Incongruents between what mueller found, what mueller described in his report and what we know trump testified to at least before a different committee? his reprieve testimony to the senate judiciary committee, the transcript was made available. we know the kinds of things he testified to that other committee. are there areas of incongruents in terms of factual assertions? >> yes, there are, depending on how you guild the lily, how you interpret. for example, youve highlighted one of them which ...

Fifth. think about what that is saying. someone who is to uphold the integrity of the office of the president, i may or may not have an issue here and the presidents comments about those who take the fifth. but in reality hes given so much information and over 30 hours he spent with robert mueller and the president was quick to say i did not stop that and i want him to be forthcoming and whether it will come to pass is a different story. but one would expect even given john dean on monday, the b...

Muellers assertions are false. the mueller report describes paul manaforts business partner as a shady individual with ties to russian intelligence. mueller wanted us to believe that the trump campaign was in bed with the russian spies. tonight we know thats total bs. calling it mueller fakes. manaforts business partner was a sensitive intelligence source for the u.s. state department. thats a big difference. why did mueller deceive we the american people? he visited the u.s. twice in 2016 to me...

Course of their investigation, and we know that because we see the content in the mueller report itself. so i think the white house will have an uphill battle in preserving materials that were already provided to the special counsel. >> what does that uphill battle looking like cnn why are they doing this? >> the white house believes that the congress is being overly investigative and just sort of throwing out a big wide net and being political, and -- and the congress has a responsibility to co...

Is getting raked over the coals for what some are calling loose standards when it comes to the facts. here is he is in an interview for the first book which made claims that were vehemently disputed by those directly involved. >> people are questioning it, why not produce the evidence? >> because thats not what -- im not in your business. my evidence is the book. read the book. if it makes sense to you, if it strikes -- if it rings true, it is true. >> martha: if it rings true, it is true. and n...

>> it was great to hear him say it out loud. its been really frustrating to those of us who have read the report to see its conclusions misrepresented, glossed over, completely mischaracterized by the white house and by attorney general barr. so having it come straight from the horses mouth was valuable. >> in terms of his clear assertions today that it is not for the criminal justice process, it is not for the criminal justice system to determine whether or not there is criminal culpability on ...

Its been really frustrating to those of us who have read the report to see its conclusions misrepresented, glossed over, completely mischaracterized by the white house and by attorney general barr. so having it come straight from the horses mouth was valuable. >> in terms of his clear assertions today that it is not for the criminal justice process, it is not for the criminal justice system to determine whether or not there is criminal culpability on the part of the president, that has to be som...

We have to remember that i think muellers office did a very honorable job, but remember, theyre a prosecutors office. theyre not a commission like the 9/11 commission or the warren commission, and a lot of the factual assertions have not been tested by cross-examination, and i would love to see mcgahn say what he says happened if he is cross-examined, but the president is going to resist it, assert executive privilege. i know people will claim it was waived because he spoke to mueller, but there...
