redsent to put their client in that situation. he told the fbi that he did not have a conversation about sanctions when the fbi heard him talking about sanctions. but moving on from that, you re talking about a perjury trap of donald trump has nothing to hide and if he just tells the truth he has nothing to hide because of what i just described which is let s go back to the reason why we have a special counsel is because there was a charge that was collusion with russia. no one has a scintilla of evidence that there was or that mueller has any evidence of any collusion. now the question is it a fishing expedition to find anything, something. give me something on donald trump so that we can charge him with something, including what they charged mike flynn with, which is not perjury, it is saying one thing to one person and another version to the fbi that the fbi views as not similar enough. you can t lie to federal investigators. there s that.
opinion by prosecutor moore. he s doing a methodical job, this is going to fit into context in effect one or two or three pieces of a very large puzzle that he s putting together. unless there s a better answer than i don t remember, i forgot, then he s in trouble. let s talk about mueller s investigation. reportedly, he s looking into speaking with his british promoter ron goldstone who set up the 2012 meeting between natalia veselnitskaya and donald trump jr. and manafort and kushner and so forth. remind everyone what he can offer to this investigation? well, he was the link between the russian lawyer and the campaign. he was the contact. he was the one who made the approach and as we noted in the previous segment, you know, said there was dirt being offered as part of the russian russian government support for your dad. and rather than, you know, as we talked then, what we talked about when the e-mails came out, rather than the first action being going to the fbi and
his job is to allocate the budget for the investigation and if there are complaints about bob mueller to deal with those, but there are no legitimate complaints about bob mueller, doesn t have conflicts of interest and is conducting himself professionally. my concern is you take him out, put in someone else who didn t appoint bob mueller, what you ll see is attempt to fire the special prosecutor. that s the end game in all this. so let s talk about mueller because at this point he is now becoming a focus for even some republicans. i want you to take a listen to rick santiago aorum and the bag mueller carries into the investigation. take a listen. nobody has unimpeachable credentials. you come with baggage. i am not saying positive or negative baggage, he is an fbi guy. his job is to go out and find the bad guys and dig and dig and
investigation. let s talk about mueller. april, you can hear me, right? you had an earpiece issue. i can hear you now, yes. president trump was asked if he s concluded that firing mueller and rosenstein is not worth the political fallout. his response was, they re still here. that s not really closing the door on any future action, is it? no, it s not at all. this president offers knee-jerk reactions all the time, and as we remember, this president was thinking about changing the hierarchy of the justice department to make sure that mueller could be fired or that he would be restrained. this president is very upset with this investigation, and it just depends upon which way the wind blows, what happens at any moment in time. this president does not want this investigation to continue. and he s very upset and it s all about right now following the trail of money, which he does not like. and we know that because he did not even want to offer his taxes
will that defense fly when bannon speaks with the special council some short answer, no. a new report reveals the fbi literally knocked on his door last week to hand him a subpoena from robert mueller compelling him to testify before a grand jury. and been isn t the only one under pressure. cory lewandowski and rick dearborn are meeting with the house intel committee as well. let s debrief. joining me julia ainsley, also ken delanee lalanedelaney, andg. julia, you filed this report that talked about the fbi knocking on bannon s door to issue him a subpoena. lots of controversy from yesterday when he wouldn t answer questions in front of house intel. what struck you in that briefing just now? so i think it is the idea of where they are trying to draw the lines on executive
