>> we would have said so. >> reporter: mueller and his team said from the beginning they would follow justice policy. >> charging the president with a crime was therefore not an option we cld consider. >> reporter: those same guidelines according to mueller says a president can be impeached by congress thoughdi 't use that word. >> the opinion says that the constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrong doing. >> reporter: mueller stressed the gravity of the political system in 2016. >> the releases were timed to interfere with our election. >> reporter: on the involvement with the russians, attorney general bill barr said this last nth. >> a special counsel's report did not find any evidence that members of the trump campaign or anyone associated with the campaign conspired or

coordinated with the russian government. >> there was insufficient evidence to charge a broader conspiracy >> reporter: president trump's arguing nothing's changed tweeting, there was insufficient eviden and therefore in our country a person is innocent. the case is closed. the white house says it's bracing for the possibility of impeachment. >> we're always prepared, but i don't think the american people deserve that. >> reporter: if it happens, it would begin in a housery judicia committee run by jerry llnadler. >> a options are on the table and nothing should be ruled out. >> reporter: several 2020 candidates already seizing o mueller's remarks. former vice president joe biden for the first time saying impeachment may be unavoidable continuesministration on its path. >> it is our constitutional responsibility as members of congress to bring a judgment ofm achment against this president. >> reporter: for his part, robert mueller made clear he has no intention of testifying

before congress saying his report is his testimony. the immediate question now facing house democrats will they subpoena mueller to testify? >> all right. peter alexander starting us off, thank you. >> let's pick it up there. what are the next moves for democrats? kasie hunt has been talking to her sources on capitol what are they telling you? >> reporter: craig, gmorning to you. really all eyes on nancy pelosi. and the pressure is really building on her to launch impeachment proceedings against president trump. there are already at least 40 democr ts who sayt they are open to launching these proceedings. and robert mueller seems to bet pretty direcn saying it was congress who needed to take action. but so far nancy pelosi is rely holding theline. she says that she wants an ironclad case against the president and privately man m moreerate members of her caucus, they're still worried that launching an impeachment inquiryould hand re-election

in 2020. could potentially lose democrats the house as well. now, that said, the members who are thinking about changing their minds, the ones who have been reluctant to support an impeachment inquiry, some are thinking about history and how amentrandildrtreat this mo a gt out how they decided to act? >> kasie hunt on capitol hill for us, thank you.hu >> c todd joins us now. our moderator of "meet the press." what are the politics of this? people look at past impeachments. they see how that played out in the polls. what is nancy pelosi's viewpoint here? what is she tnking out? >> she is clearly representing ajwhat is a mority of her conference. and i think that's important there. if a majority of democrats wanted to start impeachment, would -- i think she'd already be there. look, i equate this,, savannah the last time we've seen democrats at least have a dilemma like this was the iraq war vote. and it was back in 2002.

it's a similar situation. the politics of the moment basically said you got to stick by the president. you got to do this. there was concern what's this going to look like five years down the road. dwell, five yearsn the road, that iraq war vote was viewed very differently particularly among manys democrats a it is today. and that is what casey was pointing to. when you're starting to have those conversations with house democrats. okay. if you don't do impeachment, you're making a political decision. what is this going to look like if something else pops up at two months and we haven't done this? or if hs win re-election and you didn't do this. what's that going to look like then? >> what about another option here? what about censure? is that the kind of option that uld provide cover for democrats and republicans? they can slap the president on the wrist, acknowledge the wrong doing, and both move on? is that a viable possibnkity?

>> i thinly if it had a bipartisan appeal to it. if you thought republicans wereo also going to this. i don't think you would see republicans. it would still look like a partisan thing. i think without censure only work ifs congress truly is speaking with one voice. and there's just no -- you can just see the rlly isn't a movement among republicans. you know, you hearpe whis. justin amash will say people agree with hiss sayings. you'll get an occasional mitt romney. but i want to say one thing. bob mueller closed his press conference by talking about the systemic eorts of vee russian goment to interfere in our election. the lack of urgency in the white nuse, that's bee the real scandal. >>hend t fbi director has testified they'll do it again. and they're working on it right now. chuck, thank you very much. appreciate it. now to another report leading to some outrage in washington overnight.

areas of where people areeeing these hidden fees. >> we interviewed more than 2,000 people. 85% say they were hit by some type of hidden fee in the past two years. so here are the big ones. telecom banking credit cards and travel. telecom topped the list. lsble bil cell phone bills, all that jargon at the end of the bill you might not lookat that all ads up. you see that one price when you think you're starting a transaction. you get to the fine print, you click through and it's all much, much higher. >> let's slide down into that a little bit more. >> sure. id we sa this is mostly we're talking about cable, internet, and cell phone service. so there are some ways to save here if you don't want to pay these hidden fees. you don't need to have a paid tv service. antennas can dod a goo job bringing in channels. also streaming tv also how about buying your modem? you pay a monthly rental fee. you can buy one and use it just the same. if you'rech looking to ge cell

phone carriers or upgrade, they charge that $30 or $40 pea. ask them not . eopl eu' heard the phrase, cut the cord. ishat something you can do? take advantage of the technology out there and get yourself out of the bad deals paying the extra fees? >> that's right. air channels y can get with a good quality antenna. >> you can get quality content without the cable providers. >> yeah. >> so what's next on the credit cards? >> banks collected $11 billion in overdraft >> it almost seems criminal. >> because they tack on. right? if you have a low balance fee then an erdraft fee, before you know it, you are racking up a ton of fees for people that can least afford to pay for them. set upn alerts o your phone so if you are below $100 or $50, you know it and you can adjust your spending from there. also use in-network atms.

$3 to $5 out of network. find a bank where atms are coenient to kbrou. and shop around. even i you're in an area without many choices for banks, lots of online banks today. if you don'tave to go in and interact with a teller, you can save money that way. then the transaction fee on credit cards, find a credit card if you're traveling abroad without the foreign trans.tion fe >> i don't know if this works for all of the hidden fees, but i read somewhere around 2/3 of sople trying to get out of the fees theyd okay you win. >> you have to be oactive. that's what consumer can a lot . we have the what the fee . campaign we're asking companies to be more transparent. and if n necessary, congress should pass laws so people don't have to do that much work. >> and finally travel.

>> we were just tki ieank ngre. this is where you can get hit. airlines, all these fees. >> you think you're paying for the ticket fee. but tt doesn't include the bags. carrier that doesn't charge forhat' bag. southwest gives two free check eed bags. the seat selection, the aisle seat, window seat, you might have to pay for that. i book advance to have more seats to pick from. then watch out for tolls for rental cars. this has become a bigke moneyma for rental car companies. they charge you not only for the toll but thel renta of the transponder. even to process the toll. like a 50 cent toll could be $15. it is aggravating as somebody who uses a rental car fairly often. refill your rentals. they're going to charge you. then book hotels directly. you can avoid those reservation fees that third parties charge. also watch outor for res fees. check the website directly.

because even if you're not ine th bahamas or florida, i booked my parents a room here. there's a $25 destination resort fee. >> on everything. basically the note is being more personally vested in these areas. banking, travel, credit cards. and you could save yourself almost 3 grand a year. >> got to look at the bills closely. you can save thousands of dollars. >> thanks so much. we are going to take a break. and we're back with emma thompson. e going to talk about showing off her funny side. h also honor from the queen. but first this is "today" on nbc.
