barr, weissmann writes, had betrayed both friend and country.er assistant director for counterintelligence at the fbi, frank figliuzzi, plus forming house impeachment majority counsel and former assistant attorney at sdny, dan goldman joins us. your thoughts on learning andrew wisepen's insider account inside the mueller probe, really pulling up and not using the tools available to them. >> there are some new details here and some invaluable insights, but none of them, particularly for those of us who worked for mueller, are surprising to us. look, we have said all along, nicolle, that essentially mueller was a boxer playing by the rules in the ring with two street brawlers who had a disdain for the rule of law, a disdain for all kinds of authority, and the fact that, as you said in the previous segment, that mueller is somebody who despite having put away organized crime figures and murder murderers, still had met his match against barr and trump, tells us a whole lot more about barr and trump than it does about mueller. and i think it's import

andrew weissmann, thank you so much for your time tonight. it's really good to have you here.ongratulations on the book. >> thank you very much. >> we'll be right back. stay with us. t care. if an opening comes in the last year of president trump's term and the primary process has started we'll wait to the next election. i want you to use my words against me. you're on the record. yeah, hold the tape. lindsey must go and the lincoln project are responsible for the content of this ad. i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh...i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 8 million dogs. nice. and...the talking dog thing? is it bothering you? no...itching like a dog is bothering me. until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to. when allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs. do not use apoquel in dogs less

this is how weissmann described what happened.he president kept secret throughout the 2016 campaign. the prosecutors leading the investigation, knew that making a move like this would get back to the white house and there could be consequences. sure enough, he was to stay down. mueller agreed with him that this was not worth a potential blow back. aaron claims this would hurt this negotiation. we shut the door for her office and had the mother of all big sessions. better to get fired than the voluntarily pull our punches. all i can do is reiterate her point in various different ways. from then on better to get fired was the refrain we tossed back and forth every time we sensed our office pulling back. needless to say that meant trump's tax returns were out of bound. in the end, we would fail to conduct the investigation and we never got an interview with the president. in the end, the wrong doing we found which we chose to look as a result of cohen's operation led me with an unsatisfying feeling of what's out there that we did not

joining us now is andrew weissmann. a lead prosecutor for robert mueller's team. mr.ssmann, it is great to see you, thank you for being here. >> nice to see you. >> i gather that you know nora dannehy professionally. what do you think we should know about her in terms of her jer resignati resignation? >> well, a lot of people know her because she's been a federal prosecutor for decades. she had a great career and steep in public corruption cases so for her to take this action is truly significant and just to put a fine point on it, there is no question in my mind that she's resigning for because of political pressure. if this for any other reasons such as family circumstances, you can be sure that we all would have heard that because she would not want to hurt the investigation by having speculations. you don't resign from a high-profile case like this unless there is a really compelling reason. she must have been really struggling with this and i am very, very happy that you played that clip from pete because it really shows the finest in terms of the fbi and the dep

weissmann spoke to "the atlantic", ahead of publishing his insider account. the u.s.ce department threatened today to cut federal funding for new york, seattle, and portland, oregon. it follows president trump's accusing the cities' democratic mayors of allowing anarchy and violence. but in new york today, mayor bill de blasio dismissed the threat. >> this is just another one of president trump's games. it's throughly political, it's part of his campaign strategy. it makes no sense. it's not based on the facts in the least. it's insulting to the people of new york city, and his efffort to withold funding is unconstitutional. >> the justice department says all 3 cities have resied federal intervention to quell the unrest. prosecutors have declined to charge an arizona state trooper in the fatal shooting of a black man, dion johnson. johnson was killed the same day as george floyd, leading to weeks of protests across phoenix. the evidence showed that johnson fought the trooper, who feared for his life. an attorney representing johnson family argued that a jury should de

mueller's team, led by, of course, his hit man, andrew weissmann, the pitbull, caught in a massive cover-up, just like hillary clinton, almost all of them, guess what, they wiped their phones clean. hmm, is that obstruction of justice by team mueller? we will investigate. and are more charge on the way? first, we start with another blatant lie from the ever forgetful joe biden. joe actually wants americans, year, the american people, to believe that he can beat covid-19, but only if you elect him. if your members what it is in november, december, january. he claims he sounded the alarm early on about the deadly virus and that president trump did everything wrong, okay, joe is lying, just like his friends in the media mob, and well, most liberal democrats these days. joe biden is living and alternative reality. once again, here are the facts that the hate-trump media mob will never give you. we will do their job for them. in late january, just days before, the president issued what was the unprecedented china travel ban, first quarantine in 50 years, ten days after the first identified case

