Unborn, we have got to guard this moment. This is our watch. And again, i am so, so very proud of the judiciary committee. Im so very, very proud of the Intelligence Committee because they went in and tried to pull out the facts so that they could paint the picture so that america could see it. Hopefully they will not be ladies like the lady at amashs town hall meeting who says they didnt know that there was something wrong that trump did with regard in this Mueller Report. The speaker was absolutely right. She told us a little earlier that she wants to gather all the information and make sure that we have everything we need to paint that picture. Now, what the American People do with it, thats another thing. But we will not stand by and fail to give them let them
see the total picture. I, too, thank mr. Mueller for coming forward for this service to our country. Last but not least, it is so interesting that when mueller would make a decision that they liked, they said, oh, we love you
[question inaudible] their party is in shambles right now. They have the squad leading their party. Take a look at so many of the people that were the most outspoken, and they say this was a devastating day for The Democrats, and you know it, john, and everybody else knows it. This is a devastating day for The Democrats. A very dumb and unfair question. If you look at his correction, he took that totally out of play. He made his decision based on the facts, not based on some rule, so you shouldnt even ask
that question because you know it is a phony. Go ahead. [question indiscernible] pres. Trump The Democrats had nothing and now they have less than nothing and i think theyre going to lose the 2020 election very big, including congressional seats because of the path they chose. Now who knows where it goes, from what i hear, theyre giving up. I just say, i know them too well, they will never give up. Theyll go back in the room and try to figure something out. This whole thing has been h
committee know him well enough to defend him from the attacks sure to come. we ll see. i think he will be willing to defend himself. he has an amazing track record as a patriot and public servant. bill: as we see more coming into the room let s bat around the order that we have here. ian prior. tell us where you are on this today as we get ready for this hearing. one of the things i think you ll see, congress will try to draw distance between dni and doj and draw out from maguire did you want to give this to congress but stopped by the loc opinion with the department of justice? that s the angle they ll go. right now democrats feelings towards barr. he was mentioned in the call. i think they ll try and get to him and maybe get him to come in and testify about something. now look, the olc opinion was very well reasoned and the complaint was given to the public integrity unit and they determined no campaign finance violation, no violation of law. i think the president and his
pointed out that even though the report distinguishes between conspiracy and collusion at a different part it says that conspiracy and collusion, ch colloquially can mean the same thing. there was no criminal activity. prosecutable. prosecutable criminal activity involving the relationship between the trump campaign and russian interests. that is clear. there was no crime committed there, according to mueller. we ll hear more about that this afternoon. and, of course, obstruction and whether or not the president was exonerated, a different matter. and there was a significant part. lauren, i know you want to talk about when congressman ted lou, i believe a former jag, judge advocate in the military, talked to whether or not mueller the reason he wasn t prosecuted or indicted is because he was a president or not. let s roll that and get your
impeachment as something of a backup as that. a republican might have gone in, had plenty of opportunities to go back to that and say one member, i think, tried, and didn t succeed. there seems to be some conflict between this testimony that he gave to ted lieu and a statement put out by bill barr, in which bill barr said the special counsel sured me it wasn t but for the olc opinion. i don t know how you square that. i didn t see any republican go in and try to muddy it up, given how clear this was. and if they really thought that mueller didn t mean to say this, they would have asked that question. one reason he wasn t indicted, olc opinion. democrats didn t want to touch it. they have it. > they didn t want to ruin a good thing. i want to underscore something you said, laura. afterwards, maybe robert mueller didn t realize what he was
