display today you know what happened, wiseman did it all, he made sure that roger stone was arrested in the middle of the night with s.w.a.t. teams and made sure that paul montfort put in solitary confinement in outrageous display, bob mueller slept through this event from beginning to end and today his finale showed him asleep at the hearing. >> it is also -- i don't think we should leave out nancy pelosi, i don't think we should leave out chuck schumer and the democratic party and the democratic national committee that worked together in obvious and persisted with restraining themselves from revealing that information to the american people which played a significant role in the results i believe firmly in 2018. >> yeah. >> you left out one group, the mainstream media, none of this could have been done without the cooperation of new york times, the washington post and all of the mainstream media television networks that colluded with the democrats to get this message across. i want to say one other thing about mueller's testimony today, he was capable of lying, he was very capable

his aides and wiseman was untruthful and wiseman got caught with arthur anderson, lost in supreme court 9-0, his aides were untruthful and they put mueller -- not at all, they put mueller in a very bad position. his aides put him in a very bad position. if you were ever truthful, you'd be able to write this. >> the dems have nothing, now they have less than nothing. that was president donald trump. hi, i'm greg gutfeld with kennedy, juan, live from d.c., jesse waters and sandra smith, this is "the five." so we hear donald trump will speak in a few more minutes, we're not sure when, we'll go back to that. in the meantime, quick reaction to the mueller hearing from the table and from juan, who was in d.c. sandra, good to see you. >> sandra hi, greg. the president just wrapped what we were witnessing throughout the day. in his own words, a bad day for the country, he went on to say good day for him. it was a great day for me. democrats should be ashamed for bringing this in the first place, on republicans, they defended something great today, called them warriors. robert mueller, on his pr

it was also clear that wiseman must have been the driving force in all of this. the one that has been closed, crystal clear today. >> you've seen it all along. >> tucker: he accused mueller of trying to conduct a political case, rather than a legal one. watch. >> why did you suggest russia was responsible when in court, you've been unable to produce any evidence to support it. >> i'm not going to get into that any further than i already have. >> but you have left a clear impression that it was the russian government, yet when you are called upon to produce evidence, you fail to do so. it's starting to look like, having desperately tried and failed to make a legal case against a president, you made a political case instead. you rang the doorbell and ran. >> one of the great images at today's hearing. congressman, thanks a lot for joining us. you raised one of the most interesting points of the day. we have changed one of. some of them, as you pointed out, are not. we don't know that that's actually true. >> well, it's not just me that has pointed it out. as you kn

the legal theory advanced by wiseman, correct? >> i'm not going to get into that. >> let me read from that. >> may i finish? >> yes. >> i'm not going to get into a discussion on that. i'll refer you to that citation that you gave mef at the out sit f for the lengthy discussion. to the extent i have anything to say about it it's in the report. >> i'm reading from your report. i'll read the decision of the supreme court reversing mr. wiseman. it's striking how little culpability the instruction is required. the jury was told that if they believed the conduct was lawful they could convict. it also covered innocent conduct. >> let me just say -- >> let me move on. i have limited time. i'm concerned about the implications of your theory. to emphasize how broad your theory is, on october 11, 2015 during the fbi investigation into hillary clinton's use of private email serve president obama said he doesn't think it was a problem. assuming his comments influenced the investigation couldn't president obama be charged under your interpretat

the --o, why were all everybody on mother's team including wiseman, why was he on mueller's team. and i would like to ask robert mueller personally did he write this report or did wiseman write it. there are several questions that i have about robert mueller. noter one i would like to when he was in charge of the boston field office for the department of justice, why wasn't whitey bulger ever found under his watch. he needs to answer a lot of questions. host: do you think robert mueller is trustworthy? caller: no. i do not. i think he's two-faced. i think he's doing what the democrats wanted him to do. and i would love for the republicans to get on him tomorrow. why didn't you question one democrat? host: what do you take from that? >> i don't know the party officially ancient -- party affiliations of everyone questioned. agreement was to look at connections and possible election interference and in the wordsusion of the letter from rosenstein. between the russians and the trump campaign peered given that it was a republican campaign one would expect that he would be talking to a

