looking at a likelihood of more charges down the line. both the southern district case, dagen, and mueller s investigation, if you read these two documents that we got they talked about active grand juries i think they said that manafort, for example, was in the grand jury as late as november and the southern district also talked about pending investigations that are going on in the office that cohen s information was relevant to, so i think we re going to see more charges. dagen: when do you think the mueller report comes out? any idea? no, i don t think he s in as big a hurry as a lot of people seem to think. i do think it s winding down because a lot of these people who would be cooperating witnesses like flynn, for example, he s allowing them to be sentenced and as a prosecutor you usually want the cooperation to testify in court before you sentence them and the fact that he s letting flynn, for example, get sentenced indicates to me he s not planning any big proceeding that he t
could that showdown lead to a government shutdown right before christmas? joining me is california congress woman and the incoming black caucus chair. good morning, congresswoman. good morning. dagen: do you think that a battle over the border wall could lead to a government shutdown? i certainly hope it doesn t. it s completely unnecessary. there are several bills to pass, not just the one dealing with the border and those bills have been negotiated on a bipartisan basis. what needs to happen, we need to go ahead and pass the bills that would fund the overwhelming majority of the government and then one bill covering homeland security, we can do a continuing resolution, which means we keep the funding level the same and deal with this in the next congress. that s what we should do. and by the way, in that bill, there is funding for fencing related to the border to repair. the president wants an
team and he worked at the direction of president trump in arranging illegal payments according to manhattan prosecutors. what say you, congresswoman? well, first of all, i think all of these investigations need to continue and i wouldn t come to any conclusions, especially the one that guiliani came to, i have not read the documents, but in watching news conference yesterday it seems as though the president is implicated, but i don t think that we i think we just need to hold tight, let the mueller investigation come to its completion, and i think that at the end of this, that it will determine whether or not, or to what extent the president was involved. but from what cohen said yesterday, that the president directed these payments, remember, he said over and over again, that he didn t know anything about them at all. i say let s let the mueller investigation go to its completion. dagen: congresswoman i m going to follow-up with this.
investigations go. dagen: but andy i just, no continue and then i ll follow-up on that. i was going to say they ve ratcheted up the formal standard s of criminal it with a very technical standards of criminality in this investigation versus other investigations and i think what upsets people is the difference in the quality of justice that hillary clinton got versus what is happening to the trump campaign. dagen: right what you said that you were talking about the theory of russia s involvement in the election and how that morphed and then you see the screws being put to one individual after another, and finding a process crime to basically put pressure on these individuals, so that s another thing that really bothers people yeah, and, you know, the process crime here is different, i think, than other independent and investigations of administrations. for example, with respect to the
nadler does and then we also understood that when sessions was attorney general, he assigned a prosecutor, mr. yuber , in utah, to also have a look at all of this to see if there were criminal implications so i don t think this is over by any means. dagen: andy you were reading my mind that s why i was so excited you were on the show this morning. you were reading what i wanted to know before we have to go to break. andrew mccarthy, incredible as always thank you, sir. thanks, dagen. dagen: stocks falling off again with china acting up again. the dow and the s&p back in negative territory for the year. is there any relief in sight? and protesters out in force again in paris, four weekends in a row, even though french president emmanuel macron scrap ped the fuel tax that fuel their anger in the first place. we have a live report, straight ahead. all money managers might seem the same, but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. fisher investments tailors portfolios
