Life pr campaign, strategy, on obstruction of justice. Thats not the case. And i disagree with my good the sound and fury coming friend suzanne on this. From President Trump as he this is not just a political consumes Robert Mueller matter. This is a legal matter. Coverage. Will you testify before there is much evidence in the congress, sir . Chasing Robert Mueller. Report that the president broke the law by obstructing justice. How did he respond to some very pointed questions. To just give you one small we have those details ahead. It may be we undertake an example of many, and there are more than 11 sections, incidents impeachment nonetheless. Of obstruction of justice, trump the iword leading democrats and his attorneys have been saying repeatedly that when he with measured responses as we try to answer, is it worse than asked jim comey, the head of the fbi, to lay off michael flynn, watergate. But new this hour, new reaction on the renewed debate his National Security adviser, that he did not know at that on whether democrats should try time that flynn had broken the to impeach the president given the evidence of possible law by lying to the fbi. Obstruction laid out by the but we found out from the report special council. That don mcgahn informed the the chairman telling nbc news he, quote, may or may not start president immediately before that flynn was a lawbreaker, had broken the law, and then trump the impeachment process. It is our job to go through all the evidence. Went ahead and told comey not to how much does the politics impact this . I dont know. That will come down the road. Investigate him anymore. Do you think this is that is prima fascia obstruction impeachable . Yeah, i do. I do think that this if of justice, full stop. But it is not a legal matter meaning there is no indictment. Proven, if proven, which hasnt i said it is a political end been proven yet, some of this, because that means there is if proven some of this would be impeachment thats a impeachable, yes. Possibility. No, were not disagrees on all right. Obstruction of justice, if the fact that it is now moving proven, would be impeachable. Into the political realm. And the chairman of the but i want view iers to understd oversight admits this could be a political victory for the the president broke the law. President since the senate would he would have been indicted. I couldnt agree with that more. Likely not support impeachment. There comes a point in life how does he get held where we all have to make accountable . Is impeachment the best way to decisions based upon the fact do it . That it is our watch. There is also lots of talk about and, you know, history, i think, even if we did not win possibly, censu censure. This is something im recently struggling with, alex. I supported Merrick Garland at if there were not impeachment, i least having a hearing when think history would smile upon Anthony Scalia passed away in us for standing up for the constitution. February of 2016. Meanwhile, the chairman of the republicans pushed back the Intelligence Committee says saying there was an election. I also supported the republicans impeachment is worth considering even if it ultimately fails in should join the democrats not the senate. It may be that we undertake too many months ago on the an impeachment nonetheless. Resolution against the president what we will have to decide as a on declaring a National Caucus is what is the best thing emergency because it was their job to do as theyre supposed to for the country. It is the best thing for the country to take up an to protect the constitution. Here it is clear that there are impeachment proceeding because impeachable offenses, and i to do otherwise sends a message understand that it may not be put in the political interest of that this conduct is in the best the democrats right now because interest of the country. There is an upcoming election. But there used to be a saying the Republican Leadership will Good Government is good not do its duty. And this all comes as politics. In this case it may not be, but democrats are expected to hold a im leaning towards it is their Conference Call tomorrow to responsibility to carry out their duties and start impeachment processes. Last word, jonathan . I think they should move forward impeachment, too. But if it turns out to be not strategize their new moves. Democrats insisting the special politically possible, then a council must testify before may tough resolution will put the 23rd. Congress on record that the meanwhile, the president s president did awful things. Attorney dismising the findings to just do nothing but hold by the special counsel that the hearings would be a travesty of Trump Campaign expected to justice and an abandon of their benefit from information released by russian efforts. Constitutional duty. There is nothing wrong with spirited chat, as always. Thanks, guys. Shes a longshot candidate taking information from russians . It depends on where it came in the 2020 race for the white house, but where does she think from. You are assuming that the giving she has an edge . Of information is a campaign were going to talk to her next. Contribution. Why do salads settle on the same 5 things . You would have accepted information from russians against a candidate if you were running . I probably wouldnt. I wasnt asked. I would have advised just out of excess of caution. People have a right to know that information about hillary clinton. This was a onesided investigation. Rudy giuliani and the president s council were asked if they accept muellers findings that russian actors interfered. I believe it was. I cant tell you for sure. I havent examined all that evidence. Does the president accept theres thousands of ingredients out there. That . I think he does. There were a lot of factors that the freshest stuff this planet can grow. Go into any election. Not buzzword fresh. Its hard to believe this was a but, actually freshfresh. Decisive factor. I think