>> also andrew weissmann, so many others.almost every other lawyer suspended or disbarred. this is, this is shocking conduct. destruction of evidence is something that is taken very serious lu by lawyers, we lecture our clients about it. this is evidence destruction. there is no way that this was a coincidence. you know, i think your prior guest, kt mcfarland, used the term cockroaches. these guys are cockroaches too, and what they're saying to the court is a mockery, what they're saying about these phones is a complete mockery. nobody believes it. i do you doubt even their mom wd believe it. it's pretty shocking stuff, and i hope that somebody holds them accountable. we've been waiting years, it's close to the election now. there must be accountability otherwise people will have no faith in the doj, in the fbu, and that will undercut our security in this country, so we with must stop this --fbi. elizabeth: harmeet dhillon, great to have you on. come back soon. >>> up next, another new problem for biden's campaign, latinos ba

andrew weissmann writes in his new book that the team, quote, could have done more in the ties between the trump campaign and russia in the 2016 race. in the first insider account, weisman says the team shied away from scrutinizing the president's finances to avoid being disbanded. wei weissmann says he believes that mueller may have been ill-suited for such a politically charged investigation and that the former fbi director should have explicitly said the president obstructed justice. weissmanm says there are questions still to be answered. he writes, we don't know if the president had other business dealings with russia before the election, how they may have aided or constrained his campaign, or even if they're continuing to influence his presidency. the book "where the law ends: inside the mueller investigation" will be available september 29th. >>> still ahead, we're going to play lindsey graham's latest remarks. >>> plus my good friend philip rucker will join us with his reporting on the latest battle. we're back here on "way too early" in just a moment.

but andrew weissmann says mueller would not say that, explicitly, because mr.trump could not be charged while in office. weissmann spoke to "the atlantic," ahead of publishingsi his r account. the u.s. jtice department reatened today to cut federal and portland, oregrk, seattle it follows president trump accusing the cities' democratic mayors of allowing anarchy and violence in anti-racist protts. but in new york today, mayor bill de blasio dismissed the >> this is just anone of president trump's games. it's thorougy political, it's part of his campaign strategy. it's not based on the facts in the least. it's insultingo the people of new york city, and his effort to withhold funding is unconstitutional. >> woodruff: the justice department says all thrree cities have resisted federal intervention to quell the unrest. another tropical system is plaguing the u.s. gulf coast. come ashore tonighexas,s due to then veer into louisiana and beyond. it has minimal winds, buasheavy rain h already made rivers out of rdways in galveston. ultimately, up to 15 inches of rain

joining us now is andrew weissmann, former top justice department official. mr.o see you. thank you for being here. >> nice to see you. >> so i gather that you know nora dannehy professionally. what do you think we should know about her in terms of understanding the decision by her to resign? >> well, lots of people know her because she has been a federal -- in my mind that she is resigning for -- because she thought there was political pressure. if this was for any other reason, such as family circumstances, you could be sure that we all would have heard that because she wouldn't want to hurt the investigation by having speculation. and you just don't resign from a high-profile case like this and leave people unless there is a really compelling reason. so she must have been really struggling with this. but i'm very, very happy that you played that clip from pete because it really shows the finest in terms of the fbi and the department of justice lawyers and agents and analysts who really believe in the rule of law. >> andrew, is there any either rule or sort of

