To come, and certainly at least one or two of the prosecutors can stay on board to handle that case. you wouldnt normally turn over to a whole new prosecutor a case that youve investigated and indicted. so it would be surprising if someone from the special counsels office didnt try that case. but there are a lot of unanswered questions. now, they could be answered in the special report. it could say what about cohens phone in prague. one it there or was it there. it could say, yes, there is a ph...

It could be just for a fact-finding here. we need a public hearing whey they can assess the honesty of the witnesses, the credibility of the witnesses, where they can support the conclusion of the mueller case. reading the transcripts isnt enough. you dont get the same feeling. did a poll today at a luncheon about cohen and his credibility. before then they had believed he was credible. if they had read the transcript, they wouldnt have believed he was credible. >> thanks. i want to bring you in...

That mueller wraps up his investigation without bringing additional charges. its worth talking about the standards by which we decide whether to bring a charge or not. this is the standard mueller operates under and we all operate under. we have to have a reasonable likelihood of success on the merits. thats the standard. what that means, we have to have a level of confidence that we can prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt. a court has never put a numeric number on what beyond a reasonable do...

Judgments are to be made, i will make those judgments based solely on the law, and i will not let personal, political, or other improper interests influence my decision. >> what are you looking for to make sure that is the case basically as we go forward here? >> i think its got to be almost the entire mueller report except for the limited sections i said about classified information and conduct. i think anything short of that will be seen as a smacking of a coverup, and inconsistent with the tr...

Witness of so much crime in plain sight, obstruction and otherwise that it leaves us wondering how could it be that mueller wrapped up his investigation without bringing additional charges. now i think its worth talking about the standard by which we decide whether to bring a charge or not and this is the standard mueller operates under and we all operate under. we have to have a reasonable likelihood of success on the merits. its a mouth full but thats standard. we have to have a level of confi...

Everything our system of law and constitution stands for. >> well see what is made public. well react to that and as i said, if it is not made public in its entirety, we will use compulsory process and subpoena the report and if necessary, weo reserve the right to call mueller before the committee or maybe even barr before the committee. >> thats a sort of back stop, right? as an insurance against something be choebed off the in public could see, it is the case that house committee can call any ...

He said hes committed to transparency. that he wants to provide as much information as possible. thats something the president himself hinted at. so i think the signs right now are all very pausesative. >> will it be the case that some members of the congress will get to see the whole thing or barr h really control access to the report unilaterally?es >> i think one way or the other ultimately the american people are going to see everything. there can could be redactions and if theres an intimat...

Trying a case, prosecuing a case that bob mueller investigated and indicted. it was the shooting of a police officer in washington d.c. and he passed it off to me because he became chief of homicide in d.c. and i can tell you,hyperbol i thought i knew how to investigate a case. i was a prosecutor for ten years at that time. this was genius. he started with the defendants birth certificate and investigated everything moving forward, probably learning things about the defendant he had forgotten ab...
