propaganda, the misinformation. we will need b of part of the media mob. where going to hold them accountable. we will have the president tomorrow night to. >> this is one of those. >> the dog's name was snowball. snowball was my first dog ever. i cried when she died. >> iodide when troy died. we were commiserating with each other. you're big mma fighter and type of guy now, and imagining you with a little puff ball dog, that is just the funniest thing ever. now you have a big dog and that fits your mma image that's all i'm saying, hannity. please forgive me. you know i'm an animal person. >> you are making fun of my

first dog. my parents had no dogs in the house. >> it was a teacup cotton ball dog. it doesn't fit. >> now i have a burmese mountain . good luck with the president tomorrow. we are from washington tonight jampacked show, everything you need to know about this sad sad showing on capitol hill by bob mueller. chris hawn, ari fleischer, and we even have a body language breakdown on mueller. an expert who worked closely with him for years. you're not going to believe wha he has to say about today's testimony. first, trump beats the elite again. that is the focus of tonight's angle. when he was appointed special counsel, robert mueller was described by the political and

media elite as a brilliant choice. can get there is no more respected figure in american la enforcement than bob mueller. he's got a reputation for no nonsense. >> he is a pro, you will follow the facts where they lead. >> this is big stuff and muelle is the guy to do it. >> this is going to be resolved by one man sitting quietly at his desk named robert mueller. >> bob mueller completed anothe tour of duty. >> at the time i might've been the only one not buying it. >> i am sick of hearing what a great prosecutor bob mueller is. they should stand up and say let's see where this goes. >> i should have bought motto tickets that day. where did this all go? we found out today that when we saw a man who we thought was going to be well-prepared wasn't . >> i don't have it in front of

me. i take your word. i'm not certain of the person who originally copied that quote . i don't know that for sure. i can't answer that question without knowing more about that question. >> a man who wasn't well-versed in the details of the investigation. >> i would like to ask you the reason again that you did not indict donald trump is because of opinion seen you could not indict a sitting president, is that correct? >>laura: man who had to come back after breaking correct tha answer. >> and want to go back to one thing that was said this morning . you said you didn't charge the presidents because of the olc opinion. that is not the correct way to say it you did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime. >>laura: that was just a small part of it. after all of that, the same

media establishment who lauded moeller from the start, it was reduced to admitting this about today's proceedings. >> it was a televised disaster. >> i thought it really was a very ineffective. >> the democrats have to be disappointed. >> it certainly seems like donald trump is winning. >> finally some honesty. if anybody can have a bad day, i'm a lawyer too, i was involve in a lot of white color investigations. you don't always hit home runs. but this was a day full of swings and misses. an investigation that was in search of a crime from the very beginning. anybody, but rank partisans would come to the same conclusion at this point. if mueller was the consummate pro everybody said he was, he would've used today to apologiz

to the american people and this president for what ultimately was a travesty. we will never know the full extent of how much this has hobbled the presidency of donal trump. i have to say this, even with this albatross around his neck, the president has once again beaten the elites at their own game. he delivered economic success that is the envy of the world. better try harder next time, guys. that is the angle. joining me now are two people who worked on the independent counsel of ken starr and saul weisberg. joining me is kevin braga to assistant fbi director for intelligence by mueller and caucus chair mark meadows. can come ken, what was mueller biggest screwup today? >> total lack of preparation or at least the inability for

whatever reason to communicate, to show a masterly or mastery o basic knowledge of the report. i was stunned and then i was shocked by bob's inability to focus, to show that he understood the questions, the constant pleas workweek the question. sometimes you do that as a witness to stall and gather you thoughts, but it seemed to be genuine. what was that question? he was in a state of befuddlement which became my thinking embarrassing. i would say early on i was so glad to see that the issue of exoneration and the idea of a prosecutor taking it on himself for now we know the team taking it on them seems, taking it on themselves to say this report does not exonerate the president . we have been saying this for several months now.

