quote bring the mauler report to life and create a television moment through ploys like having mr moeller reciting passages from his own report in other words this hearing is political theater it's a hell mary attempt to convince the american people that collusion is real and that it's concealed in the report granted that's a strange argument to make about a report that is public it's almost like the democrats prepared arguments accusing mr barr of hiding the report and didn't bother to update their claims once you publish the entire thing among congressional democrats the russia investigation was never about finding the truth it's always been a simple media operation by their own accounts this operation continues in this room today once again numerous pressing issues this committee needs to address are put on hold to indulge the political fantasies of people who believed it was their destiny to serve hillary clinton's administration it's time for the curtain to close on the russia hoax a conspiracy theory is dead at some point i would argue we're going to have to get back to work until t

i'm quoting here generally not being truthful in his written statements which were submitted to the moeller investigation because they're been reaction from the president or from members of congress or president trump just moments ago left the oval office and spoke to some reporters and of course not very surprisingly he called this all again a witch hunt and in addition to that he called it fake news a lot of phony stuff those were his words here today not very surprisingly but one thing is clear both sides are really trying to claim victory for president trump also sad that this is an embarrassment for the democrats and for the whole country the democrats in turn. got the sound they wanted at least partially and the one was of course robert lawler as you just said and heard it. claiming that this was not a witch on an earlier he said in the judiciary committee that president trump is not exonerated so essentially you have robert mann of the author of this report. proving to major of claims of the president wrong at least through the eyes of robert muller. some would say listen to this nex

hearings in decades have been there were high expectations today word those expectations met by mr moeller. well i'd say if you expect a lot of new material to come out of these hearings here today if you expected robert muller to liver anything substantial to what's already in the report then you might be disappointed right now. that was not the purpose of these hearings and the democrats really did not consider this to happen at all 2 robert mala actually was even given the order yesterday by the department of justice to strictly focus on the report one democratic lawmaker even said the main goal is to get driver dollars say what robert him on the roads and now if you want you can consider these hearings here today is something like a political blockbuster because what's happening and this is the major problem here is that you have these 448 pages of mahler report that's very hard to digest not only for lawmakers and journalists but also for your average american voter and that is what the democratic party and the committees here 1 were trying to achieve is to get robert moller out on li

point and thank you very much for having me what you're referring to is a meeting i had with the moeller team in december of 20172 months after my name.

victory after the former special counsel robert muller testified before 2 congressional committees moeller told lawmakers that his investigation found inadequate evidence to prove that there was collusion between president trump's campaign and russia but he repeated that he did not clear trump of obstructing the probe many are viewing miller's testimony as a last chance for democrats to build a case for impeachment president trump. for a man who tries to issue the spotlight former special counsel robot mama found himself at the center of a media frenzy once again in one of the most closely watched congressional hearings capitol hill has seen in decades mother's testimony and at times halting nevertheless hounded the democrats and. so the report did not include he did not commit obstruction of justice. that is correct and what about total exoneration if you actually totally exonerate the prison you know now in fact . you have which expression he states that it does not exonerate the person it does aggression democrats republican lawmakers focused instead almost conclusion that there was ins

thank you mr we're moving on now understand this river in the 5 minute rule mr moeller i have several questions many of which should you just answer will be kind question here in a moment but i want to play some foundations and we'll go through these fairly quickly i'll talk slowly i'm said that all fast i'll talk slow thank you turn your press conference today the testimony from your office would not go beyond our report we chose these words carefully the work speaks for itself i would not provide information beyond that which is already public in any appearance before congress do you stand by that statement. says close in special counsel's office in may of 2019 have you conducted any additional interviews or obtained any new information in your role as special counsel and in the in the wake of the records since the since the closing of the office in may of 20 knots and the question was have you don't have any new interviews any new witnesses. and you can confirm you're no longer special counsel for i am no longer special counsel at any time of the investigation was your investigatio

the attorney general barr gave his own version which was totally i'm sorry insane and inappropriate moeller will add context and actually again if he gets to the words of key points of the report i think it will have some impact if he had done it earlier in the process before barr entered it would have had tremendous impact steve apologies but we're out of time thank you steve malzberg and mitch caesar and that you do for watching the big picture if you see us somewhere else you can now also watch r t america live youtube dot com slash r t america and we're live on direct t.v. channel 321 on the supercool pluto t.v. 132 and on dish 280 and all of our shows are available anytime anywhere on any device at youtube dot com slash the big picture our team on holland cook in washington back here same time next week and in the meantime i am at holland cook on twitter where if you follow me i'll follow you question more. it's. so. tough. and very well now can see you watching us in such a. we have to be expectation that when we lifted people out of poverty when we became rich then we'd become. and i

point and thank you very much for having me what you're referring to is a meeting i had with the moeller team in december of 20172 months after my name one public regarding my guilty plea and i was in discussions with team basically trying to actually understand what was happening in my case because at that point i started to have contacts by various reporters who were telling me that my story wasn't adding up the way that my status of a.

