mueller, in the indictment of 13 russians, has already charged a conspiracy. it s conspiracy to interfere with our electoral process, one part of it. okay. the collusion could here apply to people like manafort or others. if they conspired, agreed, worked with, helped, facilitated, aided and abetted what they were doing on social media or democratic e-mail hack, they should shall charged as part of that conspiracy. and, garret, the fact that i don t want to brush over this the fact that it s the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein, who has been criticized many times by trump and others, you know, he s overseeing this because sessions recused himself. he s the guy who gave mueller the green light to look into this. that s also a big deal. yeah. and i think, you know, as mimi was laying out there, we can also assume that mueller must have presented some interesting
and mueller s team warns this should serve as an example for what happens when you lie to investigators. this comes as wee get a bombshell from the special counsel himself. attached to a brand new court filing right here shows mueller was explicitly authorized to investigate whether paul manafort colluded with the russians, green light coming from directly the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein. joining me now, distinguished fellow in criminal justice at pace law and author of the threat matrix inside mueller s fbi. garret, first up to you, the fact that we re learning about this in these court documents and not through sources. why is that significant? well, what s significant about it is, you know, bob
when they have no collusion and no one has found collusion at any level, it seems unlikely you would have an interview. i m looking forward to it. is there a date set? that s no collusion whatsoever, no obstruction whatsoever and i m looking forward to it. do you have a date set? they re two to three weeks. i have to say subject to my lawyers and all of that but i would love to do it. let s bring in cnn contributor garret graff, war on global terror author. there s at least one of the lawyers, ty cobb, the low man on an island saying no, we should fully cooperate with team mueller. what do you make so far on the legal team s advice?
we know that bob mueller knows that there s a lot more to this that he hasn t told us yet. totally agree. garret graff, thank you very much. appreciate it. my pleasure. next, more on our breaking news. backlash erupting over democrats, chief of staff remarks on dreamers, suggesting that thousands who never signed up for daca are lazy. another ominous sign in immigration negotiations. we ve got that also an nfl player tragically killed by a suspected drunk driver and now president trump is seizing upon the driver s history of deportation to push his own immigration agenda. we ll get the facts behind this case. if you ve been diagnosed with cancer,
the integrity of the entire investigation. but this is a rush to action. it is not a rush to judge this it is instead of a deliberate attempt to judge the totality of circumstances. we d like to see this under the light of day where members of congress are allowed to do this. but instead, we rush some material, which is basically a lie and it s misleading and it s inappropriate. and it hurts our national security. let s get some perspective now from phil mudd. former senior official at the fbi. also garret graff. the author of the threat matics inside robert mueller s fbi. saying that devin nunes altered this memo after it was already voted on. did not tell anybody else. nobody voted on the new version of this memo. and,0 now that the white house s a memo essentially that only devin nunes knows the changes of or knew the changes of and was not the draft that was voted on.
