Melber: Mueller cleared Trump of conspiracy but not obstruction
In a special report, MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber cuts through the “confusion” surrounding the Mueller report and Trump Attorney General Bill Barr’s summary of it. Melber breaks down the legal mechanisms to assess what Mueller found and how the fact of no chargeable collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, does not undercut the extensive work done he did in busting the crime spree by Trump advisors. Crucially, Melber notes, Mueller’s findings and analysis on the issue of obstruction, can only be assessed, when we get them.

Former Attorney General, Eric Holder, joins Ari Melber for a wide-ranging interview on criminal justice reform, bipartisanship, the Mueller probe and Trump’s administration. While discussing the criminal justice system, Holder tells Melber that many of the reforms he put in place “were dismantled by Jeff Sessions” and the Trump administration has been “an impediment to progress”. Holder also discusses the Trump slogan of “Make America Great Again”, posing the question: “when did you think America was great?”.
