Must continue its investigations. if the house judiciary committee deems it necessary, i will support their decision to open an impeachment inquiry. hes putting it on the house of representatives and still not going that full step yet. but on the campaign trail, senator sanders pretty much ignores the issue. he was in reno, nevada, yesterday and did not bring it up at the rally one time. even that tweet that we just read from was from his official senate account. it wasnt his campaign run accoun...

>> he is just talking about it now. >> he heard john. >> we cant also forget -- you gave a reference to this, but this line in here where the president says no -- mueller didnt find obstruction, either. i mean, thats just flat out false. that is not at all -- the president of the united states is saying mueller didnt find obstruction. that is not what mueller has said. >> barr presented a case where there is a binary choice, you either indict or you dont and move on. that is not where mueller se...

Full and accurate information from every person we questioned. when a subject of an investigation obstructs that investigation or lies to investigators, it strikes at the core of their governments effort to find the truth and hold wrong doers accountable. the departments written opinion explaining the policy makes several important points that further informed our handling of the obstruction investigation. the opinion says that the constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice ...

Will hold the president accountable. >> how is he going to do that? >> its really in some ways up to them to see. i think theres this idea when you listen really closely to what robert mueller was saying, he was saying two things. if you youre a democrat you heard him saying congress, its in your court. the court system in the way that the united states constitution is set up that we cannot accuse the president of wrong doing without going through another body. that being congress. then on the d...

But, mueller suggested, congress could still step in. >> the opinion says that the constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing. >> tucker: a process other than the criminal justice system, end quote. thats how a 74-year-old anglopmile might describe impeachment. it didnt take long for democrats to get that message. those who hadnt been calling for impeachment got on board immediately. kamala harris of california who ...

Continuation of the distraction? >> i do. and i also think the fact that people who perpetuated this false smear of collusion with russia to steal the 2016 election. they understand that if there is investigation into how that narrative was set, how it was weaponized by our federal government, who engaged in criminal wrongdoing such as the criminal leaks of classified information to uncow doo a democratic election. they understand this is a threat this might be also an effort to make sure that t...

Which is oh, im totally cleared. or anything like that. this is really devastating. both as a matter of whether the president committed crimes, but also fitness for office. i dont think americans want to have a standard that not guilty by reason of technicality or something like that because of the title of the office he holds he cant go to jail right now. you know, we expect more of our presidents than that. >> the mueller quote neal is referring to. the "constitution requires a process other t...

I do think those comments about bob mueller about, you know, the other processes obviously impeachment being the only constitutional way to accuse the president of wrong doing. definitely contradict what is the attorney general said when he summarized muellers report. >> that was former republican governor of new jersey and trump transition chairman chris christie saying that special counsel robert mueller definitely contradicts attorney general barrs summary of his conclusions. joining us actin...

Obstruction. what bob mueller did, whether he intended to or not, was to turn american jurisprudence upside down. to take the standard of innocent until proven guilty and reverse it. >> it falls to congress to respond to the crimes, lies and other wrongdoing of president trump. we will do so. make no mistake, no one, not even the president of the united states, is above the law. >> there were no surprises. he repeated what was already in the report. that there was no collusion. and that he was d...

Those points are summarized in our report and ill describe two of them for you. first, the opinion explicitly permits the investigation of a sitting president because it is important to preserve evidence while memories are fresh and documents available. among other things, that evidence could be used if there are co-conspirators that could be charged now and second, the opinion says that the constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting presi...
