immediately, all trump supporters, as in the mueller report, became criminals. term, it was clear. trump supporters need to be turned into media fringes. its legitimacy through the destruction of the environment in the eyes. he was called a dictator, a fascist, simply for his love for his country, is that true? you said trump is a leader with opinions. you know, 5 years ago trump and lukashenko were even compared. what do you know about politics president of belarus? i judge a leader by his country; my impression of belarus is excellent. all i know about lukashenko from the western media is disinformation. all i realized after visiting this country is that he is an excellent leader. but the american people are already beginning to look at things through the media, take the event of january 6: people see that they are trying to trample a man who wants to fight back against biden’s corruption of his associates and corporations. do people know who organized these events, why they drowned the trump administration, what the fbi is doing? to unfortunately, what happen

for instance, when mueller was investigating donald trump, you heard this. >> mueller was not senate confirmed. >> you tweeted this week about, quote, bob mueller and his gang of democrat thugs. >> right. >> bob mueller worked for obama for eight years. robert mueller terminated their text messages together. he terminated them. they're gone. and that's illegal. he does a crime. >> most of us remember trump ripping the credibility of that report basically every chance he got. but, of course, this was trump after robert mueller released that report. >> the collusion delusion is over. the special counsel completed its report and found no collusion and no obstruction. >> trump's disdain, disrespect and frankly disregard for the rule of law is well-documented. and, yes, a threat to democracy. but what doesn't hold water here is talk of a double standard between these two cases. there is evidence not just of how trump dealt with classified documents but that he obstructed the investigation, and he refused to cooperate by returning those documents. but here's the political context for presi

but when mueller released huskins in southern california shortly after the kidnaping, vallejo police changed their story, going on camera and asserting the couple had staged an elaborate kidnaping hoax. >> it is mr. quinn and miss huskins that owes this community an apology. >> the fact that they went on national news so quickly just to destroy our reputations, their reputations smeared and possibly facing prosecution. >> the couple had a hero in the wings. then dublin police detective misty caruso. >> i just knew that i was going to help her in some form of another. >> caruso took on the case after a similar thwarted home invasion in dublin, where mueller left behind his cell phone. investigators used it to track him to south lake tahoe, where they found evidence including huskins blond hair on a pair of swim goggles. >> for two days. i believe that i would be killed. and i had to make peace with the end of my life. but at the same time, i had to keep fighting. >> mueller is now serving a 40 year prison sentence for the kidnaping melanie woodrow abc seven news. and we're continuing

weissmann is the former general counsel at the fbi and a senior member of special counsel robert mueller's team. he's also the coauthor of a brand-new book coming out this week, the trump indictments, the historic charging documents with commentary. neal, let me start with you. i'm not a lawyer, as we all know. i have dealt with classified documents, however, and these arguments do seem pretty farfetched, it's not exactly how it works. even if trump was allowed to take whatever he wanted, he was charged with illegally retaining those documents, even after they were subpoenaed. how does this help his case? i'm assuming it does not. but break it all down for us. >> yeah, it doesn't. i think the first thing to note

but that was the german lawmaker alexander mueller. speaking with this earlier now it's in the united states, alabama's largest hospital has opposed it in detroit virtualization treatments. it comes after the state supreme court ruled that frozen embryos or fertilized eggs are the legal equivalent of children of a hospital says that it has to evaluate now whether or not it's patients or doctors could face criminal charges or punitive damages if they're involved in the idea of treatments, the ruling by the all republican alabama supreme court has put into question the future of idea treatments considered one of the best ways for patients who want to have children, but are unable to conceive natural. the language used by alabama as chief justice includes several references to god i as the medical ethics, professor glenn cohen of harvard law school about that. and if it is problematic from a legal point of view, here's a real stay. and assistant chief justice parker is concurrence. he talks about the idea that it would be at front to hims

i'm here because of nick mueller nick mueller and his 33 years of cajoling phone calls, emails mailings, etc. today is the. 3rd of november 2023 and the 3rd of november. in 1943, there wasn't a human being on the planet earth who had any when world war two was going to end. not a one. none. the young people that we see here now, the honorees, the survivors, the veterans had any idea when or how peace was going to come to the world, how liberty going to be reestablished, how foes were going to be vanquished, how tyrants were going to be brought down. in 1943, the world in the world was in a state of stasis in which the future was just a huge black void with no guarantee of your loved ones coming home, no guarantee of the world being made. a new with no guarantee that there would be changes in the geography of the that would divide the free from the enslaved. none whatsoever. in 1943 on the 3rd of november, all that was known was territory that had been lost. the peoples that had been enslaved and those that had already given their lives. that was only that was the only surety that was th

