And remember too the whole reason that mueller was appointed by rosenstein was the firingov firing of james comey. mueller has not said whether he believes that the president obstruct obstructed justice by firing james comey and all of the related activities. i think he owes congress an answer on those questions. >> i get it. >> i think the principle conclusions is was there any sort of conclusion? we dont flow the answers to that yes. >> they have told a story and have been very complete. there...
