RUSH TRANSCRIPT Joining me ░░░░░░░░ a former federal prosecutor ░░░░░░░░ I want to bring ░░░░░░░░ Sean Sullivan First to ░░░░░░░░ is Rosenstein getting any ░░░░░░░░ to proving any kind ░░░░░░░░ criminal wrongdoing here Well ░░░░░░░░ sure First we know ░░░░░░░░ to Manafort there s ░░░░░░░░ multiple reports he s ░░░░░░░░ to be indicted in ░░░░░░░░ words charged with a ░░░░░░░░ And we just learned ░░░░░░░░ NBC News 60 million ░░░░░░░░ why potentially to be ░░░░░░░░ a Russian oligarch But ░░░░░░░░ in terms of interviews ░░░░░░░░ that interview of Reince ░░░░░░░░ tells us is that ░░░░░░░░ is proceeding with his ░░░░░░░░ related to the Comey ░░░░░░░░ of the investigation the ░░░░░░░░ of former FBI director ░░░░░░░░ Comey We ve heard ░░░░░░░░ week that the White ░░░░░░░░ has been producing a ░░░░░░░░ of documents to Mr ░░░░░░░░ and his team And ░░░░░░░░ fact that he is ░░░░░░░░ senior White House staff ░░░░░░░░ that that s proceeding ░░░░░░░░ quickly than maybe some ░░░░░░░░ But I still would ░░░░░░░░ expect any resolution there ░░░░░░░░ next dwreer Sean how ░░░░░░░░ is this new fuel ░░░░░░░░ the fire here We ░░░░░░░░ obviously the don junior ░░░░░░░░ with the meeting at ░░░░░░░░ Tower with the Russians ░░░░░░░░ now we re hearing ░░░░░░░░ this In the scheme ░░░░░░░░ things how bad is ░░░░░░░░ It s another concrete ░░░░░░░░ for another person in ░░░░░░░░ Trump s circle A ░░░░░░░░ campaign chairman who was ░░░░░░░░ in charge of the ░░░░░░░░ to day operations of ░░░░░░░░ president s campaign last ░░░░░░░░ So we re seeing ░░░░░░░░ link in someone in ░░░░░░░░ s circle and someone ░░░░░░░░ ties to the Russian ░░░░░░░░ So that adds another ░░░░░░░░ of questions about what ░░░░░░░░ interests or other interests ░░░░░░░░ s associates may have ░░░░░░░░ And when when you ░░░░░░░░ at the interview it ░░░░░░░░ you how deep his ░░░░░░░░ is going Here s ░░░░░░░░ Reince Priebus who sat ░░░░░░░░ few feet away from ░░░░░░░░ the president when he ░░░░░░░░ chief of staff earlier ░░░░░░░░ year And even dating ░░░░░░░░ to the cam bane ░░░░░░░░ Reince Priebus was chairman ░░░░░░░░ the RNC he was ░░░░░░░░ in close contact with ░░░░░░░░ president for many months ░░░░░░░░ the campaign was unfolding ░░░░░░░░ s a lot of ░░░░░░░░ now about what information ░░░░░░░░ have gained from the ░░░░░░░░ with Mr Priebus who ░░░░░░░░ have a lot of ░░░░░░░░ from Trump s team ░░░░░░░░ interactions with Russian officials ░░░░░░░░ the last few months ░░░░░░░░ to be clear don ░░░░░░░░ I said hat the ░░░░░░░░ House I meant at ░░░░░░░░ Tower with the Russians ░░░░░░░░ to you because Twitter ░░░░░░░░ deleted important information with ░░░░░░░░ to the Russian investigation ░░░░░░░░ serious is that Well ░░░░░░░░ s certainly something going ░░░░░░░░ be a stumbling block ░░░░░░░░ investigators I will tell ░░░░░░░░ as somebody who investigated ░░░░░░░░ particularly crimes involving the ░░░░░░░░ during my decade as ░░░░░░░░ federal prosecutor sometimes Internet ░░░░░░░░ like Twitter and Facebook ░░░░░░░░ have policies that are ░░░░░░░░ aggressive in terms of ░░░░░░░░ privacy that involve deleting ░░░░░░░░ or involve limiting access ░░░░░░░░ law enforcement for information ░░░░░░░░ it