>> it's rosenstein i didn't see your name. >> i just had a quick question about the department, will it be department issuance department notice do we have a date when that will happen? na is an extremely important department notice. we agree with you, it is it's what gives officers the vehicle and the information to fill the cal riper report. i see the expiration is the 7th so i was wondering when that will happen. >> i don't know the exact date but it is coming. >> okay, thank you. >> there wouldn't be a gap. >> it expired on april 7th. >> right so we have no interim mechanism? >> right now, no. >> can we get an et a? >> yes, we'll get an et a and we can actually put it in my report next week as well. >> i thought we created a tickler system where we don't have situations that expired. >> we do have a system we are backed up on some things but we have a system. >> okay, vice president carter oberstone. >> just a comment, i want to reiterate what i said last time that the unit reported, which i really appreciate the format of the new report. it's just an enormous improvement over th

you think robert mueller was going to go to rod rosenstein and get a subpoena to put mike pence beforeloves come off on a trump investigation in a way that we didn't see before. some people may say it's aggressive some people say this is how a justice department investigation proceeds at the end of the day, a lot of what's going on in this investigation never would have happened if donald trump was still in the white house >> let me -- how much of it is the absence of the protections or the protectors in bill barr and rod rosenstein, whose role as a protector is a known unknown, how much of it is the egregiousness of the crimes? he plotted an insurrection in which hanging mike pence was the mission statement and hoarded classified documents >> in the mueller investigation, the obstruction prosecutors went after it as hard as they could they had a real time cooperator in the white house who was providing them with element real time readouts of what trump was saying, including in what is probably the closest obstructive act trump took i don't know, but the fact that trump was in the whit

and this focus on democracy in place of a mob democracy, wher a mob, rosenstein of the people, it willces of our people to the peoples house. >> representative johnson, i mean, i feel like we say this lot. but i feel like we are at tipping point in this country. i mean, we are certainly seein grassroots mobilization, certainly in places like nashville, as a result of th tragedy there, and what ha happened with three of you but what would you like to see done, both, on a national level, if there is to be done nationally or do you believe this fight has a better chance locally in arenas that you and your colleagues are fighting in >> i think we have to work through both of those arenas you know, something just cam to light since we have been in the public eye, we continue to highlight this issue every tim we talk about the situation on tv and after the kentucky situation, a kentuck representative has reached out to me and said we have just go to do something. and we're talking about having conversations between th states, how can we wor together on this how can we grow this movement? how

had this trouble five years ago when he was trying to find lawyers to represent them after rob rosenstein had appointed the special counsel robert mueller and lock. you know, he went through the list of big names. in fact, i was on a phone call, um, with him where he was asking me about lawyers and, um they won't represent him because he's erratic. doesn't pay his bills doesn't follow directions. um undercuts his own lawyers by, you know, shopping for advice, and it does seem like he likes this sort of team of game of thrones like no, but it's part of it. yeah. i mean, that's part of the you know the his his manipulation of the situation wants to manipulate the situation. he wants to hear what he wants to hear. which is part of how you know he's getting himself into trouble in other places like the mar-a-lago documents. he's talking to a non lawyer getting advice about about whether he gets to keep these documents that he took from the federal government. you know, it's just it's no way to run. it's no way to run a criminal defense or any kind of defense program. you know, the campaign sa

. >> rosenstein. >> rosenstein.e forget, thank god, but trump immediately said, there goes my presidency he was aware of it, you know, there are a lot of things, you know, that president trump, and i'll go you, rev there are a lot of things that donald trump is willfully ignorant of, whether it's the constitution, whether it's history, whether it's -- whether it's the law, and he does live in his own world, but he is very aware. he is very tied in to where he is sitting he's very, very aware of the insecurities that have haunted him his entire life, which makes him strike out even when somebody with, like, 15 followers on twitter attacks him or -- >> this is a first in his life >> yeah. so this is a first, and i always think about maggie haberman, somebody who knows a lot about him who said for donald trump he was always trying to survive the next five minutes. that's what his life's been like publicly since 1973, 1974. this is the moment he's been fearing all that time. so i suspect he -- despite what he says publi

. >> there was a sense that the bar rosenstein, o'callaghan, chain of command over the mueller probeism dismissively as obstruction of justice as a criminal bucket dave's comment is that's where a lot of the heat is how do you think this justice department looks at trump's efforts to obstruct efforts to regain possession of national security documents >> i don't now i think if -- this is another thing here where we're trying to predict, how does merrick garland view the world when he doesn't really say much. if merrick garland is a person as an institutionalist trying to reset the norms, the only thing i can take away from that is that if a special counsel said they wanted to bring charges in something, he probably would go along with that, sort of following the norms of, okay, well, i appointed this special counsel to do an investigation they're an independent investigator who has found this thing, you know, would merrick garland override that. at the same time merrick garland will be in a position where he has to decide whether to charge the likely republican nominee against the pr