totally inappropriate, totally improper, and now we know that it's much more likely something that bob mueller did not in his judgment come to. it was the judgment of the mueller team. >>laura: mark meadows, i'm going to go deal. we are going to move to this because he was asked about who appointed him at this hearing. for those of you who missed this , watch. >> which president appointed yo to become the united states attorney for massachusetts? >> which senator? >> which president? >> i think that was president bush. >> according to my notes it was president ronald reagan. >>laura: the president has bee through, his family has been through. they have had to go through all

this testimony they were vilified, and everybody build him up to be this guy, we cut m soundbite now, but he walked o water. i didn't buy it from the beginning. any times the elite old someone up to this demigod status come out my antenna always goes up. this was a shame from the beginning. he was not with it. and he is running this investigation that could affect u.s. politics? >> i was there next to bob mueller for the entire judiciar meeting and it was obvious that he was not prayer it. and he didn't have a grasp of. >>laura: the basic facts of this investigation. the whole panel knows more abou this investigation then bob mueller does. >> that was meant to be a softball question by a democrat and it was a swing and a miss. it was just a sad day. >>laura: you worked with him, you know him, i assume you thin

he is a man of great integrity. your view? >> i do. i got a lot of text messages an tweets from colleagues and the operative word today seems to b painful. it's not the bob mueller that w remember. we lose a little bit of verbal dexterity over the years, but i think his basic unfamiliarity with the report itself, having to pull in his deputy for backu commit does not inspire confidence and his answers toda did not inspire confidence that he was a man in control. >> the deputy seemed like caretakers. this is the u.s. presidency involved. we were led to believe that thi was going to be the best of the best, the fairest of the fairest , and it wasn't. saul, you have been a big defender of mueller from the beginning. you never worked with him, but after today, your thoughts. >> i've been a big defender of his integrity from the beginnin and i'm still a defender of his integrity.

i'm not going to kick him when he's down. like kevin, i got text messages from people out of the blue, people i haven't talked to, nex fbi in years that said literall this is not the bob mueller tha i knew. something is wrong. i don't know when that started, but i know to me that failure today is a failure of the democrats. this man said the report speaks for itself. i don't want to say anything beyond what's on in the reports. i think he could have been much sharper than he was today he still would not have given them what they want to hear. when you do not give them what they want to hear, they destroy you as they've been doing all day and they are doing tonight because the ruthless. >>laura: i have a piece of advice i end offered on twitter today i held my fire until the end of the testimony, but mine was committee, when you want a big hearing, and a lawyer that you're going to call really doesn't want to testify, you think is going to make your

point, don't bring him to testify. he said he didn't want to testify. i think maybe he knew he didn't know the underlying facts. we are going to get to some of these facts like this deal dossier in a moment. he said he didn't want to testify and barr said in that letter, stick to the report. he wandered off a few times whe he wanted to end the democrats asked him some questions. the republicans we're shut down not going to answer that question, but he never wanted to do this testimony. >> from what we know, this was just an enormous misjudgment because now that we look back i hindsight, we now see some of the warning signs. his press conference where he said no questions. i think it's fundamental to democratic society that people who hold power as he did at tha time, have to be responsive not just of the congress of the united states, but to the media.

prosecutors have to be careful about what they say, but he had issued his report so it was tim to answer questions including the questions being raised abou the integrity not about mueller but about his team and especially the political leanings. all of that had been in the public domain, but he had neve responded to these i think very reasonable and in fact powerful questions. he said i'm not going to respon so i think that was a. >>laura: congressman, i want t play the exchange about the steel dossier pair this is what they got the investigation going . for everybody who lived under a rock that was this dossier compiled lists opposing sources the highest levels of the russian government all a bunch of phony baloney stuff paid for ultimately by the clinton campaign. this was the exchange about thi deal dossier. >> when did you become aware that the unverified steel dossier was intended was

included in the application to spy on carter page? >> i'm not going to speak to that. >> your team interviewed becaus christopher steele, correct? >> you can't tell this committe as to whether or not you interviewed christopher steele in an investigation with 18 lawyers? >> that is one of the investigations that is being handled by others in the department of justice. >> it was really that moment an one moment before when he said he didn't know what fusion gps is all about. when you look at both of those, you've been covering this. obviously it's not just you that's been covering it, it's been all over for two years. adam schiff has talked about it devin nunes has talked about it and here we are with bob muelle not being able to answer basic questions about this entire investigation. you hit an earlier . here. the democrats forced bob muelle

