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
obama for 8 years isn t the full story. sara: he was hired under the bush administration and is a registered republican. he s a republican trying to do his job. even though the media is conflating it. nobody knows what s going on in mueller s head. howie: the president said he probably won t be sitting down with an interview with mueller. he wants to bring it to a head. could this escalation be a result of the president being immersed in this conversation with his lawyers. mo: he probably got rid of jeff sessions he wanted to get rid of

he may well be getting information from the new acting attorney general, mr. whitaker. he wanted whitaker in this position because trump has been driven crazy by the fact that he does not know what s going on in mueller s investigation. he now has in whitaker eyes and ears, a spy, as it were, who can look into the investigation and presumably, i don t know this is a fact, but it s been suggested to me by people in the white house, that mr. whitaker has a way of getting back to the white house or to mr. trump or the lawyers and say, here is where the investigation stands from what i am able to see with this new pair of eyes and no one in your orbit, mr. president, has had a good look before. so that may be part of the equation. do you think that s where his tweets came from yesterday, then? i can t speculate. yeah. i think we need to back off the speculation. i think what s important about his tweets are to follow them from election day to the
fraudulently false statements and he signed it last week, last wednesday on valentine s day. but this was all revealed when he was arraigned in court today. this implications on what s going on in mueller s investigation. we saw that on friday night and we now see it todwith this lawy from skadden. this plea adds to the pressure on paul manafort himself, that he, too, should start cooperating with prosecutors given all the stuff they ve got on him and all the people who worked around him in various ways.
