exactly what would the charges be in impeachment proceedings? russian clothes the core charge as mueller himself conceded there is no evidence that ever happened. the first volume of the report details numerous efforts emanating from russia to influence the election. this volume includes a discussion of the trump campaign s response to this activity as well as our conclusion that there was insufficient evidence to charge a broader conspiracy. tucker: insufficient evidence. in other words, there was no crime. that s how it works. the same is true for obstruction by mueller s own admission after two years he and his subordinates were unable to find a criminal act. the report describes the results and analysis of our obstruction of justice investigation involving the president. if we had had confidence that the president did not commit a crime, we would have said so. we did not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a
put out a joints statement between attorney general barr i m sorry, doj and special counsel s office saying there is no daylight between anything barr said about what mueller told him and what mueller said. tucker: it s obvious, you know, the left lives in this airless little world substained by those two cable channels. i think they are not even aware what reality is at this point at all. exactly. and, look, i have my theory here is that if you look at that part two of the mueller report, there is two types of acts that they looked at. one was prespecial counsel, two was special counsel. it seems to me from reading it that they didn t think the acts before special counsel came anywhere near obstruction of justice. tucker: right. afterwards, they seemed like they were leaning that way and maybe that s enough in their minds for probable cause, which is the low bar you need for indictment. but there is no way that they were going to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt. so i th
that we need to be taking seriously even if you don t think people should be rotting in jail for marijuana offenses which i don t. tucker: i agree with you completely. of course people should not be rotting in jail for marijuana possession, obviously. i agree with you completely. but the question is when politicians start pushing on their people and their populations are supposed to be representing things that don t elevate them but instead degrade them and make them dumber and more passive. i mean so let s say joe biden does a fund raisener miami and comes back you know cocaine really shouldn t be illegal. why don t we decriminalize i m serious. yeah, joe biden is really cool at least acknowledge that he is being paid to say that? one way to sort of think about this, one analogy you might think about is how does what is the sort of structure of the alcoholic history in the united states? because we have to probably expect similar patterns because you know, these two drugs aren t
and then they left it for congress to continue. tucker: congress didn t do anything, so we have known this for quite some time, right? congress didn t was not going to impeach the president, i don t believe. before this morning. now i think they will. and so that was not good enough for robert mueller and he had to push the country toward impeachment because he thinks it s good for the country? what s the thinking here? i guess that s what it is. it is really unclear. tucker: robert mueller really believes. patriotic character and served his country in vietnam. by all accounts a decent man. he believes it s good for america on the eve of another presidential election for the president to be impeached? you know, i guess the proof is in the pudding. tucker: yes. one thing you want to go back to is the russia investigation. the russia investigation for all intents and purposes concluded in july of 2018. when they delivered the indictment to the russian hackers. tucker: tha
about investigation that turned to be based on a false smear of treason, that complaining about that means that you obstructed or that you were really didn t like this investigation, that s going to be a difficult thing to convince the american people of. but for people who think that the guilt is already apparent because of what happened in 2016, it doesn t really matter. and as i mentioned, there is an effort by people in the media and others who perpetuated the russia hoax to not be held accountable for what they did taking these leaks from people, not asking difficult questions of why they were getting these leaks or what they really meant. and if this enables them to avoid being held accountable, they are all for it. tucker: so if you didn t like the president s program, whe what he was elected on in 2016. if you thought, for example, the united states should continue involvement in middle eastern wars and become closer to russia. all the things he ran on, basically. if you want
