Was no prosecutable case, be on the question of whether there was a conspiracy as well as on the issue of obstruction of justice. corrupt intent is so key here, and he says that he doesnt find that there could be a case. but mueller certainly did not find that. instead, mueller thought there was evidence on both sides of the issue. so this is going to be a prime issue now, of course, for lawmakers on capitol hill to try to tease and exploit out, ana. >> the special counsel therefore, did not dra...

To prosecute the president of the united states for obstruction. now im hearing democrats and partisans carp about this. that the presidents appointees made this decision. i have a question to those people tonight, and that is, are you equally as upset then that senior obama administration doj appointees decided not to prosecute hillary clinton? because heres a fact. political appointees, no matter the administration, run our department of justice. they make decisions, important decisions, every...

Digest this, and i hope that certain facts come out in a very clear manner because there are some things to learn and digest. but at the same time, i dont want it to get so big and so lost that people just tune it out. >> what do you think? >> there is going to be a huge and already is a huge demand for transparency, and were in government, so we know that there are a lot of things that are not going to be in that actual report that are going to be available to everybody. theres going to be a hu...

Not having -- putting their teeth into this. theyre addressing the question and then moving on because they need to fight for their own candidacies. >> margaret? >> so, katy, i think democrats have a narrow path here in that theyve expressed a lot of confidence in robert mueller and that cannot be revisited now just because they may not like the result here. but going forward, they still have everything that happened, which you were there for, katy, that donald trump publicly asked for russias h...

For the senate judiciary committee. calls like this arent that uncommon where they will get together just to figure out where they stand right now. what are they saying publicly or also what do they know? weve been talking about this throughout the day, but members of congress might not be entirely engaged in it. i dont want to cause too much speculation. one more thing, some of the committee chairs sent document preservation requests to the administration to make sure that all of this informati...

Built in. the question is, do voters trust him and is anybody going to be willing to stand by his side while hes running. >> the other question is do the voters trust journalists any longer, trust the justice department any longer, do the voters trust lawmakers, do they trust any of our democratic institutions after what weve seen in this past three years. were going to keep talking about this. margaret carlson, thank you so much. i know you have to go. susan and basil are sticking with me. hey,...

Presidents attorneys made clire to robert mueller that they were never going to sit for an interview. if it came to a subpoena, pump was going to assert his fifth amendment rights. president trumps lawyer said over and over again they would be affordable to let the president sit down with robert mueller and we all know why that is. president trump is a horrible witness. in depositions that hes lied. that would delay the submission of his report and this is a question -- the american people need ...