did wiseman disclose it to be 40 jointing? >> are not going to talk about that. >> is that not a conflict of interest? >> not going to talk about that. >> are you where is jeanie really represent hillary clinton personal e-mailsng originating from clinton's time a secretary of state? >> yes. >> did you know that before she came on? [inaudible] >> the guy sitting next to representing justin to bricklin aide who destroyed one of clinton's mobile devices and you aware by now that six of your lawyers donate $6000 directly to hillary clinton. i'm not even talk about the 49,000 the donor to other democrats, just the donations to the opponent who was a target of your investigation. >> can i speak forot a second to the hiring hiring practices? >> share. >> we strove to hide those individuals that could do the job. i've been in this business for almost 25 years, and in this 25 years i've not had a case once to ask someone about their political affiliation. it is notal done. what i care about is the capability of the individual to do th

one in every one of those cases me ask you about one in particular one of your top prosecutors and a wiseman obtain a conviction i guess ordering from arthur andersen lower court which was subsequently overturned in a unanimous supreme court decision that rejected the legal theory advanced by weissman correct and i could get it i don't have any read from that maybe i just remember i had just finished yes answer to say that i could be get involved in a discussion on that i will refer you to that citation that you gave me at the outset for that lengthy discussion on just what you're talking about and to the extent that i have say thing to say about it it is what we have already put into the report on that i am reading from your report when discussing the section now read from the decision the supreme court unanimously reversing mr weissman when he said indeed is that it's striking how little culpability the instructions required for example the jury was told that even a petitioner honestly and sincerely believed his conduct was lawful the jury could convict instructions also diluted the meanin

were you aware that wiseman was a devout democrat and that he was at her clinton's victory party? who did the vetting and hiring of the rest of your staff? when did you become aware that your team was only made up of big-time democratic owners and zero republicans? were you aware that jeannie ray who works for you, worked on the hillary clinton foundation as her lawyer? why was she on your team? do not see a conflict of interest? why did you fire, or did you fire struck and page because we know andrew mccabe says he didn't. it's been reported you didn't save struck and pages of cell phones after you became aware that they had a nancy trump by us. why? why did you send those phones back to its factory that they are made into get cleaned? isn't that basic law enforcement 101, save the records? do you regret all hiring only democrats? at the very least, do you realize the appearance of political violence and impropriety in your investigation? mr. mueller, one point in your investigation did you realize there was no collusion of conspiracy? why did the investigation continue after you

merry wiseman was a part of that group as well. okay i am over there with bill white, and mary wiseman. bill white was the drum major. and, he had a banner here. and a big baton and had his tricolored had on and push and push and boom. he was looking good. right? right beside him is mary wiseman. and costume sharper than me. this beautiful gown that was flowing all around. she had put her hair up in a mega oh. she was just looking important. and then i looked over in the mirror at myself back and i looked pretty good for a slave. and i said to bill, bill, do you mind if i sit this one out? and he said, okay. but, could you come by my mother hotel room after and tell me why? i said, all right. so, i went to his room after they had done all of this parading. and i said, when you put on 18th century clothing, it makes you feel important. it inspires you. it makes you think that the 18th century was the -- of what it means to be an american. when i wear the clothes i wear, i feel like a slave. and if i am responsible and want to get in

and i don't know if you remember mary wiseman. but mary wiseman was a part of that group as well. i'm over there with bill white and mary wiseman. bill white was the drum major. and he had coifed -- a banner here and the big badon and had the tricornered hat and poof and poof and boom. and he was looking good, right? and right beside him is mary wiseman. the costume shop made her this beautiful gown flowing around and put up the hair and the makeup on. and she was looking important. and then i looked over in the mirror at myself. and i looked pretty good for a slave. and i said to bill, bill, do you mind if i sit this one out? and he said, okay, but could you come by my hotel room afterward and tell me why. and i said all right. so i -- i went to his room after they had done all of this parading. and i said, when you put on 18th century clothing it makes you feel important. it inspires you. it makes you think that the 18th century was the ultimate of what it means to be an american. when i wear the clothes i wear, i feel like a slave. and if i'm responsible and want to get into my

and wiseman was untruthful. the aides were very untruthful. they put mother -- not at all -- they put mueller in a very bad position. truthful, youer would be -- [reporters shouting] pres. trump: i am very happy. i have not called boris, but i am very happy that he won. [question inaudible] pres. trump: what happened is it is a disgrace because they had a lot of text messages, and mueller illegally deleted those text messages. he did not know, he did not know anything. forget, they were the ones, just in case they would lose, they had an insurance policy. that was a very bad situation. but what they did, what mueller did, they deleted their text messages back and forth, probably thousands of them. that is serious. [reporters shouting] pres. trump: for the 2020 election, i think it is going to hell. people have been seeing that this is going on for so long. this has gone on long before mueller. since webeen going on came down the escalator. this really took place sometime after we came down the escalator, the first lady and myself. i will tell

