andrew napolatano saying robert mueller's theory on collusion is starting to come into focus. >> theo run through jared corey and perhaps through roger stone and through julian asange and perhaps through the president of ecuador. perhaps paul manafort in an effort to -- this is bob mueller's theory, not mine, show a secure route of communication between russian hackers getting into the dnc and the hillary campaign computers and delivering that information. >> dana: i'm joined by doug burns a former federal prosecutor. so good to have you here for your expertise. one other character that i want to bring into this. this quote is coming back from a new york times report in august 2017 where felix sader sending an e-mail which it says our boy, meaning president trump, can become president of the usa and we can engineer it. i will get all of putin's team to buy in on this. i will manage this process. but tell me a little bit about felix sader. >> he got a little bit of a checkered past. he's had some legal problems. was insighted and so forth. again, working off what the judge was saying

this is a case from somebody who you never heard of, named andrew miller, who received subpoenas from robert mueller. mueller's subpoenas told him he was supposed to testify or hand over information to a grand jury. this guy andrew miller refused to respond to the subpoenas, refused to recognize their validity, and basically, his case got set up as a legal challenge. so, the federal courts would have to rule on whether or not mueller's appointment is constitutional, whether special counsels really can be empowered by the justice department at all to do the kind of investigation that mueller has been doing. so this is an appeals court case that's designed to challenge basically the existence of the special counsel full stop. since these filings were first put on the public docket tonight, there has been some discussion online, there have been some headlines suggesting that what mueller and his prosecutors are saying in these filings tonight is that matthew whitaker showing up at the justice department doesn't affect the work of the special counsel at all, that the investigation is proceeding

robert mueller. >> sean: we know andrew weissmann, january, all the democratic donors, monica, it has never been tot the appearance of the people he selected, to me, has been so over-the-top. i want to specifically -- the only thing we are hearing now, jerome corsi is suggesting that .he has been told that he might face charges of lying, which would be in the vein i guess, michael flynn, although the two fbi agents claimed he never lied, and maybe papadopoulos. but if that's it, and roger stone, who they want to go after, i'm not sure what that would all be about but it doesn't seem connected to donald trump in any way. >> so far what we know and what we have seen from the me too are essentially process crimes. nothing that goes to the core of the original assignment for robert mueller, which was to investigate so-called russia collusion, which our friend gregg jarrett has called aptly the russian hoax. they did their best during the campaign to block trump from becoming president and once he became president, it moved to ae different phase, which was try to undermine and ultimately destroy his pre

. >> robert costa, it's not working in florida. you've got the democrat, andrew gillum, at 50%. ron desantis, essentially, a mini me, someone who embodies all that donald trump stands for. now down seven points. i worked for a republican governor of florida. i haven't seen a democrat this far ahead in a statewide race in a long time. does the president see this as a referendum on his politics? >> the president does not. y president thinks he himself is still popular with his own base. he's reinforced with that message every time he goes to a rally. your message about florida is really important because the republican there running for governor, ron desantis, a congressman, has been a mini-me of president trump and mini-ms across the country whether it's in pennsylvania with lou barleta or in florida. they are struggling to have president trump's presence and political capital on the campaign trail. >> let's keep up the mini-me analogy, heidi. another mini-me is brian kemp. but his -- his trumpism, i guess, is really a below the belt accusation which is more similar to trumpism i

not the first time he has done that andrew mccarter over the weekend said chief justice roberts known fact there are obama judges. they are trying to undermine the president's agenda and politics has been played for a long time here and maybe this is one that the chief justice should have sat out. >> well, it's a very important act for the chief justice to engage in any tit-for-tat with a politician let alone the president. presidents have criticized the supreme court since really the earliest days of the republican. but having said that i am sympathetic with the chief justice's decision he has remain silent for a couple of years. the president has been unrelenting in what i think are unfair attacks on many judges i think he felt as the head of the judiciary he had to say something. you know, where i have a slight problem as i say in the column tomorrow on the hill is really the balance for chief justice roberts in making these comments. there have been long controversies on the court with his own members engaging in political commentary even going to political fundraisers. and he ha

they were touting beto o'rourke or robert o'rourke, whatever his name is, and andrew gillum as the template for 2020 for presidential timber for the democratic party. i couldn't quite figure that one out. >> obviously, beto, whatever his name is, had $85 million, more than any presidential campaign spent in recent times, against $35 million for ted cruz, ted cruz won a very effective campaign and won it easily in the end. gillum was the delight of the liberal media and some of the rich guys that put tons of money in the races and i think that's -- we survived an onslaught of liberals, actors, actresses, former presidents and basically everybody, and my favorite joe biden who proved he can't vote for anybody anywhere. lou: by the way, not many people are running ahead of him in that category, whether it's oprah winfrey, they spend a lot of time and little attention, not for the candidate it seems. give us a sense where we go from here. the president has been facing -- well, i want to ask you before that. i've got to bring it up. that is paul ryan. where was he in this campaign? and where the

robert mueller's investigation. >> the president's legal team singled out andrew reisman for pressuring manafort and other witnesses. the former prosecutor said the mueller probe may have overreached but others disagree. >> the underlying thing they are investigating is politics, not crime and it is not a prosecutor's place to do that. >> manafort is putting all his eggs in the trump pardon basket. he is gambling and it is a big gamble that trump will pardon him. >> reporter: a source with direct knowledge of the investigation tells fox news the president's written answers to mueller are consistent with his public statements. the june 2016 trump tower meeting which included manafort the president tweeted he had no advanced knowledge. a status hearing for the manafort case is scheduled for friday. shannon: robert mueller playing hardball with key witnesses and one is threatening to fire back. roger stone associate jerome corsi instructed his attorneys to file a committal complaint against mueller's special counsel for prosecutorial misconduct in his case. he says he rejected an offer to plead guilty to lying to inve

andrew miller is another person who's been subpoenaed to testify who is now fighting that because he says that he believes robertller's appointment was understa unconstitutional or his investigation. >> it should all go out the window. >> let me talk about corsi, a roger stone associate, now talking about having a plea deal or in negotiations. if he's in negotiations right now, does that mean he's kind of already given up the goods to them or that he's willing to give up the goods as long as he gets a good deal? >> the federal government works like this. you want to represent a car. the government walks in and says i'm going to drive your car, i'm going to put a few thousand miles on it, and if i like it, i'll pay you. that's the way that it works. so, no, you don't dictate to the government. what happens is you come in, you come in to the government, you sit in a conference room with your lawyer and the prosecutors and the agents. you get a piece of paper that says that you will not get in trouble for the words that come out of your mouth so long as you tell us the truth, and the government tests you. and you a
