2:03 am
another president again. >> reporter: volume one clearly states there was no collusion by the president and his team. let me take you to the text, the investigation did not establish members of the trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the russian government in its election interference activities. the second volume dealing with obstruction of justice were damaging to the president because it raises 10 instances where the president's actions are questionable. allocations the president urged white house counsel don began to fire mueller, mcgann refused. mueller says the overall evidence was not sufficient to recommend charges. he writes, quote, based on the facts and applicable legal standards we are unable to reach that judgment. this report does not conclude the president committed a crime. it also does not exonerate him. democrats are saying this
2:04 am
investigation is good news for the administration the way he caught it. kellyanne conway taking a victory lap. >> we are accepting apologies for anybody who feels the grace in offering them. there was no collusion and no criminal conspiracy with any russians. >> reporter: the question is what will democrats do with it? they think there are unanswered questions but it is yet to be seen. rob: the trump administration claims victory, unsatisfied democrats call on mueller to testify. them are considering whether the president should face impeachment? jillian: more on the democrats push for action. >> reporter: different democrats picking up different fights here. let's start with calls for robert mueller to testify before congress, democrats like jerry nadler and adam schiff, nadler wants to see mueller no later
2:05 am
than may 23rd and then there's a call for william barr to resign. eric swalwell claiming the president hired bar to bury the facts and barr should have recused himself from all over side of the mueller investigation. >> he is seeking to help donald trump. credibility with the american people. jillian: the call for impeachment louder than ever. democrats like alexandria ocasio cortez vowing to sign an impeachment resolution soon. we haven't heard that from democrat leaders like nancy pelosi. she is expressing frustration too. take a look at this statement from nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. they said special counsel mueller after port paint a disturbing picture of the president weaving a web of deceit, lies and improper behavior and acting as if the law doesn't apply to him but if you hadn't read the report and
2:06 am
listened only to mister barr you wouldn't have known any of that because mister barr has been so misleading. fis impeachment goes not everybody on board. house majority leader hoyer trying to get dems to focus their attention on the election just 18 months away saying that is when american people, the american people will make a judgment about the president. democrats vowing to review the evidence in the mueller report about obstruction of justice. rob: molly hemingway says the special counsel changed the legal standard. >> the obstruction issue is interesting because it is the majority of the report focusing on it. what is concerning is mueller changed the standard, the state are normally is your innocent until the government proves your guilt and his section on obstruction he says trump is guilty and he can't prove his innocence.
2:07 am
that is a dangerous standard to put for someone. if he thinks he has the goods on him he should've called him. he didn't charge him. he was free to make much a out of this but the american people tolerated the russia investigation and all of the mess that caused, the idea that they will now be tolerant of an obstruction probe seemed this was an attack not just on the president but the people who elected him. jillian: democrats vowing their own oversight investigation after mueller left it up to attorney general bar to declare no obstruction. rob: the president's attorney rudy giuliani speaking out in the wake of the release of this report. >> this president has been treated unfairly. the victories no collusion with the russians. i don't think you could be clearer than that. you can read as much as you want, i was up two nights ago going through it. you won't find a thing. that shows donald trump or anybody in his team had any connection with whatever the russians were doing.
2:08 am
it is a clear victory. rob: we are going to hear from rudy giuliani live in the 8:00 hour of "fox and friends". jillian: if you can imagine it didn't take long for hollywood to weigh in on the mueller report. bar equals complete whitewash cover up. oppressed circus orchestrated by the white house. corruption. the view panelist saying william barr is a political hack in attorney general's clothing. it is a disgusting. actress alyssa milano responding to a tweet from chuck schumer, writing bar cover-up. rob: the president says it is back to work after the mueller report found no collusion. >> we now know the russian operatives who perpetrated the schemes did not have the cooperation of donald trump or the trump campaign. jillian: tom fitton has been following this from the start and joins us again live next.

2:12 am
>> the russian government sought to interfere in our election. we now know that the russian operatives who perpetrated the schemes did not have the cooperation of donald trump or the trump campaign. rob: straight to a fox news alert, the released mueller report vindicating the president or damaging him? depends on who you ask. jillian: is it time to investigate the investigators? that is the question floating around. rob: tom fitton has been looking into this entire investigation the last couple years and joins us now. at the end of all of this we see a clear picture of no collusion which is why this all started. obstruction appears a bit hazy.
2:13 am
is that fair? >> there is no obstruction. the attorney general looking at all this, there is no obstruction. this is a lot of gossip dressed up as a suggestion of obstruction in that portion of the report. i think it was a partisan political effort to provide at least some grip for the democrat impeachment and the democratic party was behind this improper investigation and even the first part of the report that shows no collusion could have been completed in a few pages. it is page after page of immaterial, insubstantial, unsurprising and often appropriate contacts between the russians and people associated in and around trump world. nothing inappropriate about anything going on. rob: the meeting in trump towers the when they point to.
