Mueller's private testimony: If it was in a transcript?

"I want all of you to take off your Party hats.... I have something to tell you."

"There has been a deep misunderstanding of what happened. First of all, I was asked to end the investigation. We still had work to do."

"Furthermore, we did not clear Mr Trump of 'collusion' or obstruction. We were not hired to look at collusion - we were hired to look at conspiracy between the Russians and anyone in the Trump campaign. We were limited in what we could look at."

"However, with that said, there were well over a hundred incidents of collusion or meetings with the Russians. We showed ten examples of obstruction in the Report, some of them criminal obstruction."

"We did not exonerate Mr Trump from any charges. The Mueller team, to a man, felt that we were obstructed from the very first day of our investigation. It was obvious that Mr Trump did not want to be investigated."

"There are still many issues and questions to be asked, especially on the counter-intelligence front? It is not up to us to recommend or not recommend impeachment and conviction, but we can give you the evidence to make your own decisions."

"We only ask that you look at it in the most clear and sober manner possible. Then, ask yourself, is this the person we want to lead our country? Each and every one of you will need to make that decision from your own moral and patriotic leaning."

"All we can do is give you the facts."
