february saw the first real result of mahler's investigation finally the russians were being called out directly three companies and thirteen individuals were named and shamed the massive indictment in the robert muller investigation breaking today of thirteen russian special counsel robert muller investigation moeller indicted the russians thirteen russians not only operating overseas operating right here in the united states but given that those targeted are russian nationals with no worries about extradition to the u.s. no one expected the matter to go any further than media headlines but one company named in the indictment concord management and consulting seemingly called mahler's bluff by hiring d.c. attorneys who showed up for the arraignment the plea of not guilty or not you think a molar is office would be happy to finally have their day in court but no they tried to put off the hearing on the grounds that the defendant had been properly served which is amazing as being served is just a way of getting the opposing party to show up to court but given that lawyers for concord hav

they are saying trump can't get rid of mahler. that just burns me up. host: that was phyllis in kansas. guest: the president could act. he is widely accepted by democrats and republicans the investigation should play out. they are pushing the administration to leave people and let it play out. callers, this is something we haven't said it. i have done this a lot across the country, the people that supported president trump still support him largely. for all the investigations and , they really support what he is doing. they wanted somebody to shake up washington and get out of the paris climate agreement and all of these agreements and different things, they like what he is doing. if you step back from the big picture, he's doing what he said and people still support that. guest: the caller said there has been no russian collusion, that was the conclusion by the house intelligence committee. it's a deeply flawed investigation. they didn't really probe into it. saying russia interfered with our election. that is agreed upon. they feel the investigation s

discussion larry about you know there are only two options is he going to sit down voluntarily with mahler or is he going to be subpoenaed in which case he'll be forced to i think there's a third door that people are talking about the third or is that he simply says listen i'm going to assert executive privilege i'm going to say listen you don't muck muller have the authority to force me to sit down for an interview because you're going to ask me questions that relate to my specific duties as a president under article two and an article two under the executive branch of which i am the head i don't have to answer these questions and that could create a constitutional crisis where that issue goes up to the supreme court and he doesn't assert the fifth nor does he agree to voluntarily sit down interesting did nixon or clinton ever do that nixon did assert executive privilege lay but he has sort of executive privilege related to whether or not he was going to produce tapes he was never subpoenaed to testify in front of a grand jury and that's different this would be a case of first impression

the attorney general is doing but do it with real subpoena power i think you're going to get from mahler a report to congress there's no russian collusion in it but there he's going to make a case for obstruction of justice trump at a rally said come on russia show us the e-mails trump fired the f.b.i. director trump said this they're going to make a case and if the democrats win the house they'll impeach him but there's no rush in collusion and you might those see some of the family members like donald jr and others they may get into legal hot water for what they did even though i don't think they did anything wrong you don't almost no experience it almost makes me wonder. if you put that magnifying glass like the mueller investigation on any number of individuals in washington republican or democrat i'm sure that i'm sure you're going to see all of the things that eventually will probably be levied that donald trump and his crew. right i mean when you give us an attorney or a prosecutor unfettered access to go after anybody for anything you're going to find stuff on lots of people and

democrats in the in the party who were not pleased with this use of resources let the investigation of mahler proceed but i think russia gate and its own cable every night as you know i mean i think it's a big disservice to americans that they get as michelle wolf at the white house correspondents dinner set every night it's russia trump hillary putin and then a panel of eighteen to tell you what to think you know people want to learn what's out there who are the new leaders who are the new faces what are the issues and i think progressives and democrats wise ones are beginning to understand you need to really focus on how to improve the condition of people's lives which is after all what the best of politics is about. you stand above. the riff between the progressive and the moderate democrats stablish from democrats i think let it play out the problem that i saw in the twenty sixteen race was. that the d.n.c. had its finger on the scale too heavily and that kind of rigged the system against bernie sanders let let people run let's let the let the people decide and that's harder that's hard t

know hillary clinton has and so i thought i mean that's kind of the way i look at it but in terms of mahler i think that i think it's problematic and i think that you know there's just been a lot of lost faith i mean now they're sort of harassing essentially trump's friends i mean some of his advisers yeah they've looked into their harassing their businesses their associates i mean again it's almost like the same issue we touched on this you know you're so committed to that you don't want to turn back but i think they need to have independent counsels look at all this stuff from now on so that people can at least have some faith or ever the compass falls it'll be fair and regardless of political outcome we're almost out of time i want to ask very real quick question i think carter page is going to get a very big check one day from the u.s. government curved defamation yes or no what do you agree agree or not. it's possible you know i mean it's what do you think that maybe the administration what do you think charles garner page is going to have a payday check is going to be denominated big.

but in terms of mahler i think that i think it's problematic and i think that you know there's just been a lot of lost faith i mean other sort of harassing essentially trumps friends i mean some of his advisors yeah they've looked into their harassing their businesses their associates i mean again it's almost like the same issue we touched on this you know you're so committed to that you don't want to turn back but i think they need to have independent counsels look at all this stuff from now on so that people can at least have some faith or ever the compass falls it'll be fair and regardless of political outcome we're almost out of time i want to ask very real quick question i think carter page is going to get a very big check one day from the u.s. government per definition yes or no what do you agree agree or not. it's possible you know i mean it's what do you think that maybe the mass demonstration what do you think charles carter page is going to have a payday check is going to be denominated been really. ok start up with you ok all right gentlemen that's all the time we have here ma
