Ways Mueller News Today

America. We talk about testing of the guardrails. In most cases the guardrails of democracy have held up. In this case we might find out that bill barr broke one of those guardrails and we are still dealing with it. All right. This is as good a place to end as any. My thanks today to joyce, frank, matt. That does it for this hour. Thank you so much for watching not just this hour but all day long. Were grateful to all of you. Mtp daily with my friend chuck todd starts now. Well, if its wednesday...

Report and all of the ways mueller found president trump tried to impede and obstruct the investigation into russias interference and the russia-related investigation into him and members of his campaign and members of his administration. there arent specific articles of impeachment that are about that scandal in 2016. but what they are nailing him on and what they are about to impeach him on is his behavior toward ukraine. and they are explicitly noting -- i didnt expect this but they are expli...

Of the second article of impeachment. the second article of impeachment, same thing. quote, these actions were consistent with president trumps previous efforts to undermine u.s. government investigations into foreign interference in u.s. elections. so, no, they did not do a separate article of impeachment against president trump about president trump welcoming russias interference in the 2016 elections and him, you know, trying to take maximum advantage of their interference in our election at ...

Really wasnt going to watch the hearing. well, listen to this. >> so, i wasnt going to watch at all, and then i started thinking about it and then i watched a little bit at the very beginning and i couldnt believe what i was seeing. i ended up watching more than i wanted to. then i watched the afternoon because, you know, it was such a big crater at the beginning, and i said now i have to watch -- i have to watch shifty shift because he just went through three hours and now he has to go through ...

I said now i have to watch -- i have to watch shifty shift because he just went through three hours and now he has to go through schiff. and i said this is going to be very interesting. and ive never seen anything like it. >> so, hes not going to watch but he watched a lot. >> yeah, yeah, yeah, he was always going to watch. i mean, to sort of fact check what his statement was there, oh, i wasnt sure if i was going to watch. he was always going to watch. he was always thinking about this big day,...

Speaker nancy pelosi, jerry nadler, and adam schiff after muellers historic testimony. the biggest question perhaps is what do democrats do now? as we speak, weve been getting tape of the president who is speaking to reporters at the white house. no surprise here. he is claiming vindication. here is some of what he said at the top of his remarks on his way to a fundraiser in west virginia. >> this witch hunt thats been going on for a long time, pretty much from the time i came down on the escala...

Know, as chuck just mentioned, no one shouldve been surprised that mueller was going to confine all of his remarks to the substance of the report. so that being said, their goal should have been to get as much of the most significant material in that report out and communicated to the public in a way thats memorable and easy to understand. for my money, the best way to do that is exactly the way they approached it, which is with analyzing each category of obstructive behavior within the elements...

>> how do you feel about robert mueller personally today? >> personally, i feel very good about robert mueller. a couple of things that are interesting to me about mueller is i think he was very careful to not do what jim comey did. >> yes. >> and on that score. >> on that score, and by that i mean he was careful to stay in his lane and not to overstep, you know, sometimes i wish we had bob mueller as the fbi director during 2016 and if donald trump had still won. >> and comey as the special pro...

So, what happened first. >> he told the story backwards today. >> russian interference happened first. so what were you interfering? you were interfering with russian interference -- or obstructing. so, yeah, logically you tell it in the order in which it happened. and i think that can be a little bit confusing and a little bit unsettling if youre new to this thing. >> andy, if youre making a case and youre trying to tell a story, thats what i keep not -- because we were told by many house democ...
