>>> NANCY PELOSI NIECE NEW COMMENTS THAT SHE DOESN’T SPORT
SUPPORT IMPEACHMENT COMES AS
EVERYONE IS WAITING FOR ROBERT
MUELLER’S REPORT.
MUELLER’S REPORT. PERHAPS ANY MOMENT NOW, WE JUST
DON’T KNOW.
DON’T KNOW. AS POLITICAL KOE REO REPORTS, TH
HOUSE THIS AFTERNOON LEFT THE
DOOR OPEN FOR THE PRESIDENT
GOING NUCLEAR AND PARDONING PAUL
MANAFORT, JUST TWO DAYS BEFORE
WE FIND OUT YOUNGLONG MANAFORT W
SPEND IN PRISON.
JOINING ME NOW IS JOHN BREN NAN.
AND CZECHHUCK ROSENBERG.
THE SAME QUESTION TO BOTH OF YOU
GENTLEMAN, IF NANCY PELOSI IS
SAYING I’M PEACHMENT IS NOT
WORTH IT, IS SHE ATTACHING DOWN
EXPECTATIONS ABOUT THE MUELLER
REPORT?
REPORT? COULD SHE KNOW SOMETHING THAT WE
DON’T KNOW?
DON’T KNOW? >> SHE COULD, BUT I DON’T THINK
SHE DOES, IT WAS SIR SURPRISING
SHE CAME OUT WITH THIS DAYTIME.
SHE DID LEAVE HERSELF AN OUT.
SHE SAID UNLESS IT IS
COMPELLING, I THINK WE ALREADY
HAVE TWO BOXES CHECKED.
I THINK THE BIPARTISAN BOX WILL
NOT BE CHECKED FROM HER VIEW.
AND IT IS NOT WHAT CONSTITUTION
SAYS, BUT I THINK IT IS THE
POLITICAL REALITIES OF
WASHINGTON ON THE EVE OF A
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION SHE
DOESN’T WANT TO GO THROUGH A
BRUISING FIGHT THAT WILL GET
THROUGH THE HOUSE, BUT HIS STYLE
IN THE SENATE WILL NOT BE
SOMETHING THAT WILL END GIVEN
THE REPUBLICANS DETERMINATION TO
STAY WITH THEM.
>> SO SHE IS GUESSING THAT
WHATEVER MUELLER COMES OUT WITH
IT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO
CONVINCE REPUBLICANS SO LET’S
MOVE ON FROM THIS?
>> YEAH, AND I THINK IT IS
BIPARTISAN, I THINK IT HAS TO BE
SOMETHING THAT WILL BE NOW HAVE
CONVINCE THE REPUBLICANS WHO
HAVE JUST STUCK WITH TRUMP, AND
SAY YES, THIS MEETING THE
STANDARD OF HIGH CRIMES AND
MISDEMEANORS AND HE NEEDS TO BE
OUSTED FROM OFFICE.
AT THIS POINT SHE IS TAMPING
DOWN EXPECTATIONS SO THE HOUSE
DEMOCRATS ARE FOCUS ON THEIR
INVESTIGATIONS.
INVESTIGATIONS. >> I THINK JOHN IS RIGHT, NANCY
PELOSI IS A GIFTED POLL DECISION
MAKING A POLITICAL CALCULATION.
I DON’T THINK THERE IS ANY
CHANCE SHE COULD KNOW WHAT IS
INVOLVED IN MUELLER’S REPORT.
BY REGULATION, AND MUELLER IS A
REGULATION GUY, KATIE, HAS TO BE
CONFIDENTIAL WHEN HE TRANSMITS
IT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
HE HAS NOT LEAKED A THING.
HE IS RUNNING AN AIRTIGHT
INVESTIGATION, THE NOTION THAT
NANCY PELOSI KNOWS WHAT IS IN IT
IS FANSFUL TO ME.
>> WHAT WOULD EQUAL BAD FOR HIM,
EQUAL A CRIME, LIKE GETTING ON
THE PHONE TO VLADIMIR PUTIN
SAYING HELP ME WITH THESE
E-MAILS SO I CAN TAKE DOWN
HILLARY CLINTON.