as wiseman was untruthful and he was caught like with arthur andersen where he lost to the supreme court 9-0. his aides were very untruthful and they put mueller. and they put , they put mueller in a very bad position. his aides put him in a very bad position and if you were ever truthful you would be able to write the truth. go ahead. no, but i am very happy. i haven't called boris but i am very happy that he won. so what happened was the two lovers is a disgrace. but, they had a lot of text messages and mueller illegally deleted those text messages. and they didn't get too much into that because he forgot. he didn't really know, he didn't know too much, he didn't know anything. but they were texting, do not forget they were the ones with just in case we lose we have an insurance policy, this is the same page so that was a very bad situation, what they did and what mueller did, he deleted their text messages back and forth, probably thousands of them, that's a serious problem. >> i think it's going to help us. because everyone sees now that this has been going on for so long. and in all

. >> sean: let me ask you about wiseman. this revelation is huge. this is a guy who lost tens of thousands of jobs, beaten in supreme court. was that hillary clinton's victory party, did all the hiring for mueller. he's for one position, the other position, back to the old position. >> he has a book deal. >> sean: wiseman now, he can write all the books he wants. >> it understands the malevolence of bob mueller hiring a team of partisans on your screen. a long history of getting caught threatening witnesses and hiding evidences. a great book discloses all of his offenses. yet mueller knew this and wanted him to be his chief lead prosecutor. i've written a new book. it's coming out in a couple of months and if the closes astonishing stories about andrew weissmann. >> sean: by the way, tomorrow night we will bring up all the questions we want bob mueller asked. i'm happy. i'm glad he's testifying. surprise you? tune in tomorrow night. a storm brewing in the democratic party. the real speaker, ocasio-cortez, speaker in name only pelosi, the public view

he wasn't questioning wiseman o whoever was doing it. he delegated it. was he more of a figurehead in this investigation? after you saw this performance today was he the figurehead? he came into the office every day, he might have done something, but he did not know anything. >> whether he was or he wasn't, that's what he projected today. it's unfortunate because he's a much more capable person than that. this is the achilles' heel of the investigation. the perception was frontloaded with democrats. he wasn't able to get around that. >> today on the podcast you whe i talked about this, but the political morning console shows that even more democrats now from april through today are saying that this investigation was not handled fairly. that percentage has gone up 15 percentage points. even among democrats, the distrust is growing. this is not going in a good direction for the democrats given the time, effort, and promises. most people are saying let's ge going, let's wrap this up at. >> i think most americans have sense of what happened here. number one

supreme court decision rejected legal theory advanced by wiseman, correct? >> i'm not going to delve into that. >> may i just finish -- may i just finish my answer to say i'm not going to get involved in a discussion on that. i will refer you to that citation that you gave me at the outset for the lengthy discussion on what you're talking about. to the extent i have anything to say about it, it is what we've already put into the report. >> i am reading from your report when discussing this section, and i'll read from the decision of the supreme court, unanimously reversing mr. wiseman when he said, indeed, striking how little culpability the instructions require. for example the jury told even a petitioner honestly and sincerely agreed if lawful the jury could convict. deluded corruptly in that it covered innocent conduct. >> let me say for the record -- >> i have limited time. your report takes the broadest possible reading and applies it to the president's acts. i'm concerned about overcriminalizing conduct by public officials and private citizens alike. t

still mueller still chose wiseman to choose the staffing. and then he subsequently hired a team chock-full of big time democratic donors and lovers, just like him. zero, zero republican hired. mueller will have to answer that question. even one of hillary's former attorneys. and the vice president of the hill, investigative reporter john solomon out with a blockbuster bombshell that sheds light on andrew weissmann's new desperate attempts to find dirt on president trump. and according to john solomon during the first two weeks of the special counsel probe, in other words two weeks into robert mueller being appointed, weissmann almost immediately reached out to ukrainian oligarch with a very general law firm. and generous offer. weissmann promised to make all of the prior charges in the united states go away, just give me any dirt you have on president trump or his family or the campaign. and it even got worse than that, in a lot of different ways, because in a bizarre and totally improper move, weissmann laid out exactly what he was looking

