mueller report. the president of the united states violated his oath of office. the question is, what do you do with the facts? now, as a public service, two people with a deep knowledge of the actual report, marcie wheeler and writing about national security and civil liberties and quinta is a managing editor of law fare and published this chart used by senate democrats when they questioned attorney general bill barr. let me start with you. you were tweeting and writing about this. the microcosm of this moment in which this new information comes to light that had already been in the report. when everyone s attention is focused on it, they think wow, that doesn t look good. exactly. i think it really drove home exactly how difficult it is to look at the contents of the report. it is stuffed chock full of information like the flynn voice mail.
other than the president would be prosecuted. the president as i speak to you now, sir, is above the law. he is above the law. he will continue to be above the law until congress acts. we in this country cannot allow it to be said that the president is above the law. these prosecutors intricated in the letter that we prosecute people for obstruction because if you don t, the entire system itself can find itself weaken and may collapse. they didn t use those exact words, but you will say to people, you can interfere with an investigation with immunity. this is really now about congress. will congress have the will to follow the way that the framers of the constitution have put in place for us and impeachment is the genesis of it. the trial is in the senate. we are a grand jury. we will indict. the senate will take up the
me again saying you can t do this and it wasn t you who did it? i did it. you know what? a quarter of all women do it. one of the reasons i wrote about this again and thought it was important for me to disclose it was just because i m not special you know? there s so many women have gone through the same thing i have and it s not weird. it s health care. don t punish our health care providers because we would gladly throw ourselves in jail before we let them go? there s this moment i wanted to play, this infamous moment on the campaign trail where donald trump basically stumbles into this moral logic with my colleague chris matthews. it blew up where shouldn t the women be punished here if that s what you think about it? take a listen. do you believe in punishment for abortion, yes or no, as a principle? the answer is that there has to be some form of punishment. for the woman? yes. ten years?
testified that in december of 2016 when flynn was calling up the ambassador to russia and doing all these crazy things that violated the stated policy of the united states, trump was already pissed at flynn. he was angry at flynn because obama warned him about the investigation on november 10th, 2016. trump spent the day saying i didn t know about the investigation and that effectively according to the mueller report is him calling steve bannon and hope hicks liars because that s what they told the fbi. trump not only knew about it, but he was stew being it through december 2016. thank you both. really spresht it. a legislator who has been calling for the president to be impeached for over a year now. the duty to go through impeachment and public trial of president trump. you are someone that a lot of people have taken the position
all 450 pages of it, it was difficult for people to process, in part because the president and his allies were spinning it, but then when you pull out individual pieces of information like that voice mail, they look incredibly damning. there is a bunch of stuff that we talked about certain moments that you felt had not been given enough attention. marcie, you had called attention to this moment in the report which has not gotten a lot of attention. according to him, trump asked him to bring a note telling jeff sessions to give a speech that would say the following. this is while they are investigating what they know is a breech. this hack by a foreign adversary. now a group of people want to subvert the constitution of the united states. i am going to meet with a special prosecutor that explain this is very unfair and let them move forward with election meddling for future elections so it can t help in future elections. this is an attempt to shut down the whole thing.
