team failed to reach a conclusion and turned that task of the attorney general paid the attorney general in concert with them, to be the deputy attorney rod rosenstein decided that it was not warranted as the mueller report indicated the possible obstruction case was a hodgepodge of complicated factsd law. so now we wait to see democrats on the hill try to make mueller do something he just says he doesn t want to do, that s testify on the hill with a subpoena. melissa? melissa: absolutely. we are to short receiver or nancy pelosi short time ago saying they agree to the skin allegedly because they like ramming. she s the coming up today, she s impressed to see more pay to anything? absolutely. this is spilling out into the open. none of it that democrats have been having behind closed doors. to move forward of proceedings
melissa: the special counsel also saying that charging a president with a crime was not an option, that his team could consider. we have full foxing coverage, white house correspond to kevin corke is on the front line with the new reaction from the present, and catherine herridge s life of the department of justice. we are going to start with catherine. what are things like they are today, catherine? i was in so the justice department robert mueller spoke to reporters for approximately . often has a different feeling when you are close to the principal. i ve covered mueller for 18 years, first as fbi director fbi director and now a special counsel. today he was very relaxed. also laser like it has focused, delivering that prepared testimony, appearing to me to be very careful not to stray from that text. he also gave the strongest indicator that he is not going to testify to congress publicly or privately. listen.
russians masquerading as american citizens. there s the discussion of what s called the olc memo, the office of legal counsel in the justice department behind me. it s like the internal lawyer for the executive branch. what robert mueller said today is that his hands were tied because of this long-standing justice department policy that you can t indict a sitting president. in other words, it didn t matter what the evidence was. robert mueller said today that he could not proceed with an indictment. listen. first, the opinion explicitly permits the investigation of a sitting president because it is important to preserve evidence while memories are fresh and documents available. second, the opinion says of the constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing. we have one more.
return and talked about taking that further, jerry nadler subpoenaed 81 different individuals to come and get documents and information as a releases investigation. again, i don t think the democrats can get over the fact that they lost in 2016, donald trump s president, and they can t beat him in the ballot box in 2020 so they feel the only thing they can do is to further these investigations and move toward impeachment. americans want to move on. melissa: nancy pelosi said she was able to investigate and legislate the same time. we will see. thank you, i appreciate her time. president trump declaring case closed after special counsel robert mueller breaks his silence on the russian report. is he right? our pallet panel is next ok everyone! our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy! whoo-hoo! great-tasting ensure. with nine grams of protein and twenty-six vitamins and minerals. ensure, for strength and energy.
melissa: nancy post making a statement short time ago, she says they will continue to investigate and legislate. she staying away from the letter i word. we re getting it right now. you bring up a very interesting point. robert mueller clearly was trying to get out there and clarify something, that something was bugging him. maybe it was that criticism that he was supposed to have made a decision. no, i wasn t supposed to make a decision, i wasn t allowed to. all he was trying to do was lay out the facts, and i have done that, soon i m leaving, goodbye. it s more that than we found enough evidence. we didn t. he says it wasn t his job to decide one way or the other, oh stop bothering me about that. it sounds very technical, this olc decision stuff. the truth of the matter is that there is a big difference between saying, i would have found obstruction but i can t charge. we had obstruction but we can t charge.
