He told congress that, you know, make it public, if they want, the report. i assume you would like to hold him to that? >> we certainly would. we want the report, which mueller has to give to the attorney general and the attorney general can edit it before it goes to the chairman of the house and senate judiciary committees and to the public, we want the report to be entirely public. we want the underlying evidence to be public. because its very important that people have confidence either in th...

Conflict for the department to investigate, because the president, who appoints the highest officers of the department of justice is himself a subject or a target of the investigation, which was focused on suspicions or allegations that the russians, while we know the russians interfered in the 2016 election, with the intention of helping trump win, and the questions are whether trump or people around trump con spid spired with the russians to do that and did they violate the law in so doing? th...

By which mueller will be viewed here depending on the sentence. jonathan turlly wrote an yop ed overnight thats interesting suggesting that maybe the mueller team got played by manafort and well know more after the sentence will. he writes a less than five-year science would be a sentence that no prosecutor relishes. he would look cuckolded and comical. he would limit manaforts exposure. what do you think of that? >> its certainly a possibility. one of the issues with paul manaforts plea agreeme...

Muellers obstruction theory that was just a legal argument. it doesnt create any basis for recusal. in the meantime the guy who was running the investigation, rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, had a profound conflict in that he is an actor in the facts of the comey firing, which mueller is actually investigating as part of the obstruction. if he doesnt have a conflict, i dont know who has a conflict. >> bill: did you see the "washington post" james comey wrote an op-ed and here is the...
