Im chris hayes. So we have considerably more information today than we had friday about what exactly the Mueller Report concludes, though crucially it is far less than we need.

It was an election defined by disclosures and secrets and information

He said he thought putin paid trump. Now Kevin Mccarthy is a public worshipper of donald trump and he would attack anyone who said anything like that.