HILLARY CLINTON. >> I THINK SINCE HE FACTED TO
ABNORMALLY I THINK HE CON VEBSED
A LOT OF PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON
THAT ANYTHING THAT HE DOES DOES
NOT REACH THAT BAR OF
IMPEACHMENT.
IMPEACHMENT. I THINK HE HAS BEEN INTENTIONAL
ABOUT THAT.
ABOUT THAT. HE HAS GOT HIS BASE TO HOLD
THEIR NOSE AND ALL OF THAT THAT
IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
PRESIDENT -- I THINK THAT IS WHY
SO MANY PEOPLE ARE DETERMINED TO
STICK WITH IT.
>> HE LOWERED THE BAR AND RAISED
THE BAR AT THE SAME TIME.
ADAM SCHIFF WAS ON YESTERDAY AND
HE SOUNDED WORRIED.
HE WAS SAYING ROBERT MUELLER
SHOULD HAVE PRESIDENT TRUMP IN
FRONT OF HIM AND HI SHOULD
QUESTION HIM IN PERSON.
LET’S LISTEN.
LET’S LISTEN. >> I THINK ULTIMATELY IT IS A
MISTAKE.
MISTAKE. THE BEST WAY TO GET THE TRUTH IS
TO PUT THE PRESIDENT UNDER OATH
BECAUSE HAS HE MADE CLAIM IN THE
PAST, HE FEELS IT IS PERFECTLY
FINE TO LIE TO THE PUBLIC.
>> CHUCK, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> IN A TYPICAL INVESTIGATION,
KATIE, YOU SAVE THE MOST
IMPORTANT PEOPLE FOR LAST AND
YOU TALK TO EVERYBODY.
AND SO IT STRUCK ME AS ALMOST A
NECESSITY THAT BOB MUELLER AND
HIS TEAM TALK TO DONALD TRUMP
EXCEMENT FOREX
EXCEMENT FOREX EXCEPT FOR ONE THING WE DON’T
KNOW THE FACTS.
WE DON’T KNOW WHAT MUELLER
KNOWS, AND WE FRANKLY DON’T KNOW
WHETHER OR NOT THE PRESIDENT HAS
AGREES OR NOT AGREED TO BE
INTERVIEWED.
INTERVIEWED. BY THE WAY I DON’T KNOW IF BOB
MUELLER WOULD WIN.
THE SUPREME COURT WOULD REQUIRE
A PRESIDENT TO GIVE NEW
EVIDENCE.
EVIDENCE. ASSUMING HE HAD A FIFTH
AMENDMENT PRIF LENG, BUT I
WORKED FOR BOB MUELLER AND FE HE
DOESN’T WANT TO TALK TO BOB
MUELLER I’M SURE HE HAS A GOOD
REASON FOR THAT.
>> CONSIDERING THE INVESTIGATION
AND CONSIDERING THE NOVELTY
THERE, IF THERE A REAL SWEAT FOR
OUR PRESIDENT, THEY FOUND
SOMETHING THERE, HOW LONG CAN
YOU SIT ON THAT, CURRENTLY SIT
ON THAT?
ON THAT? >> IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE FACTS.
IF IT IS SOMETHING FROM THE PAST
THAT HAS BEEN UNCOVERED THAT
DOES COMPROMISE THE NATIONAL
SECURITY OF THIS COUNTRY I THINK
IT IS A VALID QUESTION.
SHOULD WITH ALLOW A INDIVIDUAL
IN THE OVAL OFFICE THAT IS
COMPROMISEBLE.
COMPROMISEBLE. WE DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH OF THIS
INVESTIGATION ICE BERGE IS OUT
THERE.
THERE. I THINK HOW MUCH IS THERE AND
WHAT WILL BE DETERMINED WILL BE
DETERMINED BY WHAT WILL BE
PRESENTED TO THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL.
