>> there is no rush. this has been a very sober, deliberate process. more than 300 pages in the mueller report. and the only public comments from the principal investigator, the special counsel robert mueller yesterday, he talked about the fact that he could not clear the president from any implication he had committed a crime, said the criminal justice system is not the appropriate venue in which to try this but that there are alternatives under the constitution. >> nancy pelosi says this in te...

Call in which flynns cooperation with the government is being discussed and the president having positive feelings about michael flynn being discussed, the idea being that somehow theres a suggestion by mr. dowd, the presidents attorney at the time, dont say anything about the president, he wants to pardon you. im sorry, john dowd. thats the implication. >> right, there you see john dowd on the screen here. thats exactly the implication here, jake. the mere fact that theyre saying, hey, listen, ...

Compelling. mueller did exactly what the special counsel regulations i think anticipated which was a thorough investigation and a report laying this out and now really, and muellers clear implication yesterday as the balls in congress court. >> neal, good to talk to you as always, former acting solicitor general under president obama who wrote the most recent special counsel regulations. up next, a look at how california is taking election security into its own hands overhauling its voting sys...

Mr. trump has no way to defend himself and look, i understand its frustrating for a lot of people. and its frustrating for for me, too. at least i can understand what mr. mueller is saying here and at the same time, i think what the ultimate implication of what mueller said today and it doesnt require a fancy lawyer or anything liking that to figure it out is congress, this ball in your court right now. and ive done the investigation. ive spent a long time, two years, interviewed hundreds of wit...

Bipartisan support. so there are real world consequences to trumps denial of russian interference. in fact, people forget in the mueller report, its not just that trump ordered mcgahn to shut down the investigation because he didnt want there to be any implication that the trump campaign helped russia. he didnt want the investigation at all into what russia had done in 2016. >> lets have a forward-looking investigation. think about that. the president of the united states saying we dont want to ...

President had not obstructed justice. one of the lingering questions after the report is did mueller expect that barr would make a decision about obstruction or did he anticipate that congress would through the impeachment process. what i heard from what he was saying yesterday and his discussion of the department of justice policy and how it bound the entirety of the department of justice, including his office, which resided within the department of justice, was that the department of justice c...

I think the most important thing we heard from him, remember hes deing with a several hundred page report and what does he choose to pluck out in his press conference today? he plucks out the fact he said look, if i could clear the president, i would. i have the raw legal power to do so. if i thought he was innocent. he pointedly does not do that. and then second, he said, i couldnt indict him. i didnt have the power to. and so because of that, he says it would be unfair to do what mr. deniro sa...

Mueller found and what mueller didnt find. from mule irs perspective, this was an actual to set the record straight. the statement yesterday also coincided with muellers resignation from public service. i think from his perspective, the timing is right,right, the circumstances are right for him to come out, to say in his own words what he found, what he didnt find, and then i think impliedly where the next step should be taken. >> the implication seemed pretty heavy-handed to some members of con...

There is a view inside the white house and its pretty strong that mueller basically took himself off the table, took himself off the chess board and is no longer a threat in congressional testimony and that could be the most lasting implication of yesterday. this entire time ive been trying to get some sort of nautical pun in like jonathan lemire did with submarines, maybe i will say deep six or 66 or the arresting wire. well done, jonathan. >> i bring my a game every morning on the show. >> han...

Threshold. he made clear of his demands, passing a bill that would call orthodox to serve in the army and give them credibility and the government. with no negotiations between all three, the country faced a coalition building standstill. >> there is an alternative motive. there are no back channels. we once the bill to pass. i think thats what separates us from forming a government or going to an early election. >> benjamin netanyahu facing three indictments on corruption and bribery charges ho...
