while this may be the end of manafort s legal battle with mueller, the question hanging over all of this will be whether trump will step in at some point to shorten manafort s sentence with a pardon. trump has refused to rule out such a move. house democrats have been paying close attention to this. today intelligence chairman adam schiff wrote this warning, and we quote, congress is investigating reports that trump and his legal team privately dangled pardons to obstruct investigations, including ours. this is all unfolding against a backdrop, as you know, of mounting anticipation over mueller s report on his investigation or whatever he is prepared to say. as the new york times reports, it is, quote, unquestionably one of the capital s most anticipated documents since the starr report on president bill clinton arrived by the truckload on capitol hill september of 98. this week may yield some clues to mueller s next steps. just this evening, we learned that attorneys for michael fl
the only thing worse than putting the country through the trauma of impeachment is putting the country through the trauma of a failed impeachment. that s off the table right now. we ve got a lot of research that we still need to do. and right now, we do not have a bipartisan situation. i think nancy pelosi is smart to say that there shouldn t be an impeachment because there is no grounds to do it. nancy pelosi said that impeachment of president trump is just not worth it. do you agree? i agree. i think that we both believe that the mueller report we should wait for the mueller report. now, at the same time there are house democrats who say they plan to press for action against the president. i don t think that we should allow an unfit president to remain in office. the right thing for a country that has a president who is causing harm to society is to remove him from office. this is what the framers of the constitution intended. but listen to this from a former fede
possibly scheduling a sentencing date because he may be required to testify in another case. prosecutors in the special counsel s office also say that flynn s cooperation with the mueller team is complete. they are taking no position on flynn s request for a sentencing delay. we ll get into this in a moment. mueller s cases involving roger stone and rick gates are also set to get updates over the next few days. earlier on this network, the man who wrote the special counsel regs explained what he believes mueller is still focusing on. even if the president has a right to generally fire people, he can t do it for a corrupt motive. so i suspect that s what mueller is really looking at on the obstruction piece. and you re right to say there is
a deal to cooperate with mueller s team. that deal was shredded when mueller s prosecutors found that he had been lying. tomorrow judge amy berman jackson could hand mr. manafort up to ten years in prison. her decision will come just days after the federal judge in virginia sentenced him to less than four years for bank and tax fraud. while this may be the end of manafort s legal battle with mueller, the question hanging over all of this will be whether trump will step in at some point to shorten manafort s sentence with a pardon. trump has refused to rule out such a move. house democrats have been paying close attention to this. today intelligence chairman adam schiff wrote this warning, and we quote, congress is investigating reports that trump and his legal team privately dangled pardons to obstruct investigations, including ours. this is all unfolding against a backdrop, as you know, of mounting anticipation over
said that they have planned out for a number of contingencies based on what the mueller report may ultimately contain and what mueller may find, and they re going to be ready to sort of execute on that from a public relations standpoint. they have given it some thought. but i should tell you, i was over in the west wing this afternoon spending some time with officials there, and folks were much more transfixed by this college admissions bribery scandal than by the anticipation for the mueller report. there is sort of a strange disquiet in the west wing where we would normally think they d be on pins and needles waiting for the mueller report, and a lot of these aides weren t giving it a whole lot of thought, feeling like they re powerless to do anything until the report comes out. they ve of course gamed out what they would do based on what mueller may find. but at this point, they ve all gone in for their interviews. the president has responded to those questions, and it s all in mr.
