>>> TODAY PRESIDENT TRUMP ATTACKED BOB MUELLER BY NAME AND
DEFENDED VLADIMIR PUTIN.
I’LL READ IT TO YOU.
RUSSIA CONTINUES TO SAY THEY HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH MEDDLING IN
OUR ELECTION.
OUR ELECTION. I GUESS TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT.
TRUMP STEPPING UP ASSAULT ON THE
RUSSIA PROBE ITSELF.
>> AND THEN THEY GO AFTER US FOR
A RUSSIAN HOAX.
A WITCH HUNT HOAX.
ISN’T IT INCREDIBLE WHEN YOU
TALK ABOUT A DOUBLE STANDARD.
>> BOB MUELLER DOESN’T RESPOND
TO THIS KIND OF THING, BUT WE
CAN FOLLOW HIS WORK.
HE IS NOW EYEING RUSSIAN
OLIGARCHS THAT HAD VIP ACCESS TO
TRUMP INAUGURATION EVENTS.
MUELLER IS SUBPOENAING ROGER
STONE’S FORMER AIDE.
TRUMP’S ALLIES IN CONGRESS
FOLLOWING HIS LEAD DRAMATICALLY
TODAY.
TODAY. IT WAS A BIG EVENT, SERIES OF
ATTACKS ON ROD ROSENSTEIN.
>> TALK ABOUT THE MUELLER
INVESTIGATION, IT IS THE
ROSENSTEIN INVESTIGATION.
ROSENSTEIN INVESTIGATION. YOU APPOINTED MUELLER, YOU
SUPERVISE MUELLER.
SUPERVISE MUELLER. >> THERE’S AN OLD SAYING JUSTICE
DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED.
I THINK ALL OF US ARE BEING
DENIED.
DENIED. WHATEVER YOU GOT, FINISH IT THE
HELL UP BECAUSE THIS COUNTRY IS
BEING TORN APART.
>> THE JUDGE THAT HEARD MIKE
FLYNN’S CASE, WHY ARE YOU HIDING
THAT.
THAT. >> I HEARD NO ALLEGATIONS
PUBLICLY AND ON TV.
IF YOU LET ME RESPOND.
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, HE SHOULD BE
GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY.
>> MR. JORDAN.
>> I AM THE DEPUTY ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES.
OKAY?
OKAY? I’M NOT THE PERSON DOING THE
REDACTING.
REDACTING. MY JOB IS MAKE SURE WE RESPOND
TO YOUR CONCERNS.
WE HAVE.
WE HAVE. I APPOINTED MR. LOUSH WHO IS
MANAGING THAT PRODUCTION.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT IS GOING
VERY WELL, SIR.
SO I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERNS.
>> HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IS
GOING TO SAY OTHERWISE.
>> YOUR USE OF THIS TO ATTACK ME
PERSONALLY IS WRONG.
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, MAY THE WITNESS
BE PERMITTED --
>> IT IS NOT PERSONAL.
>> I AM JOINED BY FORMER
WATERGATE PROSECUTOR THAT WORKED
WITH MUELLER, COMEY, AND ROD
ROSENSTEIN.
ROSENSTEIN. HOW DO YOU THINK MR. ROSENSTEIN
DID TODAY?
DID TODAY? THAT’S ABOUT AS HEATED AS WE SEE
HIM GET IN A PUBLIC FORUM.
>> I GOT TO TELL YOU, I HAVE NOT
SEEN ROD GET THAT FRUSTRATED.
FRANKLY, YOU COULD SEE THE ANGER
ON HIS FACE.
IF YOU WATCHED THE ENTIRE
HEARING, I THINK HE WAS CALLED
AT VARIOUS TIMES A LIAR, A
CHEAT, A COVERUP.
CLEARLY I THINK MY BEST GUESS IS
BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND AGAIN
REMARKABLY MEMBERS OF HIS OWN
PARTY, WHICH I ASSUME NICK WILL
TELL YOU EVEN IN WATERGATE
ERRORS THAT DIDN’T HAPPEN.
THEY THUMB THE RULE BOOK OUT--
THROWN THE RULE BOOK OUT THE
WINDOW.
WINDOW. >> NICK, I’LL PLAY MORE OF THE
EXCHANGES.
EXCHANGES. IT WAS OBVIOUSLY POLITICAL.
IT WAS VERY OBVIOUSLY PARTISAN
ATTEMPT TO ROUGH UP
MR. ROSENSTEIN BECAUSE I THINK
THE REASON IS NOT ROSENSTEIN IS
DOING SUCH A TERRIBLE JOB THAT
THE WORK ITSELF WOULD UNDERMINE
HIM, RATHER THAT HE OR MUELLER
MAY BE FINDING SOMETHING.
IT HURTS THE REPUBLICAN SIDE.
HERE WITH ANOTHER EXCHANGE ABOUT
THE ON-GOING INVESTIGATION.
