Witnesses, offer pardons and all the other stuff outlined in the mueller report, there are 1,000 federal prosecutors who have said if i read the report, and i would indict all of these things. >> i agree with all that was said. i think we have to add one more point here which is for robert mueller after writing this report, after doing the two years of investigation, after bringing all these indictments, after writing a report in which he explicitly says that there is this other path that -- and...

Charge the president or not and why wasnt he charged? >> i think its critical that it came today after he did not take questions. but he highlighted an important fact that was just a footnote in his overall report which is what -- the fact that he said that the path forward for accusing a president of wrongdoing is not the criminal justice system which leaves a door wide open. its a door that this attorney general shut when he made that decision not to bring prosecution on the issue of obstructi...

Report, that maybe they assembled it all and said can we charge him with a crime. i guess we cant. its quite clear they knew that going in. his summary of the report though doesnt go an inch beyond what the report says. it is a very accurate summary of what the report said. i did think it was interesting that given this report is 440 plus pages long, he did choose to pull out of it what is a very brief mention plus a footnote in section two of the report on obstruction when he said the opinion m...

Feels about this issue. its going to end putting the decision of 2020 right in the middle of the provincial election. >> well have to wait and see and i think what we saw today is that there is some hesitation on this court to take up this roe vs. wade case. i want to see what happens. what i think we have to affirm and what we saw with ruth bader ginsburg, schmidt a womans constitutional rights to our firm control over body to equal her life to citizenship which is very important. beyond just g...

Footnote as well directly addressing justice thomas she said a woman who exercises her constitutionally protected right to terminate a pregnancy is not a, quote, mother. she was not happy about the use of that word. >> it goes to show the blindness from abortion advocates. the reality is she is a mother and there is a human life and you have bodily rights just like men but men cant use their body to inflict harm on somebody elses body and women dont have that right. i dont have a right to harm a...

Shannon: if youre going to declassify this, why not be more transparent with congressional investigator? comey calls the president a liar and says this is a smart screen for things he has done wrong. >> not the case. we have a 300 page mueller report, a year of fbi investigations, two years of mueller investigation, more than 1.4 million documents turned over. there has unbridled transparency on the part of the president who didnt declare executive privilege during the mueller process. what we h...

Disposition of an aborted childs body might impose an undue burden on the mothers right to abort the already aborted child. difficult to understand to say the least. justice ginsburg returned the favor arguing justice thomass footnote displays more heat than light and corrected his terminology by saying, quote, a woman who exercises her constitutionally protected right to terminate a pregnancy is not a mother. as the debate rages on in the high court the issue is shock to the center of the presi...

Not be more transparent? mueller in this piece of flat out called the president a liar and says this is a smoke screen for things hes done wrong. >> not the case. we have more than a few hundred page mueller report, more than a year of fbi investigations. few years of mueller investigation, more than 1.4 million documents turned over. there have been unbridled, unprecedented transparency on part of the president who didnt declare executive privilege. but what we do have here are a whole lot of f...

Were 28 years old and covering what we thought was the trial of the century, o.j. now, youve written a book. i guess youre saying, no, i got it wrong. this is the trial of the century. give us one line on what the book is about. >> its theodore roosevelt being sued in 1816 testifying in his own defense. we had a 3,000-page transcript that we had to go up to syracuse, new york, to get because its been a footnote to history. this has front page news everywhere. roosevelt had to defend himself, his...

We dont imagine him in this way. we think about our iconic presidents, we think about speeches theyve made, or writings. this is unvarnished. this is theodore roosevelt, word for word from the transcript, defending himself and his legacy. and it is fascinating stuff. so what we did is we took this transcript and tell the story, surrounding that trial that at the time was huge news around the country. but somehow has become a footnote to history. >> the part i got to last night. he casually tosse...