what mueller did to donald trump. hundreds of pages of extra information, ham strung or ruined the first couple of years of donald trump's presidency, and i think this sticks out particularly in my mind because it was my job when i was at doj to disseminate that report to the public. and i remember thinking at the time how uncomfortable i felt that the department of justice was putting out a report criticizing the conduct of someone that we were not indicting, and yet here we are again seeing doj do the same thing to joe biden and i personally think there should be a change, the special counsel regulations. i do not think these reports are good for justice. there should be a simple guilty or not guilty but not reports where we trash people's reputations and ruin their administration's which can be far worse. >> john: take a moment and play out what ian sams said on that point. >> the former fbi general counsel i'll add was also the lead prosecutor in the special counsel mueller investigation said it was "exactly what

robert hur in the way that the white house was critical of robert muller and bill barr -- robert mueller of criticism for their eyes intervening in the way the mueller report was going to be parasceved and i don't think the white house hat gotten enough criticism for this action. howie: jacqui, wouldn't this have leaked in about ten seconds and don't you think the media would have gone nuts over this? >> i think they would have and it's why they would not have chosen to adjust hur's language in any way and would have conflicted with this president's pledge to have his hands off doj and the letter in itself to garland and chafes at his position a little bit but end of the day, garland didn't do anything and biden didn't use any execkive privilege either and let the whole thing get out there in its entirety. howie: garland saving biden from the lawyers. white house spokesperson ian sames sent a letter saying it wasn't that he just willfully obtained classified documents but not enough evidence to charge him and nothing going over too well with the pressocore. turning to the key witness, a

what catherine's friend, sue mueller arrived, the fire was still raging. she stood vigil for hours, waiting to hear news of her front. >> all of a sudden, the fireman were concentrated in one area, looking down into the basement. and the local funeral homes me were there with a body bag. i saw them bring the body bag down in the basement. >> in the destruction and muck of the basement, under massive pieces of what had been the house, firefighters found the remains of the family dog and, to their horror, the body of 41- year-old catherine novak. >> i thought, oh, no. oh, no. it can't be. i think it takes a while to grasp that death is forever. >> what did you think when you heard that? the news? >> i was blank. a complete blank. what a north american to tell these children? how my going to tell them? she was a great mom. i didn't know how going to be even try to fill that void. >> the autopsy report said she was killed one heavy debris fell on her. catherine's death was officially ruled accidental. >> she lived a very courageous life. she knew she wanted. s

i don't believe we saw transcripts released in, for instance, the mueller investigation. and, he may have not ruled it out, ian sams, but he also raised that possibility that there may be some classified information, so there is a way to back out of it. would you want that released, if you were advising the president? >> i don't know what's in the transcripts. if i were advising the president, and i knew it was in the transcripts, and the transcripts bore out what the president said, yes, i would want them released, if the transcripts don't or out with the president said, probably not. but here is the thing, this is lai a steak thrown in the middle of a bunch of hungry dogs, when it comes to the house republicans, who want to keep this thing going, and want to highlight this issue. and so, they've already signaled this morning that they're going to try and dislodge some of this material. i don't know if they can, but just the effort to get it will keep the story going. so, this is a sticky wicket for the white house. i thought ian sams, i agree with evan's analysis, ian g

not in mueller, not in when he wanted to come and answer question and lie.ng. not in mar-a-lago. his defense is to say, when you're famous, they let you do it, same thing we heard him say in his own words on the "access hollywood" tape, about grabbing women you know where, between the legs. so again, the legal strategy, he trotted it out with mueller, perfected it, maybe, mar-a-lago documents and here we go. we now have wittingly or unwittingly, an assist in the delay legal strategy from the supreme court today. >> i couldn't agree more, and i think what you're hearing from people like neal and me is trying to grasp at some hope, because there is the hope that they would decide this quickly and thus, you know, you do tack on those 88 days. that's why i was saying, you know, no matter when they decide, the trial isn't going to start for likely two to two and a half months at the earliest. so if judge luttig is right, you have essentially a de facto veto over this case. i think they may, of course, be dissents, saying that the president, the former president s

on... the only danger was the exposure of the effectiveness of rush gate in july 2019, when robert mueller fact, squeezed out words on the stand, revealed that they found absolutely nothing. after 2 and a half years of investigation, this transition happened where they took over this entire censorship architecture spanning the department of homeland security, the fbi, the cia, the department of defense, the department of justice, and there are also thousands of government-funded ngos and government-contracted private companies. they all essentially moved from an agenda of foreign interference and russian disinformation to defending democracy, saying that disinformation is not only a threat when it comes from the russians, it is a threat to democracy at its core, and thus they were able to launch this whole thing on home soil. tools for promoting democracy and regime change just in time for the elections of the twentieth year. what you are describing is not democracy. democracy is impossible in such a country. i i'm describing it, basically. largely funded by the state department and the in

