welcome back. as attorney general bill barr is at the doj this saturday and reading the mueller report deciding what he ll release to congress, we re hearing across the midwest. good to see you, my friend. boy, republicans have sure changed their tune on bob mueller, haven t they? well, not as much as democrats have changed their tune. [laughter] on bob mueller, let s be clear about that. i love my team until i love another team. but the one thing that we can say is the release of the report, we don t know what s in it, i agree with that, but the release of a report on a friday night after 5 p.m. during the ncaa tournament is bad optics for the democrats. leland: hey, what s worse optics, the fact that that s when was given to the attorney general or the fact that there s no indictments coming out of it and now you ve got democrats going, well, we don t need we don t care whether there were indictments, we need to read the
details of that report maybe the entire report it s too early to tell, obviously it s certain names have to be redacted and all that stuff and it s a very timely process. don summers is the former communications director for the former senate majority leader harry reed. john, are they jumping the gun to already be talking about that before, obviously barr has had a chance to fully read the report, weigh the report, talk to rosenstein and obviously, robert mueller about the report. yeah, neil i think everyone needs to slow their role on this one, right? i mean it s too soon to start calling for subpoenas of mueller and anyone on his team. it s also too early for republicans in the trump adminitration to declare victory because we just don t know what s in that report so i think everyone needs to take a breath, give attorney general barr some time to take a look at the report, and then come up with, you know, with what the next steps ought to be and obviously, one of those next steps n
clear-eyed judgment about what those facts say and frankly, the picture that s been painted so far is troubling, but i m still going to withhold final judgment until i actually get a chance to read this report. leland: congressman, i have watched a lot, but not all of the coverage since about 5 p.m. yesterday when this news broke and well, yeah, well, i just look tired. i had to talk to you earlier today, too. but anyway, you are the first democrat that i ve heard who has gotten out and said, just what you said, that no one should be looking for bad news in this and that the contra-positive of that is it s good news for the country, that you don t have any member of the president s inner circle indicted for having a conspiracy with russian agencies as many allege was going to happen. why do you think that s hard for your fellow democrats to say? i think there s a big difference whether or not people are indicted or whether we should make clear-eyed judgments about the veracity of th
book things to do draw a conclusion and if they tripadvisor don t get it, then they re ready to subpoena the special counsel, and make the money whose been silent for years testify. this if it is not made public in its entirety, we will use a come pulse or it process and subpoena the report and if necessary, we ll reserve the right to call mueller before the committee or maybe even barr before the committee. now that the report is done democrats also say they re worried the attorney general might try to give the trump team a sneak peak but republicans can t believe their ears because this investigation has been leak -free from start to finish and they don t know why that would change now. with many democrats right now in this political maine majority, theophano want impeachment as the end result regardless of the fact, that s the opposite of the direction you re supposed to go if again this report comes out and says there are no new indictments and there is no collusion they ought
to tom s point, they re wasting over and there are no new valuable time doing so. indictments. now is that a good sign for the we will have more after this. president? we ll be speaking with former whitewater independent counsel ken starr who will be joining us in a moment and likes to warn folks do not jump to early conclusion and first to peter do ocey with the latest. neil we finally got our first official congressional action since the mueller report dropped that 3:00 p.m. conference call where democrats are all going to dial in and hear from relevant, committee chairs, about what the next steps are specifically when it comes to messaging but also just whooo! want to take your next vacation to new heights? in terms of interpreting what might come from the justice tripadvisor now lets you book over a hundred thousand tours, department. as for everybody else, lawmakers attractions, and experiences in destinations around the world! are on standby, because as soon like new york! as t