to do this. it was first they wanted to wai for the mueller report, then they wanted him to come back an they wanted him to do a press conference and then they wanted him to show up. three times they have struck out . they're going to get they need to stop while they're behind. right now they are so behind, they need to just stop,. >>laura: they don't care about what's good for the country. this is what andrea mitchell said about the line of inquiry about the steel dossier. >> it is shameful. shameful that republicans are s focused on trying to undermine the origins of the investigatio that they did not deal with the facts that has been concluded b all of the intelligence agencie under obama and of course professionals. >> this is the gaping hole in

the whole investigation. bob mueller was handed a mandat to do a counterintelligence investigation he ran off and di a criminal investigation ignoring a lot of the basic counterintelligence questions that should have been asked in one of them surrounds the whole issue of the dossier in the russian involvement in that in their efforts to that manipulat the presidential election. >> we learn today just how much the mueller investigation was impacted by this so-called obstruction that they claimed that never actually happened. spoiler alert, it wasn't effective at all. >> we never fired as special counsel, mr. mueller. were you allowed to complete your investigation unencumbered? >> es. >> in fact, he resigned as special counsel when you closed up the office in late may of 2019, is that correct? >> correct. to give the congresswoman did this in like three questions.

was it impeded, wasn't fired, finish the investigation. sometime i'm critical of the republicans cross-examination technique i think they bring in real pros like you to do the investigation, but she was fantastic. >> she was great but everybody should have taken a crack. in skilled cross examiner havin been when yourself would roll i out and asked 20 questions. you were allowed to talk to the white house counsel on multiple occasions. you were allowed to see extensive notes involving conversations between don mc gann and the president. you were allowed to question anybody wanted to over exner number of people. did anyone ever claim executive pleura village. you could have is 50 or 60 questions like that. the answer would have brought out nobody ever kept us from questioning anybody except for the president himself which everybody knows about that issue

. i would have liked to have seen that. >>laura: excellent point. there was another . we were talking about before their show which is we had all these democrat players who any of our law practices when we take a case you do a conflict check. it's a pain in the neck, did yo ever meet this person, do you know anyone. the conflict checks are laborious in allowed form. this is a mini law form, really important the special counsel's office. you don't want any appearance o conflict let alone actual conflicts. this is a line of questioning about jeannie reed et cetera. >> attended the hillary clinton's election night party. were you aware that ms. jeannie reed represented hillary clinto in litigation regarding persona e-mails originating as her time as secretary of state.

>> has s. >> when did you first learn about the animus towards donald trump. >> in the summer of 2017. >> you didn't know before he wa hired? >> i did not know before that. >> i would like the whole panel to weigh in on this. what you do for a basic conflic or appearance of conflict of checks and for an operation as important to the u.s. governmen constitution. frankly the world is this team was? >> you do your due diligence. you. you ask the key questions. so is there anything as when you're being considered for an executive branch approached appointment or confirmation hearings, is there anything tha could be embarrassing to the president of the united states? i think bob or whoever was doin it, should have said i need to know. i'm not asking you anything about your politics. but i need to know, is there

anything by that definition of politically charged investigation, about your background, what you've done that could prove embarrassing t the investigation in terms of the appearance of impartiality? that is so important. my word, given the group of people he had around him. of course he must must've known about andrew wiseman's reputation professionally which he continues to stand firm on. he should have asked those toug questions. >>laura: mark meadows, this is big. did anybody do a conflict check? who did the conflict check or the appearance or anything. >> the president of the united states did. he's been talking about this fo two years about the conflict. when we look at this, just the basic items and credibility. when you look at what bob mueller said today. you say gosh, you want to have fair and impartial group of prosecutors. >> that's why building him up

from the beginning is the demigod, no one would question him because this is bob mueller paid you can't question him. he wasn't questioning wiseman o whoever was doing it. he delegated it. was he more of a figurehead in this investigation? after you saw this performance today was he the figurehead? he came into the office every day, he might have done something, but he did not know anything. >> whether he was or he wasn't, that's what he projected today. it's unfortunate because he's a much more capable person than that. this is the achilles' heel of the investigation. the perception was frontloaded with democrats. he wasn't able to get around that. >> today on the podcast you whe i talked about this, but the political morning console shows that even more democrats now from april through today are saying that this investigation was not handled fairly.

