Review the principle conclusions before those go to congress. my colleague pamela brown has of course reported that they do expect to receive some awareness of the substance before that goes to the hill. as for those principle clonclusions in a letter to lawmakers this evening, the attorney general bill barr says he expects to be able to provide those principle conclusions as soon as this weekend. and i am told those principle conclusions which you could essentially think of as a summary or distillation of the core findings of the mueller report. but that's barr's distillation that that will b...

His personal culpability here. it may not rise to the level of criminal, which is really the ultimate thing we do in america -- >> it would be incredibly significant, right, if there was a conclusion that the russians had compromised or perceived as compromised for donald trump. >> absolutely. and i think based on the indictments because mueller has told us a lot through the indictments and information filed, i sort of predict through this report he tells the story of the government of russia, vladimir putin and his associates pushing an effort to elect donald trump as president. and then the ...
