Another cfr regulation that says if there's a fundamental disagreement of veto by the department of justice over the special counsel, that has to be reported. so he's already taken care of that part which really would have been a secondary or an independent report. what's left is figuring out the big question that we're all wrestling with, which is how much actually goes over the wall to congress, how much of it is redacted. and i think there's going to be several areas of both policy and law that kick in as to what can or can't be seen by congressmen or the public alike. paul: does he have to...

Justice, and firing james comey, that was a question that mueller was investigating, did trump obstruct justice. what are you looking for on that front? >> well, i think this is going to be an torrent important part as well, because people have focused on the collusion side, right? if there are no indictments, bitch that it was unlikely that the president committed some grand conspiracy on his own, it suggests that mueller didn't find any collusion there. now, the obstruction thing is harder because it's aimed directly at the president, and as the president's critics point out, it is not justi...

Charles grassley, last june in which rosenstein said that prosecutors do not like to talk about misconduct among people who are not being charged. so if it is that there are no more indictments, that would indicate the president's not being charged with anything and so, therefore, the report might not say anything about any misconduct on the president's part. there's also been this theory that maybe there's a sealed indictment somewhere that's waiting to get opened when the president gets out of office. i'm told it's likely that didn't happen because mueller would have had to get permission fr...

Paul: fun, fun, fun. you heard adam schiff say he might subpoena robert mueller, is that something he would have to pay attention to, mueller? >> i think he would. it's unlikely there's enough support for the motion of completely ignoring the subpoena, but it's going to be interesting. in the context of not an impeachment proceedings, but oversight in a congressional hearing, there's a little more leeway for the executive branch to push back and say, no, we've done our writing. take a look at that and leave us alone. but i suspect the politics of the day will be these folks end up appearing in...
