we seem to be moving toward a place where impeachment may be inevitable, the dam seems to be breaking wide open. the obstruction point is also impossible to look away from because what he has releasing as congress has a job to do. they have the green light if they wanted from the statement, the ball is in their court and now they have to pick it up and run with it and do the right thing. every single day the president sits in that office, he s obstructing justice. if he had spoken in plain language what he would have said today was, anyone who read my report and said no collusion, no obstruction, total exoneration is a big fat liar, that s what he would have said. if he had my potty mouth, or yours. [laughs] sean: this like two of the dumbest people on tv. it s funny. after two years of lies and hoaxes in conspiracy theories, they can t let go.
sanders also trying to have it both ways but everybody else is there and they weren t before today started. bob, i don t mean to be disrespectful but if you re cory booker at whatever he is, 2, 3%, we saw eight democrats calling for impeachment. that s fairly easy to say when you re out on the trail. it s fairly easy to say if you re a presidential candidate. it s a harder case to make if you re a member of congress. what they re trying to do when you talk to house democrats is build the case on obstruction for the american people. and when i m talking to house democrats, they say what s more important, perhaps, than even mr. mueller s testimony, should it happen, is the testimony of someone like don mcgahn, the former white house counsel, because his testimony can get to the question of intent. and that s what they need to prove more than mueller s conclusions here is what was the president s intent, what can house democrats offer the american people through their own investigatio
i think that one of the things that mueller is saying today, while we may want to raise question, while the attorney general may want to raise questions and some republicans may want to question some aspects of why the fbi started investigating the trump campaign, that there is no question that russia has been attacking the united states and doing so in a devastating way in 2016. he really refocuses our attention on the bigger picture, however, this investigation is underway and one of the things that mueller s statement today also brings to light is the gravity of what happened with russia. he talks about it in very patriotic terms. this is something that is a threat to the country. if you re the president, if you re the attorney general and if you re not taking this incredibly seriously and if you re doing something to obstruct the investigation. it speaks directly to your patriotism. and again, this becomes a congressional question, what do we do with our leaders if they are doing s
interviewed, 40 fbi agents, and after all that time he doesn t take one question after what was called a press conference today, press conferences mean the press is there and it actually they get to ask questions. sean: please, don t bring me before congress, i don t want to face that jim jordan guy or mark meadows. and governor mark levine raised all the important questions. did you know there was no conspiracy? why did he hire this abusively biased team and why did he ignore the dirty dossier? the russian dossier? well, he did that because there was an agenda and the agenda was not to find the truth, the agenda was to go after donald trump. and that is why attorney general bar has got to take this to ground for the sake of the country. it s about america and its future. sean: that wall street journal and nbc news poll from two weeks
what we need to hear today. it s very important to be clear on what he told us, on what the sps special prosecutor told the american people. i think bob mueller as reluctant as he clearly has to testify has one more duty to perform for the country and that is to come before the congress and answer the questions the american people about his report. joining us now national security reporter for the daily beast and on set danny cevallos. where does this leave democrats in their push for mueller to testify? jerrold nadler was asked twice whether he ll subpoena mueller. he side stepped the question entirely. that s right. so what we do know that the negotiations between democrats on the hill and mueller s team in regard to him testifying are
