Contributor. ken, let me start with you. walk through what happened yesterday and where things stand at this point. late in the afternoon, friday, we got word this report, long awaited report was transmitted to the attorney general. where is it now? what is happening now, over the course of the weekend? >> david, attorney general barr said in a letter, he would brief key members of congress on the principle conclusions in the report as soon as this weekend. we may hear something as soon as today...

Didnt do anything wrong? otand one other thing. in watergate, we are roadmap, which a judge allowed grand jury material to go to the congress, but we didnt draw any conclusions. we didnt exonerate and we didnt find anyone incriminated. we just provided citations and evidence and let the congress make its own decision. >> laura: all right. i want to get all of your reactions to some of the worst wreckless accusations from our former intel chief. >> do you still believe the ntpresident could be a ...

The principal conclusions as soon as today or tomorrow. barr also said he would consult with rod rosenstein, and robert mueller, the two key players, over the course of this investigation, about what additional information he might be able to make public. theres a sense of relief around some of the individuals who can be encompassed in this investigation. because we learned from a senior justice department official that there will be no additional indictments. now, those five are claiming victor...

Conclusions even if theyre not detailed and wait and see if theres a strategy for not providing some of it or all of it. can i make one larger point before we get it the minutia and this is the inflection point in the investigation. i dont think its the end because there are other cases that were signed by the special counsels office. i think this is where people i should take a moment and give some thank tuesday robert mueller who did a thankless job. no matter when about the conclusions are th...

Before congress about the investigation and the findings, her colleague on the judiciary committee was in south carolina today and on the campaign trail, we asked him what hell be looking for in the report, take a listen. >> im going to be looking to see if the president was involved in illegal activity. if he was involved in obstructing justice, really including with the russians. and so i think theres going to be a lot of things in this, that are going to be helpful. theres other investigation...

Whatever we learn later today or foreman in terms of the principle conclusions. and i have to say, beyond the obvious fact that there are no more indictments, which is something that a lot of people were speculating about you know as recently as the last few days, you heard people suggesting that mueller would go out with a flurry of a grand finale with indictments of perhaps the presidents son or jared kushner or others. he, obviously, hasnt done that thats a win for the president. no question ...

This saturday morning like we often do on saturday morning. the narrative thats at least gelling on the republican side is that this is a win, even if a narrow win for the president, because no further indictments come out with this report and because again we dont know whats in the principle conclusions. but the sense is that we know already a lot of whats in this report, and the president will be able to sort of let this marinate over the weekend as a narrative that hes not the subject of a cr...

Former special counsel bob mueller. but the passage i think i was most heartened by was in the first paragraph. when the letter says in substance that bob mueller was not denied any investigative step he wanted investigative ste wanted to take, he got to subpoena everybody he felt needed to be subpoenaed. he got to return indictments against the people he thought should be indicted, and what that should give us all is a comfort level that this was a full and fair investigation, and bob mueller h...

Washington, new york or elsewhere. remember this, according to justice department rules, a sitting president cannot be indicted. an official says mueller is comprehensive. barr says he may give congress the special counsels principle conclusions as soon as this weekend. congress may not get full scope of the investigation, at least not yet. evan perez has this report. >> the question is, how much detail is barr going to be able to get into when he provides his own, what we call the barr report, ...

Saying he may deliver the principal conclusions, is he any closer to meeting that deadline? hold up, as the attorney general spend his day inside reading, president trump was on the linking, golfing and meeting with friends at the florida resort. sources say his lawyers are vising him to lie low until they have a better idea of muellers conclusions. will he follow their advice? or will he start tweeting tonight? and demanding access. house democrats hold an emergency conference call to plot st...
