The american public and the rule of law will win out when we get the rule report. >> what are you expecting today on this call over this weekend, from the first chapter of disclosure from the attorney general? >> we will be on the call. weve been in touch with our committee all through the night. you know, through the evening last night. and we have a conference call, as you said with the entire committee and team today. well see -- i thought with the letter from barr, it was interesting to say ...

5:00. >> do you have full confidence that attorney general barr will in fact provide as much information as he can within the justice department guidelines, which is essentially what he testified to. >> no, im very concerned about this. its important to remember that this investigation began because of evidence that a foreign adversary of the united states attacked our democracy. this is important to every single person in this country to find out what happened, be sure people are held accountab...

You just got the new reporting on the a. g. barr deciding not to release the report today. why? whats going on? >> they didnt explain to congress exactly the rationale for not providing the principal conclusions to the key committee, thats the house judiciary committee and the senate judiciary committee, other than saying it is not coming today. there is an expectation it could very well land tomorrow. bill barr himself said in his letter to congress, last night, that as soon as this weekend, th...

Muellers findings attached. but he says he plans to give them i guess bullet points, something this weekend. he said he will advise ranking members of the special counsels principal conclusions. i should qualify it. i am presuming that when he says he can advise them as soon as this weekend of the special counsels principal conclusions, i am presuming that means hes planning on advising specifically the people to whom this letter is addressed. just the top democrats and top republicans on the ju...

Democrats want to do in the days ahead to put the pressure on the justice department to get what they want. and what they want is a public release of the full report, as well as the underlying evidence, the findings in the report, and the decisions about, that led, the findings that led to the decisions by robert mueller to prosecute and to not prosecute, that would call for hearings, including unclassified hearings, with robert mueller, other senior officials, to make clear that the american pu...

>> hey, rachel, great to be back with you. >> attorney general barr says hes going to -- he may be able to advice lawmakers on the judiciary committees of muellers principle conclusions as soon as this weekend. he says hes reviewing the material that mueller has given him and maybe hell be able to do that. i know nobody as far as i can tell nobody can tell the volume of material to barr and how much of an investment of time and energy it might take to review it. do you have sense of educated gue...

See. they paid for this investigation. they have a right to know what is in the mueller report. they deserve the mueller report. not the barr report with its conclusions and top line talking points and possibly white house review before it is released. the whole report right away is what we will be demanding. and potentially using subpoenas to obtain. were at the beginning of potentially another battle. >> you were expecting a fully flushed out report here. any idea, sir, what is in that report?...

Notion that this is the end of something. this is just the beginning. >> would you like to see, or should the house judiciary committee subpoena bob mueller to testify? >> im concern that is going to be up to the chairman of our committee. jerry nadler. he has been just masterful, in terms of being a professional in what we have to do, in terms of oversight. it is our constitutional obligation. if we have a problem getting the contents of this report, im sure that will be within the consideratio...

But remember one thing. whatever conduct mr. mueller found with respect to the president, even if it rises to a level of criminality, theres already a department of justice memorandum which i disagree with that claims a sitting president cannot be indicted. it is conceivable that mr. mueller made conclusions about the conduct of the president of the united states that rose to the level of criminal activity, but in honoring the memorandum of the department of justice did not elect to proceed with...

Will give us confidence in the outcome and conclusions, and i dont think prosecutions are over, not by a longshot. we will see continued investigations and i would bet continued prosecutions. >> were going to be learning more about this certainly next week, well need to hear from you then. thank you for joining our special coverage tonight. when we come back, michael beshlosh has joined us. what the president calls the collusion part of the case. and david corn says guilty.
