Report actually does i would perhaps want to address the question of whether, you know, he didnt come to a finding on obstruction, because he meant to leave that up to congress. I mean, that said, he is doing this at the Justice Department. I think if he does decide to draw those sort of, you know, lines of difference from barr, hes going to do it gently. Unless this is a very different Robert Mueller then everyone at the Justice Department is used to, then Michael Zeldin is used to, were not going to see him coming out and flame throwing. That said, it wouldnt be surprise me if he does take time to thank his team for their hard work and for their professionalism, because they have said nothing in the face of being under attack for two years. If youre just joining us, were expecting Special Counsel Robert Mueller here he is. Lets listen in. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for being here.

constrained by the long-standing doj protocol on not indicting a sitting president. he said, simply, that it wasn t an option we could consider, they thought it was unconstitutional. so they didn t even get to that point given the longstand, doj protocol. i also thought it was interesting that he pointed out that even if he was to give testimony, it will not go beyond the report. he seemed to be setting the stage there, managing expectations a little bit, on both sides. obviously, democrats have a lot invested in what this man would say. republicans have said they want to hear from him, as well, for different reasons. but the fact that he was trying to sort of explain to everyone, as much as you have invested in this, i am not going to go beyond the contents of the report, and said almost, don t expect to even hear from me again after this report. this is the last statement i really want to make on the substance. and finally, i just wanted to point out, i thought it was very interestin
identified chief of staff who can interface with white house counsel and ensure smooth management of everything. the irony here, joe, might be that what ultimately insulates the president from indictment is not his legal team, not his willingness to be forthcoming and make a full confession, but rather this long standing doj policy that says you should not indict a sitting president for a lot of credential reasons that have to do with good government. that doesn t prevent prosecutors in the southern district of new york from preparing an indictment that they clearly have in the works that would come into place as soon as he were to leave office which will inevitably happen at some point in time, but this white house is not organized, is not staffed at a level that will permit it to effectively deal with the challenges that will come at it now from multiple places. but, joyce, of course, that is just guidance from the justice department. that is a standing question that the supreme co