once again his investigation did not clear president trump of obstructing justice many are viewing moeller testimony today as a last chance for democrats to build a case for impeaching the president. robert mueller who spent 2 years leading an investigation determining if president trump had colluded with russia did not look like he wanted to be there but for democrats and republicans in congress this was an opportunity to get their points across live on t.v. report did not include he did not commit it structure just. that is correct and what about total exoneration if you actually totally exonerate the president you know and in fact your reports expressly states that it does not exonerate the person it does democrats were disappointed that the miller report found no smoking gun but hope that enough of the dirt will stick to dampen trump's prospects in the 2020 election republicans he has the hearing to hammer home their view of the president's innocence in their questions to a frail looking and distracted. report is it true the evidence gathered during your best occasion did not establish

throw in robert muller moeller and the media now patrick just mentioned something very significant and that is how well the democrats did in the congressional elections well what was what was most are doing that he knew damn well by then that there was no collusion why do say it why did you wait till several months after the election so the democrats could do really well why do you wait until later to say well you know actually i can't find any evidence of collusion so it's not only the media it's the whole deep state which as you know i call the mickey mouse ok after i'm going to give you the last word here are how optimistic you are trump will get something before the election. well i think if there is a president that knows the deep state it is stump donte saw him play dicta but he doesn't listen to he's advised he doesn't need intelligence briefings every morning and he does his own show so you know they put us off the deep state. but it has less influence on this president and any other president the fall ok well we have seen the deep state trip to try to trip this president up re

the report in the way it was characterized in the report importantly the president never said fire moeller or in the investigation and one doesn't necessitate the other and began in fact did not resign he stuck around for a year and a half on march 24th attorney general barn for the committee that he had received special counsels from work and it was not until april 18th that the attorney general release the report to congress and the public when you submitted your report to the attorney general did you deliver a redacted version of the report so that he would be able to release it to congress and the public without delay pursuant to his announcement of his intention to do so during his confirmation hearing. gaijin discussion about what happened after the production of our report had the attorney general asked you to provide a redacted version of the report we worked on when i could version together did he ask you for a version where the grand jury material was separated you go into detail is it your belief that in an redacted version of the report could be released to congress or the publ

the moeller report further explains that in late july 2016 shortly after waking leaks 1st started releasing information stolen by russia from d.n.c. computers australia told the f.b.i. that months earlier trump campaign advisor george papadopoulos had told us truly is top diplomat in britain that russia had dirt on hillary clinton in the form of thousands of emails and that russia had indicated it could help the trump campaign by releasing those stolen e-mails to damage candidate clinton in fact the mother report concluded that trump campaign welcomed encouraged and expected to benefit electorally from russia's efforts we should be grateful for the work that law enforcement does to stop foreign governments from interfering in united states elections this is especially true now with another presidential election ahead we know that russia's efforts are ongoing and that other foreign powers will not hesitate to exploit opportunities to interfere in our elections and democracy you have warned us directory that russia is quote adapting and upping their game and quote and have described russia's

investigation into russian interference in the 26000 presidential election democrats are likely to push moeller on whether the president obstructed justice joining the investigation sabotage he has to details for almost 2 years some opponents of president trump reached a frenzy as they speculated about what special counsel robert muller might uncover as he investigated allegations of khujand between the trump campaign and russia during the 2016 election in the end they were disappointed there was insufficient evidence to charge a broader conspiracy nonetheless it's expected the democrats will concentrate on the repeated contacts between russian nationals and members of the trump campaign in the 2nd of wednesday's hearings before the house intelligence committee as well as allegations of russian interference in the election democrats are expected to focus on whether donald trump obstructed the investigation itself in the 1st hearing before the house judiciary committee specifically for the dole truck would have been indicted how do you not been president muller has cited department of justice gu

huge reaction to that moment and he also answered democrats question here is one of the problems moeller has overlooked a huge issue that came up in the afternoon session one of the congressman mike quigley asked muller. if there was a problem about the statute of limitations what that means is that there's a time frame a clock a prosecutor has to bring charges within a certain number of years that congress designates in all of the relevant charges here that clock that deadline is 5 years the congressman asked muller what happens if the 5 years runs out when trump if trump were to serve 2 terms and muller said i don't know and then he asked again and he said i'm not aware and the congressman was clear there is no way to stop the clock that then i think is one of the big problems of mahler's approach muller said that he wouldn't be clear about any accusations or criminal conclusions because he couldn't indict trump and that wouldn't be fair to trump there's a bigger fairness problem if the statute of limitations runs that means a president could be permanently above the law that's a bigge

