my brother need not be idealized or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life. to be remembered simply as a good and decent man who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. those of us who loved him and will take him to his rest today pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will some day come to pass for all the world. as he said many times in many parts of this nation to those he touched and who sought to touch him, some men see things as they are and say why, i dream things that never were and say why not. that was senator ted kennedy at the funeral of his brother bobby. second funeral he would have to mark and today is june 6th. david ignatius, two monumental things happened on this day, of course, the assassination and the death the assassination and the death of bobby kennedy on june 6th, 1968, a day that really marked in many ways a low point, the chaos of the 1960s and i must say also a
again, that could happen, including any charges against the lower tier people who might have been involved with the obstruction track of this case as we are looking at sort of two tracks that jack smith has narrowed the mar-a-lago case down to which is the classification issues, did trump willfully, knowingly retain classified information and then the various pressure points of obstruction along the way. so i think i will be watching sort of these, you know these supporting actors and characters in the meantime, but all signs point to a decision coming imminently and we ve been told that trump advisers are expecting that as well and that the meeting yesterday which was sort of a front for them at least for raising grievances with jay brat and jack smith for some of their more aggressive tactics in terms of obtaining evidence and waiving attorney/client privilege and
with special counsel robert mueller s team. abbe lowell said that the mueller investigators asked kushner about russian collusion, foreign contacts and the firing of the fbi director james comey as well as more. let s dig deeper with our specialists and our analysts. david chelian, kushner s lawyer outlined that mueller was asking about these contacts and the firing of comey. it sort of reflects two tracts of this investigation, right? without a doubt. the collusion track the so-called collusion track, and the obstruction track. and i think abowe lowell made it crystal clear to you that just from the seven hours he spent with mueller s team and his client that those two paths are still clearly being actively pursue, wolf. sabrina siddiqui, why do you think abbe lowell has decided to come out with all these details? i think it s notable on the
mueller, who s an experienced prosecutor at the federal level, might be looking at a rico charge, criminal enterprise, looking at all these tidbits put together and saying they show an effort to make money along the way to the presidency. right. right now it seems like you have two tracks that mueller s taking. the obstruction track, and the collusion track. the one that is most dangerous for the president is of course the obstruction track. but in terms of his questioning of paul manafort, rick gates, mike flynn, it seems he s using the possible penalties with rico and with money laundering, tax fraud, things like that, in order to pressure them to tell him what happened during the 2016 election, to kind of get to the bottom of whether or not there actually was collusion or whether there were more meetings that we don t know about or more communication between trump campaign officials and the russians. what s your sense of this almost bumper cars, there s so many people being inte
in trouble for lying to his former colleagues in congress and if he simply department answer that question because he s as exposed as he wants to be legally in front of his former colleagues in the house and senate. i think jeff sessions there are a lot of problems with jeff sessions as attorney general. one thing that s relatively clear on the basis of his behavior is that he wants to keep that job. he doesn t want to go to jail. he doesn t want to perjure himself. i think matt is right about the fact that in that period if you think about this mueller investigation having the two tracks. the collusion track and the obstruction track. in that period, given how close trump was to sessions throughout the campaign and throughout his political life and given the where sessions sat, i mean physically in some cases with respect to the meeting trump had with comey, it seems hard to believe that sessions does not have information that was not called upon to do things that were problemat
