The president says, these are his words, he, quote, cooperates every time. as for the white house, press secretary sarah sanders, she called the house judiciary committee, quote, a disgraceful abuse, fishing exhe ambition and false allegations. fishing exhibition clearly a talking point. but ty cobb has a different take. have a listen. i don t feel the same way about mueller. i don t feel the investigation is a witch hunt. a lot of things distracted him from focusing on the president, from manafort s, you know, decade-old issues to you know, the papadopouloses of the world and, you know, the carter pages of the world and the roger stones of the world. so it s not my view that it s a witch hunt. kaitlan collins at the white house. kaitlan, so ty cobb with a very different approach to this investigation than president trump s current legal representation.
Offices including the trump organization, the trump foundation, even the justice department and fbi to hand over documents in two weeks or risk a subpoena for them. to be clear, these are organizations and groups that already handed over documents to the special counsel and other investigators. watching from a distance now after ten months at the president s side ty cobb who as a white house lawyer urged real cooperation with the special counsel and who now tells abc news he has a very different view of the probe from the president s view. i don t feel the same way about mueller. i don t feel the investigation is a witch hunt. a lot of things, you know, distracted him from focusing on the president. from manafort s decade old issues to, you know, the papadopouloses of the world, the carter pages and roger stones of the world. it is not my view it s a witch hunt. very different from what you have heard of the president.
Fantasy of me and george being two agents working together and having fun occasionally together. but really the impression and the conclusion that interview led to. you were an agent from where? and where was he an agent from? well, they asked me if i speak russian, if i was full italian, if i had only one passport or more passports, if i was familiar with russian people in london. have you ever been to russia? yes, i did. you have been to russia? yes. but you re not russian? no. i m italian. i m not even 100% italian. where did they think he was from? where did they think he was an agent for? i never understood. i never understood, but maybe in light of other things happened, i suspect they thought he could be an israeli agent. secret agents in love? a wild theory perhaps, but the papadopouloses sometimes seemed
The russian ambassador, jared was in charge of foreign policy for the trump administration. for the trump team. he was the one that was approving every meeting that trump would or would not have with a head of state. he was the one that was determining foreign policy direction. so it begs credulity he would not have been aware of what he was discussing with kislyak. and if flynn was saying, hey, we re going to make sure these sanctions come off, i think jared was absolutely a part of that. there s no way we re not going to find that out. now, i don t think that s collusion. for me, you know, collusion implies that trump and putin were actually in some way working together to try to swing the election an illegitimate way. i don t see that. but i do see breath taking, staggering incompetencies. i think jared had no idea what he was doing was potentially problematic for what an administration would look like and there were no adults around them in the room. the carter pages, the papadopou
Through this indictment. just through the indictment. laura, do you agree? oh, absolutely. one of the goals, i m sure, of mueller and his team is this kind of anxiety-driven paranoia that s going to happen, who was watching me, when did i talk to papadopoulos, are there more papadopouloses out there that i may have communicated with, are my finances now going to be in question? that level of anxiety will breed a lot more cooperation as you go along. if the president were to attack mueller s team and credibility, remember, mueller only came in in may and that counterespionage investigation was already under way back when comey was still in office. so if you think about it, the president would have to say i am calling into question the integrity of the entire fbi. not just mueller and his team. that s a road i think he would be willing to take this past week but one that would be
