0:00.0	to prime time. The president's attorney is right about one thing. It is time to rumble, my friends.
0:06.2	We now have the facts. Except for some info like some grand jury redactions and that'll come
0:10.7	eventually. You can now test what the facts mean. Please read the report. Now here's the good news.
0:18.4	We know that Russia interfered in the election. It's not speculative on any level for anyone except
0:22.9	our president and our president and his campaign did not commit crimes connected to the interference.
