  • ♪ >> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY.

  • WE'RE BACK WITH ONE OF THE LEAD PROSECUTORS FOR THE MUELLER

  • INVESTIGATION AND AUTHOR OF "WHERE LAW ENDS," ANDREW

  • WEISSMANN.

  • THE FINAL REPORT DID NOT CONCLUDE THAT THE PRESIDENT

  • BROKE NEW LAWS, BUT IT ALSO SPECIFICALLY DID NOT CONCLUDE

  • THE PRESIDENT HADN'T BROKEN ANY LAWS.

  • >> SON THAT CLEAR TO YOU?

  • >> Stephen: YES.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) YOU WERE ON THE INSIDE.

  • YOU KNOW, THIS ISN'T AN OFFICIAL REPORT.

  • THIS IS JUST US SITTING ON TWO BAR STOOLS.

  • DID THE PRESIDENT COMMIT ANY CRIMES?

  • >> THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER WE SHOULD JUST

  • COME OUT AND SAY IT IN THE REPORT AS OPPOSED TO SAYING THE

  • PHRASE THAT YOU JUST SAID, WHICH IS VERY CONVOLUTED.

  • MY VIEW, MY PERSONAL VIEW IS THAT ANY PROSECUTOR WORTH THEIR

  • SALT -- HOPEFULLY I'M ONE OF THEM -- WOULD SAY THAT THE

  • PRESIDENT OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE.

  • >> Stephen: SO WHEN BARR WENT OUT THERE WITH HIS FOUR-PAGE

  • SUMMARY OF YOUR VOLUMINOUS REPORT, DID YOU KNOW THAT HE WAS

  • GOING TO ABSOLUTELY SANDBAG THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?

  • BECAUSE I READ A LOT OF YOUR REPORT AND YOU DO STATE IN THERE

  • TEAM STATES IN THERE IN THE NAME OF MR. MUELLER -- THAT IF HE

  • WASN'T PRESIDENT, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN PROSECUTED, NOT SO MANY

  • WORDS BUT DEFINITELY IN THAT MEANING.

  • WHAT DID IT FEEL LIKE TO HEAR YOU GET SOLD UP THE RIVER BY

  • BARR?

  • >> GOING BACK TO YOUR FIRST QUESTION, THAT'S WHERE LAW

  • ENDED.

  • >> Stephen: WHEN BARR STEPPED OUT THERE.

  • >> YEP.

  • THAT WAS REALLY SOUL CRUSHING.

  • >> Stephen: WELL, IF THE PRESIDENT LOSES IN NOVEMBER,

  • WOULD IT BE REASONABLE FOR HIM TO BE PROSECUTED?

  • >> COMPLICATED QUESTION.

  • IT WOULD BE REASONABLE, BUT, ON THE ONE HAND, YOU DON'T WANT TO

  • BE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY WHERE WE'RE JUST PROSECUTING THE NEXT

  • PRESIDENT, YOUR POLITICAL OPPONENT.

  • ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE SORT OF A LICENSE

  • FOR SOMEBODY TO COMMIT A CRIME WHILE THEY'RE IN OFFICE OR

  • PREVIOUSLY AND FEEL LIKE THEY WILL NEVER BE HELD TO ACCOUNT

  • JUST BECAUSE THEY BECAME PRESIDENT.

  • SO THE NEXT ATTORNEY GENERAL, HE'S GOING TO HAVE A HARD

  • DECISION.

  • >> Stephen: WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

  • "WHERE LAW ENDS" IS AVAILABLE NOW.

  • ANDREW WEISSMANN, EVERYBODY.

  • WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
