to tell everybody he committed a bank robbery ? he laid out facts that support that the president obstructed justice and he said figuratively congress do your job. yeah. look, mueller are revealed the president gave inadequate and contradicting answers but other witnesses tried to impede his work. take a listen to this. there were many questions that you asked the president that he simply didn t answer, isn t that correct in. true. there were many answers that contradicted other evidence you had gathered during the investigation, isn t that correct? yes. by trump campaign officials and administration officials impeded your investigation? i would generally agree with that. glen, how did that affect the outcome of the investigation? it didn t give mueller s team everything they would have liked to have had to decide exactly
congress. so the public is okay, it seems, of sendsing people to washington who are nasty and they try to be nasty in order to win re-election. we have members of congress i think with great intentionality create an opportunity to say something nasty. and in that division we re having, i can i ask you, when you say they re going to create something to be nasty, are they doing it to try to score points with constituents? do they believe that reflects the values of their voters? are they doing it because they re trying to put something forth like a click bait to play out on social media and get attention to their name? what is behind it? all of the above. i think there are voters who are like that who actually want members of congress to go and scream and cultivate that. there s plenty of evidence to support that. i think the other thing is many
the match up. welcome to weekends with alex witt. we have new developments on two major stories. a new revelation from the democrat in charge of starting the impeachment prosays and fresh reaction as the president attacks the chairman of the oversight committee, elijah cummings. first, now 100 house democrats supporting impeachment proceedings and the chair of the house judiciary committee is ve revealing his personal view on whether the president should be impeached. my personal view is that he deserves impeachecachmentimpeac. he s violated the law six ways from sunday. that s not the question. the question is can we develop enough evidence to put before american people. we have to do this whatever time frame there is and we re doing it now. we re engaged in investigation into these different alleged crimes. the house has now in recess until september so my colleague asked adam schiff is there a

private citizencitizen, should him. all of them constitute high crimes and misdemeanors. i don t know what mulvaney was talking about. we know they are claiming that mueller s hearing was a victory for them. do you think that mueller, as a prosecutor, was jst trying to be absolutely fair with his testimony. i m not going to criticize a man or woman for being too fair. bob mueller made it clear he was motte the right person to formally accuse the president of crime. that he said, is up to congress. we all know that means impeachment. real quickly, if bob mueller had said, we have evidence that president trump walked into a bank, drew a gun, demanded money from teller, took money that didn t belong to him and fled the bank, would bob mueller have