and andrew weissmann said he entered his password too many times. you remember if someone mueller's team was trying to investigate wiped their phone? joining us, donald trump, jr. don, if you had so much as deleted an app on your iphone you would have been behind bars. how can this happen? >> 100%. it's absolutely insane. i don't know anyone who deleted a phone period. but 27 times? all magically once they are under investigation? honestly who is going to investigate the investigators. this is the most corrupt garbage i have seen in my entire life. if i removed a comma out of an email that didn't change anything, i would be in jail. he can get away with these things because the deep state is held to a different standard. jesse: these are doj phones. they are government property. on one of them you couldn't even see the screen, it was completely obliterated. this is what hillary did. avid washing. remember lois lerner, irs. she mysteriously wiped the emails? this is covering up the cover-up. >> this is what we have been talking about four four years.

they all accidentally, and they wiped their phones clean including andrew weissmann with two phones.e to see an investigation. but whatever moderate democrats might be left, they are afraid how that might impact the election. here now with more, senator lindsey graham. about to break some news about who you have ignited to your committee. james comey has agreed to appear before the senate judiciary committee on september the 30th without a subpoena. i appreciate him coming before the committee and he will be respectfully treated but i ask hard questions. we are negotiating with mr. mccabe, we are hoping to get him without a snack, and after the report, he says he doesn't have enough time. september the 30th will have him come before the committee and i'm looking forward to it. >> sean: are you going to accept that answer from robert robert mueller because everybody accidentally put in the wrong passcode repeatedly? and by the way, i never heard that that locks up a phone or erases a phone, have you ever heard of that? i've dropped phones in the ocean and i've actually dropped one in

if you want to talk about new evidence coming out let's talk about andrew weissmann. >> katie: wisemanprosecutors and the entire country. look can we get the $32 million spent on the social investigation back to the taxpayers? the fact that this happened even though they knew there was nothing there in the trust that was broken between the american people and things like i don't know, the federal bureau of investigation to protect people and not to be used as a political weapon against political opponents that you don't like. people are wondering, u.s. the question, does this affect voters? joe biden will try to portray himself as someone has a deep 40 year washington record. he was part of the obama administration, which carried this out. there was a meeting in the oval office january 5th about these things here and so yes my to do with government corruption and president trump. betraying himself as an outsider who isn't involved in all the corruption of d.c. which has turned into government being weaponized against conservatives and political opponents under the obama administration,

but look at this weissmann, how bad was weissmann? he deleted his phone. that's illegal. he deleted everything. they all deleted. and they all said, "oh gee, we made a mistake. we are sorry." they all used the same mistake. it was, "oh gee, we didn't mean to do that." every one of them, all of them. i think it was 31 different phones, they deleted. these are criminals we're dealing with. and they've got to -- there has to be a repercussion. there has to be a repercussion. we're dealing with criminals. so i don't care if you say it anymore because you know what? she illegally deleted, and her lawyers should go to jail with her, okay? [cheering] and the fact is the republican party doesn't play it rough and tough like those people, they don't play it the same way. they're too nice. and we have better policy. thank goodness we have better -- we believe in borders. we believe in no sanctuary cities. we believe in lowering taxes. we have better, but our people don't -- we have some that are very good. jim jordan, good, right? mark meadows, good, right? no, we have some very go

now it's coming to light that some of the phones that they used, people like lisa page, andrew weissmann was one of the lead people as you well know in this investigation, those phones were wiped several times and some say that it was an accident, some say that it was unintentional, what are you seeing in this story right now tonight? >> it looks pretty fishy. if you look into the iphone, it's kind of hard to erase all the data on your phone by entering an incorrect password it too many times. they have measures in the iphone to prevent you from doing that accidentally. it's a little bit fishy. i will say one of the things that i discovered in writing this book is that the mueller organization was not a particularly transparent group. when mueller testified before congress on july 24th 2019, he clearly had cognitive issues it became clear that they had been covering for him quite a bit before that, limiting access to him, not letting trump people get him on the phone. this was a tight and secretive group, so i'm not totally shocked by what has happened here. >> martha: there were also ph

