we have no idea who's involved or what they're about, but democratic senator of connecticut richard blumenthal bob mueller did not do here was, in fact, follow the money. none of the financial crimes are in this report. none of the deutsche bank leads have been followed. that presumably is what the southern district of new york is doing, and that's one of the reasons that perhaps donald trump is an unindicted co-conspirator there in effect, individual number one. >> aha. >> joining now is former prosecutor kathy fleming and legal analyst danny cevalos. danny, what do you make of the follow the money? >> as a broader prosecuteyoraia response it makes sense. but he was to investigate russian collusion and possible obstruction of justice. in a sense following the money wasn't part of the mandate. and mueller smartly farmed out or referred out anything to do with outside of his original mandate. if you remember, during the manafort trial, manafort's attorneys actually filed a motion to throw out his prosecution on exactly that argument, that the special counsel had exceeded his mandate. so mueller
