Page 790 - Conclusions News Today

New york is looking into his financial wrongdoing, et cetera. theres so much we dont know. until we see the actual substance of the mueller report, him outlining the actual conduct that occurred by the president, what he actually knew during the election, we really cannot draw any conclusions or be disappointed here. >> thats if we see it. sarah, thats if we see it. imagine living in a world -- i came to you last on purpose because i knew you were going to say i told you so. i follow you on twit...

Of it at any attempt by the democrats to sort of lurch behind those findings and conclusions to actually get, you know, every single thing that the special counsel did, i dont think thats going to happen. i think those subpoenas will be resisted and i dont think that theres any court thats going to compel the department to turn over what the department doesnt want to turn over. neil: do you think the issue of russians in kahoots and to rig the 2016 election has been put to rest? >> i hope so. i ...

Is learning what these principal conclusions are. we know robert muellers mandate was russias interference in the 2016 election and whether there were any coordination or links between members of the trump campaign and russians. so he sort of laid out some bread crumbs and told stories through his court filings, but hes never answered that fundamental question of whether there was collusion. so hopefully, presumably according to the attorney general, we could find out over the weekend the answer...

Probe. what does it tell you that this report, at least the principal conclusions, could not be released today? >> i think theres a lot more work to do. clearly there is a lot to go through. theyre sitting probably in a skiff. its a secret compartmentalized area of the justice department, going through this, going through all the classified information. theyre probably trying to figure out lots of lawyers involved, lots of aides are involved trying to figure out what they can release. it does so...

We did not expect to see, like the issue about the principal conclusions, the idea that he was going to work through this weekend and get this out as quickly as possible. and i think those are positive signs, and theyre working through, theyre trying to be transparent, they say, well see. >> and perhaps barr trying to be rather honest today by saying i need a little bit more time. not going to release that information today. it may come tomorrow. the letter said sometime this weekend. so steve, ...

Distinctions clear, no one has been charged with directly conspiring with the russians to help donald trump get elected, but democrats have pointed to the 37 indictments and guilty pleas involving michael flynn to paul manafort to roger stone of evidence as dishonest individuals who lied. thats why we have an investigation. bob muellers mandate was to press, to find out an answer to that question. i think were going to be close to finding out that answer. i do think the american people are entit...

We continue with our breaking news. special counsel robert muellers report is now in the hands of the u.s. attorney general william barr. at this hour he is at the department of justice continuing to review the report and says he may hand over the, quote, principal conclusions to lawmakers as soon as this weekend but no further indictments will be coming. back with me, sara murray, michael zeldin and david swerdlick. good to see you all back. the attorney general has said in the past that he, qu...

In a position to advise you of principle conclusions as soon as this weekend. a justice department official tells cnn those conclusions are expected to be made public. a senior justice department official also added there will be no further indictments from the special counsel. in a major victory for the president, mueller ended his probe without interviewing trump. the president answered only a set of written questions about russian collusion. none about obstruction of justice. in the hours bef...

Narrative arc of this story. >> i think theres a layer of transparency that everyone is skating over but i think is nilnils 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 that sentence read like maybe th maybe prepared an executive summary that identifies the princ...

Justice this morning, rod rosenstein, deputy attorney general also arrived to work with him, to scrutinize and analyze his confident report that robert mueller handed to an attorney general yesterday. the report is comprehensive, we dont know how lengthy it is. the attorney general wants to provide congress with information this weekend. we could expect tomorrow to be the day that bill barr provides congress with a document detailing what the principle conclusions are. we dont know how lengthy t...
