WEBVTT - St. Mueller's Self-Righteous Smoke Screen 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:16.239 You are entering the freedom hunt. The Special Council decides 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:19.440 to have one last shot at the President before he 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:21.560 has a mic drop moment and says that he's going 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:23.720 to ride off into the sunset. No longer part of 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:27.840 the DOJ Not so fast, Muller. We've got a breakdown 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:30.160 what he said, what it really tells us, and how 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:34.200 it certainly shows that this was always a get Trump operation. 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:36.520 We've got that and a whole munch, a whole month 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:39.440 bunch more stuff coming up on the buck Sexton Show. 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.600 This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:47.800 mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.960 Make no mistake, You're a great American again. The buck 0:00:54.000 --> 0:01:03.680 Sexton Show begins now. The first volume of the report 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:08.520 details numerous efforts emanating from Russia to influence the election. 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:13.000 This volume includes a discussion of the Trump campaign's response 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:17.319 to this activity, as well as our conclusion that there 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:21.080 was insufficient evidence to charge a broader conspiracy. Now, I 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.039 hope I expect this to be the only time that 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.920 I will speak to you in this manner. I am 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:29.600 making that decision myself. No one has told me whether 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.720 I can or should testify or speak further about this matter. 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.720 There has been discussion about an appearance before Congress. Any 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.319 testimony from this office would not go beyond our report, 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:46.240 and the report is my testimony. I would not provide 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:50.480 information beyond that which is already public in any appearance 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:57.720 before Congress. Welcome through the Bus Accident Show. Finally we 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:02.520 got another another Muller based news cycle to dive into together. 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.840 It was only a matter of time. You thought we 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:10.000 were through with the mullerisms, with the Special Council era. 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:15.600 But no, Now, sure enough today Bob Muller, by his 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.440 own admission, then you heard him there, just said I 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:18.919 decided this is what I was gonna do. I was 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:23.000 going to stand in front of American people and talk 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.960 about the report that has been out now for it's 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.960 in its second month. It's been out for quite a while. 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:31.800 I've read it. I'm sure many of you have read it. 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.920 It's well known what's in the report. What exactly does 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:40.040 Mueller think he's accomplishing today. Let's work backwards on this, 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:44.760 because first that the Special Council just declares, oh, well, 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.880 I wouldn't tell you anything anyway, and so there's essentially 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.600 no need to subpoena me tells us all we need 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:56.960 to know about one the self regard and real arrogance 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:03.200 that Muller has. But also is going to be very 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.840 interesting when we see journalists who but a few days ago, 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:10.760 we're claiming that Bar not showing up for the latest 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:16.240 circus on Capitol Hell, for the shenanigans that they're going 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.400 to perpetrate against him, and this all this talk about 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.840 how Bar might have to go to prison, that Democrats 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:26.560 were playing, playing publicly for their bass. It's just an embarrassment. 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.320 They should be embarrassed. They're not, but they should be embarrassed. 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.800 But now those same people the voices for how we 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:39.400 need transparency, we need honesty, we need accountability. Bar must testify. Well, 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.360 if Bar must testify, why shouldn't the special counsel himself. 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.280 I heard voices on the left who were calling for 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:52.880 the Mueller report to be added to by Mueller himself. 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.000 Now that Mueller has said he doesn't want to, what 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.080 are we to make of that, or that it's not necessary, 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:03.040 he won't add anything. Let's see other government officials don't 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.760 get that. They don't get that ability. You don't get 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.280 to be another executive branch employee of the presidents and say, 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.920 you know what, Congress, I know you think you have 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:16.159 oversight of me as a government official, senior government but nah, 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:21.839 not really, you don't get to make that call. Oh 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:26.200 just watch how quickly the left will we'll turn doing 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.680 about face on this and they'll act like we don't 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:32.160 have the Internet and Google and can't see what they 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:35.480 wrote and said