but i think where we are if we take the fisa warrant which started in june of 2016, we re now a year and a half since that fisa warrant, and i just haven t seen any demonstrated evidence of real collusion. doesn t the smoke warrant an investigation? and that s what s taking place. what we ve seen is a partisan food fight, which is what always happens when you do these types of investigations. look at benghazi. you have mueller and what he s doing. and you have some honest senators who will actually saying the truth that they see. i respect senator feinstein, she s from my home state. she s a good senator. and when she s saying we ve seen having been a spokesperson and advisor to her, i would be careful speaking the reality is we ve seen this going on for a very long time. it s worth noting on the idea one of the things we
president s lawyers. they wanted to get a sense of where mueller s inquiry is going and more importantly get some indication of how much longer this cloud of investigation is going to hangover the president. even since the meeting we have continued to see optimism from the president s lawyers that the investigation is going to end soon, even if they re no longer giving dates predicting exactly when it will end. one source told us the president s lawyers still think it will eventually clear the president. jake, they looked at this as sort of a doctor s check up and were hope frg a clean bill of health for the president. it looks like they got something along the lines we have more tests to do. my political panel is here to talk about it. brian, let me start with you because one of the things so interesting in this op-ed from the founders of fusion gps, was that the dossier was taken so seriously because it corroborated reports they had received from other sources including one from in
not. but we will find out at the end of the day, because there will be a majority report from the senate and house and a minority report. and i can suspect or predict the minority report will be far more interesting probably because it ll contain the details from the investigators that can be corroborated and found out. what s your take? ultimately this is partly an exercise by this company to clear their name. they ve gotten caught up in a situation that s really difficult for them. and i think all of this, especially what s gone on the hill it s become increasingly partisan over the last several months, it s a little bit of a sideshow. the real investigation is happening in the special counsel s hands. it s a continuation of an investigation if you believe this op-ed was ongoing for quite some time, that was maybe deeper than we knew about. and if you don t believe that, we knew there was an investigation that pre-existed before the special counsel was formed and they took the ba
media, fbi director comey, judges, special counsel mueller. might this be the next line of attack, the grand jury is biased? right, it s part of the attack on mueller in particular, because he is the supervisor of the grand jury. by the way, mueller had absolutely nothing to do with selecting who is on the grand jury. that s something that s run by the court. and if the story is correct about the racial makeup of the jury, that would be very common for the district of columbia, which of course has a substantial minority representation. it s of course racist to suggest that they are somehow incapable of doing a fair job. but remember, mueller has been attacked because the fbi agent supposedly had a bias, that some of the prosecutors supposedly had a bias because they gave campaign contributions. here we have another part of the investigation, the grand jury,
don t see a smoking gun. doesn t the smoke warrant an investigation? and that s what s taking place. what we ve seen is a partisan food fight, which is what always happens when you do these types of investigations. look at benghazi. you have mueller and what he s doing. and you have some honest senators who will actually saying the truth that they see. i respect senator feinstein, she s from my home state. she s a good senator. having been a spokesperson and advisor to her, i would be careful speaking [ overlapping speakers ] it s worth noting on the idea one of the things we hair a lot from trump associates the campaign was so disorganized, no one knew what was going on, it s not possible we could have colluded. it might be true it was so disorganized that people didn t know what was going on, but that s not proof or evidence