that percentage has gone up 15 percentage points. even among democrats, the distrust is growing. this is not going in a good direction for the democrats given the time, effort, and promises. most people are saying let's ge going, let's wrap this up at. >> i think most americans have sense of what happened here. number one the conclusions conspiracies let coordination whatever you want to call it, the president is totally exonerated and that. the obstruction front he overreacted he did some things that we're not lies that we're disturbing, that he shouldn't have done, but there is probabl not an obstruction case here an if there was, he is the president and we can't end item so let's move on. i think in some kind of since most americans think that way.

you not going to move the ball any further. a page of history is worth a volume of logic. the fact is that this isn't watergate, but number to the republicans control the house and the first two years of trump 's presidency and that means the democrats were not able to start issuing subpoenas into start building up the type of investigation that happened in watergate. that's just reality, that's jus politics. >>laura: nancy blows he reacte today into this. let's watch. >> i do believe that what we sa today was a very strong straw manifestation some would even say indictment of this administration's cone of silenc and their cover-up. this is about our to protect an defend the constitution.

>>laura: she's using the word indictment. they are not letting this go. the language is 42020. this is all setting the table for 2020. >> it always was. at 2020 hearing it had no basis in trying to get to the underlying crime which i believ is how this whole investigation started. >> this cannot happen to anothe president. it cannot be done. panel, thank you very much for being here tonight. the trump administration declared victory tonight after the hearing and the president had this to say before heading to a fundraiser in west virginia

. >> this was a very big day for the republican party and you could say it was a great day fo me this whole thing has been three years of embarrassment an waste of time for our country. you know what? the democrats thought they coul win an election like this. i think they hurt themselves very badly for 2020. >> kristen fisher is life at th white house with more on the administration's response. >> president trump is claiming total victory after today's hearings. right after they were over he took questions from reporters a he was leaving the white house and he said this was a devastating day for democrats. >> the democrats lost so big today, their party is in shambles right now. the democrats had nothing. now they have less than nothing. i think they are going to lose their 2020 election very big including congressional seats because of the path that they chose. >> as for robert mueller performance, president trump wa not impressed. >> i think robert mueller did a horrible job both today and wit respect to the investigation. in all fairness to robert mueller, he had nothing to work

with. you can be a builder, but if they don't give you the right materials they're not going to build a very good building. >> both of those comments were echoed by almost everyone in hi orbit from the new white house press secretary to call today and epic embarrassment for democrats to his campaign manager who put out a statement saying this entire spectacle ha been about the democrats trying to undo the legitimate result o the 2016 election and today the again failed miserably. heading into today's hearing, a new poll found that only 8 percent of the people polled said there was a strong chance that mueller testimony would change their mind about president trump. 29 percent said there we're no chance been since and since there we're no major resolution it is unlikely that many mines we're changed, so no doubt that some democrats will continue to try to push for impeachment but for president trump, this is

case closed, total victory, he says it's over. >> mueller had a bad day. on that i think even his bigges fans would agree it wasn't just their frailty with which he delivered his responses, but also the revelations that he wa as i said earlier, nothing more than a figurehead. >> how many of the approximatel 500 interviews did you attend personally? >> quite a few. >> who wrote the nine minute comments you read at your may 29 th press conference? >> i'm not going to get into that. >> the name of the firms that firm that produce that is fusio gps, is that correct? >> i'm not familiar with that. >> trey doughty audi summed it up best. his complete detachment from th report that caused tens of millions of dollars bearing his name.