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 i

. >> moeller is restricted what he can talk about following the rule of the law.earing of donald trump will only get so far. it is exculpatory with president trump no collusion they did not make the case for obstruction. that he will also have to answer questions for the first time about his conflict of interes interest, the political bias of his team , about the abusive early-morning raids. his use of the fisa court process, potentially just by a president trump. and all of the other abuses we have known about. it is going to be an attack on president trump but in many ways the republicans come i hope are prepared debt to highlight the spy gate abuses and targeting of trump that mueller and his team happily engaged in with the abuse of office. he was hired because the justice department is supposed to hire the special counsel who are confident in the fair administration of justice does anybody think he did his job in that regard quick. >> we are lawyers. >> i'm not a lawyer. >> you should be. that the report itself. so to go outside the four corners who will obje

. >>> the robert moeller file, on capitol hill, -- >> i think that both sides will find the testy pretty frustrating. >>> from ktvu, this is the 4. >>> the chp is trying toiece together the details of a freeway shooting yesterday in oakland, and whether road rage played a role. the driver remains hospital this afternoon. welcome everyone to the 4, i am heather holmes. >> that shut down a portion of the 90th avenue exit during last night's commute. we talked to the owner of the suv that was targeted in the shooting and now we are joined live from oakland with latest on the investigation. henry? >> reporter: he tells me it was his friends riding in the suv and he believes the violence was a result of road rage. it happened within moments, gunfire on a busy oakland freeway. >> i open the window, they pulled a gun and shot. >> reporter: he owns this rav4 that came under fire about 6:30 on monday night. you can see bulletholes in the passenger-side door. he was not in the suv but two of his friends were driving north on 880, they tried to move into the lane on the right. >> the other car, the

thank you mr we're moving on though understand this router in the 5 minute rule mr moeller i have several questions many of which you just answer will be gun question here in a moment but i want to play some foundations that will go through these fairly quickly i'll talk slowly i'm said that i call fast i'll talk slow thank you so in your press conference you stated any testimony from your office would not go beyond our report we chose these words carefully the work speaks for itself i would not provide information beyond that which is already public in any appearance before congress do you stand by that statement yes this is close in special counsel's office in may of 20 not jane have you conducted any additional interviews or obtained any new information in your role as special counsel and in the in the wake of the records since the since the closing of the office in may of 20 knotting and the question was if you do not get any new interviews new any new witnesses anything and you can confirm you're no longer special counsel correct i am no longer special counsel at any time of the inve

will be looking at public opinion polls in the coming days to figure out their next steps now the moeller has spoken. al-jazeera washington. a president trump and senior u.s. democrats have been reacting to miller's testimony mike hanna has more from washington. both parties are claiming victory following robert miller's appearance in the house among them president trump who carried out what he saw as a victory lap on the lawns of the white house taking questions from reporters insisting that he was not fully vindicated by robert muller's evidence in the course of the day repeating this assertion that the whole investigation was a witch hunt a phony cloud that had been looming over his presidency this is what else he had to say. so we had a very good day today the republican party. our country. there was no defense of what robert muller was right to defend it offers to robert muller whether is performance was a bad one or a good one i think everybody understands that i think everybody understands what's going on there was no defense to this ridiculous hope this witch hunt that's been goin

something to remember is that robert moeller has testified before congress about 80 times by the washingtonwe will and won't say, so it will be difficult to get him to go beyond what he said before which is, my report speaks for itself. you will see democrats try to draw him out when he said there was insufficient evidence of a criminal conspiracy with russia, exactly how close he came to thinking about bringing charges of some sort of collusion, they might be interested in the obstruction case and why robert muller decided not to have some sort of a binding on obstruction. meanwhile, republicans, you will see then what you're looking to be the beginnings of the probe, they said they think there was bias in the investigation, bias and the intelligence agencies trying to target donald trump so i think will be more, like a lot of these hearings, grandstanding, questions that reallyjust state m e nts questions that reallyjust statements and it will be interesting to see if he gets round out anymore but i think looking at a track record, that is properly not very likely. it is the one you're wa

moeller's right to be worried.nside the new york times and online, the editorial includes the following. -- the legislative bottleneck is in the republican-controlled senate but both parties have done their part to politicize the issue. your reaction? guest: the democrats have come out strong on election security. the republicans have held this up in the senate but i think it is important to look past the partisan bickering and look at where there is bipartisan agreement and that is not a short list. there is widespread agreement that election security is national security and federal, state and local election officials on both sides agree on that. most recently you saw leader mcconnell giving his support for making election security a priority and you also saw senator shelby who is the chair senate appropriations committee reiterate his support for election security and protecting elections in alabama and across the country. host: on that point, rachael wilson, there is the senate select committee releasing a repo
