more on this, fox news politics editor chris stirewalt. chris, where are we just in terms of moving forward at this point? is this a signal, says the president is not legally a criminal target, that things are coming closer to an end, or we don t know? it depends on what the president wants to do or what the president decides to do. this is in every way mueller has hinted in all possibly to my possible public ways, will steal keeping propriety of his office, he wants to wrap it up. he wants to finish his work and move on. he can t do it until he talks to trump. trump s legal team, which has gone through a lot of changes over the past weeks and months, seems to be at odds. or maybe the president is at odds. we don t know. mueller can t finish until he talks to trump. harris: here are some facts you do know and it s funny you bring up the legal team, we know from john dowd s own words that perhaps they were in different
