>> Steve: ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CARLEY.
>> Carley: YOU ARE WELCOME.
>> Steve: MEANWHILE LATER TODAY
LAWYERS WILL GIVE OPENING
ARGUMENTS IN THE TRIAL OF
HILLARY CLINTON CAMPAIGN
ATTORNEY MICHAEL SUSSMANN.
FIRST TRIAL IN THE TRUMP RUSSIA
PROBE.
THE JURY WAS FINALIZED YESTERDAY
AND IT INCLUDES AS MANY AS THREE
HILLARY CLINTON DONORS AND ONE
WHO SUPPORTED FAR LEFT
CONGRESSWOMAN ALEXANDRIA
OCASIO-CORTEZ.
FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR JONATHAN
TURLEY JOINS US ON WHAT WE CAN
EXPECT.
S TO THAT SEEM FAIR TO YOU CAN
THOSE THREE PEOPLE WHO DONATED
TO HER CAMPAIGN BE FAIR?
>> THE SPECIAL COUNSEL OBJECTED
TO PARTICULARLY ONE OF THESE
JURORS AS BEING BIASED.
AND JUDGE COOPER OVERRULED THAT
THIS IS THE LATEST OF A SERIES
OF DECISIONS BY THE COURT THAT
HAS IN SOME WAYS DEBILITATED
ASPECTS OF THE PROSECUTION.
YOU KNOW, THE COURT PREVIOUSLY
RULED THAT DURHAM COULD NOT MAKE
CRITICAL LINK CAMS TO THE
CLINTON CAMPAIGN DURING THE
TRIAL AND DURHAM’S PEOPLE WERE I
THINK INCREDULOUS, HOLD IT, THE
REASON WE ARE SAYING THAT HE HID
HIS CONNECTIONS TO THE CLINTON
CAMPAIGN WAS THAT THIS WAS PART
OF AN OVERALL EFFORT TO DO SO.
THE OTHER ATTORNEY IN THIS FIRM
MARK ELLIOTT THE GENERAL COUNSEL
OF THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN WAS ALSO
ACCUSED OF LYING ABOUT THE
CLINTON CAMPAIGN FUNDING THE
STEELE DOSSIER.
THIS DEALS WITH A SEPARATE
RUSSIAN COLLUSION THEORY
REGARDING THE ALPHA BANK.
BOTH OF THESE INDIVIDUALS WERE
ACCUSED OF SIMILAR CONDUCT AND
THE CAMPAIGN WAS ACCUSED OF JUST
CONCEALING ITS ROLE IN SPREADING
RUSSIAN COLLUSION THEORIES.
THE COURT SAID I’M NOT GOING TO
LET YOU MAKE THOSE CLOSE
CONNECTIONS.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO
PRESENT THAT TO THE JURY.
SO, THE PROSECUTION IS STARTING
OUT WITH SIGNIFICANT LIMITATIONS
FROM THE COURT AND I DON’T AGREE
WITH THEM STEVE KEEP IN MIND THE
CHARGE IS THAT HE, MR. SUSSMANN,
LIED TO THE FBI.
BECAUSE HE TOOK THIS INFORMATION
TO THE GENERAL COUNSEL AND THEY
SAID ARE YOU WORKING FOR
SOMEBODY AND HE SAID NO, THIS IS
ON MY OWN.
LIKE I’M JUST OFFERING THIS UP
TO SAVE AMERICA.
HERE’S THE THING, PROFESSOR,
SHOULDN’T ROBERT MUELLER HAVE
FIGURED ALL THIS STUFF OUT IN
2016?
HE HAD A $40 MILLION
INVESTIGATION.
YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT HE
CONNECTED ALL THE DOTS BACK
THEN?
>> THIS IS, IN FACT, THE SAME
CHARGE THAT WAS BROUGHT BY
MUELLER AGAINST A NUMBER OF
TRUMP OFFICIALS.
FRANKLY THE TRIALS COULD NOT BE
MORE DIFFERENT.
YOU KNOW, IN THE PROSECUTION OF
FLYNN WHO PLEADED GUILTY, THE
JUDGE IN THE VERY SAME
COURTHOUSE REALLY APPLIED A NO
HOLDS BARRED APPROACH.
ANYTHING THE PROSECUTION WANTED.
IN THIS CASE IT’S MUCH, MUCH
MORE RESTRICTIVE.
BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS
THAT YOU RAISE.
WHICH ARE LEGITIMATE.
WE ARE LEARNING A LOT OF NEW
INFORMATION ABOUT THE ROLE OF
THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN IN CREATING
THESE COLLUSION ALLEGATIONS OF
SPREADING THEM.
OF HIDING THEIR FUNDING. RECENTLY THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN
RECENTLY THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN
WASWAS FINED BY THE FEC HIDING T
FUNDING OF THE STEELE DOSSIER
AND CALLING IT LEGAL COSTS
THROUGH THIS FIRM PERKINS COIE.
ALL OF THAT IS RELATIVELY NEW.
AND THE QUESTION IS WHY THE
MUELLER PROSECUTORS ARE FAILED
TO UNCOVER ANY OF THIS.
>> Steve: YEAH.
ABSOLUTELY.
AND ONE THING -- ONE BIG
DIFFERENCE IS THE MUELLER
INVESTIGATION LEAKED LIKE A
SIEVE.
WE HEARD EVERYTHING THEY WERE
WORKING ON BUT BY COMPARISON,
THE DURHAM PROBE HAS BEEN
RELATIVELY LEAK-FREE.
WE ONLY FOUND THINGS OUT IN
COURT FILINGS.
PROFESSOR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS TODAY.
