Sustained attack that our country is under, our election system is under from russia. >> no, we didnt, brian. and im not surprised that we didnt. i mean, look. the president was obsessed with one thing today and it was who won. did trump win or did mueller win? and it was all about that, and it was that way for his lawyers, too. i got a text message tonight from rudy giuliani with emojis in it, where he said what you saw from mueller was a grade b horror film that turned into a satirical comedy....

Inquiry. thats one way to go, i suppose. >> i suppose. although theres also another avenue, and tonight the house took a vote in which they allowed committee subpoenas to become actual subpoenas of the full house, which gives them more force in the courts of law because the trump administration had been pushing back saying these are merely committee subpoenas. so i think the democrats are going to get more aggressive on oversight. i just dont know that i see them getting more aggressive on impea...

Which never took place. so i think for the special counsel he was tired of the wait and he never said it but i wondered to what extent there was concern that the actual investigation might be shut down by the president. >> the graphic over sean hannitys shoulder tonight when he came on the air on fox news was "the day impeachment died." do you think thats right? >> i dont think its right at all. no. >> do you think the opposite is true? >> i do. i do. you know, all you have to do is paint a real...

Area where i just fundamentally dont see the logic of the way mueller pursued this. and he was asked about it. and basically, muellers answer was we didnt want to push the president or subpoena him because we were going to run out of time and he could litigate. so what? keep the investigation open. the reason hillary clinton ultimately gave testimony to jim comey in the e-mail case is she wanted that case closed. and i think an investigation hanging over donald trumps head would not have been go...

Team gave up on that. >> frank, last question. do you share jeremys passion on this and were they outplayed by jay sekulow and rudy giuliani? >> im struggling with the time constraint factor. i see it as artificial. and i think theres more to the story that we know. im not saying that somebody pressured mueller to close the thing, but i think he may have taken the weight of the world on and told his team we cant have america continue to suffer like this, weve got end this thing and were not goin...

>> when the president said the russian interference was a hoax, that was false, wasnt it? >> true. >> during his exchanges with lawmakers, mueller repeated his warnings about russias ongoing attempts to interfere with american democracy. he also suggested the fbi is still in the business of a counterintelligence investigation. >> is this -- in your investigation did you think this was a single attempt by the russians to get involved in our election or did you find evidence to suggest theyll try ...

Obstruction of justice. is that correct? >> that is correct. >> was there sufficient evidence to convict president trump or anyone else with obstruction of justice? >> we did not make that calculation. >> how could you not have made the calculation -- >> because the olc opinion, office of legal counsel, indicates that we cannot indict a sitting president. >> could you charge the president with a crime after he left office? >> yes. >> you believe that he committed -- you could charge the presiden...

Hoax. intelligence committee chairman adam schiff totaled it all up from today. russia interfered in our election to help trump. russians made numerous contacts with the campaign. the campaign welcomed their help. no one reported these contacts or interference to the fbi. they lied to cover it up. that was the quote. that was the summation after a protracted presentation. mueller started the day in front of house judiciary, where he was asked about trumps claims of exoneration and his possible l...

Congresswoman, let me begin with an attempt at truth here. be as honest as you can. was there disappointment in your caucus at the gulf between reputation and delivery today? >> you know, for some weeks now we have been trying to lower expectations because in negotiating with the special counsel and his team it was very clear that he did not want to engage in a lengthy discussion, that he wanted to be restricted to the four corners of the report. so we were anticipating i think a more taciturn r...

Administration. robert mueller was a reluctant witness, and it showed. it was a long day on capitol hill seven hours from start to finish. the 89th and 90th congressional hearings in his lifetime of public service and likely his last. by the end of the day he said everything the democrats were trying to prove. its not a witch hunt. it was not a hoax. he could not clear the president. and the russians are interfering in our election process right now. but declarative sentences were hard to find. ...
