indictments that there were multiple systematic efforts to interfere in our election. and that allegation deserves the attention of every american. the russians really did attack our election. they did so with the explicit purpose of damaging one candidate hillary clinton and benefitting donald trump. that warning was the whole first volume of robert mueller s report. but we just heard it yesterday out loud for the first time from robert mueller as he started and ended his first public remarks on his investigation with a description of the seriousness of what russia did. russia s intervention in our presidential election to help install their chosen candidate in the white house. the section of the mueller report that is titled russian government links to and contacts with the trump campaign is a section of the report that s over 100 pages long. it lists 140-plus contacts
he also ordered that tomorrow the justice department has to release all the stuff that is currently blacked out in the mueller report that has anything to do with mike flynn. all of that stuff has to be unredacted and released to the public tomorrow. despite the attorney general saying no, no, no, he won t release any of the redacted parts of the mueller report, no way, no how, by tomorrow some of those redactions are going to be removed and we the public will get access to that report by order of a federal judge. and while we re at it, also tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. robert mueller s grand jury is finally going to get testimony from a recalcitrant witness who has been fighting tooth and nail for, like, a year to try please to not testify. to not have to turn up and talk to the grand jury despite a subpoena from mueller s prosecutors ordering him to do just that. andrew miller is a young man who worked with roger stone. he s been fighting for almost a year now to not respond to a grand ju
business owners. they had one question on their minds. why is president trump still in office? mr. evans, a democrat who began calling for mr. trump to be impeached long before mr. mueller issued his report was not surprised. the issue i hear is we sent you to get rid of the president. why haven t you gotten rid of him yet? in cities around the country, black democrats like evans and other house members who represent majority black districts are hearing much the same from their african-american constituents. paulette beale-harris who owns a florist shop in philadelphia said it s time for congress to do something, to stop being afraid, to do what has to be done for the country. you know, it is worth remembering that there was already a vote in the house on impeaching the president. it was a vote in december 2017 that was forced to the floor by a member of the congressional black caucus, by democratic congressman al green of texas. 2017. on the house floor at the time
president committed a crime why can t mueller tell congress, tell us what he thinks about potential criminal behavior by the president if the head of the justice department now says that s what justice department policy requires? so, yes, i think mueller will end up testifying before congress. i m sure he will want to stay within the four corners of the report. among other things his boss from the justice department is making that difficult. in the meantime what mueller delivered yesterday and clearly hoped would be his final word on the matter was a fairly simple and direct message. we were investigating an incredibly serious attack on our country, obstruction of the investigation is a gravely serious matter. we gathered all this evidence of obstruction but we can t charge the president. we can t say whether or not what he did constitutes a crime. we d tell you if we were sure it didn t. now a process outside the criminal justice system must be employed in order to make that
principal in this case the president of the united states somebody who would be subject to influence from a foreign power or is it someone who actually maven hay have som relationship with a foreign power. when you were acting director after the firing of james comey, as far as i understand it you were the one who signed off on the counter-intelligence investigation into the president specifically. given the simplicity of that question as you just laid it out, could the president be compromised by a foreign power? could he be acting on behalf of a foreign entity rather than on behalf of the united states of america? do you have a sense of what happened to that investigation? we all either somewhere between assumed and believed that had been folded in to the work of mr. mueller and the special counsel s office and that therefore we would see some sort of attestation as to the resolution of the question. we have this detailing of the contacts but no statement at all as to what the
