the problem is the tarmac meeting, andrew wiseman who was conflicted out, his wife's campaign fundingcomey what he was thinking at the time. no one can trust that investigation and most americans here, classified information, they of why wasn't there a criminal investigation or prosecution. heather: that happen to other people talking about the sailor who was jail because he took this picture inside a submarine. >> mrs. clinton was warned repeatedly about the use of unsecure systems to conduct government business and did it anyway. none of this would have happened if not for mrs. clinton's unsecure system set up, if i were the justice department under donald trump i would do what the american people elected them to do which is reevaluate what went on with respect to the criminal investigation and initiated to make sure it is done honestly and fairly. heather: why is it not just a given? why is there a question that it would be happening at the president has to send out this tweet suggesting it needs to? >> a real crisis at the justice department they are defending and protecting hilla

sarah carter breaking news, andrew wiseman special counsel met with reporters from the ap, about paul manafort's case before joining the russian investigation. we have a follow-up on how clinton bought and paid for phony fake russian dossier was used to obtainifieser warrant and then spy on then candidate and president- elect president trump campaign. we are scratching the surface tonight. plus, president trump is reacting and raising new questions about the corrupt russian investigation. we have a deep dive on the dirty dossier you will not see anywhere else. 60 minutes correspondent lara log an here with a preview of the story on the war on afghanistan. first the opening monologue with a lot of breaking news. the evidence of corruption and bias inside of special counsellor mueller's team keeps piling up. it gets complicated and we'll break it down to up. sarah carter is now telling us that the top investigator and the guy we told you aboutan drew we iszmanm met with apto discuss paul manafort. and the next day ap- published a major expose about paul manafort and sources tell sarah c

directors for the never trump movement essentially participating in the mueller probe from andrew wisemanho attended clinton's election night party and those defending the clinton foundation. i don't think it will result in major electoral wins for the democrats. in my district and others people are focus on pocketbook i shall aouls and not russia. >> jon: what about the politics of this. the judge has said this trial is going the take place in september or october. does she not run the risk of coming against the same kind of criticism that jim comey did when he got involved in the presidential election making rulings on hillary clinton and her private server? >> it's entirely possible but again my premise when people go and vote i don't think they'll be more focused on a courtroom far away than they are about the decisions they have to make at their own kitchen table every month. while again i do believe there is a coordinated strategy on the part of democrats to try to time litigation events where they would have some relevance to the election, what i continue to hear from average ameri

these conditions with his team of only democratic donors, and the track record of people like andrew wiseman, what ever let a president talk to this man, ever. >> let me just say this. as the president's lawyers, we evaluate the situation, we evaluate the facts, we evaluate the circumstances. sean, let me respond here. i understand what you're saying. as the lawyers, we evaluate the entire matter. i will not disclose what conversations we have or have not had with the special counsel. i will tell you this, this has been the most transparent investigation and history. we have turned over, what i say weak president, transition team, the campaign, the white house, over 1,000 documents. we have had all the witness voluntarily complied. there has been no assertion before the special counsel's office of any type of privilege, anything at this point. nothing. i always asked the question, asked the president about what? that's what you want to know. i'm not going to disclose the conversations that we are having or not having. we are representing the client's interest. that's what i'll say pit >> sea

particularly the house intelligence community is going to get all the information and like you said andrew wiseman is in the hot seat, and he's the most important in the special counsel. he is considered mueller's pit bull. he was the same man who then supported sally yates when she defied the president's travel ban in order january which is the reason why she was fired, and i think there's a lot more to be discovered here. i was talking to people on the hill who told me this is just the beginning. there is a lot more information much not just peter strzok and lisa page's text messages, but more and more information is coming forward about other people within the fbi and this is within the fbi's higher echelons that insulated clinton and insulated themselves and really politicized the fbi, which is something that let me just take a step back here, the bureau and the agents that are working hard every day, this is something that they are not accustomed, to they don't want and want to see something done. charles: we always have to be careful not to disparagthem as opposed to the leadership, and the

you also have general counsel james baker, who they want to question and andrew wiseman who is over at doj. >> sean: about what page advising mccabe? >> exactly. the questions they have regarding the insurance policy with mccabe. so they will want to question andrew mccabe, the deputy director. he will be leaving in march. >> sean: a few hundred texts and slow release to these house and senate committees. 9500? >> 9500. they will receive those soon. we're expecting a lot by january 11th. >> sean: you see this type of leaking. i have followed your comments on this very, very closely. and then you see that the trump/russia collusion narrative is dying and withering on a vine and now they have moved into a collective media bubble. this president, we have to go to the 25th amendment. what is your reaction to all of it? >> 25th amendment is totally irrelevant to what is going on. it was designed for somebody who had a stroke or was involved in a serious accident and was incapacitated and requires the vice president, the cabinet, 2/3 of each house of congress. it's a fool's errand. it's not

