sila to think well maybe it can't again well i guess we'll have to see what happens i mean in a way mohler probably will never have to test these allegations because probably will never be able to all these individuals see that he's named in the complaint into court so i guess you could claim anything and never have to resolve those inconsistencies is there any significance to the timing of this unveiling it's three days before a quite important summit on monday. yes i do think that this is important. it seems politically motivated to possibly rail. this summit that trump is planning with who i think the intelligence community has made it abundantly clear. for some time that they do not want to reboot with russia and so this seems like a very transparent attempt to interfere with what do you think it's going to have an impact on that meeting it may i hope it doesn't i mean i welcome. you know reestablishment of friendly relations with russia but it might it might have been an act in certainly seems calculated. ok we appreciate your just being looking after as well as we have breaking news

but i think in the end we will be convinced mohler was unnecessary he'll probably write a report that will not lead to an impeachment or removal we spent a lot of money and attention there is no crime. >> look at those already indicted to make those are low hanging fruit. >> manafort was a manager of his campaign. >> look at what he was put in jail for. >> take 1000 businessmen. >> you don't think those one and usually criminal in nature and i think they were and nobody found unless they were looking to squeeze and get him same is true with : half of the people will be indicted for crimes that were committed after they were investigated to cover-up the investigation crimes that are created by the very fact you are going after them. crimes to be sure but that is not what is special counsel is supposed to be doing to prosecute plan and manafort and nobody really close to the president the next lynn was a national security advisor. look at manafort. how many people here believe in the presumption of innocence? manafort is now in solitary confinement 23 hours a day without convicted of an

official representatives of the united states including the members of this very commission headed by mr mohler we can let them into the country and they will be present for this questioning but in this case there is another concession this kind of effort should be a mutual one. bold move out of your very interesting now last week president from criticized german chancellor angela merkel called germany a captive of russia for working with russia on a new gas pipeline instead of buying u.s. energy peter did trump back down from his kind of stance on aggressive gas wars language you know having now you know face to face with putin to putin get him to back down or to drum you know double down. it wasn't mentioned as a main topic of discussion during the initial statements from either trump or putin but the question of the north stream to pipeline was raised by a member of the russian press delegation to which president trump responded by saying he wasn't sure if it was in germany's best interest to go ahead with building the pipeline but that regardless the united states is the number one producer

same thing with russia we have to be able to do this and i think trump is just tired of waiting for mohler to finish and for the democrats to finish and for the for the the reluctant republicans to back him in is just moving forward on the fall foreign policy that ited states by engaging mr putin and trying to work out some of these nettlesome issues it's the only way it's going to happen and i'm glad that he's finally moving forward president of flannigan consulting and former u.s. congressman michael patrick flanagan always a pleasure sir. and the facts are. sitting on a series of islamic state attacks inside the west syria have killed at least two hundred and fifteen people off a ship rooney from r.t.r. epic sent us this report. but i learned that the security has been strengthened in some way to province after a series of terror attacks currently well on the square near the market where in the morning as you said bomber blew himself up in a crowd of people there are stalls all around people who are shopping we can still see the puddles of blood and the body parts not far from here ther

russia but we'd all like to see the note now on you know on last friday the special counsel robert mohler did charge a dozen russian intelligence officials with the democratic national committee and other organizations in trying to influence the twenty six thousand elections in the state was that topic raised at the meeting. well not only was that topic raised it was the only issue brought up by the two questions to come from the american side of the press conference earlier today much to my disappointment as a member of the press gaggle i would have hoped some of my colleagues would raise questions about other issues perhaps syria or korea for example but trump did say he raised the issue of these mueller indictment with his russian counterpart who he says had an idea trump said that putin suggested that he or that he had his own idea and putin said that idea is in fact to allow u.s. investigators to perhaps visit russia and collaborate and cooperate with russian investigators on this investigation and get to the bottom of some of these accusations in the indictment and i'll have more on

here is one of the first cases on the docket that he could address is maybe if subpoena issued by mr mohler against mr trump who's going to try to fight it in it will get to the supreme court very fast now the only similar kind of case we have in a situation where a president is looking at a supreme court that composed of people he's appointed is the nixon tapes case in which the four justices he appointed were voting against him and the nixon tapes case and mr cavanaugh despite his general conservative leanings is not at all clear whether he would uphold the right of a president you know to flout a subpoena issued in the ordinary course of law enforcement because there's precedent in favor of such criminal justice authority so that could be a surprise in this whole exercise we member one of the other surprises that we came from a previous confirmation of chief justice john roberts he was the casting vote that up hailed the affordable care act of president obama so the idea that we're clearly getting set for a whole slew of over rulings in a conservative direction is premature i think as jo

recording of a conversation between him and president trump about has many played -- pay to a playboy mohler- model. they are painting an unflattering portrait of colin. >> he lied to people about taping the president and other people. not only that -- he did it like a game. >> in an interview two months ago with abc news giuliani called cohen an honorable honest lawyer. looking ahead, paul manafort will kickoff in virginia. witnesses will be asked about the meeting. >> the deadline for the reunification of families was july 26. obviously, it has passed. still more than 700 children have not been reunited with her parents who crossed the border illegally. according to dhs those parents have not been reunited with their children because they are not eligible for unification due to a variety of reasons. in a court filing this week, lawyers with the aclu said some parents were misled by the government and never meant to leave the children in the u.s. dhs says they still plan to make every effort to reunify parents with the children. the administration has not been given any timeline for when it

didn't want to be indicted from being indicted that no one, no prosecutor is as sophisticated as mohler would ever have got into this thinking indict the president. so i've always thought that has been about impeachment from the first and to go to your question, i think what you get at the end is a report which the special counsel regulations provide for where i would imagine that where you may end up coming out is there's no collusion, there's no prosecutable obstruction, whether congress thinks there's obstruction in the way of misdemeanors is something for congress to decide and i think what mueller would do is take that as an opportunity to try to defend the fbi and the justice department. >> kennedy: and the expenditure of the special counsel investigation. >> melissa: in the meantime, giuliani is saying he has zero concerns about trump's former personal attorney michael cohen potentially cooperating with federal prosecutors. it is as long as cohen tells the truth, the president has nothing to worry about. watch this. >> michael cohen should cooperate with the government. we have n
