Page 4 - Which Mueller News Today

Not because they want to. house speaker nancy pelosi has been blunt and consistent and insistent in making sure she would frankly rather stick a fork in her eye, but now we know that what congress didnt fully appreciate when they all initially cheered the appointment of robert mueller, when they praised him personally, when they praised the decision of the justice department to appoint a special counsel to look into this matter, what i think congress didnt fully grasp at the time was that the re...

Mueller stressed his teams inability either to clear the president of a crime, since there was so much evidence of his criminality and like wise inability to charge him because they were barred by department of justice policy. ultimately, his appearance before the cameras represented a kind of passing of the constitutional baton from muellers office to congress, which mueller noted pointedly has the ability to formally accuse the president of wrongdoing. >> as set forth notice report after that ...

Helped the other side. >> they used sophisticated cyber techniques to hack into computers and networks used by the clinton campaign. >> this was all about russia, russia, russia. they dont talk about russia anymore because it turned out to be a hoax. it was all a hoax. >> there were multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election. and that allegation deserves the attention of every american. >> then hours after the presidents comments, we finally heard from the attorney general, bill b...

Until after the statement from robert mueller to put out any kind of reaction. so we are going to have to wait to see what the official white house line will be. but certainly, eyes will be glued to the tvs here in the white house, watching what robert mueller has to say about the investigation. and we should also just note that robert mueller is speaking out as president trump and his allies have been stepping up their attacks on the investigators. theyve been railing to declassify some of the ...

>> i think he also said, we could not consider this. >> they couldnt even consider it. >> they couldnt even consider it because of the olc guidelines. >> which also, by the way, might have its roots, him saying that, in the fact that there is this book by michael wolf that claims that he had written up charges, an indictment of the president, which muellers office says is not true in any way, shape, or form. mueller today saying, we never even could consider such a thing, might have had somethin...

Hearings when witnesses come forward and drop bombshells. it sounds like there would be no bombshells if there had been any already. >> bret: that would be a calculation whether they call or subpoena him and hear the report, which mueller seem to be okay with that especially on the rational parts and what russia did. the other thing that was striking was that the prosecutor traditionally is a go or no-go, we do have a case where we dont have a case. but people pointed to this, this is jim comey ...

Back with no recommendation on that obstruction charge? did that surprise you? >> yes, that surprised me. >> why? >> the function of a prosecutor is to make a call one way or the other. >> did you ask him why? >> yeah, we discussed it. >> what did he say? >> i already have said we met on march 5th before he delivered the report and he gave an explanation for it and its pretty much reflected in the report. >> michael, do you think mueller did a disservice by not including a recommendation on obst...

A subpoena to robert mueller. i would bet on the fact that at some point well see robert mueller testifying before the cameras for democrats to get answers to the questions theyre not getting from the white house right now. >> back to the amash statement this wneekend. if theres anything that could change minds in congress right now is it mueller? >> its hard to see many more republicans sort of breaking from this president. they have shown a willingness to stick with him no matter what he does....

Speak for himself. let the report be issued without a press conference leading up to it. >> tolou, are we ever going to hear from mueller himself? >> if you ask the democrats, they are moving full steam ahead with trying to get mueller to agree to testify, trying to work it out between the department of justice and mueller who at some point will become a private citizen. hes wanted to let his work speak for him. we havent heard him speak publicly. over the course of the next few weeks if not mon...

Fundamental interests of privacy of people who are not able to be charged shouldnt be named as criminals. so i think that mueller did the right thing, and the president is the beneficiary of it. >> what do you make of the way barr has portrayed the mueller report? >> i think it was misleading. i think that he in his effort to offer the bottom line conclusions, which is what barr called them, zould bewould have much better off allowing mueller to offer those conclusions in the form of the summari...
