After Slamming Clinton, It's Donald Trump Who Is Under Investigation | MTP Daily

ANSWER IN OPEN SETTING, THAT WILL BE ANSWERED BY THE
INVESTIGATION I THINK. >> THE BIG PICTURE FOR TRUP IS
THAT THIS INVESTIGATION IS METASTASIZING BEYOND WHAT RUSSIA
DID. NOW IT INVOLVES THE PRESIDENT,
FORMER CAMPAIGN MANAGER AND FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY
ADVISER. INVESTIGATORS WANT TO TALK TO
JARED KUSHNER AND THE TOP INTELLIGENCE CHIEF, ALREADY HAVE
PUBLIC TESTIMONY FROM THE FORMER FBI DIRECTOR.
NOW THAT THIS IS INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE, THERE'S A LOT OF
FOLKS THAT WORK WITH THE PRESIDENT THAT MAY FIND
THEMSELVES CALLED TO TESTIFY TO MUELLER'S INVESTIGATION, WHICH
MEANS WHAT? MORE LAWYERS, MORE PEOPLE
INVOLVED. >>> LET'S RETURN TO THE BIG
SCOOP IN "THE WALL STREET JOURNAL," THAT THE PRESIDENT'S
CONVERSATION WITH HIS NSA CHIEF WASN'T JUST TRYING TO CONVINCE
COMEY TO BACK OFF. PAUL, WELCOME TO THE SHOW.
I WANT TO TALK SPECIFICALLY ON THIS PHONE CALL.
WE KNEW EARLIER THAT THE PRESIDENT, REPORTING THAT THE
PRESIDENT ASKED DAN COATS AND MIKE ROGERS TO SEE IF THEY COULD
CONVINCE COMEY TO BACK DOWN ON MIKE MICHAEL FLYNN.
LOOKS LIKE THIS WAS MORE THAN THAT.
>> WE UNDERSTAND AFTER THAT CLIP WE HEARD FROM JAMES COMEY, AFTER
HE CAME OUT AND SAID THE INVESTIGATION WILL DETERMINE
WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS COLLUSION BETWEEN THE CAMPAIGN
AND RUSSIA. WE UNDERSTAND TRUMP DID AS YOU
SAY CONTACT DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE DAN COATS AND
ADMIRAL MIKE ROGERS, HEAD OF NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY.
IN A PHONE CALL WITH MIKE ROGERS HE ASKED THAT MIKE ROGERS COME
OUT AND SAY THERE'S NO EVIDENCE SO FAR OF COLLUSION BETWEEN THE
CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA, BUT ALSO DURING THAT CONVERSATION HE
EXPRESSED SKEPTICISM OVER THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
ASSESSMENT THAT RUSSIA INTERVENED IN THE 2016 ELECTION.
>> I ASSUME IF HE HAD A BAS BAS WHY HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IT, IT
WOULD HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY YOU. DO YOUR SOURCES NOT SAY, DID THE
PRESIDENT HAVE A RATIONALE WHY HE QUESTIONED THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEE ON THIS? >> FROM WHAT WE UNDERSTAND,
LIMITED INFORMATION ON THIS, THAT HE WAS SORT OF ASKING TO BE
WALKED THROUGH AGAIN WHY IT IS THAT THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
UNANIMOUSLY IS SO SURE ABOUT THE CONCLUSION THEY CAME TO THAT
RUSSIA DID PLAY A ROLE IN INTERVENING IN LAST YEAR'S
ELECTION, AND THAT IN ADDITION TO THAT HE WAS TRYING TO
CONVINCE ADMIRAL ROGERS TO COME OUT AND SAY PUBLICLY THAT THERE
WAS NO EVIDENCE AT THE PRESENT TIME OF COLLUSION BETWEEN HIS
CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA, SOMETHING HE PRESSED WITH JIM COMEY AS
WELL. >> ALL RIGHT.
SO WE HAVE JIM COMEY MEETS WITH THE PRESIDENT FIRST TIME,
DECIDES TO DOCUMENT EVERY INTERACTION.