a week ago, and the claims they 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:39.000 were making about bar and what was gonna remember they 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:43.000 were they were talking openly about throwing the attorney general 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.000 in prison, about having the sergeant at arms of the 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.039 Congress go and arrest him if he did not show 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.560 up and testify. But now Mueller gets to say, yeah, 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.120 I'm just gonna resign and leave. This is all I 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:58.200 got to say, see you later. Nonsense, complete nonsense. But 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.240 then on this point of inch insufficient evidence, I mean, 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.560 the big line here is that you know, if they could, 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.719 if if we could have cleared the president, we would have. 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.320 I mean, that's a paraphrase, but that was the big 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.000 takeaway from today. If we could have cleared the president 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:17.000 of mis conduct, we would have. That is not the 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:21.919 job of the prosecutor. And that even more importantly, is 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:26.560 not the legal standard that this society operates under in 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:32.039 any respect ever it is. It is not the government's role. 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:36.839 It is not the government's right to say you, sir, 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.400 should or ma'am should have your reputation ruined and should 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:46.920 have adverse consequences because we've been unable to prove that 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.159 you are one hundred percent innocent of this thing we 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.240 think you might have done. No, no, no, You should 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:58.400 only suffer consequences, including reputational consequences, if the government believes 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:05.320 that they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:10.440 are guilty of a criminal offense. This is the legal 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:16.240 foundation upon which our society is built. Muller is kicking 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:20.440 at the load bearing walls of the rule of law, 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.840 and the Democrats and the media lackeys are cheering him 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:30.960 while he does it. Here's actually exactly how he said 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:34.600 at playclip twenty three. The report describes the results and 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:40.000 analysis of our obstruction of justice investigation involving the President. 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:46.080 The order appointing me special counsel authorized us to investigate 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:52.160 actions that could obstruct the investigation, and we conducted that investigation, 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.840 and we kept the Office of the Acting Attorney General 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.600 apprised of the progress of our work, and as at 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.960 fourth the report after that investigation, if we had had 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.719 confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:11.160 we would have said so. We did, not, however, make 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.360 a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime. 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:21.840 What kind of double speak is this from a seasoned 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.440 prosecutor and you know, super g man government man over 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:29.400 the FBI. If we could have said he was innocent, 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:33.360 he would have. This is a slimy, roundabout way of saying, 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.720 I mean, he's kind of guilty. We can't prove he's guilty, 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:40.160 but he's kind of guilty. And that then brings us 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:45.320 to the purpose behind this whole thing, the transparent and 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:52.120 blatant and obvious purpose for the Muller pressor today, for 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:59.960 the Muller pronouncement from on High of Special Counsel Landia. 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:05.800 This was meant to force the hand of Democrats who 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:09.640 have been doing this whole punch's pilot routine over impeachment. 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:14.560 Shall we shouldn't we? Who will? Who won't? Good idea? 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:19.280 Bad ideas? Someone else make the call. Mueller is clearly 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:23.920 saying to the Democrats, this is on you to take now. 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:28.520 I did my part for the anti Trump left. I 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.040 did my part for the deep state and the establishment. 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:38.200 Now it's on you, Pelosi and company to finish this 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:42.240 hatchet job, which is exactly now what I think is 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.480 going to is going to transpire. I'll get more into 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:51.199 why I think impeachment now is essentially inevitable later on 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:56.520 in the show that I just wanted to share a 0:08:56.520 --> 0:09:00.600 little more on on how outrageous what happened today really is. 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:06.080 It was completely unnecessary. I mean, in one moment, Muller 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.960 is telling us let the report speak for itself, as 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:14.040 he's speaking about the report unnecessarily and in a fashion 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.839 that is clearly meant to undermine the president, to hurt 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:23.480 the president. I mean, there's really no serious question about that. 