more tangential. one thing is safe to say, if you look at what mueller and his team have done to date, it s impressive. they re moving at light speed, putting together sophisticated cases, not just this but the manafort case and the flynn matter as well. and they re moving forward. this is a north south indictment and they re going forward. shepard: from all that i have read, it is absolutely certain, according to the indictment, that thousands and thousands of you that went to rallies across this nation in support of, in opposition to, if you went to rallies across this nation, many of those rallies, jeffery, were not set up by americans. they were set up by russians. promoted by russians, advertised by russians, paid for by russians and americans came to yell at each other at the russian at russian manipulation. if it wasn t so tragic, could
indictment and you should, the russians have engaged in information warfare to disrupt hour democracy. it s worth looking into. every time the prosecutors use the word defendant or defendants they follow it by co conspirators. we don t know if they re americans. we don t know if they re members of the trump campaign. we don t have any of that information yet. this is not over. there s much more to go here. there s two cooperating now there s three cooperating now. another about to cooperate. rick gates deal is about to come through and we ll know more. the russia investigation will continue and we will ask the question, the congress of the united states has said vladimir putin must be sanctioned for all he s done against the united states of america. the president has said no.
one year of looking endlessly and finding nothing, collusion is dead. this is an american disgrace. no, it s an american investigation and this is not a hoax. the russians interfered, the russians were given sanctions by the according. the president has not put the sanctions into place and why. now more on the robert mueller indictment for the russian internationals interfering in the operation. the president said there was no collusion and the outcome of the election was not affected. fox news cannot confirm these matters. these are answers that we do not have. let s bring in ken thomas, reporter for the a.p. we cannot draw the conclusions. we know the russians have been indicted. the white house is happy with this outcome. they feel it shows a timeline and which this happened in 2014 and that it started back then,
sanctions. the white house has refused to impose them. have they changed their stance on that after we learned that the russians have interfered? excellent point. it was president obama that upped the ante on the sanctions for the russian regime based on what they learned after the election. the trump administration has been hesitant to follow suit. given what we learned today from rod rosenstein it would seem to beg the question, if not now, when? shepard: kevin work in florida awaiting the president s arri arrival. coming up, more on the indictments regarding the russian interference. we ll speak with a reporter from the associated press with what the big take-aways here and what we don t yet know that could be important going forward. after all, this is not over. no conclusions can be drawn. the investigation continues with