wiseman got caught just like he did with anderson when he left the supreme court nine to nothing. he was very untruthful. not at all. they put mueller in a very bad position, his aides put him in a very bad position and if you are ever truthful -- [inaudible] noah have not but i'm very happy. i have not called boris but i'm very happy that he won. [inaudible question. so what happened, the two offers are a disgrace. they had a lot of text messages and mueller illegally deleted the text messages and they did not get too much into that because he forgot, he did not really know, he didn't know too much, he did not know anything. but they were texting, they were the ones that just in case you should lose we will have an insurance policy. this is the same struck in pay. that was a very, very bad situation. what they did and what mueller did, he deleted the text messages back and forth. probably thousands of them. that is a serious problem. [inaudible question. i think it is going to help us. everyone sees that this thing has been going on for so long in all fairness to mueller, this is

probably from weissberg or wiseman and probably some of the other democrats on his staff. no question about this, who is the report written for? he didn't even try to charge the president with anything. he knew what would happen with the report. bill barr nominated to be attorney general of unisys, during his confirmation hearing in the senate, he said i'm going to release as much of the report as it possibly can. wow! cover-up, reductions, very little. so they are wrong again. robert mueller was not fired. mineral reductions. he says i'm going to reduce as much as i can -- release as much the cancer which is he think and what to the prosecutors think inclusion was it supported hillary clinton and obama, including wiseman was at the hiller clinton victory party, sorry pal, you lost. who was that written for? when this thing was finished, they also knew the democrats took over the house of representatives. they also knew that under article two section 4 democrats are hungry for impeachment. how do we know? the day after the president was elected, donald trump, you're talkin

this was the wiseman investigation he ran this from the beginning and when you see bubbler and that display you know what happened, he did it often he made sure he made sure that robert stone was invested in the middle of the night with swat teams. in paul manafort was put in solitary confinement in an outrageous display across into goodness. while mueller select through this event are beginning to end. and today his ignominious finale shows in the sweep at the hearing. lou: i don't think we should leave out nancy pelosi, i don't think we should leave out chuck schumer. and the democratic party in the democratic national committee that work together and obvious tandem to conceal an election. and the special counsel, new well that there had not been a conspiracy collision with the russians and yet persisted in restraining themselves from revealing the information to the american people which played a significant role, i believe firmly in 2018. >> you left out one group. the main stream media, none of this could've been done without the cooperation of new york times, the washington post and a

david: the reason it was important that wiseman was in charge and not mueller ways he was pro hillary. he was at hillary clinton's wake, if you will. >> the so-called victory night didn't turn out to be so. even bob mueller was challenged on the optics. he wouldn't concede the fact that he never attempted to build a team that would be perceived as legitimate by the american people. president trump was right when he said how do you obstruct something that never happened in the first place. if they didn't collude, what are you obstructing'? he knew the whole point was to digs credit his presidency. he said if i'm going to solve the people's problems, i need a clean slate to do so. david: mr. mueller did have the purview of looking at russia influence. the trump tower meeting ad infinitum with a whole host of subpoenas. but the russian agent who was at the trump tower meeting met before and after fusion gps. he didn't even know what fusion gps was. >> it's shocking. it shows you how difficult bill barr's and michael horowitz's job is. bob mueller testified because he felt like he had to.

from borowitz comes out as an interim accountability staff, he should hold a hearing, he should have wiseman , he should even invite mueller to testify about why he didn't engage with these people, clear conflicts of interest. they should never have been on this case, should have absolutely been precluded from becoming involved in these cases and nothing was involved about it. the reason is weismann went about this from the very beginning, he told mueller i want to be on this, i want to be the one you used. mueller gave him the job. mueller didn't care whether or not he had conflicts. mueller has been absolutely absinthe, a wall -- >> laura: not even a figurehead. if you go ahead know more a figurehead would know more. the standards of conduct, we'll put up the full screen graphic. obtaining advice and approval on ethics related matters. an employee should contact his or her designated ethics officials for advice or approval when the employee is assigned in a matter in which his or her official actions may affect the employee's own financial is stressed or the interest of any person or entit

in the american thinker, they said he was a boss in name only under the mueller brand, andrew wiseman can work with his trump hating cabal of hillary supporters, now the public and see that mueller was at best mister outside, the story turns toward investigating the investigators. where you surprised he didn't have more command of the facts of this given this report bears his name? >> he didn't have command of the facts was at times he was bumbling through and had his deputy trying to assist him what page they were on and you probably saw the clips of asking people to repeat the question. at some points he had his counsel giving him information so he was listening to what was going on, he didn't have command of the facts and the report that has his name on it. what is frustrating for members of the republican party was we were asking him the basis. i asked about the steel dossier. the steel dossiers mentioned in his report, in his investigation. i asked if he interviewed chris steel. i asked at what point during the investigation was it unverified because he stated it is unverified bu