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.520 I mean, this was meant to destroy the President of 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.600 the United States, or to open up a pathway to 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.360 destroy him through impeachment. And they know he won't be 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.439 removed from office, but they're hoping that impeachment will be 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:43.120 the necessary ingredient, the special weapon, the secret weapon that 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.320 can stop the president from winning re election. That's what 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.760 all of this is, All that stuff, all the lectures 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:51.920 about all the rule of law and the sanctity of 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:56.000 our democracy, and it was all just a smokescreen. It 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.800 was a cover. It was sanctimony from the Democrats and 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:07.760 and their establishment allies. It was self righteous blather meant 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.599 to cover for what was really going on, which was 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:14.640 a get Trump operation. This is now the latest stage 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:18.520 of the soft coup attempt against the President United States. 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:22.239 It is disgraceful, and Muller showed us who he really 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:28.120 is today beyond a reasonable doubt. He's trying to take 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.720 down Trump. He has been all along. And the question 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.400 I really want him to have to answer is when 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.080 did he know this investigation was a farce, how early on? 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.560 And why did he continue it? We had more coming up. 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:44.360 Teams stayed with me. They interviewed five hundred people, They 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.760 spent millions and millions of dollars. They put several people 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.920 in solitary confinement for a length of time, which frankly 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:55.720 should be an American. Then find it. What are they 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.520 complaining about. They had all the resources, They had a 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.360 whole bunch of very smart left lawyers, all of them 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:05.800 dislike Trump. They went all out and they didn't get anything. Now, 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.240 at some point in the hunt, you got to decide 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.720 that there's no deer in the forest, and the fact 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.520 is they couldn't prove anything, and they ought to relax 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.680 and just say, you know, and the absence of proof 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:23.680 in America, you are innocent. Therefore, by definition President Trump 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:29.360 is innocent. Ah. But you see, while Nude is completely correct, here, 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:36.280 democrats are willing to turn centuries of American jurisprudence, and 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:38.880 in fact, going back even further than that, to turn 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.600 English common law and the basis for rule of law 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:47.320 in the Western world on its head, to suggest that 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:54.080 you should face consequences because a prosecutorial body was unable 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.680 to prove you did not do something as improve your 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:03.200 innocence to prove a negative. Democrats have been lecturing us 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:07.199 for a long time now in the Trump era over 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:13.120 just how important our institutions are and how Trump is 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:16.560 a danger to those institutions and we must be on 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.760 guard to protect them in the era of Trump because 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.400 of all the terrible things that he's done, and Trump 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.880 is so awful and he undermines our democracy. They say, well, 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.840 you know, our rule of law is essential to our democracy. 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.880 And what you have here with what went with what 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:36.240 Muller did today, and the chorus of left wing partisans 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.439 who are going out of their way to try and 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.440 praise what he has done, and now use this not 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:47.040 just to say that they agree with Muller's bizarre, counterproductive, 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:51.160 and disgraceful press conference, but that they are going to 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.880 try to capitalize on it. They're going to try to 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:57.280 weaponize the Muller press conference and use this as a 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:04.920 jumping off point for impeachment proceedings. That tells us a lot, 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:10.040 doesn't it. They do not respect the rule of law. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:14.640 There is no there is no fundamental, principled sense of 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:18.240 respect for the rule of law. They just pretend when 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:23.120 it is convenient. They believe in our institutions when they 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:28.040 support the power of the left. They believe in our 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:33.560 government apparatus when it's doing their bidding. The law is 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.520 the law when it's going their way. But at the 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.599 moment any of that changes, they will cast it all aside. 