it doesn t go away. a lot of parts of this report were taken out or will not be made public is because the fbi is continuing to work intelligence, continuing to work on information as it relates to what russia was doing and what they are continuing to do. julia, i know you want to get in on this. what did you want to say? i think it is quite possible that mueller did what he was sort of ordered to do, which was essentially bring the indictments that you can bring and those that you can under doj guidelines you won t and that the decision about wither trump or not is ultimately always been a political question. and we don t know what these findings are if they are going to galvanize a political response or if it comes through an election, but this idea that, you know, this report was going to be a smoking gun and everyone would be walked out of the white house and, you know, handcuffs was a delusion about what it is
mueller but still in the works and we know that in new york state at least there are already a number of investigations into the trump organization, the trump business associations, et cetera. i don t think people are totally in the clear in terms of having legal jeopardy but i want to be very clear here, don, we would never hear the world collusion come out of robert mueller s report and won t be ultimate because it s anti trust term. the idea that would come out of this is anyone that associated with the campaign may have been susceptible to or in line with people who were trying to influence the election. that could still be there and that s what is pending and the declination is important. why did they not pursue anyone else. we have a lot to look forward to reading. thank you both. appreciate it. one way or another, the mueller investigation will be a turning

with the judge but it is a potential sleeper issue the left is hoping to score points with today. bret: we were told that one of the introducers senator rob portman worked on the mock questioning with judge kavanaugh. rob portman has done that job for vice presidential nominees and others along the way. a.b. when you look at the different political environment when we went through this process with judge gorsuch to now, how much of that might be weighing on brett kavanaugh s approval numbers in this early stage? i want to go back to what dana said about chuck schumer the minority leader and it comes from the polls that juan mentioned. the left of the democratic party can point to the polls and say why are you giving up on this fight? this man is unpopular. there won t be a slip-up in his testimony. there could be a revelation. something could always happen. it is a tight margin. not a lot of room for error. and so you can hold out the
