But because we can't charge a sitting president, we are not even going to decide, we are not going to perform the calculus, the analysis to decide if those acts amount to a crime. so, the report itself doesn't accuse the president of committing a crime. that's thing one. and thing two, remember, attorney general barr and the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein both looked at what mueller came up with and said this doesn't constitute a crime, there should be no crime of obstruction. so, in theory, donald trump, some other, if there's a democratic president-elected, could ask his attorney gen...

That the best thing that the democrats could be doing and that their presidential candidate should be doing is making the arguments that will really help win the election in 2020. >> but could the argument be made that democrats would look weak if they don't actually pursue impeachment or an impeachment inquiry here? because so many have made the case that these ten instances of obstruction of justice that were laid out in that 400-plus page of the mueller report that those would require at least an inquiry into impeachment of the president? >> well, at this point you do not even have a majori...