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:44.360 And you see this with the dare I say unprecedented 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:48.319 actions of some of these anti Trump partisans. Notice always 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.120 say anti Trump partisans. I know that some of them 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.880 were formally Republicans, but some of the people who hate 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.040 Trump the most are in fact other former or even 0:13:56.040 --> 0:14:00.280 current Republicans. Look at Justin Amash running around saying that 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:04.840 Trump should be impeached. What is that guy thinking. I 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.720 think I know he's thinking. He's just going to start 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.280 making friends on the other side. As I've told you, 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:13.840 better book deals, better, better TV hits. You know, it's 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.800 it's sweet stuff on the left. If you want to 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.080 sell out, be it progressive. Oh man, there's some there's 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:20.880 some good eating over there on the left. You know, 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:25.480 the barbecue on the left is tasty. But on the 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.960 right you have to be prepared to deal with those 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.800 who will constantly fight dirty, and Muller is in that camp. 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.400 This is it's unprecedented what James Comy did, for example, 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.440 to stand up and say that no federal prosecutor would 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.560 charge Hillary Clinton. That was not his job, that was 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.120 not his call, that was not true, and it was 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:51.080 bizarre that he did it. But we're to ignore that, 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:55.080 We're to think that Comy there's nothing about him that 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:59.240 is worthy of of repudiation. There's nothing about him that 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.160 should give us concern when it comes to the actions 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.640 he took when he was the most or second most powerful, 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:09.720 perhaps law enforcement officer in the country. That Comey would 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.840 take memos from his time as FBI director and use 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:17.240 them for partisan purposes and leak them to a newspaper. 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:20.400 We're not supposed to take notice of that either. That's 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:23.360 just a thing that happened that we are to ignore. 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.200 I'm sorry, I don't plan on ignoring it. I don't. 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:31.640 I don't accept that. And now Mueller Muller has also 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:37.640 engaged in unprecedented, bizarre and I think very telling behaviors, 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.000 the decisions about who to prosecute and who not to 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.080 Tony Podesta, Yeah, he can be a foreign agent and 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:47.480 not register, and that's fine. But if you were a 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.400 Trump person or you didn't register, you got to go 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:55.440 to prison. You know. The way that he chose to 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:59.440 not choose the decision to not decide about whether the 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:05.040 president the law, that was very obviously a break from 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:08.160 prosecutorial precedent. That's not the way it's supposed to work. 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.840 He should have said, we found sufficient evidence for charges. 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.280 We leave it to the Justice Department whether those charges 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.000 can be brought. But we we either did or did 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.200 not find sufficient evidence for it. That's it. A crime 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:23.040 was committed or not. That's what the prosecutor says. Not, well, 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.080 you know, it could have gone either way, just FYI, 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:30.240 but you know, let's just leave it there. Unacceptable and unprecedented, 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.120 never heard have you ever heard, I've never heard of 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.640 a federal prosecutor doing that. Federal prosecutors I've talked to, 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:40.080 I've never heard of a federal prosecutor doing that. And 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:45.720 then this press conference today, What was this all about? 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:51.520 What did he add to our understanding here? What was 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:55.600 what was the information that was necessary for him to 0:16:55.640 --> 0:17:01.640 share with the American people that came from this? Ah, 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:05.520 this was not a gentle nudge, but a shove, a 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:12.240 public shove toward impeachment proceedings. This was Muller who should 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:18.080 have absolutely no inclination and certainly not a public protestation 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:24.439 of his desire for a impeachment proceeding should not happen. 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:30.680 This should not have happened, But it did, and it 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:34.399 was a very deliberate decision. You know. They he wrote 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.399 out the statement, or at staff run out the statement 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:42.000 for him. Muller did not seem like the avenging superhero 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.440 of the establishment that so many have held him out 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:49.280 to be. It seemed very kind of you know, it 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:53.520 seemed like a man who's most fierce days are long 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.520 since gone. I can tell you that although he does, 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:57.080 he did wield the tremendous amount of power as a 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:03.040 special prosecutor. But the precedents get broken, the decisions get 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:06.920 made that are inexplicable, and they're always by these senior 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:12.760 government officials to harm Trump. They never break precedent