MSNBC’s Nance on Mueller Probe: ‘Most Serious Investigation in the History of the United States’

‘Even Watergate did not have the component of a president of the United States who may be ... a dupe of a foreign power’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

SHARPTON: "But we're talking about, Malcolm, whether a foreign government influenced an American election. I mean, let's not forget the gravity of what we're talking about. This is as serious as it gets. It undermines the voters and it has serious ramifications in terms of influence from a foreign government, in this case, an adversary, influencing an election."
NANCE: "This is the single most serious investigation in the history of the United States. Even Watergate did not have the component of a president of the United States who may, in fact, be working conspiring with, a dupe of a foreign power. The president of the united States, according to justice Department guidelines, can't be indicted, which means Robert Mueller, if he's sticking to those guidelines won't be bringing a criminal charge. But the document itself could lay out an entire universe of criminal charges if Donald Trump was not president. That's one thing we need to keep in my mind. People are really upset don junior and Jared Kushner not being brought up or indicted. Well, that's a possibility too. Maybe it's a counterintelligence component where we don't want to talk about that, but that could be turned over to the southern district of New York for even worse punishment like money laundering or something along those lines. We just don't know."
