there's no gotcha moment for donald trump, matt miller. there's nothing the president -- i have to say the president isn't among the seven of us that's read it but i think there's a false limiting sense in some of the commentary already, and this news is barely 15 hours old and people are saying, i don't know if he will stray from the report. the paralysis politically has been no one got through everything in this report. people wanted to move past it. mueller testifying about its contents gives democrats the alleged standoff. >> i think that's right and one thing the president understands is television. you can see he's rightlily concerned because he gets the power of speaking on television about a report a lot of people haven't read. i think there are three inflection points since this investigation ended. the first is mueller deciding not to make a call on obstruction, the second was the way bob barr mislead the public about the report and gave a head start spin -- >> five, five appearances or public statements before we got this. >> ex
