whole mueller report eventually becomes public after a legal fight. former fbi director james comey weighed in on the mueller report today and at times op ed he has no idea what mueller might conclude. and adds this, i also don t care. i care only that the work be done well and completely. if it is justice will have prevailed and core american values will have been protected at a time when so much of our national leadership has abandoned its commitment to truth and the rule of law. new york times keeps a running tally on all of mueller s work nearly two years into this investigation. and the times indeed writes that mueller has issued more than 100 criminal counts against dozens of people including six trump advisers or officials. meanwhile, we re also tracking important developments on congressional investigations into this white house today. we learned this afternoon, the white house has rejected a request from house democrats for documents relating to trump s private discussions wit
initiative, but was it something that would be helpful? those questions as well as others we pointed out earlier, such as if the department finds evidence of a crime by the president or evidence of the president violating his oath of office, will that make that available to congress? he hasn t gotten asked that question. it s a hugely important question. let me go further and ask you, as a practical matter, are the staff directors for a booker, a harris keeping a running tally of everything that needs to be swept up and asked? kamala harris is probably the best questioner. it s probably a shame she wasn t the first person to ask questions. she usually draws blood from these nominees more than you remember famously jeff sessions said she got nervous when she asked him questions. i assume she s waiting at the end of this committee and has either been watching the hearing herself, her staff has been watching and collecting some of the questions that weren t asked, and she and senato

no. i said oh, that s great. and then he says, do you think they can read my lips? i said no, i don t think so, no. it sounds like the way he delivered it it was kind of in his typical devilish fashion. he has this joy about him when he s doing his work. especially when he s being a mav rit. especially when he s being a maverick. but his party leaders hadn t given up. mccain took a phone call from the president. on the senate floor vice president mike pence pleaded with mccain to vote yes. but this is john mccain after all, former prisoner of war who survived 5 1/2 years of beatings a and interrogations in vietnam. one of my friends kept a running tally, which is tougher, d.c. interrogator or old senators? probably not going to change his mind. at 1:29 a.m., thumbs down.
to wait until after the mid terms. speaking of the mid terms, president trump announced he will hit the campaign trail this fall. i ll go six or seven days a week when we re 60 days out, and i will be campaigning for all of these great people that do have a difficult race, and we think we re going to bring them over the line. all right. so the president went on to say he s instructed the white house to compile a list of about two dozen mostly hotly-contested races so he can rally for vulnerable republicans across the country. however, trump had a different opinion about how presidents should spend their time when it was barack obama in the white house. i mean why is obama campaigning? he ought to be out working. he ought to be out but every time i look at him he s campaigning. in this year s highly-contested mid terms are on track to be the most expensive in history. according to a running tally by the center for responsive
