That. i'm actually a little surprised that mueller backed off of that. he really let the president get away with ever having to answer any question in writing or in person under oath or not under oath about obstruction of justice. >> and michael, you've worked for mueller. you know him. why do you think he backed off? >> well, because in order to meet the standard for subpoena in a case like this, you're going to have to establish the need for that information and know alternative means of getting it. and i don't think without an underlying crime he could have met that standard. and so i think...

>> but he did break his silence on twitter a short time ago. tweeting for the very first time since mueller delivered his report to the department of justice. good morning, have a great day. >> and what a day it's going to be. good morning, indeed. it could be a big news day and we have a full team keeping track of it all. some are shaking their heads. julie ainsley, justice reporter with us. good to talk to you this morning. talk us through what to expect today and when we can feasibly hearing from bill barr. >> well, all expectations are on this afternoon for when the attorney general, willi...
