0:00.0 | Thank you Anderson. I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to Primetime on this Mueller report E. We're finally going to get to read this report for ourselves tomorrow. |
0:10.0 | Not all of it, but maybe enough to start making some conclusions of our own. |
0:16.0 | Before Attorney General, no holds bar comes out to summarize it again and do exactly what the president put him there to do. Protect him and spit. |
0:26.0 | He's already given Team Trump a big heads up so they can prepare their rebuttal. |
0:30.0 | We have the reporter who helped break that story tonight and some other breaking news just in on what we're going to see and what we're not going to see. |
0:38.0 | Is Barr the president's new fixed answer to that seems to be yes, Democrats are furious, but what can they do? |
0:44.0 | We have a key lawmaker here on what they plan to do to push back. |
0:49.0 | And we have a potential 2020 contender. He's going to announce which way he's going to go on our watch. |
0:56.0 | Former Virginia governor Terry McCallough in or out. Let's find out and let's get after. |
1:04.0 | All right, this news just came out. It's being reported by the Washington Post. |
1:10.0 | We know that the Attorney General plans to hold a press conference at 9.30 a.m. Eastern tomorrow to talk about the report. |
1:17.0 | And that's very problematic, but let's just get to what the breaking news is. |
1:21.0 | They say that this report is going to be lightly redacted. |
1:28.0 | That is a new report from the Washington Post. What will that mean? I don't know. |
1:33.0 | The good spin on it is if there's only what needs to be out of there for national security reasons and that Congress gets to see even that so that they can make judgments. |
1:43.0 | Remember, they're the ones that you elected to make these kinds of determinations, not the Attorney General. |
1:48.0 | They should be making the determinations about what you get to know about and not not the Attorney General. |
1:53.0 | That will be fine, but if lightly redacted is just spin and it turns out there's a lot of stuff in there that makes the story unclear from Mueller's perspective, |
2:02.0 | but then lightly redacted is still too heavy an exclusion for satisfaction. Secondly, the Washington Post also just reported in the last few minutes that the reason the Mueller team couldn't reach a conclusion on whether the President obstructed justice is because it was hard to determine the President's intent. |
2:24.0 | Now, of course it was. Remember this key fact. The President's team refused to have him answer any questions about conduct during his presidency so he wouldn't answer any questions about obstruction. |
2:40.0 | How could they figure out his intent if they never got to interview the subject of that analysis? All right. |
2:47.0 | What will we get? A blow by blow of the President's alleged conduct, the tweets, private threats, other episodes. What does that mean? I don't know, that's what they're calling it. |
