For -- to help ukraine defend itself against russia. >> so lets take that to dahlia. how important is it beyond the particulars that the case against the president involved protecting democracy itself? because to your point, there were people in the country who feel that whatever happened with russia, bob mueller did an exhaustive investigation and he didnt charge anyone for election conspiracy. there are people who feel that the russia stuff was ultimately overplayed at a criminal level when bo...

Perjured himself, he walked it back. everyone can understand what happens here. this is as easy to comprehend as the bribery charges themselves are. >> yeah, joyce, youre hitting on that other point, which is, as i mentioned, a real thing. roger stone in fairness to him was not ultimately charged with an election conspiracy or colluding with the russians, but federal prosecutors viewed his lies to congress as enough among other things to bring him into court in a trial that starts today and well...

There are two theories. heres one good for the white house. a theory many are accused of crimes, innocent until proven guilty, if convicted did bad things, associated with people, thats as far as it went, bad apples defense and thats it. the other theory is that the people on the screen you see now and other individuals close to trump and rudy giuliani did know about the extent of this, that there was a larger criminal plot to take over u.s. foreign policy, not for the benefit of the united stat...

This information. and were going see if this cover-up continues because weve just issued subpoenas to giuliani, to other officials, and if they dont provide information, the american people will know theyre continuing to hide information from congress and the american people. and we want the truth to come out, and its going to show some very bad things that the president and his officials engaged in. >> if those folks resist, does that become an article of impeachment? >> it absolutely could. ob...

It, as intelligence, against federal law, almost never made it to the senate, because of the trump orders. and now today, as i was just discussing with the congressman, well, now its gone to the senate and the house. one more thing to consider as congress gears up for what could be a true constitutional question. james madison said it like this in 1787, the president could be impeached if he might betray his trust to foreign powers. thats whats so different here. whatever you think about russian...

Chuck will be back tomorrow with more "meet the press" daily. stay with msnbc tomorrow as robert mueller testifies on the hill. our special coverage begins at 8:30 a.m. eastern. "the beat with ari melber"" starts right now. >> thank you so much. we are 15 hours it away from history right here in washington. special counsel mueller testify before congress in public on the criminal evidence against president trump for the first time. thats why pretty much whatever happens tomorrow is high stakes. ...

To do it. mueller is not going to be impacted by outside forces trying to edit him and trying to limit him. the only thing that edits and limits bob mueller is the internal man. he will be guided by what he thinks is right and just and fair. he is not going to be pushed somewhere he doesnt want to go, but, you know, i think the most interesting question, ari, if he is asked questions beyond the four corners of his report that dont implicate any of the privileges that i think he should be concern...

Election conspiracy. >> according to gates, by 2016 the trump campaign was planning a press strategy, a commu communications campaign, and messaging based on the possible release of clinton e-mails by wikileaks. candidate trump told gates that more releases of damaging information would be coming. >> tells us that candidate trump there were efforts to release information that they were in in possession of stolen data and more of that would be released by wikileaks. >> then as page 58 of the repo...

Officers targeted for the first time clintons personal office. after candidate trumps remarks, unite 26165 created and sent malicious links targeting 15 e-mail accounts at the domain. >> that particular attack wasnt successful. heavily redacted passages in volume one indicated the trumps intense interest regarding clintons hacked e-mails. john podesta was hillary clintons campaign chairman. >> we still dont know the full extent of connections between agents of the trump campaign and the russian ...

It by the book but making a judgment call that ultimately in cases there have been find buss of power its not the attorney general with the last word. thats him coming out of the gates in the letter saying im quoting mueller found no election conspiracy. boom. quoting that mueller came to a middle ground, to say did not reach a final conclusion saying the president did or didnt commit obstruction and now im going to tip on that and say he didnt. whether our system of government and the congress ...
