chairs the house intelligence committee has a plan if attorney general william barr decides to keep the report under wraps. well, we will obviously subpoena the report. we will bring bob mueller in to testify before congress. we will take it to court f. necessary. and in the end i think the department understands they re going to have to make this public. i think barr will ultimately understand that as well. joining me now, the new york times politics editor and cnn political analyst patrick healy and former cia counterterrorism official and cia counterterrorism analyst phil mud. patrick, let s start with you. how does this fight play out on capitol hill if schiff does take this dramatic move of subpoenaing robert mueller? the honus will be on the justice department to discuss and new attorney general william barr to decide how much information they re going to be putting out. are they going to be transparent after almost two years of an investigation, millions of dollars spent
cohen s testimony? no. lawyer/client but he s taking his own chances. the new york times reporting cohen has given prosecutors new information about the president s family business. could this even be a bigger risk to the president than whatever comes out of the mueller report? i think it could be. the president has tweet sed so much about michael cohen, you have to ask if you haven t been concerned about what he s saying, why do you tweet so much about him? but look at the contrast between the cases, that is the mueller case and cohen involvement with trump family money for years. mueller s been looking at a couple years activity, especially leading up to the investigation pardon me, the election, about a fairly narrow set of questions, did people cooperate are russians and what did russian organizations do? cohen s talking about years of family money that go back maybe a decade or more.

if i were the president i would say narrow investigation, broad investigation, russia, family. i would be a lot more worried about cohen than i would be about mueller if i were the president. congressman schiff was also asked about cohen s testimony. let s take a listen to what he had to say about that. michael cohen s going to appear before your committee behind closed doors on thursday. what do you hope to learn from him that you don t already know? a great deal starting with why the false statements before our committee when he first appeared, and did they go beyond what he told us about moscow trump tower into other areas as well? who have been aware of the false testimony that he was giving? what other lied can he shed now that he s cooperating on issues of obstruction of justice or collusion? what more can he tell us about the trump tower new york meeting or any other issues relevant to our investigation. we think he has a lot to offer. so, patrick, the anticipation of th
the, cross-examine with ellie and joins us to give us his take on the week with big issues like this. it must be our viewers can see the future because they had this exact question for you about this potential development and congressman schiff will talk about it tomorrow, but the question is can schiff and congress compel mueller to testify in front of them to say what he knows about the mueller report? our viewers were on this all week and adam schiff proves them right. good work by the viewers. the answer is yes, he would have to testify. but people need to understand, it would not be an open book. it would not be tell us everything about the investigation. he could not talk about national security information, classified information, grand jury information, meaning information he got through subpoena typically is supposed to be secret. but there are ways to go to a judge and ask for permission to