andrew weissmann, thank you very much for being on the show this morning. >>> just over four years ago hillary clinton went head-to-head in their first presidential debate. >> in all fairness to secretary clinton, yes, is that okay? good. i want you to be very happy. it's very important to me. >> donald, i know you live in your own reality, but that is not the facts. >> i think my strongest asset, maybe by far, is my temperament. i have a winning temperament. i know how to win. she does not. >> secretary clinton -- >> i think donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate. and, yes, i did. and you know what else i prepared for? i prepare to be president. and i think that's a good thing. >> that debate, that debate set the record as the most watched debate in american history with 84 million viewers. and given the stakes this time around, there's a similar expectation of a massive audience this evening. joining us now, pulitzer prize-winning author and presidential his ever toian, doris kearns goodwin. also author of "leadership in turbulent times." i don't know what the histor

all of them belonging to members of the mueller special counsel team including, of course, andrew weissmann lisa page, they were wiped clear of data before the doj inspector general could are view them. those phones had been -- well, the i.g. had insisted on those phones being turned over. there, apparently, were no consequences whatsoever for the wiping of the phones. rino senate judiciary chair lindsey graham responded to that news by suggesting more damning information will soon be released. >> the question is, did they obstruct justice. did they intentionally delete information from their phone because horowitz was on the case. that's the question for durham. my job as chairman of the judiciary committee is to find out how the department of justice and the fbi got crossfire hurricane so wrong. but stay tuned, sean. you think you're mad about the phones being wiped? stay tuned. we'll talk in about 10 or 12 days, and we'll see if there's something else you could get mad about. stay tuned. lou: we've got plenty that anyone would be angry enough about. stay tuned, said senator graham. you k

could implicate the election it's time to stand down and defer action until november, which andrew weissmannd and barr's saying, it doesn't affect the election, whereas the president has undermined him by making it very clear that it plays directly into his re-election campaign narrative. >> ryan stay with me. andrew, as you mention the department of justice has this norm not to announce any investigation 60 to 90 days out of an election, anything that can be done either by the department of justice, other federal prosecutors that could delay or fore the hand of the attorney general or john durham not to release an interim report or any information about this investigation until after the election. >> the answer to that is probably no, what you can rely on is the integrity of career prosecutors, to not be a part of such a violation of clear norms. you can also potentially subpoena ms. dannehy to find out what her concerns were and obviously a congressional subpoena she would have to comply on. and one thing just to pick up on things that ryan and ken have talked about, one thing that's remar

. >> you had a chance to sit down with one of robert mueller's prosecutors and andrew weissmann saidler team could have done more. is that the upshot? >> i think that the -- it's fair to say that the mueller report failed in this respect. they did a reasonably good job of investigating though they probably didn't rely sufficiently on subpoenas particularly when it came to the president of the united states. but the big failure was not telling a story and that allowed, you know, attorney general barr to take advantage of that lack of storytelling, you know, skill, to misrepresent the conclusions of the report. i think that the report pretty definitively does suggest that there was collusion or cooperation -- let's use cooperation or what tim dee snider uses in the film, seduction between trump and putin. there was a lot of crosstalk and cooperative support. >> well, great to talk to you. the documentary is fantastic. i had a chance to watch part one of it and everyone can watch the two-part documentary "agents of chaos" tonight at 9:00 p.m. on hbo and hbo max and hbo is owned by cnn's

coming out of the mueller investigation, we heard this from andrew weissmann, from mueller's team, thato deeper. when asked about the poisoning of navalny, and he can't confront vladimir putin about that, that something else must be going on that people haven't got their arms around. what did you find about his business ties to russia? >> well, what we already know is that there are tremendous business ties there. and that donald trump has been very motivated for a very long time to try to build a tower in russia. i mean, because the story moved kind of slowly, i think sometimes we lose perspective on the fact that during the 2016 campaign, donald trump was actively and secretly pursuing a business deal. in fact, multiple, potential deals, in moscow, that would have required approvals from folks in the government in moscow. so, this is not a hypothetical thing. oh, there must be something missing. we know what he was trying to do. he was trying to pursue business there to make millions of dollars from it. there's no question to me that there would be a huge appetite for trump if he were
