i agree with senator mccaskill. the other thing that struck me is the fact that the special counsel himself chose not to review the four-page summary. i think in some ways it's clear bob mueller kind of wants to wash his hands of any character zafgs his work. i think it sounds to me like he was concerned that bill barr was issuing somewhat of a misleading, perhaps, summary of the conclusions. and you have to look no further than the fact that with respect to the part of the barr letter in which he said, yes, the president was not exonerated, there was criminal conduct, that said, within 48 hours, i'm going to clear the president completely even though the special counsel has taken two years to investigate this matter. i think that's something that when the report finally comes out, i sincerely hope there's not a lot of redactions there. because there is going to be a lot to learn about the president's conduct in that section. >> and neil catial, to jeremy's second point, jeremy's friends at the pentagon said standof

lessons from scotland to tackle knife crime in london let us return to the interview with katie mccaskill where he cautions on expecting me to progress let me tell you but susan to certainly well you have just to say that just in a year you've got basically what's been happening in england though you've got screaming place headlines you've got tragedy after tragedy the number of fatalities from knives and skull and i think reached a peak you you've got to last families coming to see you and the grief and demanding action you've got opposition politicians saying it'll get this social. approach and get stuck in prison sentences not as to how did you deal with that situation as a justice it well i think london as well as lending lessons from from the wider public health approach that thankfully is being dealt with now they should also look at the new deputy commissioner of the goat and steve hayes because he was the chief constable of strathclyde data largest single area and biggest police force and where that was the epicenter of knife crime and you're right it was a real crisis because it

claire mccaskill, who stands out to you out of all that news?think the amount of money that beto raised in 18 dates is phenomenal. him declared -- many staff would go, oh, no, you got i think he's very confident about his base. and i think that low dollar fund-raising, i've said frtd beginning that's going to be one of the biggest because this is going to get very expensive. when you try to put people on the field. people underestimate the cost of a field program. a field program depends on a lot of volunteers, but it also depends on a lot of staff to make sure they go to the right homes at the right time. you're you're going to have to have a ground game. so i do think the fund-raising numbers are -- and i think buttigieg -- >> buttigieg. >> i had one of my children say they sent him $3. i went "what?" >> i've heard a lot of that. >> she's a student and she, mom, i sent him $3. i thought, well, that's something to go from nobody knowing who you are and i was on the university of shug cam bus. all the so there's some buzz around that guy. >> you

democratic senator from minnesota clair mccaskill and jeremy bash, former chiefs of staff at cia and the pawn, and acting solicitor general during the obama administration. also happens to be a member of the justice department. kneel. i would like to begin you. you tell us what happened today. >> well, i think what happened -- it's fitting that you played that by putin. it was very kremlin-y. we saw barr testified before congress about how many efforts he's taken to prevent the american people and the congress from getting information, setting out these four categories, which are really expansive. privacy about peripheral third parties. we're not going to see information about. he has that color coding chart. it reminds me of the color coding after the horrible september 11 attacks, which was more security theater than anything else, and i fear this is going to be a much more public released theater and it's sounding like he is laying the seeds to not tell the american people everything that's in the mueller report. to tell congress everything that's in it. one telling fact today, he

. >>> joining me now, claire mccaskill. you've gotten into it with mitch mcconnell at times. let's take a look. >> i am stunned that that is what leader mcconnell would call regular order. i ask unanimous consent -- >> i'm going to object tonight but we'll discuss it tomorrow. >> the united states senate is no longer the world's greatest deliberative body and everybody needs to quit saying it. until we recover from this period of polarization, and the fear of the political consequences of tough votes. >> what have you learned about senator mcconnell? >> mitch mcconnell cares about one thing. that is being the majority leader of the senate. he sought the power. he's been in the senate for over three decades. what he always wanted to be was a senator and what he always wanted to be was the leader and he will do anything, including frankly, creed power to the executive branch, wreak havoc in the judicial branch. whatever it takes to hold on to power which means every decision he makes is through a political prism for the republican members of his caucus. the only times he's real

they tried to hack claire mccaskill's campaign, for example. just because the president doesn't want to talk about it, there is work going on in dhs. you had the atlantic council yesterday talk about how they're offering services to the democratic field to help secure their cyber -- their campaigns. so in offering the same services they offered at local and state election boards the last cycle. so there are things in motion. that said, if the president isn't involved, really it creates -- there's a disconnect there. but this isn't going to change. the president isn't going to all of a sudden come out and say you know what? you guys were all right. the intelligence services were right. the mueller report is right when it comes to election interference. it isn't going to happen. >> let me ask you this. we talk a lot about how there's not great political appetite right now for the russian investigation. it's not a top voting issue, as you go into 2020. on the issue, though, of the threat to the election -- >> yes. >> -- itself, is that something t
