We are continuing to see day in and day out as this investigation moves to completion, that the same as it started, theres still no evidence of collusion between the president and anyone if any collusion took place, it would be between the dnc and the clintons. Good morning. Welcome to am joy. Ladies and gentlemen, we have an indictment. Cnn, the wall street journal and reuters all reporting that special Council Robert mueller has filed the first criminal charges related to his wide ranging investigation that began with the question of whether the Trump Campaign clueded with russrus colluded with russia in the 2016 campaign. The indictment has been sealed, meaning we dont know who has been charged or for that matter whether an arrest could come as soon as monday.

Sometimes an indictment is held secret until the target is notified i
Cohen, his lawyers, and attorneys for President Trump, a separate one for Michael Cohen, are all going to get together inside this courtroom in manhattan. Stormy daniels, as well, who was paid off by cohen to keep quiet about an alleged affair with mr. Trump. It is all setting the stage for a highly unusual courtroom confrontation between all of them right now. And this will be cohens First Court Appearance since fbi agents raided his home, office and hotel room last week. The agents seized Electronics Devices and an untold number of documents that both the cohen and trump legal teams want to stop investigators from seeing. As i just said a moment ago. In the last 24 hours both have filed motions with the court. Cohens team is demanding the appointment of a special master who would review seized documents before investigators, and that person would determine what is protected by attorneyclient privilege. They are arguing the special master will protect the integrity of the governments

Mounting partisan attacks of what many see the nations crown jewel in law enforcement. Its an effort that seems to be launched and time to discredit the russia investigation, if not the investigator, just a few hours ago, fbi Deputy Director Andrew Mccabe left capitol hill after a second day of lengthy closed door interviews. Republicans on the hill have been focusing on whether there is political bias against the president within the fbi. Its a kind of loyalty test, and theyve been targeting mccabe, whos been involved in several recent investigations, including the one into Hillary Clintons private email server. Earlier tonight, adam schiff, the lead democrat on house intel talked about what he views as the republicans obsession with mccabe. Focused on mr. Mccabe because they see him as an opportunity to try to tear at the fbi.

Then she issued a bizarre statement in which she said that kavanaugh is a good man, but should not be on the Supreme Court. In other words, Brett Kavanaughs was falsely accused of gang rape and that means he can be a Supreme Court justice. Keep in mind, that Lisa Murkowski is an actual u. S. Senator. Hard to be