2:14 am
>> immaterial, unsubstantial, not -- frankly legal. i don't see much of a problem with it. they had information. the russians had corruption information on hillary clinton and donald trump junior set i will meet with anyone about that. it turns out they were forthcoming about the meeting and tried to spin obstruction eating from that. the president has been terribly forthcoming about all this. he authorized all his people to talk about executive privilege covered conversations. and somehow we are supposed to believe he was trying to obstruct a non-crime. this is mueller's final abuse of power. this report never should have been written. and sure enough, there is never anyone who is going to be satisfied in a deep state or the
2:15 am
establishment party by anything that seems to exonerate donald from. jillian: do we know there was no collusion? that was made very clear the president has been saying that all along. it talks about substantial evidence to show the president was frustrated, he did feel like this was undermining his presidency and i don't think a lot of people can argue that point, what people be hung up on for a while is the president reportedly asked people to do certain things and that is where the suggestion of obstruction comes in. >> senator sessions should never have recused himself. the communications with the russians were insubstantial, they did not require his recusal. the president was upset sessions recused himself. he hired this man to run the justice department within minutes, he recuses himself and you have this massive investigation of harassing the president and he had no way to have anyone rein it in in an appropriate fashion. he was right to be upset and to try to fix that and on top of that you had this mueller
2:16 am
appointment which had all elements of corruption in its appointment. the steel records leaking to the new york times and getting mueller appointed and it turns out rod rosenstein was talking about invoking the 25th amendment wearing a wire. and appointing special counsel all at the same time. i would like to see a report that goes to justice department machinations during the obama administration in the early part of the trump administration, the doj and fbi colluding and conspiring with the clinton campaign to target trump. rob: we will get the horwitz report in the next month or two, the inspector general but a lot of reports and that. kimberly straw soul had a great op-ed talking about the fact that there's nothing in the report about the genesis of this and this is a quote how do you narrate an entire section of the july 2016 trump tower meeting
2:17 am
without noting they were working alongside fusion gps, she had dinner with glenn simpson the day before and after that meeting? she says that tells you everything you need to know about this report. what do you say? >> i didn't see anything about fusion gps, didn't see anything about the hillary clinton dnc operation working with russia intelligence to provide that information during the campaign to the justice department and the fbi. i didn't see any of that and the highlight is the corruption and the corrupt formation of the mueller special counsel. i didn't see anything in their about why mister mueller concluded there was no collusion because we know. rod rosenstein said what ag bar city year ago, no americans knowingly involved themselves with the russians to interfere in our election. the attorney general announced that a year ago. why did the special counsel not
2:18 am
say that a year ago? fishing around trying to ensnare donald trump in a sleazy obstruction charge and it failed. rob: you are certainly on it, paying attention, we appreciate it. >> the biggest quickest response here, justice department should open up the records, all of them especially in the formation of the special counsel operation. rob: thank you so much. jillian: it is 18 after the hour. a lot of talk about the president, special counsel, attorney general and this guy. the internet is buzzing about this bearded mystery man. rob: social media reacting to read actions, how the things left out of the mueller report. left out of the mueller report. so in this commercial we see two travelers at a comfort inn with a glow around them, so people watching will be like, "wow, maybe i'll glow too

>> msnbc host brian williams compared attorney general william barr to an iraqi propagandist. >> we would not be surprised if some headline writer somewhere came up with baghdad bill bar for what we saw today. rob: carly shimkus with serious xm 115 with the online backlash to that come into. >> attorney general william barr facing serious backlash from some members of the media. you heard brian williams comparing him to saddam hussein's infamous propagandist known for telling outlandish lies and went by the name baghdad bob. that comment backfire because people brought up the lies
2:23 am
williams told about his reporting in iraq, some of these comments are not pretty. this would a user says brian williams got bastian of integrity and truth telling. carl saying one of the people in this tweet literally made up war stories about iraq and it wasn't william barr. williams popular want to accuse bar of misleading the public, on capitol hill next week to testify before house and senate committee. jillian: who is the bearded beard? >> who is this guy? we know attorney general rod rosenstein and william barr, but who is that guy with the big beard? angelica on twitter demands to know who is he? i am here to tell you his name is edward o'callaghan, principal associate deputy attorney general. a lot of buzz about him. this person posted a fake comment by william barr saying this is tough, give me a guy with a cool beard to stand behind me.

