Leave him alone, let him finish. bob mueller knows there was no crime. so, when bill barr comes out and says we dont have a crime here, its over. >> you know, jon meacham, its interesting watching mueller. this was in the "new york times" about mueller. he said nothing and the president said everything. he worked in secret allowing the president to fill the void with reckless accusations of a witch hunt. his damning conclusions, the doover lacked clarity. >> he took a mulligan and hit it in the ...

President trump. i hadnt heard that before, she said. quote, ive mainly listened to conservative news and i hadnt heard anything negative about that report and president trump has been exonerated. the mueller report says what now? obstruction of -- are you telling me theres bad stuff about the president in there? i mean, thats not just this one constituents take on this. right, im not saying this to poke fun of any of congressman amashs constituents. this is what happens in the country. when you...

Serious no questions comments yesterday might not have the impact that they did. but they have had a remarkable impact. i mean, as i said last night on the show it is one thing to read his conclusions in black and white on paper. it is another thing to hear him deliver them in person. and in particular to hear him say what he thinks are the important points of his investigation and their findings that he wants to highlight. to hear him say in no uncertain terms we were not allowed to charge the ...

You can try to get rid of robert mueller as special counsel and that will be this concept of no collusion, no obstruction of justice is a legal fiction. its been completely debunked. it doesnt exist. shouldnt be propagated. the thing with him saying he and rosenstein didnt come to the same conclusion as robert mueller. different minds can come to different conclusions. the job of robert mueller as special counsel was to investigate. he made it clear that he cant indict a sitting president so he ...

This, how about that historical resonance? you have a lot of politicians saying there are political lessons to be learned from what happened back in the late 90s. >> which i think there are, but the wrong conclusions are being drawn. if you look at ken starr, the prosecutor there had been rifling through clintons proverbial underwear drawers, if you like, for years and years. the worst he can come up with is that famous semen-stained dress of monica lewinskys. donald trumps -- not one year of do...

Made the determination that there was a crime. i didnt talk to him directly about the fact that we were making the decision, but i am told that his reaction to that was that it was my -- my prerogative as attorney general to make that decision. >> a little different isnt it? the special counsel did not agree with how the attorney general presented things there. so he wrote to him saying in part, quote, there is now public confusion about critical aspects of the results of our investigation. beca...

And testify and read out loud a lot of his findings, in many ways it actually makes those conclusions more salient. it gives them more credibility. >> sits there in front of congress and reads it out loud, youre saying that would be more effective -- as you say, 3% of americans have read that report. debbie dingell has this reservation talking about impeachment. >> theres a very -- a theme throughout this report about how russia is trying to divide this country. i dont to want play into russias ...

You are getting more smoke. >> what i believe is on this question of how it started is red-faced anger. there are legitimate questions. what is in that fisa warrant? what i disagree with this people jumping to conclusions on television. they definitely lied, no they didnt lie. >> the 48 page mueller report -- >> the fisa applications. >> in the context. finally, should it not be more obvious to anyone turning a blind eye to russian interference in the 2016 presidential election that turning a bl...

We fight that. >> if the conclusions of the study were so shocking and so earthshaking -- why havent you published your study? theres a lot that we dont know. we have anecdotes that are very provocative. but we dont know. we dont have the data. >> i dont know what happened to the study. i moved to switzerland in 1965. and lost touch with what was going on. all that research should be seen. this study was the first, and its also the last. it will never be done again, it will never be replicated. ...