in 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:16.639 his favor. Right, They never bend the rules, They never 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.919 do what they can, They never do what's you know, 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:23.720 what's in their discretion, but perhaps on the very edge 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.560 of it to benefit Trump. It's always to hurt Trump 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:31.040 and help his rivals, help his opposition. This is not 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:36.600 a coincidence, This is not an accident. This is by design. Mueller, 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:40.840 my friends, is part of the hashtag resistance, and he 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.720 always has been. Both Komi and Mueller are trying to 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.800 have it both ways. They'd like to be statesman, they'd 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:52.080 like for everybody to respect them. But in Mueller's case, 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:54.920 he had two full years, he had a huge team. 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.040 They wrote a report. Now, if they can't get their 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:01.119 report right, I don't know why they're coming back later 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:03.200 to tell us what it is they wish they might 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:07.280 have said. And I think Mueller's better off. Frankly, it's over, 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:11.000 go home. Relax. In Comy's case, I think he's scared 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:14.359 to death of what Attorney General bar is doing and 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:15.960 the fact that a lot of stuff is going to 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:20.160 be a come public that's going to make Komey's directorship 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.159 look really, really bad. Well, I don't think it's much 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:27.200 of a reaction. It just repeats the report. He had 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.600 no evidence or insufficient evidence, which is the same thing 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:36.400 for a prosecutor of collusion. And although he couldn't reach 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:40.719 a decision on obstruction, that's a decision. When a prosecutor 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:43.800 can't reach a decision, that's the decision. So there's no 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.879 case on obstruction, there's no case on collusion, and the 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:50.200 report is forged in thirty pages of opinion. The reality 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:53.480 is and he altered his opinion on collusion to opinion 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:57.680 on structure. Opinion on collusion was there is no case. 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:02.640 His opinion on obstruction was that he couldn't conclude that's 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:09.280 the president committed of structure. I gotta say, I think 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:14.679 that Mueller really hurt himself today. I think that for 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:18.719 those of us who have all along known that you know, 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:21.840 it's more complicated than you know. He's not just doing 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.800 the Democrats dirty work. For them. I think that Bob 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:26.879 Muller really believes that he's doing a great service to 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:30.800 the country by fighting dirty against Trump. I believe that. 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:34.199 I think that he treats this like he's going up 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:37.680 against a mafia kingpin. And if that means he's who's 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:41.359 very guilty, you know, in this case, it's Trump. And 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:43.800 if that means he's got to plant a little evidence 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:46.679 or play a little too rough with the jury or 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:48.720 whatever it is, he's going to do it. And that's 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:51.840 been his approach all along. That's that's what I've always thought, 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:56.480 And what you see today, I believe, just hammers that home. 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:01.919 What the heck was this all about today? What was 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:05.119 going on there? What does he really think has been done? 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:08.119 Other than well, I think maybe he did it. He 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:13.760 did accomplish the goal. The goal was to establish in 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:16.119 front of the whole country that the purpose that this 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:19.120 was really all about impeachment all along, that there were 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:21.800 never going to be any charges brought against the President 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:24.760 United States, no matter what happened here. I still think 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:28.280 that's a very weak argument, though, because there's nothing stopping 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:32.400 Muller from saying, if we were able to bring charges, 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:37.000 we would have brought charges that is not what he said. 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.560 And I think and this is an idea will revisit 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:43.560 a little later in the show with Kamala Harris. But 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:47.360 I mean, I think that the reason that they want 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:49.800 to keep this broad and open because if they pick 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:53.440 any specific charge, they'd have to defend whether that's whether 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:56.200 that's a reasonable charge to bring against the present meaning 0:21:56.200 --> 0:22:00.280 a specific act. You know, was it firing James Comey? 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:03.359 Are they really because if they said the most egregious, 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:05.600 the most obvious thing that he did, that that Trump 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:08.360 did that's illegal, is firing James Comey, then we could 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:11.480 all look at that and come away with that's not illegal. 