judiciary committee. i think that s wrong. i believe he owes it to the nation and future generations to go up there and tell the story he wrote up. it s not going to be the circus that he anticipates if the republicans get out of hand, they will be looked at as that, out of hand, and i think that he would provide the credibility to the report that as we all know, a lot of people are not reading. and the other point that is made by that woman who is at justin amash s town hall, she s interested in government and politics enough to go to a town hall, she had no idea there was anything negative in the report. i don t know how mueller can think tonight the report speaks for itself if people aren t reading it. exactly. i think he can probably read the new york telephone book and get a lot of people looking at him. today he spent nine minutes, i mean, it s wall to wall

when i really need something. everyone in america hears of the mueller report and thinks of that telephone book sized definitive be all and end all report. that s not necessarily what we re going to see from mueller. in part because mueller doesn t necessarily control what ends up getting turned over from the attorney general s office to congress. so what we have seen mueller do throughout is that every indictment he has brought, every court filing is more detailed, more inciteful and better informed and more narrative than we need for the underlying criminal charges. it s why we refer to these as speaking indictments. they have a role beyond proving the criminal case. one of the things that i would imagine mueller is thinking at this moment and his team is
if we don t see it on our watch, it s probably because the court needs to negotiate the actions. then we get to the report. you have been following this very closely, do you believe we are done until the report? this memo comes out on manafort. this is a big enchilada for him. next comes the report. nothing in between. it s hard to say. john and neil were talking about this very thoughtfully a few minutes agato but they re not journalists. i always turn to a journalist when i really need something. everyone in america hears of the mueller report and thinks of that telephone book sized definitive be all and end all report. that s not necessarily what we re going to see from mueller. in part because mueller doesn t necessarily control what ends up getting turned over from the attorney general s office to
special counsel s materials and investigation turned over to congress, including grand jury information and other confidential information. for grand jury information, john, he would have to go to the a.g. he d have to get a court order for that. it s attainable but you guys should be on the same page about that, right? if there s a thin report and questions left unanswered and suggestions of hallways that weren t walked down mueller could get subpoenaed and you wind up with a whole new round of exploration. i always thought trump made a serious tactical mistake by attacking mueller and questioning his ethics and trying to delay the report. the best thing that could happen for trump is that the mueller report makes a lot of things public, that s a thick telephone book i don t know if people know what telephone books are, but they used to be really thick books. a telephone thick book that lays out everything he says found if decided not to indict the
