Dan Rather joined Rachel Maddow to talk about the fact that the Mueller report is still under wraps more than two weeks after it was delivered to the Attorney General:

By any reasonable analysis what you see from President Trump, and some of those closest to him, personal attorneys, lie and deny, delay and spin strategy. 

Now it’s gut check time for Attorney General Barr. Let’s see what he does. Let’s don’t prejudge what he’s going to do or might not do. 

It’s gut check time for the Congress. Will the Congress insist on getting the full report or at least most of their the report to make public or see it or do they unite behind that and have an effort to get it or do they fold like a cheap suit in the rain and just fade away? 

And the third place is for the gut check is for the public at large. For people who care about this, it’s time show that you care and stand up. Because what eventually exposed the reality of the Nixon administration was a combination of the courts doing their job, Congress doing its job, and the public keeping the pressure on. I’m not actually convinced that the public will keep the pressure on. If they do we are likely to see a great deal if not all, a great deal of the Mueller report. 

He also talked about how the issues with Trump compare to those that Richard Nixon struggled with:

This is a very important time in our history. Because during the Watergate period, the fundamentals of law were under attack and the law prevailed. Our belief in a rule of law, no one’s above the law. Now once again, it’s a fundamental attack on the law… and we are being put to the test. Let’s see if we pass it.
