point that people are going to believe what they see. you wanted to jump in quick? we could read that steele dossier for fun. show you how boring my life is. it was a raw intelligence product, didn t purport to be a finished document and it is remarkable. there s your homework assignment. thank you all. up ahead, michael cohen admits he lied to congress. could there be others inside the trump inner circle that did, too. adam schiff believes there are. he joins me next.
taints him in terms of his value to the special counsel. if you have a huge volume of financial documents and manafort is saying this is how to interpret this document, this is who was the player on this decision, this is what was happening during the campaign, and then the mueller team can triangula triangulate, get other witnesses and documents to confirm what manafort is saying, i think as a witness a defense attorney is going to go after him, but as an investigator the kinds of color commentary he can provide on things like documents is really still valuable. i doubt he will be providing any more of it going forward given where things stand right now. david gregory, the president has handed in his homework assignment, he answered the questions, the written questions, that were given to him by the special counsel about alleged collusion. i just wonder if you are the president and his legal team how you re looking at this right now given that the special counsel just said, do you k
that is a pretty easy homework assignment in most instances. there have been arrests, trials, some indictments, but there really from what i can see, hasn t been anything that connects sort of obstruction of justice or the white house themselves, president trump, dealing with the russians. you have russian folks that mueller and company are looking for, that probably will never come to this country to face that justice. other peripheral players, if you will, what does this tell you if we are near this and it could happen before the end of the year? well, i d like to see whatever the report says. i m assuming a written report sees daylight, strong likelihood the report chronicles how bad russian attempts are, that doesn t mean people are colluding with them. the first indictment the team came up with said unwitting connections to the campaign. it may stay that way fso, not a bad day for the president.
announcing they are ready for michael flynn s sentencing in the near future. there is still litigation going on behind closed doors, it sounds like, but talking end of the year as opposed to end of next year. the president has every right to announce he s done with his homework assignment and tired of see thanksgiving go on. probably has a little shelf life left before it finishes up. james, the way this was established, there won t be back and forth, mueller gets the answers, he has to live with them, he doesn t ask another round, can t send another traufrn of questions, can he? he can always try. i have to think it has been negotiated away by the president s team or that even in the most aggressive of moments, the mueller team would realize it will be a dead end. that is part of the win for the approximate the on this issue. he can answer questions with platitudes or broad comments and know there is not going to be any form of cross-examination or detailed follow-up.
submitted? president trump: very soon. i don t know what the timing is but i finish them. so you are submitting president trump: by the way, it wasn t a big deal. the questions were asked and answered to. they are making it like i had meetings for many, many i got the questions, i responded, we wrote them out, i read them once, i read them a second time, we made some changes, that s it. very simple. bret: the homework assignment this done, president trump turning in his questions to special counsel robert mueller, ending this portion of the q and they submitted to the president. the president s attorney: come of this remains our position today, the president has nonetheless provided