and he has more honor than wiseman and paul manafort and i won't lie to get out of the case. he wanted to say paul manafort was the go-between with the russians. and that is why he basically tortured paul manafort for how many weeks, i don't know. >> laura: rudy come i think all of this and i have to confess most americans don't fow it. but what i'm saying -- absolutely that is the role of secretary general. >> this is the third witness where he was basically, allegedly perjury. >> laura: why was he not brought in on the case? you talk about this for a year and a half. >> how come you hired the counsel for the clinton foundation to investigate donald trump? suppose i was appointed to investigate hillary and i appoint at the counsel for the trump foundation to try to put her in jail. >> laura: apparently, he is preparing behind closed doors. >> mueller, he better be. >> laura: behind closed doors. >> he's been behind closed doors for a year and a half. i never saw him one time. he's like "the wizard of oz." the fact is, that this investigation was a disgrace the way it was con

andrew wiseman starts screaming at him. mueller sat down in the meeting when they were sitting down, wiseman apparently was screaming at him, so my friend turned to mueller and said mr. mueller, i'm sorry i leaked this, you believe in the first amendment, don't you? and mueller literally stood there and looked at him like this and just stared him down. the guy was so scared. so he is in private a pretty tough scary guy, ex-marine. when you're before the kleig lights with all these people, this is not like a great moment for him. neil: people are that way with you. >> how would i do in there? neil: i don't know. i don't think you would be, you know, desperate to come up with words, though. >> no. i would be scared about cursing. neil: yeah. yeah. the first testimony. thank you, my friend. charlie gasparino. if he's right, maybe after 4:00 p.m. as the market closes, the details on all this comes to light. >> advisory setting the details for tomorrow. that's what we hear. neil: meantime, tech is still on a roll and the nasdaq

if angela wiseman couldn't get three people to lie about donald trump, one of them in solitary confinement, i would say he came pretty close to torture, manafort, put him in solitary confinement, died times tell them what to say but he says he gets out of solitary confinement, that's what we call perjury. put into it. these two guys, that blair and schiff, are not operating on the same mental power as much more religious in some ways. if they could do it they aren't going to do it. >> martha: one thing interesting of the questioning side i think a lot of america started to hear things they have never heard before. we've covered both sides of the story throughout the case of the entire thing, the president's side feels there was some sort of fed up, talk about what we believe happens to him. listen to devin nunes and he went through this line of questioning, i watch some of the other channels of process coverage and it's like they never heard of any of these people. >> can you repeat the question? >> whether or not you interviewed steven trey gave dell deck >> those are areas i'm going to s

they were accused of obstructi obstruction, destroy documents among others andrew wiseman, deputy to mr. mueller, he led the effort. arthur anderson went broke, 80000 people lost their jobs in the supreme court reversed the lower court's in a c nine-zero opinion and six, seven, eight pages long and almost perfunctory. but they say and here is wait a minute, you can't just accuse someone of objection because we don't like what they said or that the try to impede. there are elements to describe the not so easy to prove. knowingly dishonest and a corrupt intent. resident of the united states says to the white house counsel, if in fact this is true the president denies it, but says to his white house counsel look, i want you to get hold of the justice department and get rid of mueller because he's conflicted and got a whole bunch of people who are conflicted. how is that obstruction of justice if the president is saying not because he wants to kill investigation but clearly every else he did them straight he did not want to kill the investigation but here's my notes and here's my staff i

. >> when andrew wiseman joined your team, were you aware that bruce fuller, directly briefed the dossier allegations to them in the summer of 2016? >> again, i'm not going to speak to that issue. >> okay. >> before you arrested george papadopoulos in july of 2017, he was given $10,000 in cash in israel. do you know who gave him that cash? >> again, it's outside our gambit and questions such as that should go to the fbi or the department. >> it involved your investigation? >> it involved persons involved in my investigation. >> thank you, sir. >> we will stand in recess for five or ten minutes. please, folks, remain in your seats, allow the director and mr. zebley to exit the chamber. >> the first half of the second part of this day has concluded, about 1:15 minutes or so. robert mueller opened up by trying to clarify about what he earlier said in response to ted lieu from california. the question being, you did not indict donald trump, is that because of the olc, the office of legal counsel stating you cannot indict a sitting president? correct? mueller said, that is correct. he opened u

