Report actually does i would perhaps want to address the question of whether, you know, he didnt come to a finding on obstruction, because he meant to leave that up to congress. I mean, that said, he is doing this at the Justice Department. I think if he does decide to draw those sort of, you know, lines of difference from barr, hes going to do it gently. Unless this is a very different Robert Mueller then everyone at the Justice Department is used to, then Michael Zeldin is used to, were not going to see him coming out and flame throwing. That said, it wouldnt be surprise me if he does take time to thank his team for their hard work and for their professionalism, because they have said nothing in the face of being under attack for two years. If youre just joining us, were expecting Special Counsel Robert Mueller here he is. Lets listen in. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for being here. Two years ago, the Acting Attorney General asked me to serve as Special Counsel and he create
The unique circumstances of this matter ive determined a sperm council necessary in order for the American People to have full confidence in the outcome. Our nation is grounded on the rule of law and the public must be assured that officials administer the law fairly. Secretary fueler will have the resources to be able to conduct an investigation. He adds that mueller resigned from his position at his law firm so now this is his fulltime job overseeing the russian job. We have previously reported, wolf, that Rod Rosenstein didnt feel the need to appoint a special council shortly after firing james comey last tuesday. After that there were revelations that President Trump asked james comey over dinner at the white house if he was under investigation. We found out the latest news about the memo, james comeys memos where he documented the president asking him to end the flynn probe. That appears to be a Tipping Point now the news coming out of the department of justice that council taking
Our kids, it is stoking rae ini emotions on all sides of the gun debate. Many have made the case for more common sense controls on gun sales. President trump started off the week talking about strengthening background checks for guns and banning bump stocks, which are devices that go onto a semiautomatic rifle. Then he changed his tune and called on all, quote, adept teachers to carry concealed weapons into classrooms or at least those who are adept. In other words, more guns, not fewer, which is right out of the National Rifle associations playbook. Just listen to the nras chief, wayne la pierre. They want to sweep right under the carpet the failure of school security, the failure of family, the failure of americas Mental Health system. And even the unbelievable failure of the fbi to stop a bad guy with a gun. It takes a good guy with a gun. [ cheers and applause ] except the good guy with the gun didnt go in the building. Every year wayne la pierres organization spends tens of millio
In the year of the woman, joe crowley was obviously a man. Joe crowley was an old man in a party that is becoming younger and younger. 18 to 29yearold are becoming larger share.

Do you agree with that analysis or do you agree that this is a huge wakeup call for the party and the leadership . District specific factors played a hand at here. Look at the maryland race, ben jealous won there. So it did seem to me that progressive challengers did have a good night last night. She ran on a platform of universal health care, a federal job guarantee, abolishing i. C. E. , immigrations and customs enforcement. A lot of what she said sounds a lot like what Bernie Sanders said, she also for example, ran on small donations largely from people in her districts just like Bernie Sanders. When youre looking at the party as a whole and you look at people
Presidency and who might have done so with the aid of the government of russia, our most formidable adversary on the world stage. That was something that troubled me greatly. How long was it after that that you decided to start the obstruction of justice and Counter Intelligence investigations regarding the president . The next day i met with the Team Investigating the russia cases. I asked the team to go back and conduct an assessment to determine where are we with the efforts and what steps do we need to take Going Forward . A lot of jawdropping headlines there. They dont stop there. Mccabe claimed there were meetings within the Justice Department about removing the president by invoking the 25th amendment. There is clearly a lot to get to this morning. Lets go to laura jared from the Justice Department who joins us. Wow, where do we begin . Wow, indeed. A remarkably candid interview from the former acting director of the fbi, the man who opened the investigation, the early investiga
