traveling south carolina late yesterday, william barr, as you mention, appeared to offer mueller and exit ramp. and if bob decides he doesn t want to be subject to that, the department of justice would certainly back him. mueller is scheduled to publicly testify next wednesday before the democrat-led house judiciary and intelligence committees. the 500 page report found no criminal conspiracy between the trump campaign and russia, but it did not exonerate the president on obstruction of justice allegations. at the same news conference, barr seemed to throw shades on house democrats were compelling mueller testimony. i was disappointed to see him subpoena because i don t think that serves any purpose dragon bob mueller up. if he s going to stick to the report. seems to me the only reason for doing that would be to create some kind of public spectacle. in may he gave his only public statement on the report findings and at that news conference he did not take reporter questions.
the prime people that i would be worried should be worried tonight because flynn and kushner were kind of a dog and pony team international. they were going to create their own you know, the breaking of the logan act, create their own foreign policy, cut their own deals places. israeli settlements were mentioned in the document released tonight. and i think we might have to separate michael cohen from flynn in the sense that flynn and cohen don t have a lot of interaction. but flynn and jared kushner had a ton of it, and it s not just donald trump that should be very worried tonight. it s a significant evening. but i think the pressure on jared kushner must be immense right now. let s talk about that separate criminal investigation. it says, flynn is also helping with a separate criminal investigation. that s to you, frank. any idea what that could be about? and the rest of it s redacted. you saw it. it s just like yeah, no. i mean i don t know what that is, but it sure is one
separate criminal investigation. it says, flynn is also helping with a separate criminal investigation. that s to you, frank. any idea what that could be about? and the rest of it s redacted. you saw it. it s just like yeah, no. i mean i don t know what that is, but it sure is one of the most tantalizing details. i think it s investigations plural, right? it says the defendant has provided substantial assistance in a criminal investigation. well, doug mentions jared kushner. i don t know if that s what it s about. but i think it s important to bring that name up because there was an alliance there. it s also important to note that michael cohen and michael flynn, both very close to the president at different times and in different ways. so they have different tranches of information to offer mueller and his team. michael flynn is not just someone who is a drive-by figure in the campaign. he was there for much of 2016. he introduced trump at rallies. he led the chants of locker
in on a lot of discussions trump had on a whole variety of issues, so the fact that he is fully cooperating and talking to mueller is a very important development, and it probably is one of the reasons we see the president continue to talk about trying to get rid of attorney general jeff sessions because he sees that, the president sees that as a way to try to derail the mueller investigation that seems to be closing in on more and more important information every day. considering how closely michael cohen worked with the president for more than a decade, do you think he can offer information that no other witness at least so far has been able to offer mueller and his team? oh, i m sure there are things that michael cohen knows uniquely among all the witnesses because of that relationship that he had with donald trump, and and he has agreed to cooperate fully with the mueller team and so this is a real a
witch hunt for the investigation of russian interference and possible collusion with the trump campaign. that s the extent i can go in discussing that, as well. reporter: it s unclear what if anything the former white house staffer could offer mueller s team. her comment comes in the wake of a racially charged controversy of the president. lowlife. reporter: referring to her today as a dog. the president out of public view instead taking to twitter saying, when you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break and a job at did white house, i guess it just didn t work out. good work before general kelly for quickly firing that dog. sanders insisted it was not racist. the president s an equal opportunity person that calls things like he sees it. he always fights fire with fire. reporter: she had an unusual character witness and said it s curious that racism claims weren t made until now. the person he says he is
