Wait, wait a minute. That's it then. No one else really knows anything.

Yes sir. What do we learn Palmer? I don't know sir. Hard to say.

Hello and welcome to this Trump Inc podcast extra Bill Barr letter edition. I'm Andrea Bernstein.

We're still processing what we do know what we don't know and what we want to know.

But while we're doing that, we're going to send you three different ways to think about what we've learned so far about the special counsel's report, which obviously we've yet to see.

In a moment, I'll be joined by ProPublico's Eric Umanzki, who a couple of weeks ago put together a list of tips for interpreting the Mueller report.

After that, we're going to play a segment that my co-host Ilya Maritz and I did with new school professor and MSNBC legal analyst Maya Wiley on WNYC's Brian Lairer show.

But first, the Department of Justice announced it will appoint a former FBI director Robert Mueller as an independent special counsel.

General consensus, it was a good decision to pick a special counsel.

Robert Mueller is perhaps the single most qualified individual to lead such an investigation in my view.

Mueller loves prosecuting bad guys. He loves putting criminals in jail. It's his thing.

I was going to fire, call me, my decision. Do you believe this arrives to obstruction justice?

I don't know. That's Bob Mueller's job to sort that out.

I think that the probe is a disaster for our country.

To me, this appears as the closest we've seen yet to real-life actual collusion.

We've been saying from day one, there's been no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion.

Are people going to suspect cover-up? Absolutely.

I did not collude with Russia. There was no collusion, no nothing.

Have this witch hunt. It's a total witch hunt.

This Russia thing with Trump and Russia.

Again, I think we really, we're going to have to see what Mueller says.

We've got a lot of falsification going on. We've got a lot of lying going on.