OBVIOUSLY NSA MIKE ROGERS FELT THE NEED TO DOCUMENT IT.
IS HIS DEPUTY WITH HIM DURING THE CALL WITH THE PRESIDENT?
>> FROM WHAT WE UNDERSTAND, HE WAS PRIVY TO THE CALL, THE NSA
DEPUTY, RICK LEDGER, CAREER NSA EMPLOYEE, AND HE WROTE MEMOS
DOCUMENTING, AT LEAST ONE, DOCUMENTING THAT PHONE CALL
BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND NSA HEAD MIKE ROGERS, AND WE
UNDERSTAND THAT THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE WANTS TO
GET A HOLD OF THAT MEMO, WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE INFORMATION
FROM THE NSA DEPUTY, HE HAS SINCE RETIRED, ON WHAT
TRANSPIRED IN THAT MEETING, WHAT THE PRESIDENT ASKED ADMIRAL
ROGERS TO DO, AND WHAT EXACTLY WAS DISCUSSED.
>> THIS IS QUITE A PAPER TRAIL ALREADY BEING DEVELOPED IF
LOOKING TO BUILD AN OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE CASE, THERE'S
SUDDENLY COMEY MEMOS AND ROGERS MEMOS.
>> YOU WOULD ASSUME WHAT ROB ERLT MUELLER WOULD DO IS LOOK
NOT ONLY AT THE MEMOS THAT JIM COMEY HAS ALREADY SAID HE
SUBMITTED TO HIM BUT ALSO LOOK MORE BROADLY ABOUT WHAT WAS THE
PRESIDENT ASKING OTHER PEOPLE IN HIS ADMINISTRATION TO DO AND
WHY. >> THERE'S ONE PERSON IN THIS
SORT OF TRIO YOU NEVER HEAR ABOUT.
WE KNOW THE PRESIDENT APPARENTLY ASKED DAN COATS TO DO SOMETHING,
WE KNOW THE PRESIDENT ASKED MIKE ROGERS TO DO SOMETHING.
IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE HE DIDN'T MAKE A SIMILAR REQUEST TO MIKE
POMPEO TO THE CIA, YET HE HAS STAYED OUT OF THIS REPORTING.
>> I BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT MIKE POMPEO WAS IN
THE MEETING WITH DAN COATS, WHERE THAT WAS MENTIONED.
I THINK THE REPORTING SAID THAT --
>> IT IS INEVITABLE, THEY BROUGHT UP COATS AND ROGERS, IT
IS INEVITABLE THAT A SIMILAR REQUEST WAS MADE OF POMPEO, AT
SOME POINT HE WILL BE BROUGHT FORWARD AS WELL.
>> I HAVEN'T SEEN REPORTING ON THAT, BUT WE KNOW HE WAS IN THE
ROOM WITH DAN COATS. >> ANOTHER ADVANCEMENT IN THE
STORY. THANKS VERY MUCH.
>>> WITHWITH THE PRESIDENT UNDE INVESTIGATION FOR POSSIBLE
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, WORTH NOTING MR. TRUMP'S CLOSING
ARGUMENT IN THE 2016 ELECTION
WAS THAT HIS FOE WOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF ENDLESS
INVESTIGATIONS. >> HILLARY IS LIKELY TO BE UNDER
INVESTIGATION FOR MANY YEARS, PROBABLY CONCLUDING IN A
CRIMINAL TRIAL. THE WORK OF GOVERNMENT WOULD
GRIND TO A HALT IF SHE WERE EVER ELECTED.
SHE WILL BE IN COURT FOR HER ENTIRE TENURE.
HILLARY HAS ENGAGED IN A CRIMINAL MASSIVE ENTERPRISE AND
COVERUPS, LIKE PROBABLY NOBODY EVER BEFORE.
IF SHE WERE TO WIN, IT WOULD CREATE AN UNPRECEDENTED
CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS. WE COULD VERY WELL HAVE A
SITTING PRESIDENT UNDER FELONY INDICTMENT AND ULTIMATELY A
CRIMINAL TRIAL. HONESTLY, LOOK, IT IS GOING TO
BE VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR HER TO GOVERN.
