deputy attorney general. and so it is one united department of justice but working throughout the country. and i think it s very difficult to remove the case because it s dispersed among many offices. rod rosenstein has signaled he ll leave when the mueller probe finishes up. if they find other people who could be targets. what do you think of the trump organization piece to this? we have all this trump tower stuff, the southern district going after the russian lawyer there. if there were other things mueller doesn t think are a conspiracy to defraud the united states or collude, do you think that he might still look at or encourage these other offices to pursue them? yeah, i think that is quite possibly why president trump was so interested in the southern district of new york u.s. attorney back in december 2016 as all of the activities of the trump organization located there in new york. and so it would be that office,
statement about the june 2016 meeting at trump tower. let s listen. i m not going to be rushed into having him testify so he gets trapped into perjury. and when you tell me that he should testify because he s going to tell the truth and he shouldn t worry, that s so silly. it s somebody s version of the truth, not the truth. he didn t have a conversation. truth is truth. i don t mean to go it didn t truth. truth isn t truth. rudy giuliani said so much that that actually wasn t the one i was looking for. but that s okay. we can talk about that. truth isn t truth. he was trying to explain to chuck todd why he s hesitant to have trump go through with an interview, particularly as it relates to the trump tower stuff. but in any case, the fact is he s trying to explain the truth isn t truth. this is kind of like alternative facts. it s just kind of it s pretty cut and dry. when you spoke to federal investigators, there s no oath that s needed. you re talking with them.
