u.s. strike on pro regime forces who had previously conducted an unprovoked attack had russian casualties as well as syrians. watch this. syria, now a handful of weeks ago the russians met their match. a couple hundred russians were killed. and the secretary of state nominee also broke with the president when asked this question about russia. this morning president trump tweeted out that much of the bad blood with russia is caused by the fake and corrupt russia investigati investigation. do you agree with that? the historic conflict between the united states and the soviet union and now russia is caused by russian bad behavior. will you argue that we need to go ahead and implement the rest of these sanctions in a way that holds russia accountable for its interference? yes, ma am, every day. and if i make take just a moment. please.
saying this is what we have now. did mueller we re contorting time here. time in an investigation conducted by someone with the stature of mueller and the deep team he has, time can indicate they are finding more and more. not that they it s going on a long time. you know what, the democrats raised that during the clinton administration. it s payback time, right? no. it s not payback. the reason that people are doing this is because actually there s been real stuff that has come out especially on the obstruction case. we know that he said that he fired comey over the russia investigation. certainly on the obstruction. people have plead guilty in this investigation. nothing to do with the russia
thank you. thank you. i want to bring in the panel here. how big do you think this rick gates news is? number one we don t know. this is very much blind man in the el vants with everything we learn. we get this trickle of hints and tea leaves and suppositions. there s a lot that s very suggestive about this development. we don t know what it means. we won t know. what we do know is the way mueller is proceeding is very methodical and it s what trump feared, nothing is off limits. he s casting a wide net. he s following the investigation where it leads him and he doesn t consider anything to be out of his purview. i think what we see is that this is suggestive of an investigation that is wide ranging. we don t know, jeff, what gates has said to mueller. we don t. we don t know what the part-time
matter. you have control about whether you speak to mueller or not. it seems to me that he is heading in the direction of not talking to mueller at all. he s laying the ground wroor for that. he s laying the ground work for saying there s no justification or taking the fifth saying this is a bogus investigation and i don t want any part of it. i think there s an inner conflict for trump here. i think there s a part of him that feels he can talk anybody into anything and can talk himself out of any situation. the only way trump will talk to mueller is if he has something on him. he doesn t. we have been talking about this week after week. how long has this been now. i would just say you have three more months and then oit s over. it s been 15 months. it s not as if they are holding weekly press conferences
