Saying he may deliver the principal conclusions, is he any closer to meeting that deadline .

Those redacted lines for President Trump and his associates . Im jake tapper. If you thought the Mueller Report was the end, it really might just be the beginning. House democrats have issued a subpoena today to obtain the full report. All the underlying evidence and zero redactions. The democrats are now faced with the question of what to do next, after Robert Mueller made it clear he found no direct evidence of any member of the trump team conspiring with russia to criminally interfere with the 2016 election, while also describing numerous incidents of potential obstruction of justice by the president. And simultaneously, painting a devastating picture of a white house and a presidency beset by chaos and prevarication. A president saved, perhaps, only by the doj guidelines to not indict a sitting president , and the president s own staffs refusal to carry out his direct orders sometimes.

No Robert Mueller. It is worth pointing out right at the outset that Robert Mueller will not be there at the press Conference Tomorrow because thats weird. The announced, the declared pu
Are now calling for the opening of impeachment proceedings. Welcome to thursday. Its meet the press daily. Im chuck todd right here in rainy washington. Bob mueller handed the baton to congress, and now the president and his attorney general are hitting mueller. The president not only attacked muellers credibility, he soed disinformation about muellers Public Statement. In a way you could say he was attempting to obstruct muellers analysis of the case. He said essentially youre innocent. Im innocent of all charges. If we had had confidence that the president clearly did commit a crime, we would have said so. There was no charge because he had no information. Under Longstanding Department policy, a president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. Charging the president with a crime was, therefore, not an option we could consider. Russia didnt help me at all. Russia, if anything, i think, helped the other side. They used sophisticated cyber techniques to hack into