and of course in that report, mueller's report failed to find sufficient evidence of a criminal conspiracy. and it did not come to any conclusion about whether, trump the sitting president obstructed justice but that's partly because trump refused to sit for an interview unlike joe, biden who did sit for an interview years. later two years after trump left office, manhattan district attorney brought his case against former trump in connection with the hush money payment to stormy daniels. so legal experts have said this appears to be the weakest of the case against trump or at least the one where the outcome seems the most up in the air but it's also probably going to be the only want to actually go to trial before the election. and, then of course, special counsel jack smith brought indictments against trump in the mar-a-lago documents case which, if you read the indictment, it seems open and shut. , and trump's efforts to steal the 2020 election. thanks to trump appointed judge, evening cannon and now the supreme court it is likely neither trial will happen before november. new york atto

but we know actually if you go back to the mueller report, and even further back beyond that, that thesians have been looking for ways to inject, you know, sort of bad information, disinformation, misinformation into our, you know, networks, into our social circles, into our politics. >> information silos that people might be confined to. >> right. but it works. right? the russians, if you read the mueller report were very successful at reaching a large number of people with little money spent on the effort, and so whenever they can exploit people like smirnov, and i don't mean to suggest he's a victim. smirnov allegedly lied to the fbi and ought to be prosecuted for it. but when they can exploit people like smirnov to help spread disinformation, why wouldn't they do it. >> chuck rosenberg, thank you very much. scary stuff, interesting but scary. >>> and while house republicans try to find a case against president biden, president biden is making a case for the house to finally fund ukraine. what alexei navalny's death is doing to the debate. >>> and what the health system says they ca

[ laughter ] "yeah, he says they're going to change the name of pennsylvania if we lose world war ii and he keeps asking for oranges." [ laughter ] trump and biden are both old it is not ideal. that's the choice. and as for the special counsel report, two things could be true it was [ bleep ] political hit job, but also the reality is 86% of americans think biden is too old for another term so biden has to prove them wrong. tha

i mentioned what you said when the mueller report came out.'re saying he's either a rub, an idiot, -- this goes to how the attorney general has operated. you could tell us more than most what a tough job it is, but there's been increasing concerns, some -- attorney general garner. i'll show the -- put in place. he had jackson that come in, but relatively light. then, you have the biden case, as mentioned. you put of special counsel for. that special counsel for hunter biden. menendez, a democratic senator, no special counsel. that you could have won. i'll remind viewers, you have a background in handling the public integrity sector, which is with these highly sensitive cases. number one, as attorney general garland relied on too many special counsels, and does the biden case raised any questions about that? and number two, do you give him an a overall, or do you think there are concerns about his record at this point? >> i think merrick garland has done a good job. it's an easy thing for people on the outside to say, you should've done this, y

also, it reminds me of the mueller report that found there was not a criminal charge to bring against trump, but it had a lot of critical things to say about him while he was president. trump characterized that as full exoneration and convinced his supporters it was. although, if you read the report, it was damning in a lot of ways. the trump people manage to get in front of that and characterize it before it was released. yesterday the report came out before the biden white house characterized it. they didn't set the table, in effect, for the damaging part of that report so that when it came out, they had to then try to catch up with that evening statement. you're right. he was clear. the report said he didn't commit any crime that could be proved. as opposed to former president trump that's been charged with 40 felonies for mishandling classified documents and obstructing justice to prevent their return to the government. there is a vast difference between what president biden did and what former president trump did. this report remarked on that. but, of course, the politics of the

we're joined by tabitha mueller, reporter for the nevada independent.itha, great to have you with us. >> thanks for having me. >> i'm curious, are the locals in las vegas excited to see these old historic hotels knocked down? is specially for a ballpark. >> i don't know if they're excited to see it knocked down for a ballpark, but i do think that people are very curious about what this is, what's going to be built here, what comes next right. we know that the owners of the a's, john fisher, said last week that the team sort of wants the bally's, which is the owner of the property and the real estate trust, to offer kind of a conceptual design for a new resort that's going to be there, i think, yes, there's a lot of history there. there's still a lot of questions, too, about where, you know, where workers are going to go and what the contracts are going to look like when it closes, as well. >> well, the a's need a home for the next three years. i know there's shopping for that as far away as utah right now. what hurdles are they still facing to call the

