expected testimony of robert mueller on wednesday of next week. there has been a ton of back and forth about the exact details and the logistics. he is going to do three hours with the judiciary committee first and then two hours after that with the comparatively smaller intelligence committee. the first round with the judiciary will focus on alleged obstruction of justice by the president. the second setting with the intelligence committee will likely focus on russia s attack on our election and the trump campaign s involvement in and awareness of that attack. his team will be allowed to testify as well.
ask. you have also know heading into what is going to be a big week next week, you should know this weekend you have the opportunity to get yourself ready for next week s big week. on sunday night, msnbc will air a special, a prep session for you and the country on mueller s investigations and mueller s report and his findings. that s hosted by ari melber at 9:00 p.m. eastern on sunday. attendance is mandatory. if you are driving somewhere for the summer weekend or if you are going to be molding the laundry or doing dishes or time to listen to something, i might also commend thee to the brand-new podcast just launched today that is aimed at explaining the mueller report, but dramatizing it and making it cool and listenable. this was dropped by the good folks at law fare. a lot of people have read the mueller report out loud including members of congress reading it out loud and project and turned into theater. the law fare folks have done a really, really good job producing this as an a
decision have him detained is appropriate. they said we are asking the court reconsider that issue. we filed a motion when the case was under seal earlier today. the judge said i will have a look at it and the defense lawyer thank you, your honor, but the judge said i looked at the pretrial services report and when i saw the amount of time that your client is outside the us and carrying enough of an exposure that the incentive to flee would be quite high. i will read your motion to let him out, but really? there is george nader whose presence spreads like a food stain through the pages of the mueller report. newly charged as of today not just with additional child porn changes that he face and done time for in the past, but also charged with international child sex trafficking. that indictment unsealed today has bail denied. this happens of course just as washington braces itself for the
none of the scandals surrounding this president including this one are anything like what we have seen from other presidents. from even the worst presidents. part of the reason george nader, convicted child porn aficionado, george nader, part of the reason he is in trump s world is his name appears in the mueller investigation more than 100 times. he gave multiple interviews working with mueller s team. that s how we know what mueller reported about the somewhat mysterious meetings happening with the trump campaign and the transition and the trump administration and various foreign entities that nader was involved with. a lot of the stuff in the mueller report that surrounds george nader and that might explain his role is blacked out as grand jury material or protective techniques. i think this is page 148. tons of stuff gets to the full narrative and it s blacked out
where the focus is. it s an important first step. i will say part of the challenge has been the fog of confusion created by this administration s whole congress. you documented it on your program many times. the administration constantly rebuffing congress or refusing to obey congressional subpoenas that were duly issued. they created a fog ever issues and that s why the hearing is so important. the public can finally understand what he concluded. have you been doing like a moot court like dry run practice sessions where somebody pretends to be robert mueller? we have been preparing. i won t reveal the activities, but i will say this. who is playing robert mueller. we will after next wednesday. there are capable talented lawyers on this committee. many of whom you had on your program. we are unified and the stakes are very high.
