Conclusion Mueller News Today

its 4:00 in the east. big day of news today. on capitol hill today a brutal collision between reality and delusion, a republican effort to whitewash the ex-presidents ties for russia culminating in a veteran prosecutor under oath seemingly unwilling to acknowledge basic facts in service of republican conspiracy theories. just a few weeks after releasing a 300-page report after an investigation that went on for four years, cost the taxpayers $6.5 million, a report "the washington post" ...

>> mueller didnt find any evidence of an underlying crime. mueller said very clearly based on the office of legal counsels office memo we would not go down that road. we were not going to do that because we couldnt accuse the president of a crime because he wouldnt be able to defend himself. those are two different things. >> absolutely. barr lied. he said the olc opinion was not relevant in mueller decision but it was. it wasnt true. in addition, barr has also suggested there was no evidence wi...

Doers accountable. let me say a word about the report. the report has two parts. addressing the two main issues we were asked to investigate. the first volume of the report details numerous efforts emanating from russia to influence the election. this volume including a discussion of the trumps campaign response to this activity as well as our conclusion that there was insufficient evidence to charge a broader conspiracy. in the second volume, the report describes the results and analysis of our...

Public conversation happening. >> thanks very much. as you get more reaction please let us know. well bring you right back. muellers words have been at odds with attorney general william barr from when the attorney general released his own four page principled conclusions until today. in those conclusions, bar made the decision to clear the president of obstruction. this is really important. despite the special counsels inconclusive results. in conclusive and conclusive are two different things....

He didnt. the whole purpose that he had an investigation, the whole purpose the special counsel existed in the first place was to make a determination on whether or not there was collusion. he came to very explicit conclusion on that front that there was no collusion and there was no conspiracy. >> if youre saying that congress has really no reason to impeach, does that mean the white house is not preparing for how to respond to an impeachment? >> were always prepared but i dont think the americ...

But what you wont hear from us in this report is that he did commit a crime. of course, we know the distance between those two. we cant tell you hes cleared, but we cant tell you he would be charged. when you read all the evidence in the report adds up to the conclusion mueller would have charged trump if he hadnt been the president. >> frank figliuzzi ive been dieing to talk to you all day long. i guess were left with a bunch of questions about why barr did what he did. why appear seven times i...

A sitting president could be indicted, i think the regulat n regulations were written the year before the 2000 office of legal counsel memo was written. certainly we saw that as a potential issue. that whole question about whether sitting president can be indicted is not really the story today of whether its true and whether its in the constitution. the real story today is what mueller did with that conclusion because under the essential counsel regulations he couldnt indict a sitting president ...

Ultimately go to the conclusion mueller reached that there is no evidence whatsoever here. the documents arent going to be helpful for the democrats narrative. they are trying to shape the narrative that there is some kind of cover-up because they havent seen the actual documents. rob: fishing for information for 2020. opposition research. carley: adam schiff wanted to see these documents too. a lot of bipartisan support but after they go over these documents they will want to investigate robert...

Investigation and to say that his client shouldnt be part of it at all even though he wants to testify. so i think rudy giuliani is doing the work of working the process, working the system here to try to undermine whatever conclusion mueller ultimately reaches. >> we talk about how the president wants to testify. i feel like that is me wanting to workout today. i say i want it. its never going to happen. i know that so i feel like we keep giving the president credit like he wants to testify but...

That happened and that will be what the president wants. >> sandra: if they let the investigation run its course and at the conclusion mueller says no collusion. imagine the world having to deal with that fact. susan collins is a republican from maine. she weighed in and it sounds like she would urge the president to do that based on what she said here. listen. >> i believe he is staying within the parameters and the proof of that is when he came across the allegations against mr. cohen, he did ...
