kasie. >> geoff bennett, thanks. pete williams, perhaps i will see you back here on thanksgiving day if any of this is any indication. thank you both. what is next in these investigations and what can we expect? with me now is former u.s. congresswoman liz holtman. she voted to impeach president nixon and she wrote a book called "impeaching trump." with us is msnbc contribute tore. charlie, i want to start with you. we're heading into the holidays here and a real crunch time in the mueller investigation. why now for these democratic senators to sue, and is there any chance that this will actually result in courts taking action in time to impact whether or not whitaker can oversee the release of mueller's findings? >> a lot of that depends on when mueller actually produces findings. we're all in the dark. we think he's writing a report.
