conflicted and, you know, very angry i call them angry democrats in. so, you know, so what it let s see whether or not it s legit. you know better than anybody, there s no collusion. there was no collusion, there was no obstruction. there was no nothing. but it s sort of an amazing thing that when you have a great victory. somebody comes in, does a report out of nowhere, tell me how that makes sense? who never got a vote, who the day before he was retained to become special counsel, i told him he wouldn t be working at the fbi. and then the following day, they get him for this. i don t think so. i don t think people get it. with all of that being said, i look forward to seeing the report. well, as we know, there s a reporter, robert mueller and james comey are friendly, not best friends, as the president suggests, while members of mueller s team have indeed donated to democratic
that s not an indictment. it s absolutely something congress has to investigate, but wherever that mueller report comes out, i think everyone needs to remember the limited confines. he s looking at crimes. he s not looking at other things, which are more responsible. the responsibilities of congress. we re going to have to leave it there. appreciate congressman nadler, always. thank you very much. neal katyal, thank you. coming up next, what the president said about john mccain, his funeral, and why the president deserves gratitude from the late senator s family after years of attacks. later, the president s attack on a rival who happens to be married to one of his top advisers. this is probably one of the most bizarre ongoing feuds in washington. details on that, ahead. steven could only imaginem 24hr to trenjoying a spicy taco.burn, now, his world explodes with flavor. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day all-night protection. can you imagine 24-hours without
doesn t square with the facts, as we know them. and as we ve all seen them reported. in a word, gaslighting. the president spoke as he left for a trip to ohio and he began by saying he s okay with making the mueller report public. i don t mind. i mean, frankly, if you told the house, if you want, let them see it. polls suggests a vast majority of democrats and republicans agree with him on that. but take the comment east making on making it public with a grain of salt. the president also in the past repeatedly said how much he wanted to sit down and answer questions from mueller. that, obviously, didn t happen. the president continued talking about mueller, offering up a revisionist and somewhat rambling history of how the probe got started, in his opinion. we re showing you extended portions of his remarks, so you can get a better sense of exactly what he said and if detours that he also went about, as well as the context.
cover-up, and you re saying that the department of justice cannot hold the president any president accountable, because you can t indict him. and the department will then withheld from congress and the public, the information for congress to hold the president accountable. and that yields a result in which the president is above the law. and that s inadmissible in this country. neal, you drafted the special the regulations. where are you in this, in terms of executive privilege. so, the first thing to say is, i agree with robert ray. and this is rare for me to say, i m not someone who normally praises trump, but i think trump does deserve credit today for saying that he thinks the report should be made public. do you believe him? because he also said that he would he wanted to testify against mueller. well, you know, he said it. and i think as robert ray just said, has told the attorney general what he wants to happen. now, he said a bunch of other ludicrous things like,
president talking about mueller shouldn t be able to write a report because he s never got votes. does this that makes no sense at all. mueller is a special counsel, appointed under regulations of the department of justice, to investigate certain matters, which it was decided were a conflict for the department to investigate, because the president, who appoints the highest officers of the department of justice is himself a subject or a target of the investigation, which was focused on suspicions or allegations that the russians, while we know the russians interfered in the 2016 election, with the intention of helping trump win, and the questions are whether trump or people around trump con spired with the russians to do that and did they violate the law in so doing? that was the main reason for the appointment of mueller. and that s a standard operating procedure, to appoint the special counsel in those kinds of circumstances. the president is saying that
