Hey, everyone listening to the podcast. This is Ari, and this is one of those podcast extras for you.

0:05.6

We are about to play some very special reporting on what was in the Mueller report, the facts, the

0:10.8

stories, the evidence, why so many people say there were five or more potential charges of

0:16.9

obstruction against President Trump. And some of this has not aired in any way on the

0:21.1

weeknight episodes of the beat or on the podcast thus far. Coming up, you're going to hear my special

0:25.7

report on the two paths forward that Mueller himself laid out, sometimes in the report and

0:30.3

sometimes in his footnotes. Basically, the idea that if a president, any president does commit

0:35.5

high enough crimes in office, either the Congress

0:38.9

can deal with it with removal, or there's also the possibility of indicting that president

0:43.8

after they leave office under the DOJ rules.

0:46.5

Then a very special interview where we go deep with Neil Cottchall, who many of you know

0:51.3

from his series on the beat and is, of course, former Solicitor General

0:54.4

for Barack Obama, he makes the claim in the interview you're about to hear that Donald

0:58.4

Trump is actually worse than Nixon, who was basically forced out of office for his alleged

1:04.5

obstruction. I'll let Neil tell you all about that coming up. And then my special report on how

1:09.6

Bill Barr was busted by the Mueller

1:12.1

report for misleading the public and how understanding that is key to changing how the

1:18.3

public, the press, and everyone deals with Bill Barr going forward. As I sometimes say around

1:22.6

here, facts matter. I hope you enjoy this podcast and if you do, feel free to give us a rating

1:27.0

whatever you think we deserve. We aim for five, feel free to give us a rating, whatever you think

1:27.6

we deserve. We aim for five stars or a comment. We read them and we think about what to do and what

1:33.3

you want as we continue to provide you these episodes of The Beat with Ari Melbert.