GENERAL. THERE IS NOTHING THAT REQUIRES A
PUBLIC STATEMENT TO GO OUT FROM
THE SPECIAL COUNCIL’S TEAM
SAYING WE HAVE TO DELIVER A
REPORT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
I THINK WILLIAM BARR WILL GET
THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS.
>> CHUCK, I BELIEVE, I THINK WE
WERE TOLD WE WOULD GET SOME
GUIDANCE FROM DOJ.
WE JUST WOULD NOT HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT WAS IN THE REPORT
IMMEDIATELY.
IMMEDIATELY. >> BUT I THINK JOHNSON’S
INSTINCTS ON THIS ARE RIGHT.
HERE IS WHY.
THE MUELLER REPORT IS REQUIRED
TO BE CONFIDENTIAL.
IT IS NOT IN THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL’S INTEREST TO KNOW HE
RECEIVED IT.
RECEIVED IT. ONCE WE KNOW HE RECEIVED IT WE
START HAMMERING ON HIM, WHAT
WILL YOU DO, WHAT WILL YOU MAKE
PUBLIC?
PUBLIC? AND SO THOROUGH, IT IS ENTIRELY
PLAUSIBLE, BUT IT IS PLAUSIBLE
THAT HE TRANSMITTED IT AND WHEN
HE DOES I IMAGINE THEY’RE NOT
GOING TO ANNOUNCE THAT.
I DON’T KNOW HOW THAT HELPS THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL THAT WOULD WANT
TO TO READ IT, REFLECT ON IT,
AND DETERMINE WHAT COULD BE
PROPERLY TRANSMITTED TO THE
CONGRESS AND MADE PUBLIC.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S MARCHING
ORDERS THAT GOVERNOR THIS REPORT
MUST BE BRIEF AND MUELLER’S
REPORT TO HIM MUST BE
CONFIDENTIAL.
CONFIDENTIAL. >> WHAT IS ABOVE THE WATER RIGHT
NOW IS ALL OF THE ACTION WE’RE
GOING TO BE SEEING IN COURT THIS
WEEK FROM THE VARIOUS PEOPLE
INVOLVED.
INVOLVED. ONE OF THOSE IS PAUL MFRT.
THIS COULD DETERMINE HOW LONG HE
WILL END UP STAYING IN PRISON.
TODAY THE WHITE HOUSE WOULD NOT
EXPLICITLY RULE OUT THAT PAUL
MANAFORT WOULD NOT BE GIVEN A
PARDON.
PARDON. >> RIGHT, PAUL MANAFORT SHOULD
NOT BE DANCING IN THE END ZONE
YET.
YET. HE GOT A LENIENT SENTENCE.
HE IS LOOKING AT AN ADDITIONAL
TEN YEARS.
TEN YEARS. THE JUDGE THERE COULD RUN IT
CONSECUTIVELY AND HE STILL HAS
SIGNIFICANT EXPOSURE, WHETHER OR
NOT THE PRESIDENT WILL PARDON
HIM IS ANOTHER MATTER, BUT HE
SHOULD NOT BE DANCING IN THE
OCCASION YET.
OCCASION YET. >> I DON’T HAVE ANY DOUBT THAT
MR. TRUMP WILL BARR DON HYMN ATP
SOME POINT.
SOME POINT. SO I BELIEVE THAT PAUL MANAFORT
WILL BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE
FEDERAL CHARGES, WHAT DOES HE
HAVE TO LOSE IF HE PARDONS HIM.
>> I THINK WHETHER OR NOT IT IS
HIM LEAVING OFFICE.
BUT HE HAS SPOKEN HIGHLY OF HIM.
HE FEELS THIS INVESTIGATION HAS
BEEN A WITCH HUNT.
SO WHY WOULD DONALD TRUMP ALLOW
HIM TO STAY IN JAIL.
>> WHAT ABOUT MIKE FLYNN?
WILL HE GET A PARDON AS WELL?
>> ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH
TRUMP.
TRUMP. HE USES THE POWERS AS HE WANTS
TO
TO TO.
TO. IF THERE ARE STATE CHARGES,
THOSE COULD STICK, BUT FEDERAL