i say that sadly. he was not engaged, he didn't interview the witnesses he clearly didn't write the report which means those under him did. >>laura: joining me now is senior analyst at the institute we've mulled this over a lot tonight, but the partisan team he assembled, underlying specificity of the events seem to just go right over his head. your thoughts after watching this and the demoralized democrats. at least the ones who are all over cable television tonight. >> i think some of those had watched the watergate, he ran contrite and clinton impeachmen hearings. they've never seen anything lik this. robert mueller was confused int bolivia's. it sort of confirm the narrativ that he was a figurehead that was used by a partisan group

that had hijacked his conservative name. what we were left with is that donald trump railed occasionall he rinse, maybe he even swears to his aides, but he didn't eve order or didn't ever succeed in impeding in investigation. he didn't produce documents. he didn't fire anybody. in the end, the democrats and the committee were talking abou a thought time. it's not that's not an american jurisprudence conviction we don't convict people for thinking things and that's what the democrats were trying to say . no evidence he did anything wrong, but he had these bad thoughts. that's not going to fly. we have got a different type of caliber, a different caliber of attorney general or prosecutors coming up. we have william barr and michae horwitz and i think they're going to be a little bit more informed than robert mueller,

but more importantly they're going to have a real topic to discuss or there is real collusion there. what were talking about what created robert mueller was the effort of hillary clinton to three firewalls, the d&c perkin going and gps to hire a foreign national to hire other foreign nationals to work the u.s. election. that is what it's all about. there was never anything else. this was all a front or an effort of a group of lawyers that we're partisan to use robert mueller to shy away from this reality. this reality in the next 14 months is going to come drip, drip, drip, and the investigators will be investigated and the optics wil be reversed. i think that explains this year terror on the look of the democrats for they couldn't believe robert mueller. >>laura: any type of sedative or antidepressants, pharmaceutical companies we're

smiling today. i have to ask you a question that i raised earlier, victor about this build up of people. you and i have talked about thi before. the elites protect each other, so being in elite means never having to say you're sorry when you're wrong. if you're a part of the republican establishment you don't have to apologize for it if you're greenspan and you pus wto in china and missed the housing bubble you never have t apologize. and if you are the people who built up bob mueller as a demigod coming you don't have t apologize. we were all supposed to set bac and say whatever he says, we will hold dear. but he has outsmarted the elite at every turn. >> he has. american tradition you're only as good as you're last day of work. bob mueller reputation was not proved by any reality. anything he said to the public or any meetings he had with the

trump legal team who were supposedly not as educated and not is ivy league as the green team, the all-stars in the process we were told. and actual performance and barometers of effectiveness, th trump team outfox them. they were better lawyers. so you're right, bob mueller reputation was supposed to do two things. it was supposed to put in legitimacy on something that wa illegitimate and it was suppose to make a partisan progressive project look like it was conservative bob mueller, just to finish, he reminded me in a tragic way of the lord of the ring figure who is befuddled, he's a king, but he has no ide where he is. he wasn't like james comey who went into the house intelligenc committee on 250 occasions and said he didn't know or couldn't remember. robert mueller really couldn't remember. he didn't know. >> laura: you look at bob barr

bill barr excuse me, you look a bob white has a lighthouse, these are people with real skil and have results to back it up. the elites in the establishment have screwed up more things for this country and trump has proven this once again for her to victor, thank you so much. up next, did today's events killed the kill the left's drea of impeachment? we have reaction next. all money managers might seem the same, but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell. fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees

are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.

has been excellent.

they really appreciate the military family and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa" we're the webber family. we're the tenney's we're the hayles, and we're usaa members for life. ♪ get your usaa auto insurance quote today. >> laura: mueller testimony such a massive disaster that even the most hardened liberal resistance members couldn't help , but tweet their heartbreak. just like hollywood and the democrats did their dramatic readings of the mueller report remember that? we will do the same with their sad sad sad tweets. disgraced and he trump law

professor wrote far from breathing life into his report, they're tired robert mueller sucked the life out of it. former obama chief strategist adding this is very very painful . former cbs anchor dan rather tweeting to think that robert mueller should be the main acto in the drama was always misplaced casting. and finally, filmmaker michael moore a frail little old man unable to remember things refusing to answer basic questions. the disappointment continued from twitter to television we'r even though mainstream media ha to admit their dreams of covering and impeachment are likely dead. >> house judiciary committee democrats believe they should start impeachment. >> he didn't do anything to hel advance that because. >> i don't think nancy blows he is going to stand for her

