if he had found that then i think he would state it, yes. okay. he was under oath. the word think is really important there. because listen to mueller today. it would be unfair to potentially accuse somebody of a crime when there can be no no court resolution of the actual charge. david, those two things are not consistent. those things entirely consistent. he is no way contra convenient veen was the attorney general said. so bill barr. the attorney general is on the record three occasions he was told by mr. mueller that the oc opinion was not the decisive factor as lawyers but for. with the olc david if he found things that were really bad he would have laid them out even if he didn t charge. he did. barr sawed says he would have done that mueller says today it would be unfair to accuse someone of a crime if i m not charging. those two things you tell me how they re consistent. you are confusing two things. the second volume of report lays
those were mueller s last words today. yet there is at least one american who is still in denial. it s the greatest hoax probably in the history of our country. the witch hunt was a hoax. it was a hoax. it was a witch hunt. abbey phillips is outfront live outside the white house tonight. abby, the white house tonight, what is their thinking. well erin right now the white house, they have their eyes on the iward was, as president trump puts it impeachment. just in the minutes after mueller gave his statement today. sources were telling us that president was gearing up for a fight. his message to democrats who might be tempted to head to the impeachment side of this was basically bring it on. the you president views this as something that can be politically advantageous to him, something that can help him with his base. as a source put it the president believes the american people will view impeachment proceeding as a scam and another senior
department of justice but mueller has no interest in that fight. what he has an interest in is what he start the with today which is today we are losing sight of the important thing, the russians undermined our democracy and the president won t ac knowledge it much less do something about it. we re not and that is a central point that he wants but he was very clear on the second point. which is he was not able to indict the did the most fair thing which was to lay out the obstruction without saying that that he was charging him what it added up to. let me make one simple point. he left. choose. he left it for congress. choose your moisten you make mueller look like a saint yet this is the same mueller who said today that general barr is acting in good faith. sir are you really suggesting that if bafr perjured himself as you seem to imply that that s what mueller would do he would give because he is an institutionallist he would give barr cover you can t have it bo