can hinder campaign ░░░░░░░░ know it can hinder ░░░░░░░░ that you know excuse ░░░░░░░░ can assist campaigns to ░░░░░░░░ our election Can ultimately ░░░░░░░░ an investigation So what ░░░░░░░░ ve learned now is ░░░░░░░░ there s a lot ░░░░░░░░ activity on Twitter We ░░░░░░░░ never be able to ░░░░░░░░ exactly what was done ░░░░░░░░ Twitter deletes it as ░░░░░░░░ matter of course And ░░░░░░░░ think it s going ░░░░░░░░ be up to the ░░░░░░░░ people and ultimately our ░░░░░░░░ representatives to determine whether ░░░░░░░░ not we re going ░░░░░░░░ start imposing limits on ░░░░░░░░ deletion of data that ░░░░░░░░ be used for an ░░░░░░░░ later on At the ░░░░░░░░ of the day there ░░░░░░░░ one man in charge ░░░░░░░░ that campaign later on ░░░░░░░░ likely is it that ░░░░░░░░ president of the United ░░░░░░░░ is going to sit ░░░░░░░░ with Spence counsel Mueller ░░░░░░░░ can he even if ░░░░░░░░ wanted to tried to ░░░░░░░░ to the script That ░░░░░░░░ the big question right ░░░░░░░░ are we actually going ░░░░░░░░ see that interview happen ░░░░░░░░ that interaction happen We ░░░░░░░░ seen signs in media ░░░░░░░░ that people close to ░░░░░░░░ want to do that ░░░░░░░░ welcome the opportunity to ░░░░░░░░ that We re talking ░░░░░░░░ a serious legal case ░░░░░░░░ now and we don ░░░░░░░░ know if that s ░░░░░░░░ to happen If you ░░░░░░░░ at the way the ░░░░░░░░ is going somebody like ░░░░░░░░ Priebus was so close ░░░░░░░░ to the president for ░░░░░░░░ a long period of ░░░░░░░░ and may be privy ░░░░░░░░ a lot of information ░░░░░░░░ could be helpful to ░░░░░░░░ investigation It just shows ░░░░░░░░ it s getting closer ░░░░░░░░ closer to the president ░░░░░░░░ And to that question ░░░░░░░░ he s actually going ░░░░░░░░ sit down with Mueller ░░░░░░░░ one we may be ░░░░░░░░ close to seeing an ░░░░░░░░ to at some point ░░░░░░░░ the coming weeks and ░░░░░░░░ here Let me ask ░░░░░░░░ about that If you ░░░░░░░░ the president s legal ░░░░░░░░ you know he shoots ░░░░░░░░ the hip that s ░░░░░░░░ to say I think ░░░░░░░░ it comes to like ░░░░░░░░ said he can t ░░░░░░░░ to a teleprompter Why ░░░░░░░░ you want him to ░░░░░░░░ down with Bob Mueller ░░░░░░░░ t you be terrified ░░░░░░░░ what he might say ░░░░░░░░ that room If I ░░░░░░░░ representing the president I ░░░░░░░░ not want him to ░░░░░░░░ down in that room ░░░░░░░░ all I d have ░░░░░░░░ take the fifth in ░░░░░░░░ to prevent him from ░░░░░░░░ to Mueller The problem ░░░░░░░░ a political one If ░░░░░░░░ president takes the fig ░░░░░░░░ obviously has consequences politically ░░░░░░░░ being interviewed with Mueller ░░░░░░░░ him in a situation ░░░░░░░░ he d have to ░░░░░░░░ you could also have ░░░░░░░░ So I suspect the ░░░░░░░░ that the president is ░░░░░░░░ political figure and has ░░░░░░░░ worry above and beyond ░░░░░░░░ a typical person would ░░░░░░░░ to worry about has ░░░░░░░░ worry about those political ░░░░░░░░ I think that will ░░░░░░░░ whether or not he ░░░░░░░░ sit for an interview ░░░░░░░░ also suspect that to ░░░░░░░░ a very fruitful interview ░░░░░░░░ Robert Mueller The optics ░░░░░░░░ something to consider We ░░░░░░░░ remember President Clinton Thanks ░░░░░░░░ much for both of ░░░░░░░░ Appreciate it.
