Headquarters here in new york. Day 860 of the Trump Administration and today was striking at a basic level because we havent heard Robert Muellers voice for over two years, yet weve talked about him every night for the same length of time. We dont know if he was frustrated by how his hard work has been portrayed. We dont know if he was angry at the way the attorney general got out ahead and summarized his work or how the president spun it over these interveing weeks. Were left only with his words as he spoke them on his last day at work and last day in public life. The Washington Post editorial page spoke for a lot of people tonight when they wrote he should have said this weeks ago but make no mistake because of his baring and rectitude and or and ora, he spoke with great authorities and said chilling things about the president and on another front his words were designed to be chilling on the attack on this country and election by russia. Here is how we want to begin tonight for thos
We welcome all of our viewers around the world. Its finally here. After nearly two years. The redacted version of the Mueller Report is over. The fight over the complications and implications is over. More than 400 pages the special counsel lays out contacts between russia and the Trump Campaign and the president s attempts to obstruct the campaign. When President Trump asked former fbi director james comey to let Michael Flynn go when he later fired comey, when he tried to persuade former attorney general Jeff Sessions to unrecuse himself. Over and over again mueller describes episodes where the president tried to hinder this investigation. In the end the special counsel does not charge the president with obstruction acknowledging that a sitting president cannot be indicted. But mueller does not exonerate him either. If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the president clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts a
A witch hunt as the 11th hour gets underway on this wednesday night. Well, good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. Day 860 of the Trump Administration and today was striking at a basic level because we havent heard Robert Muellers voice for over two years, yet weve talked about him every night for the same length of time. We dont know if he was frustrated by how his hard work has been portrayed.

Never seen before. Thats what will happen if it does come to war. We may have just come closer than we think. My big question, why didnt this president go through congress for approval on this strike . And why would he only ask his generals about its potential human cost minutes before the decision . Well consult with our military advisers tonight and did the president really just threaten to jail a Time Magazine journalist in the oval office over a photograph they took . Sure sounds like it. Backlash. Back story ahead. A big night frlt 2020 democrats. Almost all of thoem in one place for the first time. Whos coming out on top at the all important South Carolina fish fry. Lets get after it. The president version of what went down with cancelling lt strike on iran doesnt add up. Thats not stopping him from talking about obliterating the country. Here he is. Im not looking for war. And if there is it will be obliteration like you have never seen before. Im not looking to do that. You can
Im not saying you didnt get three. I dont think you thought about getting me a sandwich and i think the whole thing is a scam. To drive the first comment says, from christopher cuomo. It says, scam. Well said. I have to tell you the truth. That sandwich was good. I never argued the tastiness. Who runs out of chicken . Pop eyes. They got plenty of chicken. Just this one sandwich you cant get and everybody wants it. Mcdonalds running out of the big maces or french fries. Im just saying. Dont fall for the funk, my friend. How you doing . That interview was interesting. Robust, baby. Lets get after it. The president threw his proxies they have to make the case to the American People. That he is the kind offend leadership they want and need. The left has to hear it because it beat them. And the right has to hear it because thats what they will accept. And i believe theres inherent value in hearing someone who wants to tell you you should believe me. Say, the president has never lied to you.
