0:00.0 | That's Robert Mueller speaking live from the Justice Department. |
0:04.7 | No questions, no reporters there. |
0:07.4 | And he's walked away. |
0:08.9 | He's left the podium. |
0:10.4 | So I think his main purpose there, he does not want to testify. |
0:14.8 | He's not a good speaker. |
0:16.0 | And if you've watched him testify in the past when he was years ago FBI director, |
0:20.2 | and he had a testimony. He's a horrible |

1:18.5 | That's not really what the... Remember, the law says the report goes to the Attorney General, |
1:23.0 | and that's it. No one else sees it ever ever if the attorney general decides to release it |
1:27.9 | that's just a courtesy that he's providing right and there's nothing in the law that |
1:31.9 | would ever allow congress to see the special counsel report unless the attorney |