numbers to bring forward something that loses the senate american public. >> here to react, chris hom and fox news contributor did menchi know. and former white house press secretary ari fleischer. dan, let's start with you. while some of these media types are seeing the light, this isn' really the end of impeachment obsession, is it? >> no, it won't. but i say i implore the liberal in the media out there. i mean it, have some dignity, man. move on. you have been utterly, completely, cosmically apocalyptic leak humiliated today in a fashion so embarrassing that this will resonate well beyond the 24 hou news cycle weeks from now. what meek point out a couple of things. how does bob muller not know wh fusion gps is?

i don't even want to pile on bo mueller right now. he was the head of this, but it . >> for two years i have decimated his dishonorable investigation. but today he piled on himself. how do you not know fusion? can he get his olc story straight? this is the 15th different version of the guidelines pray does he even know what the guidelines are? wet me point out one thing a lo of mainstream media folks missed . democrats line all week has bee everybody is equal under the la even the president of the unite states. it was bob mueller question as to why the president was held t a standard that no one other american citizen has ever been held to.

get your story straight, i thought everybody was equal. >> laura: he was pressed on that about the guidelines of th justice department and he had t say, and the question or i thin it was radcliffe was talking fast and kind of talked over him , but the headline tonight, or it was a quote, house judiciary chair pushed to launc impeachment proceedings against trump during a closed-door meeting wednesday to only be rebuffed by a speaker blows he. according to four sources familiar with the discussion. >> it was a mixed bag. him not going to say it was a slamdunk for anybody today. but let's be clear, let's be clear, mueller did talk about

how the russians interfered wit our elections and there we're several members of the trump campaign even may be the president himself was compromised by the russians due to their financial dealings. i think that is something that the congress has a responsibility to investigate whether it's been impeachment hearing or some other inquiry. that needs to be looked at and they need to take up our security and our elections for being interfered with anybody else. he was much more concerned abou the security aspect of the briefing then the obstruction aspect. i think that we would all agree. >> laura: he was asked about the counter intelligence investigation and criminal investigation he said he was a criminal investigation. he couldn't answer basic questions that a first-year associate working on a case lik this would have to answer. if you are a first or second year associate at the firm i used to work at and you perform

that way, you would be out. if you were a partner the confrontation would be had afte this. >> i know what you're talking about. >> laura: , but perfume on a pile of don't and it still smells like don't. this performance today by mueller, i was stunned at how bad it was. >> the problem with elections that republicans don't want to address. i want to know why. >> that could have been handled by line prosecutors at the justice department. what they showed us to date today was that professional career prosecutors could have easily handled this and probabl an eighth of the cost and a lot less tome tombo for the country. >> absolutely right, laura. this is only mixed bag if you watch this with a bag over your head and didn't watch it unfold

before your eyes. this has been a crushing summer for the conspiracy theorist tha believe donald trump is a criminal. the mueller report said right out there was no collusion. the principal thing that president trump did wrong, now you have today they thought it would elevate impeachment and make it inevitable, that is gone . it's not going to happen. you make a valid point heat the justice department was attorney general sessions recused. they made a chance to appoint a special counsel. they never should have taken that step. there was no grounds to take that step. they took it because in washington that's the easiest way to get people off your back appoint an independent special counsel. liquid that has done. it has set american against american. all adding up to damaging our nation and make vladimir putin laugh at us. putin is the winner here.

that's what we have to keep in mind. >> it goes back to staffing decisions early on in this administration. jeff sessions, who i have enormous respect for as a perso and senator, it was the wrong choice for attorney general. the deputy was the wrong choice. they're were so many great people. we've seen them appointed now i the white house. they never would have wilted an appointed as special counsel. it never would have happened, but that's exactly what happened . chuck todd, have to get to this parade he thinks he's figured out the democrats problem. it's not with the wasted pointless investigation, it is this. >> the fact is were living in this 21st century of new type of asymmetrical that we're in. a propaganda machine is what it is it's a full-fledged propaganda machine on the right that the democrats haven't figured out how to combat very well. >> laura: they have the universities, they have hollywood, they have a lot of

