schmidt on this story. welcome to both of you. michael, walk us through the piece here.on is a counterintelligence investigation. we've always thought of the comey firing and the mueller aspect as simply obstruction of justice, as sort of separate. but we're calling it kourc counterintelligence and it's a bit confusing. why? >> it was a two-pronged investigation. it had a criminal aspect, did the president break the law in trying to obstruct the investigation, interfere with it, and this other russia question. and it's important, as you said, because our collective understanding was much narrower. it was just on obstruction, did the president break the law there. and now we know that it was far broader, it had national security concerns. the fbi was afraid that the firing of comey was a way to help the russians stop the fbi from figuring out what they did in the election. >> are they -- is this still a counterintelligence investigation into whether mr. trump himself is acting as a russian agent? is that what the mueller probe inherited? >> we know the mueller probe inher

but that seems to be a debate that's still to be hashed out and determined. >> mike schmidt, what do you think that those people who work for robert mueller heard and saw today in watching mr. barr's testimony? >> i think they heard and saw someone who's committed to allowing the process to play out. at least that's what he said. he was trying to sort of assuage the democrats' concerns, but basically saying, look, i will say low this allow this to go forward, i'll allow this to play out. i'll basically follow this by the book and sort of making an argument, look, i'm at the end of my career. i can take a tough decision and walk away from this thing and resign if i need to because i don't have another job. this will be the end of the line for me, i've accomplished what i need. whether that turns tout be tr s true, obviously went doe know. that's a message to put the democrats at ease about who he is. the thing on the report, there's been this longstanding notion in the public there will be some type of report. and people really expect that, but what barr is basically saying is if you

joining us from "the new york times," one of the reporters who broke this latest development, mike schmidt, and fraat the tab msnbc and national affairs analyst and co-host and executive producer of soon to be back on the little screen, showtime's "the circus" mike schmidt. take us through what you and your colleagues saw the other night and what the fallout has been. >> what hand over the last year and a half since mueller was appointed is our attention, public and media, had been focused on criminal obstruction. did the president obstruct justice when he fired comey or asked comey to end the investigation as former national security adviser mike flynn. we learned in the course of our reporting and made public on friday is the fact this investigation of the president, at least initially, was far broader and more significant than we even thought. it had national security implications. most of the top of the fbi thought that the president was trying to interfere with the investigation potentially on behalf of a foreign adversary in russia. and it was in that context, in that environment, th

something you write about, something michael schmidt writes about is this distinction.in for us, as basically as possible here, what these counterintelligence investigations are like and how often they read to arrests. how much more slowly moving they are than a criminal investigation. >> let's say someone suggested david gura is obstructing justice, so they investigate the possibility of that criminal act. sometimes they know the criminal act took place and the question is who did it. sometimes they wonder if the criminal act took place and they want to figure that out. for example, russian spies trying to collect intelligence in the united states. that may not be a crime, but there are russian spies doing things, right? so you're trying to figure out how to stop them from doing it or how to feed them information. now a u.s. person who is working with them may be committing a crime. so you might use criminal authorities to deal with the counter intelligence problem set up to investigate. but the purpose of the investigation is not to prosecute a crime. the purpose of t

michael schmidt. barbara mcquaid, former u.s. attorney, eastern district of michigan. chuck rosenburg, former senior fbi official and with us by telephone, frank figliuzzi, worked for others like robert mueller in the past. i'd like to begin with you. what have you learned about this extraordinary step the fbi took, opening a counterintelligence inquiry into the president? >> well, sort of our collective understanding or conscience about the mueller investigation, everything related to trump has been about criminal obstruction. did the president obstruct justice and the information we had tonight shows that the investigation is much broader, at least initially it was. it was looking at the president's ties to this foreign adversary with russia. what was it? what was that relationship all about? why was the president doing the things that he was doing? that was the original focus of this. now, what this does is allows us to see the world the way that the fbi agents saw it right after comey was fired. they had just had the deputy attorney general provide a rationale to t

secretly working on behalf of russia.s the story is the work of three journalists, one of whom michael schmidt will join us here in just a moment. he and his colleagues say in the day after president trump fired james b. comey as fbi director, law enforcement officials became so concerned they began investigating whether he'd be working on behalf of russia against american interests, according to former law enforcement officials and others familiar with the investigation.rs the inquiry carried explosive implications. counterintelligence investigations had to consider whether the president's own io actions constituted a possible threat to national security. agents also sought to determine whether mr. trump was knowingly working for russia or had unwittingly fallen under moscow's influence. it goes on to describe the agent's thinking at this time and we quote, agents and senior fbi officials had grown suspicious of mr. trump's ties to russia during the 2016 campaign but held off on opening investigation into him, the people said. in part because they were uncertain how to proceed with an inquiry

attorney general schmidt. >> chairman collins, thank you very much. thank you, member casey. i appreciate the opportunity to be here today. you have my written testimony, and if it's agreeable, i'll let it speak for itself and perhaps just talk with the committee about some of the highlights in my oral presentation. a couple of points. number one, this is a subject matter for me personally that through no strength of my own became an interest of mine early in my law enforcement career. i was an assistant attorney general 20 years ago now. i was assigned to the consumer protection division, something i candidly never thought about doing when i first took the job. and because of that was exposed to a variety of scams and rip-offs, particularly of elder kansans. it's this sort of thing that makes your blood boil once you see it and inspires you to try to do more. so it's an area we have tried to focus on throughout my career at the kansas a.g.'s office and in our national association as senator moran mentioned this past year. i usually tell folks that there are, when you cut thr

mike schmidt, let's start with you, i believe you have the fist reporting and some of it may have been cited in this indictment today about communications between roger stone and the campaign. talk about how today's indictment furthers our understanding of what those communications and contacts look like? >> the interesting thing about the indictment is we knew a lot of what was in there. this is about discussions that the campaign had with stone. stone was claiming to have inside information about what wikileaks had, and it seemed like the campaign was fairly receptive to that, stone communicating with steve bannon about it in the summer of 2016. and the most interesting thing that we learned today, the newest thing, was that stone had been directed by someone at the campaign to go out and to make contact with wikileaks. that was the newest piece of information. that shed the most light on why stone may have been thrust into this position. the indictment did not identify who that person was. it did not say -- it didn't say which campaign official it was or how this message got to him,

well, it was, i think, steve schmidt said it was low energy. it certainly was that. he's not very good at the teleprompter thing. you know, i -- i heard two things -- two nuances that were new. one, it'se now a physical barrier. it's not aa wall. it's not the big beautiful wall he promised, of course, paid by mexico. it's ase physical barrier. i don't know, a hedge or something. that he wants. and -- and this -- there was a new lie which is that it's the democrats who insist that the physical t barrier, not wall, b made of steelll rather than it was -- it was almost as if he were just sort of writing an excuse for failing to get the wall. an t excuse to his base for failing to deliver on this ridiculous promise that never could belo fulfilled in the fir place. it was an absurd idea. and he seemed to have no idea of how to get it. of how to get where he promised to get. and to actually build this thing. andth so he just, he wanted to blame it all on theju democrats. the democrats made me do it. >>ma maria teresa, your reactio >> well, i think once again we saw the pre
