Rep. Cohen: Barr Is Trump’s Bulldog That’s Why We Want To See Mueller’s Report

RUSH TRANSCRIPT I want ░░░░░░░░ bring in now congressman ░░░░░░░░ Cohen a Tennessee Democrat ░░░░░░░░ is also a member ░░░░░░░░ the judiciary thank you ░░░░░░░░ much I want to ░░░░░░░░ your reaction of what ░░░░░░░░ just heard from your ░░░░░░░░ colleague Do Democrats need ░░░░░░░░ reconsider further investigations or ░░░░░░░░ more judicious about what ░░░░░░░░ re investigating when it ░░░░░░░░ to this president No ░░░░░░░░ think we need to ░░░░░░░░ and the main thing ░░░░░░░░ need is we need ░░░░░░░░ full Mueller report You ░░░░░░░░ the Mueller report which ░░░░░░░░ really the Barr analysis ░░░░░░░░ Mueller report would give ░░░░░░░░ what he had on ░░░░░░░░ which might not have ░░░░░░░░ guilt beyond a reasonable ░░░░░░░░ in the mind of ░░░░░░░░ Mueller and apparently it ░░░░░░░░ t But it might ░░░░░░░░ show evidence of conspiracy ░░░░░░░░ areas we could go ░░░░░░░░ in investigations But the ░░░░░░░░ thing is obstruction of ░░░░░░░░ And you know he ░░░░░░░░ that it did not ░░░░░░░░ the president I d ░░░░░░░░ to see what proof ░░░░░░░░ had and I d ░░░░░░░░ to know from Mr ░░░░░░░░ why he determined that ░░░░░░░░ was not obstruction of ░░░░░░░░ You know he s ░░░░░░░░ a very unusual and ░░░░░░░░ opinion that the president ░░░░░░░░ cannot be convicted of ░░░░░░░░ of justice because he ░░░░░░░░ the president and he ░░░░░░░░ do what he wants ░░░░░░░░ do unless he suborns ░░░░░░░░ So to what end ░░░░░░░░ when you have to ░░░░░░░░ end for all of ░░░░░░░░ Well the end is ░░░░░░░░ we have to do ░░░░░░░░ and we have to ░░░░░░░░ if our laws need ░░░░░░░░ be changed to protect ░░░░░░░░ country from another foreign ░░░░░░░░ in our election It ░░░░░░░░ shown and Mr Mueller ░░░░░░░░ it in his report ░░░░░░░░ the Russians did interfere ░░░░░░░░ our election and attempted ░░░░░░░░ change the outcome You ░░░░░░░░ I saw President Trump ░░░░░░░░ today there are some ░░░░░░░░ evil people who have ░░░░░░░░ some bad bad things ░░░░░░░░ our country Yeah the ░░░░░░░░ And he hasn t ░░░░░░░░ concerned in fact he ░░░░░░░░ been defending Vladimir Putin ░░░░░░░░ saying Putin said he ░░░░░░░░ t do it I ░░░░░░░░ t see any reason ░░░░░░░░ he did He s ░░░░░░░░ Vladimir Putin He s ░░░░░░░░ supported his intelligence officials ░░░░░░░░ said the Russians interfered ░░░░░░░░ our elections That s ░░░░░░░░ we need to see ░░░░░░░░ the Russians did it ░░░░░░░░ they did change laws ░░░░░░░░ necessary to try to ░░░░░░░░ more effective in ferreting ░░░░░░░░ foreign invaders to our ░░░░░░░░ process and protect it ░░░░░░░░ there may be other ░░░░░░░░ we need to see ░░░░░░░░ might need to be ░░░░░░░░ Do you think that ░░░░░░░░ in the report I ░░░░░░░░ in the letter it ░░░░░░░░ out it talked about ░░░░░░░░ a couple of instances ░░░░░░░░ Russia interfered in the ░░░░░░░░ Do you think from ░░░░░░░░ report which essentially it ░░░░░░░░ mention that but it ░░░░░░░░ essentially about a coordination ░░░░░░░░ conspiracy that you re ░░░░░░░░ to gain that information ░░░░░░░░ I suspect it was ░░░░░░░░ counterintelligence investigation and through ░░░░░░░░ you might pick up ░░░░░░░░ lot of ways in ░░░░░░░░ the Russians were able ░░░░░░░░ get their information who ░░░░░░░░ got it from and ░░░░░░░░ they did to plant ░░░░░░░░ in the American social ░░░░░░░░ Mm hmm And some ░░░░░░░░ that may be known ░░░░░░░░ some of it may ░░░░░░░░ But people paid for ░░░░░░░░ Mueller report The people ░░░░░░░░ to see it And ░░░░░░░░ Congress needs to see ░░░░░░░░ because we don t ░░░░░░░░ what s in there ░░░░░░░░ what Mueller said All ░░░░░░░░ know is what Bob ░░░░░░░░ said and we know ░░░░░░░░ Barr was hired by ░░░░░░░░ Trump to be his ░░░░░░░░ Cohn and to be ░░░░░░░░ Roy Cohn means his ░░░░░░░░ his bulldog I have ░░░░░░░░ short time left here ░░░░░░░░ the president s attorney ░░░░░░░░ sekulow says that he ░░░░░░░░ oppose any move to ░░░░░░░░ the president s written ░░░░░░░░ to Mueller public What ░░░░░░░░ will Congress take to ░░░░░░░░ this and the entire ░░░░░░░░ public Do you want ░░░░░░░░ of it to be ░░░░░░░░ Well I know that ░░░░░░░░ s certain certain parts ░░░░░░░░ it might be and ░░░░░░░░ much of it but ░░░░░░░░ of it might have ░░░░░░░░ and methods I don ░░░░░░░░ know in the counterintelligence ░░░░░░░░ Obviously we wouldn t ░░░░░░░░ any of that to ░░░░░░░░ public There is grand ░░░░░░░░ testimony but we believe ░░░░░░░░ s easily obtainable It ░░░░░░░░ to go through a ░░░░░░░░ but we think that ░░░░░░░░ certainly obtainable and the ░░░░░░░░ would allow us to ░░░░░░░░ that material I don ░░░░░░░░ think it s going ░░░░░░░░ be difficult for us ░░░░░░░░ see most all of ░░░░░░░░ The executive privilege they ░░░░░░░░ going to exert as ░░░░░░░░ executive privilege as possible ░░░░░░░░ they don t want ░░░░░░░░ to see it either ░░░░░░░░ said it was better ░░░░░░░░ they expected Giuliani said ░░░░░░░░ had a report to ░░░░░░░░ the report of the ░░░░░░░░ counsel because they expected ░░░░░░░░ really bad to come ░░░░░░░░ They know what happened ░░░░░░░░ re the best evidence ░░░░░░░░ know what they did ░░░░░░░░ when they know what ░░░░░░░░ did thought it was ░░░░░░░░ to be worse and ░░░░░░░░ they had a report ░░░░░░░░ their own to counter ░░░░░░░░ special counsel s report ░░░░░░░░ they thought was going ░░░░░░░░ be damaging then we ░░░░░░░░ there is something there ░░░░░░░░ thank you very much ░░░░░░░░ appreciate it You re ░░░░░░░░ don.
