it mueller as f.b.i. direct heir plent -- into it. mueller as f.b.i. director had plenty of time to get into it. so there's only one thing we're looking at and that's a vendetta from mueller against certain people. he's clearly disqualified. comey's in it up to his eye balls. we've got to have a special prosecutor that will look into the matters that should be investigated. and then we have this issue on capitol hill. e need to know how compromised our computer system, our i.t. system on the hill has been. had a guy named emran working on capitol hill. starting working with democrats' computer systems 12 years or so ago. before -- he was not even an merican citizen at the time. apparently, if there has ever been a background check on him, it certainly was not adequate. and could his family he horts, you've got -- cohorts, you've got bankruptcy, ou've got mass indebtedness. there was money received by one of the team, $100,000 or so, from a known consort with hezbollah. and then we find out yesterday or i did, i'd not heard of this emran ewan, that for

f.b.i. agents about what to look for for radical islamists and under mueller is ordered to destroy all of those. fortunately there was an extra copy and, as i understand it, the f.b.i.'s now trying to teach some of the higher level agents exactly what a radical islamist is. but if mr. mcmaster has his way, that won't last much longer. but nonetheless, director mueller is head of the f.b.i., as one intelligence official told me, they were blinded of the ability to see the enemy. the enemy being radical islamists that want to destroy our nation, destroy our freedom, and kill us. they don't know what to look for thanks to director mueller. of course as the washingtonian article pointed out in 2013, basically mueller and comby were joined at the hip -- comby were joined at the him -- comey were joined at the hip. if the world were on fire mueller would be the last one standing beside comey, protecting him, supporting him, whatever. which by the way is another reason, if mr. mule heir been as ethical -- mueller had been as ethical and moral as he should have been, he should have disclosed immediately, i can't accept this special counsel role b

f.b.i. investigation documents sealed, and mueller s as f.b.i. director was charting the course to get this thing center field, covered up, wow. the guys that did the coverup are in charge of the investigation, which would allow them to cover up their prior coverup, which would look bad since they covered it up, to allow the hillary clinton-approved deal selling ited states security via our uranium to russia. and i didn't realize how russia -- how bad russia was until my friends across the aisle and secretary clinton, candidate clinton, feeted candidate clinton, kept talking about how -- defeated candidate clinton, kept talking about how bad russia was. they convinced me. this article says the criminal activity was apparently not disclosed to agencies vetting the 2010 transfer of u.s. commercial nuclear assets to russia. the f.b.i. made no move to break up the scheme until long after the transaction closed. only five years later, the justice department in 2015 disclosed a plea deal with the russian perpetrator so quietly that its significance was

before that, he served as chief of staff and senior counsel to then f.b.i. director robert mueller. r zeidenberg, whose 17 years as a federal prosecutor included time as deputy special counsel, in the investigation into the leak of c.i.a. officer valerie plame's identity. gentlemen, welcome back to the "newshour". to both of you, john carlin, what's most significant about today's indictments? >> well, two things that happened today, we have the indictments and then the release of a plea agreement and the statement of offense. taking each in turn, so the indictment, what we see today, at least according to the allegations, is that the campaign manager of a major candidate who is now president was secretly taking millions and millions of dollars from the ukrainian government that was one of putin's russia's closest allies. just to explain who yanukovych is, this is someone who was not only so close to russia that when he was deposed he fled there in 2014, but it was him being overthrown that caused putin's russia to invade and seize part of the ukraine that led to the still in effect s

people's faith in our top law enforcement agencies like the f.b.i., it's totally undercut when they behave this way. >> clearly as between comey and mueller, they have done more to destroy the country's confidence in the f.b.i.. as someone who worked in law enforcement for over three decades, what they have done is stunning! it if this trump dossier is the basis of fiza warrants and the unmasking of americans and was used knowingly funded by the clinton campaign and jim comey is the buy it who goes out when it's not his job, tom, and makes a decision that he's going to exonerate hillary, i mean, and the whole criminal justice system falls on its head. >> clinton campaign and the [ indiscernible ] have problems with the dossier. to use the dossier as a pretext to spy on president trump himself, this is much more significant government scandal in terms of the obama administration, justice department and the f.b.i. than frankly anything hillary clinton did. >> jeanine: clearly. jordan, final question. what can we look forward to in the next few weeks? >> i think that that confidential of thisant is going to change everything. i think -- info

mueller, since may, has been looking into russian interference in last year's presidential election and related matters. the former f.b.i. director, a republican vietnam war veteran, is widely regarded as honest and nonpolitical. mueller was appointed to the case by president trump's deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein. just reporter paula reid is here with the latest. paula. >> reporter: so the grand jury being used by special counsel robert mueller has approved charges against at least one person. those charges have been filed under seal, but they could become public as early as monday, marking the most significant development of the special counsel investigation so far. >> ninan: paula, do we know who the indictment is targeting? >> no, but a grand jury can only approve charges based on evidence that's been presented to them and we know the grand jury has heard testimony from several business associates of former trump campaign manager paul manafort. investigators also serve a warrant on manafort's home over the summer where they obtained documents and other physical evidence. so most of what has been publicly presented to the grand jury has been connected to manafort. but we al

