, of course, the attorney general bob barr does not want mueller to testify. he doesn t want to be contradict inside his lies and misrepresents. i m sure he would be thrilled if his misrepresentations were the last word and we look forward to mr. mueller s testimony. taken all together tonight, these democratic chairman sound pretty confident. the trump administration sounds a little shook. now apparently afraid of even private testimony or mueller talking about his report in public. so what is scary? what has them shook about the facts? what is scary about a 400-page pile of evidence? bob mueller wrote the story of our political lifetime for all to see, to quote the late great product dij, he put our lifetime between the paper s lines. next week, some of those paper s lines may come to life on tv,
he didn t have to include that at all tonight. that s absolutely right, ari. i think it shows that barr was trying to be intellectually honest. because if he goes out and misrepresents what robert mueller has found, he won t stand for that. he s a marine combat veteran who spent two years of his life doing this. i think that s absolutely the reason it was included. and it s why congress is going to continue to demand to see the actual report. because this as you have been pointing out it doesn t quote a full sentence from the report. the devil is in the details on this. we have known ever since they announced the end of the mueller investigation, we knew there was no conspiracy. no criminal conspiracy. what this document does not say though is okay, what explains these contacts? what judgments did mueller and his investigators render on trump, were they exploited by the russians?
the united states has shipped weapons to iran. the united states undercut its allies and secretly violated. those charges are utterly false. he ob fuss skates and misrepresents what he notes. a lot of the american people just simply don t believe you. there was pandemonium. top officials of the reagan white house go into complete cover up mode. i mean destruction of evidence. north scrambled to destroy all documentation of his clandestine efforts. oliver north decides he was
but if you say someone is a jerk or a fool, those are always protected. and enemy of the american people, that is in his opinion and clearly protected. so you can t say crooked hillary? jeff is right, otherwise i d be a very rich man. i think, an anderson, the situation like with steve bannon, to undermine the institutions of democracy and discredit them for a variety of reasons. bannon believes that they are corrupt and all the rest but i think you have to see these attacks on the press in a broader context. it s all part of that? yes. and clearly these folks that showed up in harrisburg for president trump, they really believe the press misrepresents. they totally believe this. right. it doesn t mean they re right, though. well, there in lies the next
now, there is a special obligation for him to condemn publicly these attacks because the independents of the judiciary core principle of our democracy is at steak here and it s not at some point in the future that he can avoid the damage to the courts. it s right now. and he needs to demonstrate his independence, otherwise the american people will have justifiable doubts that he will be more than a rubber stamp for the trump administration. the president also brought up an incident from 2008 where you said you served in vietnam and hasn t actually serve in vietnam but served during vietnam. president trump this morning tweeted quote senator richard blumenthal who never fought in vietnam misrepresents what judge gorsuch told you. do you have any response to the president? this issue is not about me. it s far bigger than me, and far bigger than judge gorsuch s nomination. it s about the independence of the judiciary and donald trump s
