Mueller report which describes how the presidents most senior national security adviser discussed deals with russians that he would later lie about. also a call in which the presidents lawyer is clearly probing whether flynn had implicated the president and asked for a heads up if flynn planned to do so. it is the kind of evidence thats behind the brazen, coordinated white house and doj strategy of stonewalling congress. it is also the kind of evidence that may recast attorney general william ba...

General who could be been briefed on everything. im a little befuddled as to why he doesnt have all the answers already. he could have somebody bring him everything and take a weekend or two weeks or whatever to read everything about what this investigation, how it began. i think some of the things -- some of the word s hes using, there must be something else at play here. is he trying to bank some points with the president. this is a president who is very transactional. is he trying to put hims...

Referencing with that? >> no, i dont. >> well there was a long pause there. and perhaps thats because barr did know the special counsels team did know that they had note adequately reported feending because he had a letter saying that barrs did not fully capture the substance, and nature and the the work and conclusions. outfront now to kari cord re. jack weiss. former assist secretary for the department of homeland security under president obama, juliette kayyem, and former adviser to four u.s....

Because we looked at all the work. we looked at all the intelligence. weve known for -- our report came out a year ago. not only is there zero evidence of the trump campaign colluding with russians period. >> sandra: to be clear that interview when bill asked the attorney generals answer was that he could not say at what point robert mueller made that determination. finally. >> right. thats my point. i just wanted to make sure that i answered it for the american people and thats why the attorney...

Continue the investigation. and what trump was being accused of in the "new york times" was outright directing the firing of mueller. >> bill: there is another aspect of this, too. democrats claim that bill barr held the mueller report back, put out his own principle conclusions first in order to spin the story in favor of the white house and president. i asked him specifically about that spinning. he said shooting right back to democrats saying they didnt have the opportunity to spin the story ...

Look, he is a person that has been very quiet. his work is complete, but i think he wants to be sure, or i hope he wants to be sure that its not misconstrued or misrepresented to the american people. its too important. the work was too serious. so i expect that a person of his integrity would want to be sure this information was communicated accurately and the conclusions he came to were explained carefully. >> yesterday the attorney general apparently greeted speaker pelosi, jokingly asked if s...

Intervening time is the attorney generals mischaracterization of the findings in the report and his four-page summary and the way he has spoken about it. i think the record needs to be set straight with respect to that. i think mr. mueller made it clear he relied on the legal counsels memorandum that says a sitting president cant be indicted. i would be curious. i think many people will be interested to know if he agrees with the more than 500 prosecutors and doj officials who say if he werent t...

Government officials were putting their finger on the scale. in itself, you know, that phrase alone is a worthwhile pursuit. but the way he said it and the way he described it. the next question from fox was, this appears to run very deep. and the attorney general did nothing to rein that back in and instead fed into that. i can tell you inside the white house, it that interview is being cheered this morning. how articulate mr. barr was and how he channeled the white house and the language that ...

Agreement with respect to his testimony or a date. but i know all of the members of the committee believe strongly mr. mueller needs to come before the judiciary committee to walk the people through his report to the judgments he made, evidence he discovered, conclusions he came to. after all, this was an investigation that began on behalf of the american because our country was attacked by a foreign adversary, our democracy, and this investigation was done on behalf of the american people. they...
