious. i don t believe it i have been in washington us can pass information without a paper trail. there is no possible way the president did not know that general petraeus was part of manage going on with the fbi. there is no conceivable way. back to you again. and the fbi after petraeus resigns, they go in and
search warrant before they interviewed them. they know that. and muler is competent. something is going on here. nand of course, lute lout colonel tony schaffer. what does the men and women of the military think about the handling of the benghazi attack. and break doup the soap opera plague out in washington. can t wait to see this one. tereo