another twitter user says that guy with the beard has germs on his face more than every dog in the mississippi. that is the first thing i thought of because of that report yesterday that men's beards have more germs and dogs. rob: women with the beard fetish must've loved him. even weirder was rosenstein standing there. he didn't blink or move. >> reminded me of chris christie standing behind the president and everyone focused in. rob: both of them together. you almost didn't notice william barr. what else comes from the report? >> a lot of folks were joking how much was going to be read acted. look at this meme from a physicist, that is what i call a sharp image of a black hole. another person posted this meme
2:25 am
that showed the lyrics to never going to give you up. a lot of funny stuff. most of it was unreadable so you can read almost the whole thing. jillian: only 36 pages were read acted. rob: we get the just. thanks so much. 24 minutes after the hour. democrats circling the wagons vowing to get to the truth by calling on special counsel robert mueller to testify before congress. >> the intelligence committee has requested that mueller come and testify. i anticipate mueller will testify in the next couple weeks. jillian: our next guest says mueller's 400 page report is enough and this is gone too far, we are coming right back. ♪ the lexus es.

>> the special counsel confirmed that the russian government
2:29 am
sponsored efforts to illegally interfere in the 2016 presidential election but did not find that the trump campaign or other americans colluded in those efforts. rob: bar's words and actions suggest he was disingenuous and misleading. rob: attorney general william barr delivering the long-awaited mueller report. jillian: democrats unsatisfied despite no collusion or instruction charges and demanding more investigations. rob: complete coverage and analysis, kevin coffee is here but we begin with griff jenkins live with the latest. >> reporter: 22 months, 500 witnesses interviewed, special counsel mueller as reporter first the president's claim that there was no collusion with russia. let me take you to the text. the administration identified leaks between individuals with ties to the russian government and the trump campaign, the evidence was not sufficient to
2:30 am
support criminal charges. in volume 2 of the report mueller does not entirely clear the president, trying no conclusions on the question of obstruction of justice, raising 10 instances where the president's actions are questions. and when case allegations that the president urged don mcgann to fire mueller but mcgann refused. mueller saying evidence was not enough for recommending charges. based on the facts we are unable to reset judgment. accordingly this report does not conclude the president committed a crime, it does not exonerate him. democrats are jumping on that calling for more investigations and for mueller to appear on the hill but this news is not lost on white house counsel kellyanne conway. >> we accepting apologies for anyone feels the grace and offering them. there was no collusion and no criminal conspiracy with any russians.
2:31 am
>> reporter: the question is, quote, what will democrats do? will we see democrats pushing for impeachment? that remains to be seen. rob: as the trump administration claims victory, some unsatisfied democrats are calling for impeachment. >> hold the president accountable. does that mean impeachment? >> that is one possibility, there are others. we have to get to the bottom of what happened and take whatever action seems necessary. jillian: how green hasn't changed his tune since his impeachment speech on the house for in 2017. >> i call for the impeachment of the president of the united states of america. mister mueller has done his job. i repeat for emphasis he has done his job. it is now time for congress to do its job.
2:32 am
rob: congresswoman alexandria ocasio cortez tweeting, the reports grilli puts this on our doorstep. >> democrats reading from a report for themselves. collusion obstruction charges, they are demanding more. >> the intelligence committee has requested mueller testify. we want to understand exactly what was found. >> he should come before our committees and testify. >> mister mueller will testify in the next couple weeks. rob: should bob mueller who has been silent from the beginning, be required to testify? here discuss, kendall coffey, thank you for coming back to fox news. do we need him to testify after this reporter do they just want a venue to talk trash about the president on national tv? >> there is no need for robert mueller to come in and explain
2:33 am
what he has explained in incredible detail. it provides specifics. and compared to many documents with respect to the obstruction area. he has done his job, no reason to call him in and criticize him, make a political show out of whether or not this honorable prosecutor who was universally praised by democrats, to somehow be put under the microscope and subject to cross-examination on his own work and i don't think it is a good precedent to call in prosecutors every time congress members or legislators disagree with an important controversial charging decision. jillian: what would be the harm in having him testify if people in the public want to hear from him? some people have questions after this especially when it comes to
2:34 am
obstruction. >> not a crazy amount of harm in the sense the attorney general said it is okay. he will come in and answer the questions appropriately but the disruption keeps going. i don't think that is help for the for the country. it certainly is going to be a waste of time and it adds more politicization to a process that people around the country are increasingly coming to question. do we have faith in the integrity of our investigative process? if the answer is after all this a lot of members of the public have less confidence and putting mueller through a politicized spectacle will contribute further to undermine public confidence. rob: let's go to william barr and read a tweet from nancy pelosi, the trump administration spinning the public's view of the mueller report, acknowledging the trump team received a sneak preview, more urgent than ever that special counsel mueller testify before
2:35 am
congress. if anything about what william barr had been saying regarding this report for the last few weeks until yesterday were a problem mueller would probably have said something. >> the report speaks for itself, doesn't it? is there anything in the report that contradicts what ag barr said? rob: a lot of people would view that on obstruction. may be he was ostensibly too soft on the president and then you read the report. >> not at all, the report raises a lot of issues but doesn't reach a conclusion either way. deputy attorney general rodriguez and stein, not a giant fan of trump, confirmed by republicans and democrats, presidents and senators. he concluded the same as william barr did, these don't constitute the crime of obstruction why? you don't have trump tampering with witnesses and don't have trump manipulating or fabricating documents. those are traditional elements of obstruction. they are not here.
