Consistent with the law. i can assure you where judgements are to be made, i will make those 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 as we go forward?to >> i think its got to be almost the entire mueller report except for the limited exceptions. i think anything short of that will be seen as a smacking of a cover up, and inconsistent with the transparency he promise...

And so i could imagine some pretty substantial disclosures happening relatively quickly that could either be very exical puatory with respect to the president, ie we have found no evidence the president engaged in any coordination with the russians, right? or could be completely devastating with respect to the president. the other end of the spectrum is we found the president obstructed justice cerealy and were not bringing a case against him because doj policy bars indictment of the president o...

The government and youll notice that the people who have been indicted of the people who have been indicted, none of them were active members of the presidents inner circle actively working in the government at the time. and so again, i think everyone on the panel knows the scrutiny that would go into a decision to indict somebody who is actively at the highest levels of government and i think, you know, the likelihood is that both gentlemen here agreed that that was not the case that there shou...

They wrapped up without really wrapping up. i mean there is the trial still to come. you wouldnt normally turn over to a whole new prosecutor a case youve investigated and indicted. so it would be surprising figure someone from the special counsels office didnt try that case. but there are a lot of unanswered questions. they could be answered in the special report. it could say what about cohens phone in prague? it could say yes, we know donald trump sr knew donald trump jr. was meeting and he k...

We need a public hearing where people can assess the honesty of the witnesses, the credibility off the witnesses, where they can support the conclusion of the mueller case. reading the transcripts isnt enough. you dont get the same feeling. i did a poll at a luncheon about how they felt about koen and his credibility and after his testimony, they believed he was kr credible. befear that they didnt. and if they had read the transcript, they wouldnt have believed he was credible. >> want to brin i...

Going to the courts saying back me up and pelosi needing to be on board with that. i need you to speak to that and something on the screen, abbe lowell, very smart and talented lawyer, also at times controversial in the mueller case. he says "i dont know of a special counsel who has done it better." do you re -- view that as optimism, at least about his client and the president? >> there have been a lot of lawyers and targets of investigations over the years that have complimented a prosecutor j...

Do better if they defined what their objective is rather than just saying its oversight. by that i mean if they have to get into a court case, it would be more helpful to say its in constant plagues of possible impeachment. the courts have made distinctions in grand juries and subpoena fights between whether or not there was a criminal case pending and whether it was a congressional subpoena. and in this case i think they need every advantage they can have, not withstanding what the speaker said...

Maybe more active, quote, ongoing investigations that relate to or grow out of this mueller probe. first there is the trump aide turned convict turned star witness against paul manafort rick gates. he is still as of today speaking to bob muellers investigators. now we know that tonight because of the new word that comes out here that gates continues to, quote, cooperate in several ongoing investigations. legal experts say that implies one of them would at least be the potential misconduct that h...

Running on the economy. late term abortion, abortion. i think his stewardship of where the economy is by the time you get there. as far as the investigations, hes going to push back and continue to tweet and every day say this is ridiculous. and will, it seems, cooperate to an extent. it doesnt seem like we are closer to any bipartisan piece of legislation that this administrations going to be working with the democrats on. >> dana: peter doocy was just saying, sometimes personnel shows you exac...

Detailed document for the attorney generals consideration. that does not mean that it will become public. it does not tell us what will become public because barr is -- is limited by the regulations that govern him. and barr will have to decide what can be made public. of course, the house will have to make a determination what do we subpoena, how do we get our hands on this. thats how jaworsky made its way to the house in the watergate era. the house judiciary committee subpoenaed it, and the d...
