[09:29:03] HARLOW: Move on or fight, fight, fight is a big decision that Democrats will make. They'll have a call over it today, in just a few hours.

Joining me now is Democratic Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon of Pennsylvania. She serves as vice chair of the Judiciary Committee.

A busy few weeks ahead of you, congresswoman. Thanks for being with me.

REP. MARY GAY SCANLON (D-PA): Sure.

HARLOW: All right, so let's begin here. You're an attorney. Based on your experience in the legal field, based on what you read in the Mueller report, do you believe the president's offenses are impeachable?

SCANLON: You know, I think we still have to do work on that. The Mueller report lays out that Mueller was unable to clear the president of obstruction of justice and then he gives us roadmap. His -- that whole second volume of his report is essentially a prosecutorial charging document in which he lays out the evidence that he found of obstruction of justice in at least ten different instances. And then he gives us more. He gives us 14 other criminal prosecutions that he had to refer out because they were beyond the scope of his report.

[09:30:08] HARLOW: Right.
