Committees like adam schiff said two years ago not that there might be collusion but he said ive seen evidence that there was collusion with russia. that is not true. katie: you had the fired deputy fbi director andrew mccabe who has been referred to the d.c. u.s. attorney for criminal investigation for lying saying that president trump may be a russian agent. not just someone who colluded with them to win the election. but in february, last month. saying he may be a russian agent. so thats wher...

Of this issue of collusion but hes referred out a number of investigations already that we know of. we know of other offices investigating other areas of this like the inauguration, so the southern district of new york is very busy. the d.c. u.s. attorneys office is busy. the district of virginia is busy. we have state prosecutors getting in the mix because all these things start to paercolat and bubble up, scrutiny on trumps business practices as well as the transition period around the inaugur...

I should say about whether we would see more, any superseding indictments. im told no further recommendations of any indictments whatsoever. its not as if when we see the conclusions that bill barr eventually submits to congress that we will see any mention of any recommendations of any indictments. im told thats not happening. we can put to rest that speculation once and for all. >> that doesnt necessarily mean that other u.s. attorneys in the southern district of new york or the u.s. attorney ...

We know there are a whole bunch of sealed cases sitting on the d.c. federal court docket that may -- may not be -- but they may be special counsel cases. we know the d.c. u.s. attorneys office is prosecuting the buttina case and russian bot case. hes farmed stuff out. >> hes ceded it into other -- >> the weissman departure doesnt signal the end of prosecutions but mueller is moving into a new phase. >> thats an important distinction. if hes farming out other pieces of the investigation elsewhere...

Folks as a sign that, yes, muellers investigation is basically just about wrapped up and that report is basically going to come out soon. >> theres in my view not another way to read it. weisman was essentially muellers top deputy. he was there from jump street. he helmed the manafort prosecution which has been the crown jewel of the mueller probe. for him to step away indicates that mueller is comfortable with losing some of the prosecutorial firepower thats just been the bread and butter of th...

D.c. and that is a -- all u.s. attorney jobs are important. being u.s. attorney for d.c. is a particularly important prosecutors job. the d.c. u.s. attorneys office is the largest u.s. attorneys office in the country. prosecutors from that office have jurisdiction overall sorts of things that have national residence including all sorts of juicy stuff involving the federal government. in the trump administration, the u.s. attorneys office in d.c. has been particularly high profile because of the ...

Up with regular old prosecutors from the justice department who will take these cases on. so they will live on even if muellers shop is all closed. so even on the stone case and on others, they have farmed them out, referred them for prosecution or in stones particular case, thats being handled by d.c. prosecutors here. so if theres a superseding indictment where they add additional charges in addition to the lying charges that weve seen against stone, that would all be naturally handled by the ...

Preparing to announce the completion of robert muellers russia investigation as early as next week. but how much of this confidential report will congress and the public ever get to see? joining us now to discuss, laura jarrett who broke this jury. asha, a special agent, and laura. laura, i want to start with you here. first, terrific report okay this. what were some of the signs that you and your team saw that made this evident? and number two, how is this going to work next week insofar as we ...

Because there is still very much a lingering problem for him out of the southern district of new york and as evidenced and made this point several times that that is one of the things that concerns the president and the presidents people much more. people closest, and then this mueller investigation. that is where he is still facing a lot of jeopardy. hes already been implicated in one crime there. they just now subpoenaed all of the financial records for the inauguration. >> theyre still workin...

Things off to the district of new york, the d.c. u.s. attorneys office so its not clear more indictments wont come from those offices but i think muellers team issuing their report is the last step in what his work is so we wont see any more indictments coming from those folks. >> and you mentioned sdny and i want to get into that. but staying with you, do you have any ballpark clue of how long it would take bill barr to review this whole mueller report and determine what it can and cannot if he...