2:36 am
from my standpoint there was never credit the case of obstruction and with this report and these findings it should be the end of it. jillian: i brought up rod rosenstein and to your point i don't think people are talking about the significance of him enough right now. you look at the fact that he was there from the beginning, not necessarily expand -- a fan of the president and he was there yesterday, standing there as william barr said everything he could say about no collusion and charges of obstruction. that is significant, isn't it? >> the deputy attorney general was overseeing the investigation from day one. if there is anybody in the country whose verdict on this should be trusted it is rosenstein. if people disagree with his conclusion they are questioning him too. with william barr, rosenstein, both conferring there is no obstruction the country should be in a position now to move forward on to other things. rob: when you see this list of
2:37 am
10 cases they talk about could have been obstruction, the fact that mueller just basically punted this to build bar to make a legal determination and over to congress for a political one you don't think that was an appropriate move? >> i do. there was some discussion in the mueller team and different views on it, they thoroughly investigated all the facts but they could not find there was a criminal case of obstruction and kenneth starr issued a report that said there was joint credible information showing bill clinton lied, he had specific findings to get to impeachment proceedings, you don't have that here. jillian: thanks for joining us. rob: 37 after the hour. we know for sure that russia did interfere in the 2016 election. jillian: where was president obama, why didn't he warn the trump campaign? donald trump sound off on that.

see this collusion with russia and it never materialized. this is a presidency that is unfairly maligned and boxed into a corner and now fighting out of the corner, because it was imperfect in that process we are supposed to condemn them. it is ridiculous at this point. jillian: from the president's inauguration to the day it was sent, the network spent 2000 minutes on the russia probe. we have that. here's our corporate cousin. >> no crimes committed, damn hoax destroyed. rob: talking about collusion in new york daily news, one of the most anti-trump papers ever, trump's to a attorney general models findings on obstruction, collusion as democrats vowed to subpoena, lobar. this is what we expected. jillian: the new york times says

2:51 am
talk about why there's a lot of frustration, for this report and how it is released. >> the frustration comes from the pre-bottle which we had before several weeks ago and the press conference before the release of the report to spin what happened in the report. rob: what do you think got spun that wasn't true? >> when bar is saying the president is so frustrating and that is why he made inaccurate statements, that is spin. the attorney general of the united states of america acting as the president's personal attorney and personal spokesperson. put the facts on the table and let the american people decide for themselves. that is why we have to have mueller in front of congress and understand what went into the determination. rob: you could argue mueller thought the president in fighting back against something
2:52 am
he didn't do was angry and that is where the obstruction or perceived obstruction came from. >> i understand the truth hurts. the truth hurts for democrats because complete exoneration on collusion and obstruction, not something democrats want to hear. crazy to me that now that the president of the united states duly elected by the american people has been cleared, something not even democrats can celebrate and move on from. it should be a bipartisan day of complete celebration that $35 million in taxpayer money, no longer going to be wasted, we can all move forward and legislate into infrastructure and prescription drugs but democrats are not interested in legislating, only investigating and they will continue down that route. rob: you have a list of things mueller points out that look like obstruction but didn't reach the bar of charging. during the hillary clinton investigation james comey that a
2:53 am
number of members of the team destroyed actual devices they had been using after she deleted 30,000 emails. that didn't reach the bar of obstruction. do you think the president of the united states has reached the bar? >> two points on that. let's all agree james comey was a terrible fbi director, they should've fired him before. secondarily on that point remember when we talked about the president he should be held to a higher bar, to a higher standard than regular everyday american citizen. she was the president of the united states and we should expect more from our leadership in america, should expect more from individuals who have the nuclear codes in their hands, when they say something they are telling the truth, not telling their way to the line of criminality of not crossing over. rob: this report does paint the president in a negative light. it is not a pretty report in a lot of ways.
2:54 am
>> anyone who is completely innocent will do everything they can, i don't blame the president for anything in that report. he was an innocent man being charged in a partisan investigation. you make point about hillary clinton, you have sledgehammers to her devices and jim comey exonerates her based on intend, here we know from robert mueller the president never had any corrupt intend but that doesn't matter. it matters for hillary, it matters for the president. rob: it is a partisan thing like everything else. did anything change as we go into 2020? like the same stuff. >> the issue is we only listen to 5 or 10 voices on the far left and 5 or 10 voices on the far right. the 90% in the middle, this is not an issue that moves the needle for most americans. go to the grocery store or the barbershop, no one is talking
2:55 am