the churches, they have the house, and they have avery majo network other than fox and they can't defeat fox. what? >> it is hilarious. chris was hilarious, mixed bag, that is a good one. your attempt at comedy is going great tonight. i feel like reliving in a seinfeld episode where george does everything backwards. are they are serious? do you understand that we been subjected to competent rumors o conspiracy theories by chuck, todd, chris, and others about collusion that never had happened in their sighting is for propaganda. well, bob mueller should have investigated the russians. nunez nailed mueller to the wal tonight. did you investigate the fact that his two-sided primary sources for his document we're to russian disinformation specialist. he doesn't want to investigate russian collusion he wants to

investigate trump russian collusion not the real collusion . >> why don't we all agree, dan, that we can have significant security around our election they are being presented to the that would do just that and mak collusion illegal. they don't want to because they know why. >> that could've been could hav been done with a simple investigation with people who aren't conflicted by their bias in their hatred of the president , correct? >> that's my point. in made that point earlier, you did not need an independent counsel. >> laura: next up, this is going to be fun are body language expert is here to brea down mueller testimony. my goodness. what will she find? stay there. aisle in stores everywhere. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

when didwhen i needed ton? jumpstart sales. build attendance for an event. help people find their way. fastsigns designed new directional signage. ...and got them back on track. get started at fastsigns.com. as a doctor, i agree with cdc guidance. i recommend topical pain relievers first... like salonpas patch large. it's powerful, fda-approved to relieve moderate pain, yet non-addictive and gentle on the body. salonpas. it's good medicine. hisamitsu.

>> we have heard a lot about what bob mueller did or didn't say on the hill today, but wha can we learn from his body language? here with me to analyze body language expert tonya ryman. let's begin with his hands during his testimony. you say he was fidgeting a lot and had almost am kind of nervous tic with his been. >> what winds up happening is

he's doing two things, doodling helps you to process it helps your mind work. this get your ideas together a little bit easier in addition t that a lot of times when you se him just using his hands that i called displacement. when someone does that as they're getting rid of their excess energy. >> that sounds like you're doin an adhd analysis. they're he is, he's kind of doodling. that's what a lot of kids with adhd due to thing, they fidget. they do anything just to get ri of that excess energy. he didn't seem to have too much excess energy. >> , take a look at this throughout the hearing, mueller can be seen sitting with his hands folded and his fingers

intertwined. >> when you see somebody doing that, what you noticed was this video, he holds his hands tight he holds his fingers together and then his tongue juts out so that is two things you can say. when you keep your hands like this you are showing restraint and then when you stick your tongue out, what you're doing i you're saying to someone, i don't like what's coming out, i'm unhappy with this so hands restrained, he is holding i contact and then you see the je and you realize this is a man trying to hold things back. >> i didn't even notice the tongue juts. >> you have to look for it. >> laura: i just saw it. he was also repeatedly ask to speak into the mic. watch. >> could you speak more directl into the microphone, please,? >> s. >> 's please speak into the microphone.

>> laura: he has testified 89 times or so on capitol hill, so with his reluctance to get clos to the mic suggest lack of confidence? >> no, what he is trying to do is he with the other person is telling him. you have to realize this is something he didn't want to do. he's very distracted, you still get the same so you know it's

still robert sp 1 inch is not enthusiastic robert mueller. >> a lot of people were tweetin about his mouth being a agape often. what does that reveal? >> sometimes that means we are feeling nervous but in addition to that if you watch in this clip, you see him shift his job. when you see somebody shift their job like this, that is an indication of disagreement. disagreement, uncertainty, frustration. what we have to do is look at all these things in context because you never want to make an assumption based on one movement. when you see these things together, you realize this is somebody that is frustrated. >> overall would it be a man wh wanted to be there? >> no, he did not want to be there. that was it thank you so much. the tongue juts, i had not seen that before. up next we are moving on from mueller to big updates we've been following here on "the ingraham angle." this is a big one. nypd makes an arrest in that file attack on police officers just trying to do their job, an the erika thomas story totally falls apart. stay there. and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call
