start by going start doing by going into court tomorrow. but the court, you go to court tomorrow. that could take a long period of time. well, we hope, and i think there is a good chance that the courts will expedite the proceedings. we will certainly ask for expedition. and i think it s a good chance we ll get it. so you don t buy into the argument that some were making yesterday and today that mueller, by the way he presented it, did more harm than good? in terms of democrats certainly not. prior to yesterday, the dominant news for the american people, were the lies of the administration, that the mueller commission had found no obstruction, no collusion, and it totally exonerated the president. yesterday we heard from mueller who said those were lies. he said he did not the committee most certainly did not exonerate the president. they found considerable evidence
intend to do the same thing in 2020, so for the president to joke and to make light of it and to say, oh, he denies it and we ve talked about it is just the latest outrage from this president who is supposed to be contending with a lot of russian outrages, let s just remember vladimir putin was barred from this meeting in 2014 because of his country s and invasion of the ukraine, so the fact that not only he s in the room today but the president, our president feels that it s all right or appropriate to joke about the mueller commission findings and to denigrate reporters as fake news and to commiserate with vladimir putin over the problems that we, reporters, pose in fake news is really, really unacceptable. eric: how about those who would say, he has to get along with putin, president obama didn t
tough week with leslie. so is he believable now and is it too little too late? well, this is a tremendously difficult interview. it is funny just watching it again. one soft of gasps because of course that we ve been working the united states and the mueller commission, the investigation, the fbi have been working so hard to safe guard that practice that there can t be any interference this u.s. elections. and it is a across europe. so not surprising that he is trying to reverse that position. and this question of whether it is believable, of course it depends on who to who. i think a lot of people have
mueller commission, ultimately, has not been a success. it didn t uncover any of the crimes that were part of its original mandate by any american citizens. it had three categories of crime process crimes, crimes that involve money that occurred before the election and indictments of russians who will never be brought to trial. so that s significant. but we still can see investigations and prosecutions brought by the southern district of new york and other prosecutors offices. in fact, what we may see in the report is a road map for how further investigations both by u.s. attorneys offices and by congress can be pursued. as a civil libertarian, i m deeply concern canned about congressional investigations. i grew up during the mccarthy period when congress abused its discretion to investigate. they re supposed to investigate in order to help them pass legislation, not to expose people, not to simply attack people, not to make it harder for an administration to function. and i think
celebrating what they are doing in a way to let the report do the messaging for them. the president doesn t have the tweet today. we all know and love the president and he probably will be tweeting at some point about this. but for now i think they should just enjoy their victory left quietly. jon: it is interesting that the tweeter in chief has not sent anything out today. absolute.he just hasn t said anything yet. he is not willing to take a victory lap and i think that some of our colleagues should do the same. they should wait and remain silent until we know more. you know, some of our colleagues on msnbc were despondent and outraged by that is that they were going to be any indictments of the mueller commission. i just find it extraordinary. that a group of reporters are commentators would be