0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:14.720 That's not obstruction. It's this constitutional right to fire the 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.800 fire James coming for any reason or no reason. So 0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:21.680 what's really the what's the obstruction? Why don't we ever 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:25.480 hear about the act of obstruction? They say ten times? 0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:29.960 Ten times? Okay, what's the worst one. But I'll revisit 0:22:30.000 --> 0:22:32.800 this this point later on in the show with you. 0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:36.600 One other thing that came up in this uh kind 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:39.880 of bizarre press conference, and well we got Sean Davis 0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:41.960 from the Federalists joining us in just a few minutes 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:45.000 to talk about this. But one other thing that came 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:52.119 up was that the Special Counsel Robert Mueller praised the 0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:55.680 Attorney General, which is I'm sure not something that you're 0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:57.720 gonna hear on MSNBC tonight. They're not going to spend 0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:02.160 time on this because the Attorney General has been slandered. 0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:05.959 I mean, he has been slammed and undermined and degraded, 0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:07.840 and they've done all this stuff trying to make the 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:10.760 Attorney General in the United States look bad because they 0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:13.520 view him not just as a they say he's a 0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:15.880 Trump partisan. The real problem is that he's both an 0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:20.840 effective effective in the role of Attorney General for this administration, 0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:24.040 knows the law and is super smart, knows how this 0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:29.840 game is played. And also they're trying to blunt the 0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:34.040 weaponry so to speak, that barn will have at his 0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:37.680 disposal when the Inspector General report comes out. That's what 0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:40.400 this is really all about. That's why they've gone after 0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:45.720 him so hard. But Muller had some words of praise 0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:49.720 for the Attorney General that we should remind ourselves of 0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:51.840 and I'll explain why in a moment, But let's hear 0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:57.399 from Bob Muller himself. Play nine. At one point in time, 0:23:57.480 --> 0:24:00.000 I requested that certain portions of the report be released, 0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:04.400 east the Attorney General preferred to make that and preferred 0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:08.000 to make the entire report public all at once. And 0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:12.399 we appreciate that the Attorney General made the report largely public, 0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:15.560 and I certainly not question the Attorney General's good faith 0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:21.360 in that decision. Wait, but I thought Barr was engaged 0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:23.720 in a cover up. I thought Barr was terrible, and 0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:26.440 oh he he should go to prison. And this is 0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:30.000 what the Democrats had been saying. And Muller came forward. 0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:32.919 He's like, look, I wanted there to be and it 0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:35.400 was this. It's clearly because he wanted the most damaging 0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:37.320 narrative possible for Trump. But he says, luck, okay, I 0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:40.840 wanted stuff released earlier. But if we're gonna never mind, 0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:44.480 be fair, just be operating in reality, we have to 0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:46.640 take note of the fact that the Attorney General did 0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:50.400 not have to release almost the full report and did 0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:54.280 the Attorney General did allow for a lot of transparency 0:24:54.359 --> 0:25:00.800 and did essentially open up a massive taxpayer funded Democrat 0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:04.960 opo research effort against the sitting president of the United States, 0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:13.480 leveraging federal law leveraging federal investigative tactics and procedures to 0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:17.040 do so. So, you know, I just think that you 0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:20.000 should go back and try to remember some of the 0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:23.359 nastiest things said about bar and who said them. Who 0:25:23.400 --> 0:25:25.480 were the people that were claiming that Bar was you 0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:28.199 know Pelosi. Pelosi for example, even today is saying that, 0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:31.040 you know, the Attorney General thinks, and Kamala Harris will 0:25:31.080 --> 0:25:34.760 say the Attorney General thinks that he really is working 0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:39.000 for the president and not for the American people. This 0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:42.639 is all just rhetoric, and it's it's all noise and nonsense. 0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:48.520 But ultimately I think that Mueller really this was Mueller's 0:25:49.280 --> 0:25:52.600 Avenati moment in terms of the remember the Kavanaugh hearings. 0:25:52.640 --> 0:25:55.200 It was when Avenati came along with that third accuser, 0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:59.800 sweat Nick, where I went from, I don't believe these women. 0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:02.720 This is a political hit. To Gosh Jarnett, this is 0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:06.080 the most obvious, slimiest, most disgusting political hit I have 0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:09.200 ever been. Anyone who doesn't realize it is either blinded 0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:13.040 by partisanship or is a moron worth that now with 0:26:13.200 --> 0:26:16.560