they try to sew fresh. At panera, we handpick berries at peakseason. Use creamy avocado. Cagefree eggs. Disinformation. And a dressing fit for a goddess. They were also unsuccessful. Oh and every ingredient is 100 clean. Donald trump won. We didnt need wikileaks. We had wisconsin. Come taste what a salad should be. Lets head to mike. And for your next event big or small, try panera catering. We saw a glimpse of you, my friend. Panera. Food as it should be. You caught up with Robert Mueller in washington, d. C. Tell me what happened. Reporter well, we understood that Robert Mueller was just state of the Art Technology makes it brilliant. The visionary lexus nx. Lease the 2019 nx 300 for 359 a month for 36 months. Across la faye yet square here. Hes been seen there before over the last several weeks attending experience amazing at your lexus dealer. Services. He was there with mrs. Mueller shaving has been difficult for me. At the 9 00 a. M. Service. We had a camera crew waiting i have very sensitive skin, and i get ingrowing hairs. Outside. It was, of course, easter so its a daunting task. Service. And, yes, we did surprise director mueller upon his exiting of the church. Lets just play the tape. Oh i love it. Its a great razor. Sir, could i ask you a couple it has that fence in the middle. Of questions . Will you testify before it gives a nice smooth shave. Congress, sir . I have no comment. Just stopping that irritation. Are you sure about that, sir . That burn that i get is really life changing. No comment. If you were anybody but the president , would mr. Trump be indi indicted, sir . Now that you have finished sir, why didnt you make a recommendation to congress one way or the other . Did the attorney general accurately characterize you, sir . Reporter i think we can parts of me i didnt even know. Characterize director muellers i find out im 19 native american, attitude as tight lipped and perhaps not interested in specifically from the chihuahua people. Talking to me. It was after all Easter Sunday what . thats. I find that crazy. And he was after all coming out of easter services. It traces their journey but nevertheless, thats the in the mid1800s first time we have heard from from central mexico to texas. Bob mueller in quite some time, learning about the risks they took for a better life. Even if his only comment was no. It gives me so much respect and gratitude. Comment. Well, listen, its no it just shed so much light in my past that surprise he wouldnt comment further, but i have to applaud i never even wouldve known was there. You on asking all the right 20 million members have connected to a deeper family story. Questions. That was for sure. Certainly loved the answer to order your kit at ancestry. Com. Those and we will get them from Robert Mueller himself but probably somewhere on capitol hill most likely. Itso chantix can help you quit slow turkey. Joining me now, my panel. Along with support, chantix is proven to help you quit. With chantix you can keep smoking at first you got to hand it, you guys, to mike. And ease into quitting. I mean, he went after it, right . Chantix reduces the urge so when the day arrives, beyond the questions that he asked, what are some of the things that you are hearing youll be more ready to kiss cigarettes goodbye. Congress would like to ask . Well, i think Congress Wants when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, to delve into a number of matters including, as mike i you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Think eluded to there, the key stop chantix and get help right away if you have changes in behavior or thinking, question being what was the role of this Justice Department aggression, hostility, policy on not indicting the depressed mood, suicidal thoughts or actions, seizures, president in muellers decision not to make a finding or new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking, conclusion on any of these ten or eleven examples of or lifethreatening allergic and skin reactions. Obstruction . But i think they would also like decrease alcohol use. To go item by item with mueller use caution driving or operating machinery. Through these examples. Tell your doctor if youve had Mental Health problems. And the more i think about it, the more i think it will be an the most common side effect is nausea. Exceedingly unpleasant exercise quit smoking slow turkey. For the white house. Not only to have mueller testify but even attorney general barr talk to your doctor about chantix. Who as you mentioned at the top of the show has already agreed to testify twice at the beginning of may to have him led through these alleged instances this is, by any account a of obstruction by the president dividing moment for the trump and try to explain why in that specific case it didnt meet the presidency. Moment for the trum presidency legal bar. I dont see how thats going to be something thats positive for the white house. I think that realization is beginning to dawn on people there. How about you in terms of the looking ahead this weekend. Spectacle of all this . Do you think mueller will former Vice President joe biden is reportedly set to announce ultimately testify publically his third run for president. For congress . I think that he probably will. And i think it will be an the latest addition to a crowded enormously big deal. We have had several of these 2020 field. Maryann williamson is joining me spectacles, if you want to call now. Them that, over the last two a president ial candidate and spiritual author. Years, but they have been thank you for joining me on this important moments, comey big weekend. I want to get to a number of testifying. I think Robert Mueller really topics. Your new book a politics of serious questions for him that love a handbook for a new Congress Needs to ask. American revolution. What is your message for this i think there are serious questions chairman adler raised hollid Holiday Weekend . It represents principles of already