the public really has a right to know. and we all can speculate and comment and predict, but what really counts is the findings and evidence and they bear on at that betrayal of public trust. there s the distinct possibility, anderson, that there will be no indictment here because william barr has concluded a sitting president cannot be indicted. so if there s no indictment and no findings in evidence, what we have, in effect, is a cover-up which the american people should not accept. the fact that barr has not been confirmed as attorney general and is consulting with top justice officials, is that standard operating procedure for a nominee? never standard operating procedure for a nominee to talk about a pending investigation. so i m a bit surprised that he is talking about the outlines and plans as the cnn report
should it be acceptable to the american people. in fact, a recent poll, a couple polls show more than 80% of the american people think the mueller report should be released in full by barr. and, in fact, 79% of republicans. so there should be complete, full disclosure, a public right to know, of the entire findings and evidence. not just the conclusions but all of the evidence and findings from the mueller report. and the american people deserve to see it because they paid for it. isn t the counter argument that unless there s an indictment usually you don t hear from authorities detailing every stone that s been overturned. it s either, yes, there s going to be somebody charged or, no, there s not. you re absolutely right. and i was united states attorney, the chief federal prosecutor in connecticut. i never did a report.
evidence to congress of relevant evidence for possible impeachment. the public does have an interest here independent of the criminal justice system. and it really is inconceivable to me that the public and certainly the congress wouldn t be allowed to see what mueller had spent all this time. should it be made public? i think barr said as much as possible should be made public and commented on memos and where people are indicted and that evidence doesn t make its way when a prosecutor declines to prosecute someone. and there s internal evidence, that evidence doesn t become public. i think it s a little far stretched to say because the public paid for this work that it should be made public. there could be other confidential and intelligence information in that report. there would be redactions. certainly i think barr s testimony lended towards transparency on this issue, no
in the public campaign. if it s good for the candidate, it makes its way in the public doma domain. thank you very much. we have more breaking news ahead. the man on track to be the next attorney general, william barr, is having discussion on how to handle final reporting if and how it s released. we ll talk to senator blumenthal about that. the deal president trump fasa fasanoing another government shutdown. before discovering nexium 24hr to treat her frequent heartburn, marie could only imagine enjoying freshly squeezed orange juice. now no fruit is forbidden. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn? in t easy. for all-day, all-night protection. 12 hours? 20 dogs? where s your belly rubs? after a day of chasing dogs you shouldn t have to chase down payments. (vo) send invoices and accept payments
which they can use in social media. that is closing the circle potentially between the trump campaign and russian interests which is collusion. let s talk about bowling down, polling data gets released to reporters all the time. granted not to the russians. no question about that. let s not talk about it as something so intrinsic to a campaign that it never makes it in the public campaign. if it s good for the candidate, it makes its way in the public domain. thank you very much. we have more breaking news ahead. the man on track to be the next attorney general, william barr, is having discussion on how to handle final reporting if and how it s released. we ll talk to senator blumenthal about that. the deal president trump is facing another government shutdown.
