people are sitting across from the president with such a list. counsel in the clinton whitewater and lewinsky investigation. you ve gone through these questions. inquiry from the people for robert mueller say this is trouble. dua agreo you agree? it s a sign that the president should not go in for that interview. if he were my client, i would advise him of that. this is a list of questions that is striking both in its breadth and in its detail. and in particular, it shows that mr. mueller has a very, very broadview of obstruction of justice which would worry me greatly if i represented the president. so i just want to go through a couple issues here. the president says there are no questions about collusion. actually, there s several. when did you become aware of the
for what that trump tower meeting was about. it was not about adoptions, as that first statement said. it was, in fact, they went into that room, expecting to be given dirt on hillary clinton. then, of course, there s the prospect of lying to the fbi, which we ve already seen two guilty pleas for. michael flynn and george papadopoulos. on that point, just to be clear, on the larger issue of meeting with the special counsel, the president last year said he would do it in a second. today, he was equivocal, one might say, on that point. but the fact is, it may not be his choice. he may be subpoenaed. president clinton was subpoenaed in the lewinsky investigation. it s possible president trump could be subpoenaed here. last june, he said, 100%, he would be willing to testify. based on everything you re hearing, you covered the white house for us. is he preparing for the possibility of having to sit down with mueller? it certainly didn t seem like that from his answer we heard today. th
living in a thriller, sort of manchurian candidate. when he was fired, did you know he had lied to the fbi? i knew that he lied to me. but these things take time. mueller started in may. i think, to say the least, it would be provoking a constitutional crisis. when he was in a tough stop, he would go after the press. things could get worse with the investigation. it doesn t seem there is an end in sight right now. is there already an obstruction of justice case to be made? no, i d wait for the special counsel. there hasn t been much discussion about helping the parties and campaigns actually protect themselves. we shouldn t participate in the undermining of our institutions that way. we continue to cooperate fully and everything that they ve asked for, we re anxious for it to be resolved, though. welcome back. as the former independent counsel overseeing the lewinsky investigation, kenneth starr knows a thing or two about investigating a president, and he has a
out the issues of whatever crime might have been committed by people affiliated with the trump campaign. you can t stop that investigation. that s under way. but certainly, the whole country would benefit from looking at what is russia up to, and more importantly, how can we stop them. susan, is it the republicans fault? is it really on their shoulders, as we look at the lack of bipartisanship on the hill? well, to some i think more so in the house nan the senate. in the senate, we ve seen much more bipartisanship when it came to the hearings. we see in the house that they re trying to play a little bit more to the political opportunities in their inner cells there. just to echo what jill said, it is critically important that we have an election in this country in 11 months, less than 11 months, that people feel safe and secure in our voter system on election day. there are a lot of problems. and we have some bipartisanship seen on the senate side to get
of this country who cannot get over the fact of his own election. that s the part that i would say is kind of stunning. i mean, it s not just i mean, if you look at the last year, the attacking of fbi agents, the attacking of members of his own cabinet, he is literally every day getting in his own way and i think just reminds people of an investigation that he probably hopes would go away but is not going to go away every time he tweets and attacks public servants who spent 10, 20, 30, more years dedicated to protecting this country. it doesn t make any political sense. but to be frank, i m not sure anything makes political sense when it comes to the president. i want to get to that sally yates tweet that we just put up quickly here, jonathan, and that is sally yates, as you know, former deputy attorney general, tweeting this within the last 24 hours this on christmas eve? secret service, be on the lookout for three ghosts visiting mar-a-lago tonight. in reacting here to the
