Conspiracy. reporter: now, bob mueller said today that he was going to resign and go back to private life. we are now learning that it will be his last day today as special counsel. his spokesman, peter carr, is confirming that. and jake, also, as he was giving this comments today, he was sure to go out of his way to thank the members of his team for their integrity and fairness. i have to imagine he felt that was important to do in light of all of these attacks that the president lobbed against him over the past two years. let s chew over all of this, but sarah, let me ask you, what s the bottom line? what s the most important thing that mueller said today? i think the most important thing is, you know, if we could have cleared the president of committing a crime, we would have done that. he was very clear that he felt it was sort of out of his ability to make that decision, to be able to fully exonerate the president because of the evidence that he had available. and he felt it ....