. >> on january 30th, 2017,wiseman wrote an email to deputy attorney general yates stating i am so proud and in awe, regarding her disobeying a direct order from the president. did he disclose that? >> i'm not going to talk about that. >> is that not a conflict of interest? >> not going to talk about that. >> are you aware that ms. jeannie represented hillary clinton originating in her time as secretary of state. >> yes. >> did you know that before she came on the team? >> no. >> the guy sitting next to you represented justin cooper, a clinton aide, who destroyed one of clinton's mobile devices. you must be aware by now that six of your lawyers donated $12,000 directly to hillary clinton. i'm not even talking about the 49,000 they donated to other democrats. just the donations to the opponent who was the target of your investigation. >> can i speak for a second to the hiring practices? >> sure. >> we strove to hire those individuals that could do the job. i've been in this business for almost 25 years, and in those 25 years, i have not had occasion once to ask somebody about their politi

and wiseman was untruthful and he got caught just like he did with author anderson where he lost in the supreme court 9-0. his aides were very untruthful and they put mueller -- >> -- impeding the investigation -- >> not at all and they put mulener a very bad position. his aides put him in a bad position and if you were ever truthful you would be able to write the truth. >> you have called -- >> so there he is. the president wrapping up an extended question and answer session with reporters on the south lawn of the white house. just as he's getting ready to board marine one to take him to joint base andrews. he's flying off to west virginia later tonight for a political fundraiser. i'm wolf blitzer. welcome to the situation room. we're following lots of breaking news from the white house, the president declaring total victory going on a tirade about the russia investigation and the report of the special counsel robert mueller. the former special counsel, i should say. the president said democrats have hurt themselves badly today. he said that will play out dramatically in the 2020 vote.

installed him and then they load the investigators up with wiseman and a bunch of democrat operatives. they knew they need some guys who will get trump out of there. the republicans and democrats wanted the president out of there, man. they're going to lose their cheap labor. democrats are going to lose their future votes. they didn't want a private sector in there. trump didn't know anybody from washington. see, mueller, he look so old. they just installed this dude. that guy from south carolina was right, they just installed mueller. that's why we haven't heard from him all this time. you know, there seemed to be so much injustice going on, you never heard from mueller until, like, you know, until, like, a month ago. >> all right. that's joe. that is joe in connecticut. on our republican line. just to let you know that the briefing with house speaker nancy pelosi and the chairs of the two committees has now been pushed back to about 5:15 eastern. we're planning on bringing you live coverage. we'll continue to take your calls and comments. 202-748-8920 for democrats. 202-748-8921 for

the --o, why were all everybody on mother's team including wiseman, why was he on mueller's team. and i would like to ask robert mueller personally did he write this report or did wiseman write it. there are several questions that i have about robert mueller. noter one i would like to when he was in charge of the boston field office for the department of justice, why wasn't whitey bulger ever found under his watch. he needs to answer a lot of questions. host: do you think robert mueller is trustworthy? caller: no. i do not. i think he's two-faced. i think he's doing what the democrats wanted him to do. and i would love for the republicans to get on him tomorrow. why didn't you question one democrat? host: what do you take from that? >> i don't know the party officially ancient -- party affiliations of everyone questioned. agreement was to look at connections and possible election interference and in the wordsusion of the letter from rosenstein. between the russians and the trump campaign peered given that it was a republican campaign one would expect that he would be talking to a

and it's that hot debate am aware was wiseman on this? it does seem such an obvious move. and i do think it will be the sort of first count of criticism against him in history . gives a possibility that we may never know some very important things. >> on the logistics, by the way, the deputies are going to be at the end of the day and theory. no one is supposed to know. but in practice, we just expect that their content will leak -- no party has a premium on leaking. how is that going to work, matt? >> i don't know. there's a couple was a could do a. 1, they could have a non- transcribed interview, where they just talk to the deputies only get whatever they want to. the other with a can do it is how they have done it with interviews with say, andy donaldson and hope hicks with a do the interview behind closed doors. they transcribe it. and the make that transfer public. the day after, a couple days after. not sure see the point of that. the purpose of congressional investigations, i think typically they have two purposes. one is fact-finding. 2 is public illumination. the
