colleagues join us in making sure that that report becomes public. if they do not, that will abelection sniper i heard something i ve not heard before. insist it happens before the election. i didn t say that. i said if the report comes out before the election insists it be made public. so the report is completed, what you re saying is it must be the case that upon completion and transmission to congress, that be made public more or less immediately particularly if there s a question about whether it would be public before or after the election. whether he ever the report comes out whether it s before or after the election, it should be made public. what i said if it s before the election, i would hope our republican colleagues would join us on insisting it be made public at that point. jerry nadler, thanks for being with me. mueller investigation is one year old. but the fbi investigation into trump dates back to the summer of 2016 and the heart of that campaign season. really