f.b.i. special prosecutor mueller is doing as well as other congressional committees are doing but it gives republicans to turn the finger away from president trump and onto hillary clinton. that is certainly useful for them. >> jon: but hillary clinton's campaign was affiliated with this effort and denying it the entire time. >> i think it's also important to note that apparently the research was started to be paid for by a republican and they haven't revealed yet who that is. but yeah, i mean, the democrats are saying and the republican -- the democratic campaign former spokesman brian fallon was saying look, i didn't know it was happening. if i did i would have offered to go and help. they see this as regular opposition research. and republicans, including the one that you played a clip from earlier, see this as a reason to investigate the clintons as well. >> jon: the "wall street journal" has an editorial entitled democrats, russians and the f.b.i. in that piece the editorial board writes it turns out that russia has sown distrust in the political system aided and abetted by the democr

investigators right and left, built up a beautiful, comfortable nest for himself, that same mueller as director of the f.b.i. had the f.b.i. training materials on radical islamists purged of anything that might offend radical islamists. yes, he was more concerned about the little lunches and dinners he had with cair, the counsel on -- the council on american islamic relations, than he was about people being killed in boston. because if he had he would have made sure that the tsarnaev brothers were properly investigated after they got two heads up. if they had bothered to look, they would have seen where the older tsarnaev went and known he went to a hot bed of radicalism. they would have known to investigate, what's he been reading? what scriptures from the koran has he been reading? what has he talked about? is he doing more memorization? what's his appearance looking like now? who is he hanging out with? but no, because he was too concerned about what he called to islamic program americans he didn't want to offend anybody. more worried about offending somebody than saving the lives and limbs of bostonians

mueller investigating russian publicly ce has not spoken about the matter, but the justice department has refused attempts to officials at or the f.b.i. about the comey firing because mueller might be looking into the matters asossible obstruction of justice by president trump and others o the f.b.i. about the comey ining because the white house. that is a clue. host: the attorney general got direct questions about whether he himself had been interviewed mueller. guest: a bit of news, sessions hembled and fumbled and said had not been interviewed with mueller and he would cooperate ith the inquiry when asked for an interview. host: were you surprised by that? guest: in the white house. i was because the deputy attorney general been senstein has interviewed by mueller. in these swgzs, you interview last.ost important people jeff sessions was in the room with donald trump, had a lot of onversations with donald trump and may be expected to be interviewed further down the line. talk our guest is here to about the hearing with the attorney general. you can find it on c-span.org, the whole thing, as far as the we took it in and see it at our website at c-span.org and go library, if you need help finding that. 202-7

mueller a former f.b.i. director is leading the investigation it isn't yet known what the specific accusations are but anyone charged could be taken into custody as soon as monday all right there is the latest headlines for us here at al-jazeera inside. emotions are high in barcelona that it. could be that intense political drama as catalonia pushes for independence but can the region afford to go it alone what on.

f.b.i. that was over the timing of his meetings with alleged go betweens for russia he is now cooperating with the special investigation led by robert mueller as with paul man of fort hood rick gates the white house is pushing back diminishing the role of papadopoulos as a foreign policy adviser this individual was the member of a volunteer advisory council them at one time over the course of a year and he was part of a list that was read out in the washington post and hardly call that some sort of regular adviser however it's the case of paul man a for which is getting the most attention the indictments paint the picture of a man living a lavish lifestyle when f.b.i. agents raided his home they even photographed his suits as evidence of money laundering more than seventy five million a form payments through offshore bank accounts on twitter trump reacted to the arrests he has repeatedly called the investigation into ties between his two thousand and sixteen presidential campaign and russia a witch hunt by political adversaries and the media with a. not offering any evidence the white house says it expects the russia probe to wrap up soon and

as $135 million. so you have to ask yourself, why was the f.b.i. so passive? when bob muellerve the current deputy attorney general was, in fact, deeply involved in this. the more you learn about this stuff, the sicker it gets and the clearer it is we'll have to have a very profound, i think, investigation of the whole thing. >> sandra: people are left wondering where it goes, whether it's the uranium one deal which we followed so closely right here on this show or the anti-trump dossier. i'll ask you the question we just spoke to peter king on. what if that anti-trump dossier was used to launch investigations? what if the f.b.i. was using that information for the investigations and for warrants? >> one of the challenges you have in writing november else like vengeance is that reality is so much sicker and more twisted and more warped. you can't quite figure out how to write the next book to make it resemble anything like the current reality. you apparently had the clintons taking million of dollars. bill clinton got $500,000 for one speech. twice his usual fee. they believe t

mueller has what he'll have. >> look, i can be quick here. hilary didn't refute anything i said. the money that went through this process to piewt's cronies, and james comey, as the f.b.i, picked up this dossier project and did it under the auspices of the f.b.i. as well. this is crummy. this stinks, and this looks bad for the democrats. >> woodruff: we started talking about one feud, and now i want to ask you about this other feud the president has had, matt, for the last more than a week with the gold star family. the president was asked about all this today as he got on a plane to go to texas. let's just quickly hear what he had to say. >> i was really nice to her. i respect her. i respect her family. i certainly respect la david, who, by the way, i called la david right from the beginning. just so you understand, they put a chart in front, la david, it says ladavid johnson. right from the beginning. there's no hesitation. one of the great memories of all time. there was no hesitation. >> woodruff: the president talks about this. should he just drop it? >> yes. >> woodruff: or is it helpful to keep talking about it. >> he should drop it. i was with president bush du