>> MR. ATTORNEY GENERAL, DO YOU
BELIEVE AS DONALD TRUMP
INDICATED THAT THE INVESTIGATION
OF WHICH YOU HAVE READ THE
INSPECTOR GENERAL’S REPORT HAS
VINDICATED MR. TRUMP AS RELATES
TO COLLUSION OR IS THE
INVESTIGATION ON-GOING?
INVESTIGATION ON-GOING? >> THERE IS AN ON-GOING
INVESTIGATION, YES.
INVESTIGATION, YES. >> AND IT IS NOT COMPLETED?
>> CORRECT.
>> CORRECT. >> OF COURSE IT IS NOT
CONCLUDED.
CONCLUDED. THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT
AVENUES TO FOLLOW HERE.
THE IDEA THAT THIS INVESTIGATION
IS GOING TO BE COMPLETED
OVERNIGHT IS ABSURD.
MUELLER HAS ONLY BEEN IN OFFICE
A LITTLE OVER A YEAR.
ALREADY A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN INDICTED, ORGANIZATIONS
HAVE BEEN INDICTED, PEOPLE HAVE
PLED GUILTY.
PLED GUILTY. THIS IS HOW YOU BUILD A CASE.
THE IDEA THAT THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT WORKS ON A 24 NEWS
CYCLE AND SUDDENLY COMES UP WITH
CHARGES IMMEDIATELY IS TOTALLY
CONTRARY TO A RULE OF LAW, THE
WAY THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
WORKS, THE WAY THEY PUT TOGETHER
CASES.
CASES. THEY HAVE TO PROVE THEIR CASES
BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.
TO DO THAT KIND OF CASE, PUT
THAT KIND OF CASE TOGETHER, YOU
DON’T DO IT OVERNIGHT.
YOU HAVE TO GET PEOPLE IN THE
GRAND JURY, YOU’VE GOT TO TAKE
TESTIMONY.
TESTIMONY. AS WE SIT HERE NOW, WE HAVE NO
IDEA WHERE THIS IS ALL GOING AT
THIS POINT.
THIS POINT. WE DON’T KNOW WHERE IT IS GOING
TO END.
TO END. BUT IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
OVERNIGHT.
OVERNIGHT. AND WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE IS AN
ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE.
ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE. EITHER THEY’RE TRYING TO
UNDERMINE THE INVESTIGATION
COMPLETELY OR ON TOP OF THAT
THEY’RE TRYING TO POLLUTE THE
JURY POOL THAT’S OUT THERE
THAT’S GOING TO BE ASSEMBLED
VERY SHORTLY TO CONSIDER THE
CASE AGAINST PAUL MANAFORT.
I MEAN, THE IDEA THAT OUR OWN
GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO POLLUTE
THAT JURY POOL AGAINST THE
GOVERNMENT IS TOTALLY
UNPRECEDENTED AND I DON’T THINK
IT’S EVER OCCURRED IN OUR
HISTORY BEFORE.
HISTORY BEFORE. >> AND GUY, I DON’T KNOW IF YOU
SAW THE OUTTAKE OF TREY GOWDY,
LEANING BACK, LOOSENED TIE, LONG
NIGHT BEFORE THE COMMITTEE
HEARING, AND OF ALL OF THE
PEOPLE, IT IS A LARGE COMMITTEE,
THEY CAN APPORTION QUESTIONS THE
WAY THEY WANT.
IN THE SENATE, SOMETIMES THERE’S
A STRATEGY ON THAT.
THEY GIVE HIM JUSTICE DELAYED IS
JUSTICE DENIED WHEN HE HAD BEEN
GOING TRIPLE THE LENGTH OF THE
MUELLER PROBE WITH FAR LESS
RESULTS TO DATE.
>> YES, ARI, NO QUESTION.
IF YOU WATCH HIM, THE GUY IS AN
EFFECTIVE CROSS-EXAMINER.
EFFECTIVE CROSS-EXAMINER. HE KNOWS HOW TO DO IT.
HE KNOWS HOW TO FIND THAT LITTLE
WEAKNESS, TO OPEN THAT DOOR JUST
A LITTLE BIT, TO GO IN, AND ONCE
HE SMELLS A LITTLE BLOOD IN THE
WATER, HE KNOWS HOW TO GO AFTER
IT.
IT. LOOK, THERE’S SOME AMMUNITION IN
THIS CASE, WHETHER IT IS THE FBI
AGENTS WHO WERE, YOU KNOW,
FRANKLY SENDING INAPPROPRIATE
TEXTS BACK AND FORTH.
>> ON FBI DEVICES, SURE.
>> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. SO THERE’S SOME AMMUNITION.
THEY’VE TAKEN THAT, THEY’VE
TAKEN OFF GLOVES AND THEY
STARTED HITTING IN THE FACE AS
HARD AS THEY CAN.
>> YOU SAID -- THAT’S MY
RECOMMENDATION.
RECOMMENDATION. >> I AM USING YOUTUBE THE WRONG
