Didnt do it myself for a variety of reasons but i asked him to because i thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel. mark, your reaction to the wacomy is conducting himself today. >> every time that i see that, its like a dagger in my heart. and i believe the majority of fbi personnel feel the same way. it was at that moment where even some people that still believed became nonbelievers. what he did there violated the e though every employee know ps. he intentionally leaked i...

But barr has said he expects to meet the deadline, what he calls the principal conclusions from the mueller report. one of the big questions for all of us at this hour is, blr this includes so much information that it is making it that much more difficult to come up with what barr calls the principal conclusions. one thing you can bet. this wont be the end. once barr sends this information over -- by the way, he expects to make that public. once he sends to it congress, he plans to show the publ...

Fired because of the russia investigation. listen, i trust mueller, but he lobbed that obstruction thing over the the attorney general who was a political appointment. and i think a lot of people are going to want to find out what was the underlying data that led you to those conclusions. last point, shannon, make no mistake about it, this document as it exists today is a total vindication on the russian collusion case with regard to the trump administration and obstruction. but there are questi...

Russians? did mueller decline to prosecute because of the olc mem more because there was some sort of -- >> office of legal counsel. >> right. that says you cant indict. is that the reason why he didnt or is it because he didnt think there was a case there either an obstruction or some other nefarious reason? i would like to know exactly what happened with don jr. and this meeting. i would like to know what his conclusions were about the august meeting when manafort shared polling data. i would ...

Derogatory information, hes not going to get into the deliberation process of prosecutors. thats going to be up to us to figure out and try to figure out why certain decisions were made. the thing here is there is a process for the department of justice to explain to the american people why it is they did not bring charges or why it is they did bring charges. >> there is an obligation. >> i do think the attorney general, if you read this letter that he sent to members of congress on friday, i do...

>> well, i think these other investigations will obviously continue, and i would just say with respect to the southern district of new york, they do report to the attorney general. so whether or not they have additional evidence that is against the president or his inner circle, that information, if theyre going to prosecute, thats going to go up to the attorney general, certainly if it involves the president. i think we just need to keep in mind that the southern district of new york still does...

The evidence that led to the conclusions in it and i know were going to fight as hard as we can to make sure the american people know the truth and see the report in its entirety. >> okay. i want to ask you about criminal collusion. republicans today are adamantly saying because there were no indictments or charges filed against anyone for colluding with russians in the trump orbit that it means it simply didnt happen. why does the chair of the judiciary committee insist on collusion and i guess...

There is this claim that bubbled up that all of this information was given over by the white house to the special counsels office but then later we heard that they tried to sort of retain the right to assert executive privilege down the road, which would basically be pulling back all of that information from the special counsel and not allowing it to sort of be part of the special counsels investigation and conclusions. that never made any sense to me and im not sure that we are getting a straig...

Behind a particular part but it is the attorney generals call and it is worth noting now we have gbrett bear and for those who work in the white , john that the president was not subpoenaed it would likely have been fought and maybe taken all the way to the supreme court but he had the option to do that but he didnt so these conclusions in this report will take a lot of effort to get them up on capitol hill. jon: the most interesting line on page number two under the discussion of the russian at...

Interviewed. i do not agree that this congressional process should be allowed to drag innocent people through the mud. theres a reason they werent put into a real court. and we shouldnt use the court of public opinion to besmur. the reputation of others. >> there are other investigations going on. we may still see some folks in court, scott. >> i think its important to remind people that the reason the statute was changed was because there were intimate details about clintons relationship are le...
