Hey, everyone listening to the podcast. This is Ari Melburgh, and this is our podcast extra after quite a week, Bob Mueller, swearing in and addressing Congress under oath and under subpoena.

I can mention in terms of our reporting, I was in the room sitting in the back row with the reporters watching Mr. Mueller do his thing.

It was fascinating, and history will long remember

what he did. It's not about even the first snap judgment. So what you're going to hear next

is some of our deep reporting on that. First, our breakdown of the crucial moment where we think

there was the elements of a potential crime. We're going to walk through that in detail,

but pretty concisely. After that, you're going to hear my breakdown of several key moments,

along with someone who's been reporting this story from the inception in 2016 long before

Donald Trump was president, and that's David Korn. And after that, you'll hear my interview

with a key insider to this whole probe, someone who went

toe to toe with Mueller. That's Trump lawyer, Jay Sekola. All of that in this special Mueller

edition of our podcast, The Beat, with Ari Melbert. We now turn to the special report I've been

promising. This was a historic hearing today, and there were big issues teed up. Is President Trump's conduct impeachable? As we were just discussing, Mueller won't say. Was Trump wrong to welcome Russia's hacking? Yes, he testified it was unpatriotic. But is there evidence that Trump committed obstruction of justice? That is actually one of the most fascinating, important exchanges occurred, and I want you to see it

in context.

This was under questioning by Democratic Congressman Jeffries.

And maybe it's not a coincidence that this is the topic where Mueller is very careful, very

lawyerly, confirming, troubling evidence against Trump, and saying that Jeffries may be in the

ballpark while stressing he won't co-sign the whole analysis.

I don't subscribe necessarily to the way you analyze that. I'm not saying it's out of the

ballpark, but I'm not supportive of that analytical charge. What got Mueller speaking so carefully?

A damning section of the Mueller report teeing off.

One of the most counterproductive tweets Donald Trump ever sent, admitting he was under criminal investigation.
