went into this investigation aware of the olc opinion. but not maybe completely decided on where they would come out on that on day one. i don t know what process or period of time it took to come to the ultimate conclusion. i certainly take director mueller at his word. and i don t take everybody at their word. mueller wouldn t address anything related to what the fbi currently investigating. and the inspector general. he wouldn t talk about certain aspects. you open the counter intelligence investigation. would should americans take away from the on goik investigations sns. director mueller said a couple interesting things today that surprise me in that regard. the fact he revealed the fact that fbi counter intelligence investigators were imbedded with the special counsel team for the duration of the investigation. for the purpose of coordinating counter intelligence investigation. that means in normal people
what i want to say specifically, for example, the statute of limitations on charging the president after he leaves office for let s say obstruction is five years and should the president win re-election, then that s going to run out. and he would then be immune from being held accountable for niece crimes. you re assuming no more crimes afterward. just using that. i m not actually assuming that, but right. even assuming that, and so there s a problem there. and because mueller wouldn t even say that he believed trump had committed a crime, there s no way to even make these allegations now that we can be sure we can make them unless they re done through the constitutional process of impeachment. that s why i think it s so important for the house to simply begin impeachment proceedings so there s a possibility of saying this obstruction is a high crime or misdemeanor. matt? you know, there s a related issue to the one she brought up. it relates to big barr closing

not this moment was politically successful or whether it was politically a failure. i think and that s why there s a broad spread agreement that it was a political failure. i think jerry nadler looks terrible in this situation because he s the one who put his party on the line and banked on it in such a big way. think back to the moment when bill barr, a week or so ago, said if mueller decides not to go, the doj will back him. they delayed it for a week, and then bill barr says i think it was the door opening, you can take a pass. you don t have to do this. there was knowledge behind the scenes i think on the part of a lot of people. perhaps mr. mueller wouldn t be able to present the material in the way that would really would be a home run for them. and that the material itself was lacking. jesse: it wasn t just the optics. it was the substance of it because he d never been
charge carter page with anything, correct? the special counsel did not. martha: here now, the apprehension carter page, trump campaign advisor. thanks for coming tonight. what did you make of what they were saying about the timeline start of all of this? who invited you to a symposium in cambridge and why is there anything possibly nefarious about that? look, i m keeping an open mind and i think if you listen to a lot of the testimony even the questions from the republicans, they were asking they just want the facts and it was complete stonewalling today. there is so much that s about to come out. it s really an incredible moment in history. today was a real turning point. exactly along the lines martha: what you mean so much that s about to come out, what do you mean? i think the fact that mr. mueller wouldn t answer any other questions and they said there is this ongoing
