Of investigations under way. >> that sounds a lot more comey-esque, post the hillary clinton probe, but do you see mueller taking that kind of tactic, you know, injecting, we wish we, could but then we didnt, and we couldnt, or just be a little bit more pragmatic about his conclusions? >> i dont know, thats a great question, fred, because when you look back at comey, when comey had that press conference, where he exonerated hillary, but was highly critical of how she had handled classified infor...

Conclusions he should be able to make public? >> i think theres no doubt mueller would have prepared a list of conclusions, based on what the evidence his investigators looked at told them and what the ultimate investigation found. if the reporting is correct on this, this report is comprehensive. that means what bob barr has in front of him, he not only has the set of conclusions that mueller would have come up with but also has all of the evidence to tell him how mueller came to the conclusion...

Transparency a weirdly unanimous call for transparency, which is an interesting moment in the narrative arc of this story. >> i think theres a layer of transparency that everyone is skating over but i think is nils initially very important. everyone is assuming that when bill barr says he intends to release the principal conclusions as early as this weekend, that he just means heres how many people we indicted, heres the cases we brought, etc. im not sure why people should assume that. to me tha...

Telling us he has muellers report and he is not handing the report over to congress. right? this letter from bill bar is not a cover letter with muellers findings attached. but he plans to give them i guess bullet points and advice ranking members of the special counsel of the principle conclusions. i should qualify it. i am presuming that when he says he can advice themed a soon as this weekend of the special counsels principle conclusions, im presuming that means hes planning on advising the p...

Mueller has submitted his report to the attorney general, its imperative for mr. barr to make the full report public and provide its underlying documentation and findings to congress. attorney general barr must not give president trump, his lawyers or his staff any sneak preview of special counsel muellers findings or evidence. >> and according to the letter that bill barr, a.g. barr sent to congress yesterday, he said at some point this weekend, he potentially would be in a position to brief me...

Individuals that are deeply involved in having contacts with russian officials and had questions about whether or not they have potentially made false statements to investigators, i think they can all breathe a bit easier, but only with respect to this limited mandate of the mueller investigation. there are other investigations on-going. the southern district of new york has a broad inquiry launched now. that appears to be focused on the trump organization. we know theyre looking into the trump ...

Most political guy around but he does know when a freight train is coming and when to step out of the way and i suspect hes going to lean in are pretty hard in terms of getting information up to the hill. >> josh, thank you for your time this evening. its an exciting night and still super frustrating because we dont know but thanks for helping us understand the extent of the reporting thus far. much appreciated. >> sure, rachel. take care. >> joining us now is mr. barrett. nice to have you back ...

As possible. so he will be held to it. i agree with jaime that we nide to get the underlying material on which the mueller report has made their conclusions. theres more to come. >> if i am not mistaken and i dont believe i am, the chair lindsey graham, is in mar-a-lago right now with the president of the united states. how do you view -- obviously jerry nadler in the house have their role on this but mr. graham calls himself a a staunch ally with the president. how do you view the judiciary rol...

I dont know. and the same question can be posed to democrats on the hill based on what those conclusions end up being. >> shannon: to our power panel, stick around. we have more to talk about as more news comes in on this. thank you all very much. the democratic chairs of six house committees are demanding that attorney general barr make it public immediately. joining me now for reaction, republican congressman chris stewart who is a republican member of the house intelligence committee. let me ...

Privilege. all of these things make me concerned. im glad he released the letter today and we hope there is more to come because the american people have a right to know. >> senator amy klobuchar of the great state of minnesota, 2020 presidential contender and member of the judiciary committee. thanks for jumping off the trail and taking time to join us tonight. >> its great and looking forward to hearing the next fish story.
