i think speaker pelosi probably had a sense of what may have been coming in the report, not she had inside knowledge, but just by tracking how this mueller investigation has come about, you know, she said a couple weeks, we should not do impeachment. it s going to be a waste of time. and it would drag the country into another nightmare where kind of stopped the business of the country stops, as we try to impeach a sitting president. for something we don t have, you know, actual evidence of, you know, that leads to impeachment from mueller. and so, i think democrats want to move ahead with their other investigations. and they hope that they have a good candidate in 2020 to dismount trump. but they know a failed impeachment effort. it would be much harder to get senate republicans now to impeach him, if there s nothing, you know, conclusive from the mueller report. that would make it much harder for them to win in 2020. at the end of the day, when
clear. i think one thing to look out for is, as you mentioned, roger stone is headed to trial. he pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. there s always the possibility for someone who is facing a trial of this nature that he could, at some point, decide to cooperate with federal prosecutors and disclose more information than he has, about any other of the other trump associates or interactions with the president himself. so, i think that s one thing to keep in mind as we head towards trial. erica ordon, appreciate you being here. thank you. thank you. u.s.-backed forces say the last isis stronghold has fallen. marking the last stronghold on the land there in syria. we ll have a full report, next.

wisdom tonight seems to be that this report will in someway not prove the worst suspicions about trump and russia, right? and you know, i ve been thinking about this. if it is true that the president of the united states did not is cleared of the most horrifying crime one could imagine, an act of treason. if it s true mueller comes to the conclusion that president trump did not actively participate in an enemy s attempt to influence our election in 2016, the worst possible outcome that some of us feared and that he only passably benefitted from that interference i think everyone should breathe a sigh of relief, right?
for two years, it s been through this. there s no obstruction. good morning to you, i m victor blackwell. and i m christi paul coming to you from d.c. this morning. the report is done. and now attorney general william barr is he could have conclusions. what that means charges against 37 people, seven guilty pleas and one trial conviction there will be no more indictments. no sit-down interviews with the president. president trump is huddled with his team down in mar-a-lago. some of them already claiming victory. democrats say before that happens, the report needs to be released to the public. a source tells cnn house democrats do have a conference call scheduled for 2:00 this afternoon. we ve got a team to break
