Do you think the american people will ever see his answers? >> i do think so. look, they're part of the record. they're no different than any other evidence. so it's essentially like a transcript of an interview, only the lawyers and the president got to fill out their end of it. but i think that's going to be fascinating, to take those answers on collusion, conspiracy, whatever we're calling it, and compare them to sort of what's known and what's out there in the public record. and to see if they all stand up. >> does anything -- go ahead. >> the only thing i was going to say in response, the...

Now, this is the attorney general saying that this is now our decision. the question we have to ask, was that a decision that mueller wanted to leave to the department of justice or was it something he was intending on congress to make the decision? and that's something there may be two audiences there. but again, until we get the full report, until we actually see what it is that he said, what his thought process was, we won't know exactly what the formulation was, and you know, what was intended there. again, the question coming down to, did he decide that he was not going to make this deter...
