not a witness and director comey was not a witness and the one talking about tampering with the record and joe biden talks about the statute being debated on the senate floor he talks about this criminalizing document shredding and there s nothing in the in your report that alleges that the president destroyed any evidence. so what i have to ask you and what i think people are working around in this hearing is let me lay a little foundation that the prosecutor have a reasonable probability of conviction to bring a charge, is that correct? that s generally accurate. okay. and the regulations concerning your job as special counsel state that your job is to provide the general attorney to explain the prosecution or the declination decisions reached by your office. you recommended declining prosecution of president trump and anyone associated with his campaign because there was insufficient evidence to convict
about his investigation and about what is in essence a series of declination decisions. i do not think you will see him go beyond the bounds of the report and people really should be managing their expectations about getting anything beyond the report. as to whether or not he will literally read from the report, i think you should expect him to stay very, very close to the text of that report. so david, jerry nadler says there is substantial evident trump is guilty of an impeachable offense. he said in part this weekend the report presents very substantial evident the president is guilty of high crimes or misdemeanors and we have to let mueller present the facts to the american people. will it move the needle on impeachment? the mueller report when it came out surprisingly did not really change donald trump s
but he did break his silence on twitter a short time ago. tweeting for the very first time since mueller delivered his report to the department of justice. good morning, have a great day. and what a day it s going to be. good morning, indeed. it could be a big news day and we have a full team keeping track of it all. some are shaking their heads. julie ainsley, justice reporter with us. good to talk to you this morning. talk us through what to expect today and when we can feasibly hearing from bill barr. well, all expectations are on this afternoon for when the attorney general, william barr, here will finish his review of the mueller report and send out that broad stroke summary to congress and the media and the public will get that at the same time. that will answer some of the big questions lingering over this. hopefully, the collusion question namely. he will also get into mueller s declination decisions. that means the decisions that the special counsel made not to
reviewing the report filed friday by special counsel robert mueller. they ll be back at it today with the goal of sharing a summary of the major findings by day s end. house democrats say a summary isn t good enough and are threatening a subpoena fight if attorney general barr is not willing to share the report in full and soon. ag barr just five weeks into his second stint at attorney general who announced friday that after nearly two years on the job, 675 days, the special counsel has submitted to me today a confidential report explaining the prosecution of declination decisions he has reached. i am reviewing the report and anticipate that i may be in a position to advise you of the special counsel s principal conclusions as soon as this weekend. not once was mueller blocked from pursuing something he requested. mueller will leave his post within days and sources tell us no more indictments are planned by the office of the special counsel. but we don t know what is in the report. rep
