be coming out soon becomes public and is not pocketed by mr whitaker or barr. it s one of the things we have to make sure that that report is public so the american people know the results of the investigation and we have work to do also. we now have enough leads to do our own investigation on some of the things that mueller plaubably knows already but hasn t said. this is something i ve been asking a lot of folks. the regulations don t require it be made public. do you have that power as the committee chair to do so? well, the committee certainly has it the power to subpoena the report and if necessary, we have the power to invite former prosecutor mueller to testify in front of the committee and ask him about it. you re saying once he twur finish, if the executive
data which the people gave to them knew had no value other than to help them microtarget social media, illegal social media interventions in the american election and of korgs the trump tower meeting relating to the hacks from the dnc. this is why it is so important to protect the mueller investigation and to make sure that report that may or may not be coming out soon becomes public and is not pocketed by whitaker or barr. it s one of the things we have to make sure that that report is public so the american people know the results of the investigation and we have work to do also. we now have enough leads to do our own investigation on some of the things that mueller plaubably knows already but hasn t said.
under the special counsel regulations i had the privilege of drafting 20 years ago, put the attorney general in charge. meaning whitaker or barr in the should stop any aspect of the investigation. could say you can t indict don jr. or whom ever and can say that final report that mueller will issue can t be given to the congress in its full report or even any part of it or to the public. so all of that think congress may have mechanisms to get at but we have to worry that the investigations can be stopped and fruits of the investigations, what we ll learn about from mueller, american people may not see because an attorney general that s willful can block that. a small but powerful group of people around the attorney
general now is that mr. whitaker is entirely unqualified and it s preposterous he s running the justice department. in terms of barr, he s a former attorney general and lindsey graham basically saying he s friends with mueller, he s committing to let mueller finish his job. this guy s a member of the club. why would you be worried? right. so there s no doubt former attorneygeneral barr is smart and all those things. the question is does he have radical views on the president being above the law? we re talking about a guy who
congress in its full report or even any part of it or to the public. so all of that think congress may have mechanisms to get at but we have to worry that the investigations can be stopped and tfruits of the investigations, what we ll learn about from mueller, american people may not see because an attorney g attorney general that s willful can block that. a small but powerful group of people around the attorney general now is that mr. whitaker is entirely unqualified and it s preposterous he s running the justice department. in terms of barr, he s a former attorney general and lindsey graham basically saying he s friends with mueller, he s committing to let mueller finish his job. this guy s a member of the club.
