I think democrats failure to act has confused the american public. theyre not the ones that are supposed to understand how this works. >> digging into that, lets dissect that more for you, liz, 44% of independents say that they have oppose holding impeachment hearings. is this the key demographic here, the party sees a shift with independents on this. how is that going to move the needle or will it either way? >> i do think that independent number is something that democrats are watching closely...

In your head on how that was. lets listen first. >> the special counsels team wasnt able to find collusion between the trump campaign and russia, but apparently you did. >> so mueller in his report is careful to clarify hes not making any decision about collusion. hes making a decision about whether or not he has evidence to indict the crime of conspiracy. if anyone other than a president of the united states committed this conduct, he would be under indictment today for multiple acts of obstruc...

Fairness of nancy pelosi saying independents arent for it, where do you see that in terms of the push for impeachment? >> i agree with liz. i think the reason independents arent for it, like she he said, people deposit read the mueller report. we know there are people in congress who didnt read the mueller report. it is incumbent upon those who know the law, who read the report, who are supposed to be leading this country, to move public opinion themselves by making a strong case for why this pr...

So in reading the mueller report, i can look at the obstruction evidence and see how it would be possible to make a case. but these decisions will have to be made, if theyre ever in fact made by professional prosecutors, who are looking purely at the available admissible evidence at the time that theyre making that decision. and that needs to be left to career prosecutors and attorney general as opposed to a decision that is made for political reasons. >> how much weight would be placed on publi...

Here are in some ways mysterious because they go to the heart o d his investigation. nothing bigger than stone. ben wittes made this point a few minutes ago for you. its one thing to give material to other offices. its another when it seems central to your mission. anything about the counter intelligence investigation, anything about the declinations and what that was, and anything about the president. wh in the third paragraph of the letter theres other information besides prosecution and decli...

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 about himself. bob mueller is thorough personified. >> the greatest testament to that is the fact we got a notification today that no major decision that he made was over ruled by the attorney general. now this is all in the attorney generals hands and he made ...

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? >> 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 promised. theres certainly no regulation. special counsel regulations dont forbid it o...
