Out the primary findings. He says he thinks this is a bad day for those hoping the Mueller Investigation would take President Trump down. He congratulates mueller, saying he did a great job, and he says now its time to move on, govern the country, and get ready to comb combat russia and other foreign actors ahead of 2020. So hes complimenting the president , someone whos just spent several hours with him on the golf course. We want to welcome our viewers here in the United States and around the world. Very important, dramatic developments unfolding right now in the russia investigation. Im wolf blitzer in washington. The Special Counsel, Robert Mueller, has submitted his report to the Justice Department, to the new Attorney General bill barr. Bill barr has just submitted a fourpage, singlespaced letter to congress with a lot of details. His conclusions on what Robert Mueller and his Special Counsel team came up with. Bottom line, he concludes there was no collusion. The president keeps
ultimately? was joe biden s campaign hurt? was the money ultimately released? leshchenko reopened the case into the hunter biden situation. did anything untoward occur as a result of that? has any damage been sustained? preet, let me bounce it over to you. preet? it has never been the standard ever, and i love it when lawyers come on and say this because it s the best argument they can make, and maybe they think they can pull the wool over people s heads. the fact that you try to do something and other good people don t do the bad thing you told them to do doesn t exonerate you from trying to do the bad thing. the mueller report is replete with examples of this. in some ways the president of the united states was saved by the people around him, including corey lewandowski, who was a
the wool over people s heads. the fact that you try to do something and other good people don t do the bad thing you told them to do doesn t exonerate you from trying to do the bad thing. the mueller report is replete with examples of this. in some ways the president of the united states was saved by the people around him, including corey lewandowski, who was a liar on television. the point is if the president of the united states called up every sitting united states attorney in the country, right, and said i never hear neb answer the question when they re supportive of the president. is it an abuse of power or potentially a crime for the sitting president to call up the united states attorney and say, i hear there s a lot of corruption in vermont. there s a lot of corruption on. and bernie sanders people say, bernie sanders and his kids are full of corruption. you should look at that. now change the example and say he s done that to every u.s. attorney in the country, and all of th
witchhunt is over following robert mueller s 6 hours of testimony. but is it over? what is next? excellent question, donald trump waste no time declaring total victory and while mueller denied his report gave the president, quote, total exoneration, the president said it wasn t mueller s place to do so. there is no such thing. he didn t have the right to exonerate. that was something where he totally folded because he never had the right to exonerate and it was covered very well by congressman turner. not surprisingly democrats see mueller s day before congress a little differently. it was a very strong manifestation, some would even say indictment of this
notion the special counsel is supposed to declare someone innocent and say i couldn t find you innocent so i will dump this information suggest you might be guilty without alleging it. it is parallel to what got jim comey in trouble at the beginning of this fiasco that he wasn t going to prosecute hillary clinton but let me tell you the bad things she did so you have a bad opinion of her even though he exonerated her. in most areas of the law, it is not up to the prosecutor to exonerate everybody. we are all innocent until proven guilty, to say that this doesn t exonerate the president, he didn t exonerate anyone else, he didn t exonerate me or you. a strong point republicans made. it got a little more play with a few more eyeballs on it but i agree it is a flaw in the special counsel.
