Mueller has thought about way in advance. >> but i remember -- weve heard a lot over the last two years and i remember -- im one of the group of people i was talking to, republicans on the panel were saying, look, democrats are going to move the goal posts. if this report comes out democrats are suddenly going to shift and say, look, it wasnt really about collusion. what were really more concerned about is whats happening over here. doesnt is seem democrats are already doing that? >> absolutely....

Remember what james comey said. under oath to congress. that he used a friend on the outside to leak memos to help force the appointment, the nomination of a special counsel in robert mueller his predecessor. katie: who paid for it the clinton campaign, the dnc. it started in a very political place and even now with its conclusion will continue to go to a political place. democrats now saying they want to hear from bill barr under oath that if robert mueller doesnt give them what they want, they...

Bridge in america. it also speaks to the need to have a report out so people can make a own mind. there is a remarkable division in peoples minds are made a politically. shannon: bar pledged that repeatedly during the campaign. >> back talks about those around the president convicted of saying things are related to the president, pretty much scrutinized any other democratic candidate this way you would find wrongdoing their too. to end, this president has been the most investigated man in americ...
