obstruction of justice for the special counsel investigation, but you generally don t lie about things unless you re worried about hiding them, and if i put my investigator s shoes on i see that as spoke smoke. if i m the republican communications director, i don t want to believe that there was collusion here, but the trump family and those around that are acting like there was, and i think it will trip them up time and time again. we ve had to witness kushner amend security forms and adding more than 100 foreign contacts that he had, and most recently saying he omitted more than 70 assets that load up to about $10.5 million. so, tara, if congress is saying that there was any connective issue here, right? and these e-mails expose something, at least a meet and we don t know if anything happened afterward although both sides say there was no follow-up. is it best that they follow the money and that s going to be the
because the detonator malfunctioned. a 2003 plot to use ricin was linked to him. and the mosque has done a lot in the last decade to turn around its image. shepard: it has. let s bring in a cia military analyst, tara muller. thanks as always. thanks for having me. shepard: reading a lot about this mosque. it was a problem place associated with problem people and was on the wrong side of where you want to be. that said, in recent years, it has become a very tolerant place from everything you read. a lot of political candidates have gone there. in addition, they helped out a lot of people after this fire last week. sounds like the kind of people you want on the side of the good guys, not alienating. you re right. this mosque is an example of transformation, from a mosque that had extremist ties to a mosque that was transformed. we see that in the heroism of
out hatred and calls for violence. preventing those and having individuals like we saw call out and condemn those type of services. so it s very important to focus on that and law enforcement and first responders training to if the attacks are in motion, quell them before they wreak more havoc. shepard: thanks, tara. thanks again. shepard: one of president trump s attorneys says the president is not under investigation and then says he is under investigation after the president said i m being investigated for the firing of the fbi director. now the president s legal team is on the defensive, trying to explain what he meant. we ll explain why none of that part matters at all. that s coming up. it s just a burst pipe, i could fix it.

hundreds and hundreds of germans who have gone to syria, come back. each one of those people takes 25 or more people to follow, if you re going to follow them 24-7. not to excuse any of this, but this is a resource problem, as much as anything else. what do you think, tara, that german authorities need to be looking at, at this point and what they are looking at to try to track him down? sure. they were at some of the known places he frequented today. so i m sure they re trying to uncover anything he left in those places, talking to individuals they might have already arrested that may have ties to him. and what s critical in these cases is if they can recover anything like a laptop, a cell phone, all those records to work out the individuals he s in close contact with and who might know those people. and then evidence that was left at the scene of the actual attack, which will allow them to press the actual charges when