we saw this with the mueller report, hundreds of pages for what, for no charges, and on hur and bidenand the special counsel investigation we saw this with comey on clinton. and why the reports are problematic for the department of justice. doj is a black and white world, you are guilty or not guilty, the reports allow the department of justice to trash people, ruin their administrations and end their reputations, oh, but no charges. i'm not sure that's fair, no matter whether you are a democrat or republican. >> john: on the subject of fairness, what biden said initially yesterday afternoon when asked about the report, he was focusing in on what he thought was the differentiation contained in the report between what he did recording classified documents and what donald trump did. listen to what he said. >> i was especially pleased to see special counsel make clear the stark distinction and difference between this case and mr. trump's case, continuing to quote, most notably, after given multiple chances to return classified documents to avoid prosecution, mr. trump allegedly did the o

andrew weissman is former special counsel in the mueller probe and also served as general prosecutor. there's so much here and i want to get into it with you and our experts were making sense with nicolle moments ago. i want to get into that and what this means and says. but in the spirit of transparency and keeping it real with the viewers as i always do, i'll tell them i was both reading this, listening to you and others talk to nicolle and struck me and may have struck some viewers there was attention between many lawyers saying here's how it works and here's the calender and here's what still could happen. and nicolle, who is as seasoned and wise as a washington power player and observer as anyone i've gotten to work with, saying sure, sure, sure, but bottom line isn't this the supreme court rewarding the delay tactics and really legitimizing and affirming a schedule that ultimately could mean donald trump doesn't face trial by november and thus got a kind of immunity in practice if not in precedent? >> i would say the same thing, which is what i'm very concerned about is the supr

the mueller report said that paul manafort, the campaign chairman for donald trump's 2016 campaign was providing internal information to a russian intelligence agent. and at the campaign was welcoming the russian interference. now we learn that there is a whole new scheme from 2020, to originally, i suspect, to interfere in the 2020 election in favor of donald trump. which is when this confidential source provided this information to the fbi. it is now coming out in 2024, because as you point out correctly, republican members of congress are once again waiting, or unwitting agents of russian intelligence. peddling a false narrative that is russian disinformation in an effort to interfere in the election and boost donald trump. it is shocking, it is shocking that eight years later we are still dealing with russian interference in the republican party, and it is still welcoming it and facilitating it. >> i guess i wonder if you think that they care. on the one hand you think after years and years of this, republicans would be somewhat skeptical when given a piece of information that conv

donald trump has been doing this since the mueller campaign. >> these are newtories and new circumstancese big picture comment, aside from the fact that you have somebody who used to be the head of executive branch, where they're now been multiple courts, as lisa points out, that have had to take precaution with someone who is the president of the united states, a lot of people are correctly wanting to see legal accountability. whatever it is. whether there is a conviction or not. they want to see legal accountability. but in terms of the political realm, in terms of what you and claire focus on a lot, donald trump is telling us who he is now. >> right. >> through what he is doing. the fact, just the fact that judges have had to do this, repeatedly, in civil cases, in criminal cases, in federal cases, in state cases, tells you who it is, who is saying that he is fit to be in office. i sort of feel like that message is getting lost, people keep on thinking of this as a interim thing that needs to be overcome to get to legal accountability. >> i don't think it is -- i think this is always b

>> well, he did one thing that was admirable in comparison to what robert mueller did. he says at the beginning we can't indict him because he is a sitting president. but, by the way, even if he wasn't, we wouldn't indict him. at least he took a stand mullen should have done the same thing for president trump. and he didn't do it. i don't know. i haven't seen all of the evidence. >> so i don't know if i would agree with the ultimate conclusion. >> laura: victor, very quickly, i want you to react to some of the democrats coming out to pile on in defense of biden today watch. there is editorializing in this report about biden's memory. and i think if you think about what it takes to sit down for one of these interviews and ask to be -- asked to recall information, dates, specifics about things that happened six, seven, eight years earlier. >> and not know what year you are vice president? >> he has got a lot on his plate. >> victor, is that convincing, really quick? >> yeah, well they want to square the circle. on the one hand they don't want him to be culpable and face l

now this is something we saw with special counsel robert mueller, the special counsel, durham. >> this is >> very much expected that he would go before them and answer questions, but a highly it's unenviable place to be in, because rob hur is really going to be pressed by both sides. you have republicans believe there is a double-standard, don't understand why there were not charges here. and then democrats and alice, the white house, who are furious with the way that he characterized president biden's cognitive ability. so this could be a highly contentious hearing i told from my sources that there's no date set, that they're looking for the end of the month that will come soon, paula. thank you so much for that. >> let's >> discuss all of this with former assistant special watergate prosecutor nick akerman. he's also the former assistant us attorney for the southern district of new york, and former republican congressman from from illinois, joe walsh. she is the director of mission democracy and host of the white flag podcast. >> so nick, first to you, robert moeller, other special c
