That all happening all at once. Maybe its a coincidence, maybe thats what happens when the charges start to get filed. They all interrelate. They must be at least some level read into whats going on in muellers shop, we would hope. This all looks like its designed to protect donald trump. Not get at the meat and potatoes of what russia did to us. I feel like so much of what were seeing is it to protect donald trump i dont know maybe im a little paranoid thinking that is disturbing. None of us are naive. But the part of it that i have been a little bit dismayed by is that its one thing for people who are partisans of the trump
administration or who are republicans and see it as their job to defend the president , to say, you know what, this collusion thing didnt happen. What russia did was terrible. We are against that. But Dont Try To Drag Donald Trump into this, dont try youre saying that he was involved in this to try to undercut his election. He won his election fair and square. And
people should know. people understand chinese direct investment in america from 1999 to 2015 was $64 billion. it swd and was huge.illion. last year it dropped a lot to $29 billion. one of the reasons is because of cfius. they will put that on steroids. it is a congressional committee to vet the major investments. over the last from 20 early this year the number three area was information and technology. that was $16 billion. there are bill: part of the whole uranium thing. they get to say whether or not the bills are good for america. not a great committee per se but they did actually do their job last year and i think they re passing bills now to make it stronger commitment. sandra: before we let you go dow up triple digits now.
lots of red herrings with the uranium thing. just checking out yesterday morning. howard got to something on the politics, i do think now this has been going on for a while, so much coverage of it, that you wonder what it would take in terms of an indictment or action from mueller at any stage for people in the trump camp or republicans who are leaning to the trump camp to come around and say there is something serious here. i think it would have to almost go straight to the president himself. pp at this stage the goal posts have been moved so much, there couldn t have possibly be collusion and then there was the june meeting which by definition was a form of collusion, they were looking for dirt on hillary clinton from the russians, that et a form of collusion. yeah. but the things have shifted so much and goal posts have shifted so much and, you know, bars and standards have been raised so much, that you almost wonder is there anything mueller could come up with that trump supp
fascinating. in so far as there is something to the e-mails and the dossier and even the uranium thing, you can make an argument we should be investigating them now and they are and they want to do so completely and thoroughly. hillary clinton didn t win the election. i have no doubt that if she had won, they would definitely be investigating her on all those fronts and a dozen others and feel justified in doing so. by the way, i would like to think that i m principaled enough on some of those where there were issues and concerns. i agree it s appropriate to do so. the same is true now. you can t actually say we should investigate hillary clinton for doing this wheeling and dealing with russia and russian interests who is not president and ignore the mountains of suspicious evidence connecting donald trump and his electoral campaign and close inner circle
what donald trump is going to say or do, how he may react this weekend. i don t know, speculate for us. i think this could be getting serious enough, we may turn on fox and find the yule log and classical music playing. i don t know how they re going to deal with the fact that the week long attack they made on the uranium thing, they tried to turn into the clintons being edge emand julius rosenberg, who paid for the steele dossier and all these things, they ve been at full alert over there and the fact that we re facing the first indictments of people involved in this russia scandal, may be peripherally involved, may be involved on other issues. that s going to be a real collapse in the narrative they re invested in over there. plooez stay with us, if you re just joining us.