in some instances not to consciousness. Basically in the presence of the prosecute don jr. , especially and the people involved in the higher power, anything is trump tower meeting in 2016. He made some judgments about basically accepting information possible. This country needs that now. Theres so much chaos and from a Foreign Government and, you know, those are questions tension and anxiety. That we need to ask because now this is incredible moment to we have Rudy Giuliani on tv saying its okay to get consider the possibility. Information from the russians. So this report is going to have you know, we had abolition in consequences that ripple out in this country. It would not have seemed possible. All directions here. We had women getting the right and i think that there is a lot to vote at a time it wouldnt of questions. Have seemed possible. And it will be a big deal. I agree with josh. We had desegregation and i mean, the white house is not going to enjoy that day. Yeah. What do you make of this, josh . Dismantling of White Supremacy at a time when it didnt seem because you have democrats possible. Saying that the picture that the its a great moment for all Mueller Report painted of the americans to realize well get president is the worst, some out of this. Even arguing that its worse than watergate. If youre not elected, you may you have on the other hand those that are saying, yeah, total consider writing. Youll get book deals. Exoneration. No collusion. No obstruction. Honestly, youll get tremendous has there ever been a document name recognition. That has had such a polarizing reaction in your memory . I mean, the only thing i can think back to would be ken starrs report during the youre in this to win it but you clinton era. That let in motion a similar process where House Republicans have to admit the odds are stacked against you. How do you conserhe big became sort of gungho about picture for yourself . In terms of a professional impeachment. Strategy. This is more risk than anything thats what giving democrats a moment of concern here about else. Its more of a risk if youre looking at things in that way. Pushing forward too aggressively here. In terms of chances, donald republicans had a tone of moral trump is president. The idea that anybody can say righteousness that we see in what, you know, they can predict people like Lindsey Graham or who can win or who will win. Mitch mcconnell. I think should be in the hands and that kind of backfired on of the American People. Them eventually with the public. Those who appoint themselves as kind of gate keepers. I can understand a degree of hesitancy on the part of whether in media or dnc or democrats even when they get all this evidence from robert anything else who tell the rest of us what is a long shot and muellers report in saying lets what is possible and predictable. I dont think thats the way it immediately charge into impeachment proceedings. But, is there a legitimate should work. You have the opportunity to way to interpret this report in platform to get your message out such, you know, polarizing there. You have criticism . I dont have a criticism levels . I mean, is it legitimate . About the 65,000. Can you really take the words of you know, theres been, also, Robert Mueller, those written talk that if once you get to the words from the report, and 65,000 which im certainly interpret them realistically in hoping it do and on track to do, these two distinctly different that once if there are over ways. No, i dont think so. 20 candidates theyre saying you know, i think that there are somebody will have to have 1 in three major polls. Certainly, you know, people if youre not mentioned in bring their biases and their opinions to this. Polls, and if you dont get the you can have opinions of law. Same coverage as everyone else, you can have opinions of whats how are you supposed to make tolerable. Of whats acceptable. But i think that there is an to be to get that over 1 . Enormous amount of spin going thats unfair. On, particularly from the white thats a bias. House and from the attorney general about what this report well cross that path when we come to it. Says. When you talk about, you know, the issue for me, there are two saying things like this report says no collusion, no different political universes. Obstruction, thats just not the dog and pony show and what thats just not what it says. It is also dishonest on some is happening on the ground with levels because it in some ways voters in New Hampshire, iowa, misrepresents what the report actually set out to do. And thats the beauty of you have in the report very politics. Serious people and americans are clearly laid out the, you know, serious. Americans know we have some the ways in which the serious issues in this country. And when im out there and im investigation went forward and the questions they were seeking talking to people or talking to answer and whether or not about the things that matter, they were actually looking for were not talking the horse crimes that the president committed or not. And, so, i think that its a race. Were talking about the fate of real struggle, basically, in our country. Thats where i know it really is this time that were in because happening and its happening for there is so many ways of getting me and im excited about that. I told you as you were information out, whether it is social media or fox news or, you getting miked up and sitting down, i had a conversation with a friend last night. Know, even further right more i describe him as being a cool guy. He thinks youre extraordinary. He loves the message you put out there. How differently do you see con spspirac conspiracy. Yourself from other candidates whether or not a consensus about in this race . Thank him from me. What this report says is able to i see myself as different than remerge or whether or not you the establishment candidates. Can have a report that the most of the establishment significant population never can
