Conclusions. >> something else thats really important about hearing from mueller today, we havent heard his voice in two years, and we have been told that he is the architect, the captain of a witch hunt, that he is some partisan hothead out to get the president. it was impossible to look at that man today, to listen to his subdued voice and to have that image of him. and so i think there was a lot of power in simply seeing the subject of all of this spin and lies as someone who is not some part...

Body, we were invalidated. we now have to move to next steps and we have to be very reflective on how you continue to expose and educate the facts to the american people. >> i want to talk to you about next steps, but lets go to something that you said, i think, thats really important. you said this is a wake-up call to the american people, you believe today was. for a lot of people, congresswoman, it was the first time they had heard muellers voice. for some it was the first time they really he...

Pertains to what the attorney general has said. the attorney general has lied about this and spun it the moment this report came out, and thats becoming ever clearer to more and more people, and thats why you saw his back as he walked out the door because he doesnt have a lot to say himself. >> he misled the american people. >> this is not the first time bob mueller made that clear. he wrote not one, but two letters, where he called out the attorney general and told him in no uncertain terms, he...

But he said, i cant conclude that the presidents innocent of obstruction of justice. i cant. if i could have found it, if i could say it, i would. but thats a conclusion that he cant act on that with an indictment, as he was clear today, as he was clear in the report, because of justice department rules that say, you cant indict a sitting president. so then he says, two options left. congress can, under the constitution, impeach, and/or a prosecutor the day after mr. trump becomes a private citi...

What mueller wants. i want to read what bill barr said in his four page summary, barr said the special counsels decision to describe the facts of his obstruction investigation without reaching any legal conclusions leaves it to the attorney general to determine whether the conduct described in the report constitutes a crime. mueller says the opposite. mueller says the constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing, that would ...

Of his report. and lets remember, robert mueller already said that in two letters to the attorney general, which we reported on, but to hear it from his mouth in front of that same podium par had spoken from, how significant is that going forward? >> well, i think its really significant for the democrats efforts to continue to put the pressure on in terms of the investigation and continue to criticize barr for his handling of the investigation. we know for some time democrats had not trusted how...

Interference. he closed by emphasizing the russia interference. he said the 440 page report is his testimony and anything he would say beyond todays event would not go beyond the four corners of that report. >> i hope and expect this is the only time ill speak to you in this manner. im making that decision myself, no one has told me whether i can or should testify or speak further about this matter. there has been discussion about an appearance before congress. any testimony from this office wou...

Evidence that trump committed a crime, because previous councils even if they did not indict a sitting president per the olc guidelines, at least told the world that in nixons case, there was evidence that he obstructed justice, and clintons, there was case of obstruction of justice, but with mueller, we do not get a pond, we get a drop kick that goes all 100 yards, and leaves us with the political mess. >> bret: mark. >> robert mueller concedes his job as a prosecutor, which is no point in indi...

Even if the president was guilty of sin, i couldnt do it. and number two, i can clear him. i could have if the evidence was there. and by the way, the evidence was not there. so those two things together to me suggest really kind of repudiation of what barr is doing. mueller is saying i cant indict the president but i can, you know, you can write a report and can you read it for yourselves and see what it says. i also cant indict barr, hes my boss. can you read my report and then compare it to w...

Bob mueller has on his mind. but what would you surmise based on what youre hearing, reading about the possibility this could be a lengthy statement hes not going to be taking questions were told. also word that bill barr, the attorney general, is going to sit for his first f network news interview here in the next couple of days. matt, 30 minutes from now, if you had to guess, what would you guess were talking about? >> my guess is were going to hear -- obviously it could be a wide number of th...