he says mueller chose senior prosecutor andrew wiseman first and he's a money laundering guy.ir path to blank trump goes right through paul manafort, don jr. and jared kushner. it's as plain as the hair on your face. ken delanian is joining me and carol and ken are back as well. taking this broadly, steve bannon is saying, nah, russia is not fake news or a hoax, this investigation is real, right? >> that's how i read it, hallie. for all the anti-establishment tendencies, steve bannon sees the trump tower meeting the way the accomplishment does, which means it is improper for the trump team to meet with a russian they thought was representing the russian government offering dirt on their opponent. so that is number one. and secondly, in terms of the money laundering, he sees the investigation the same way many members of the legal establishment do, which is that even if robert mueller doesn't prove that donald trump xlcollud with russia at the end of the day, trump and those around him face legal jeopardy with how they did business with russians and other developer. no real est

. >> and look at mccabe and wiseman and corals and jewulie e and peter strut -- >> none of that has changedueller investigation. >> but -- >> you know, what i think -- >> they fired some of those people. >> paris, go ahead. >> your former boss came out cnn in a strong way talking to ana cabrera -- >> embarrassing interview in my opinion. i was upset with how he handled himself on air today, i will say. that not how he behaved when i worked for him. >> he is a good press person. >> yeah. >> at the end of the day, the points he made were valid. the points he made talked about the scope that happens when you have a special prosecutor and why he's upset and many republican congressmen are upset that the term recused himself -- the attorney general recused himself. now what you have mueller doing is opening up -- did he do this? let's narrow the scope to what it's supposed to be about. it's -- was there meddling -- >> part of it because trump fired james comey. that's why -- >> if there was, let's look at the clintons. ask mueller why do you have people that you have employed who were in fact do

the expert andrew wiseman, the professional he is.e let the extremely controversial obstruction of justice case against arthur andersen accounting as part of the enron scandal. he destroyed the company, cost tens of thousands of people their jobs and was overturned in the u.s. supreme court in '059- '059-0. that's a great guy to put on your team. he also sent for merrill lynch executives to jail. their convictions were also overturned. that case by the fifth u.s. circuit court of appeals. does the media not care about any of this? it was a bunch of republican donors giving donations to trump, investigating hillary clinton, don't you think it would be the biggest story ever? really? next, of course, you have the demoted doj official bruce orr, his wife nellie. he meets with members of fusion gps before and after the 2016 election and his wife, nellie orr worked for the firm that hillary clinton and the dnc made to produce the fake, phony propaganda russian-trump dossie. finally the fbi director andrew mccabe and his wife jill get 700 g

mueller chose senior prosecutor wiseman first and he's a money laundering guy. their path to trump goes right through pana for the, don sqr and jared kushner. it's plain as the hair on your face. speak to that. >> steve bannon is a street fighter. he's very -- >> so's trump. >> right. that's one of the reason they're tied at the hip. >> steve's actually the fighter. i think trump is more the director of the street fighter. >> the gang leader. >> jared kushner is not a street fighter. don jr.'s not a street fighter. jared kushner who says he's a businessman. he's a business heir. >> bannon understands how power works. bannon understands that the mueller investigation, even if it starts and is launched around collusion with the kremlin, is going to expand in many directions beyond that. one of the things that is the most dangerous to the trump family and the kushner families is an investigation into their financial dealings that touches on money laundering. they're vulnerable on this. it's going to have consequences. mueller has a very sophisticated team of financ

this is all about money laundering, he chose and rue wiseman and he is a money laundering guy.the pang to fing trump, it is as plain as a hair on your face. this is a quote from steve bannon. >> that is devastating. i think accurate and even more devastating is another passage from the book where bannon talks about deutsche bank. i think deutsche bank is the thing that donald trump and jared kushner want least to go into, because back in the 80s and 90s, none of the big -- the new york banks would deal with donald trump. so he used -- he used deutsche bank exclusively. that is where all of his financial transactions goes through as far as we know and if mule ser going through deutsche bank for both kushner and trump, that is very scary. because that -- that's where all -- where all of the -- where all of the money goes, and if there is anything untoward to find, mueller will find it. >> carl, what do you think of the excerpts of the wolff book. >> i think it paints a picture that is very consistent with what all of us have been reporting, maggie said it herself, we've seen it i
