The Beat with Ari Melber
3/1/18
Ari Melber’s special legal report shows why the 4 crimes under investigation in Mueller’s Russia probe rebut a common
argument that collusion did not occur and could reveal the direction of Mueller’s next charges. Melber fact-checks Law
Professor Jonathan Turley’s analysis that there was likely no collusion, because there have been no collusion charges.

Mueller eyes charges against Russians who stole, spread Democrats’ emails
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/mueller-eyes-charges-against-russians-who-stole-spread-democrats-emails-n852291

Mueller considers charges against Russians who leaked emails during the 2016 election
These new charges rely heavily on intelligence gathered by the CIA, the FBI, the NSA and the DHS, and target a different group of Russian actors than those indicted last month by a federal grand jury.
A possible new indictment would include details on the Russian intelligence operation that released emails that embarrassed Democrats and added fuel to Trump's campaign.

It took Hope Hicks about 10 minutes to answer whether or not she ever lied for Trump
White House communications director Hope Hicks took five to 10 minutes to answer a question posed by a member of the House Intelligence Committee while she consulted with her lawyer, CBS News reported.
The representative had asked her if she had ever lied on President Donald Trump's behalf.
She responded that she had told "white lies" for him, but hadn't lied with respect to the Russia investigation.
Hicks has become a major witness in the investigation because of her closeness to Trump.
