robert mueller testifies before house judiciary committee
in some of these matters, court rules or judicial orders limit the disclosure of information to protect the fairness of the proceedings. that proscess other than the criminal justice system, is that impeachment? >> and yet the president repeatedly expressed his displeasure at sessions' decision to follow those ethics rules to recuse himself from recusal of that investigation. thank you. campaign finance reports later showed that -- excuse me. >> quite probably, yes.
>> i rely on the report.
>> thank you, mr. chairman.
>> the gentlemen from florida. our team would not leak or take any other actions to compromise the integrity of our work.
>> correct. that's a matter of public record.
>> but despite don mcgahn and the department of justice guidance, around may 23rd, 2017, the president, quote, prodded mcgahn to complain to deputy attorney general rosenstein about these supposed conflicts of interest. >> i would have to refer you to the report on that. >> and is the attorney general supposed to be the attorney general of the united states of america or the consigliere for the president? they are in our corner.
i counted -- >> again, i have no idea. and denied whether anyone on his campaign had those conversations with stone. [indiscernible] >> idiot. not every prosecutor done that and certainly one on a witch hunt. >> collusion is not a specific offense. can't he fire you without any reason? >> i'm not going to get into what was in mr. comey's mind. in writing the report, we stated the results of our investigation with precision.
>> they have a different case. >> i'm not going to get into that. >> true. >> i'm not going to speak to that. >> director mueller, that doesn't happen in america. >> no. i yield the remainder of my time to jim jordan. >> director mueller, i thank you for being here. >> as i said before and i'll say again, it's not my purview. i think we can all draw our own conclusions opini conclusions. i've got to say, it looks like volume 2 is mostly regurgitated press stories. fair enough. >> and how essential is that cooperation to any efforts to combat crime? >> director mueller, you wrote in your report that you quote, determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment, end quote. >> and the source of that is? >> okay. there will be a lot of discuss today and great frustration throughout the can untcountry t you couldn't answer any questions about the origins of this cherade. it was a continuous involvement of don mcgahn responding to the president's -- >> and he did not want to put himself in the middle of that.
i'd like to now turn to the final element of the obstruction of justice. rep. collins: thank you. >> your report does not recommend impeachment, does it?
>> correct. >> and it's an unsuccessful attempt to obstruct justice is still a crime, is that correct? >> that's true. he points this out in 193. mr. denied and also falsely stated and also omitted. republican and democratic federal prosecutors have red your report and said anyone but the president who committed those acts would be charged with obstruction of justice? for example, i am unable to address questions about the initial opening of the fbi russian investigation which occurred months before my appointment. >> that would constitute, evidence of a nexus to official proceeding because a grand jury investigation is an official proceeding, correct? to be frank, you've performed as most of us expected. director mueller, thank you for being here. >> okay. it's clear that the president wanted former attorney general sessions to violate the justice department ethics rules by taking over your investigation and improperly interfering with it to protect himself and his campaign.
you didn't include that in the report and i assume -- >> that's a matter being handled by others at the department of justice. >> personal privilege. then in a footnote, a small footnote, number 7 page 15 of volume 2 of your report, you wrote -- not for the truth of the information contained in the stories but rather to place candidate trump's response to those stories and context.
closed quote. in other words, crazy stuff. it seems to be that when glen simpson met with russians, nothing. >> and mr. mcgann was an important witness in that investigation, wasn't he? to work quietly, thoroughly, and with integrity so that the public would have full confidence in the outcome. no president should be able to escape investigation by abusing his power, but that's what you testified to in your report.
