The president -- im trying to remember the words but saying that if we had found out no wrongdoing we would have said so. and i think that the task for the democrats is to try to get him -- get direct -- direct mueller to be as expansive as possible on that very subject. thats really the whole game. >> lets remember that the north carolina rally last week was meant to be a mueller rebuttal. it was scheduled the day of muellers original testimony. of course it got postponed a week and he doesnt h...

Relieved a lot of pressure on the investigation. so with those facts, we applied those to our authorization to open a case which is, of course, an articulable, factual basis to believe that a threat to national security exists, and it was absolutely clear to us that we had reached that threshold and therefore it was time to step up to our obligation and begin an investigation. the question as to whether or not all of the questions and issues surrounding that investigation were resolved by the mu...

I think i was shocked in the same way like you and everybody else likely was. >> was the fbi shocked? in a deeper way rather than i wonder why he would say that? >> there were a number of moments that caused that concerconcern of what may happen in that campaign of strange and unprecedented things that the candidate was saying. that was one of those moments. i think it is significant that the investigators on direct muellers team followed that lead and concern. and look, at the other side of the...

This would be the test of that. >> we have watched the president in the open attempt to subvert the independence of the department of justice at every turn from firing comey and telling him to let flynn go to berating the attorney general to telling his white house council to fire mueller and direct mueller to be fired, berating rod rosenstein. he has not been it appears not been successful particularly, not gotten rid of mueller, but the question is how long that wall holds up. >> right. and ha...

Form, and attack, attack, attack anybody who calls into question anything that he may have put out there as the narrative. so i think thats a distinct possibility. but having said that, katy, let us remember that it did pass out of committee on a unanimous vote. all republicans, all democrats voted for it. and there is a mechanism in the rules that would allow for us to take that issue before the entire house. all that being said, katy, with i dont think its the most significant thing at all tha...

All. everything is fine. >> i expressed concern about certain aspects of certain things done by the fbi. in general, working with the fbi agents over decades, i found them to be an exceptional group of public servants. loyal, faithful and dedicated and some of the finest people i know. >> tucker: rosenstein said he has total confidence in robert mueller. >> it would be difficult for anybody to find somebody better qualified for this job. direct mueller throughout his lifetime has been a dedicate...

When some verdict comes down we can accept. the office of special counsel and the fbi are making it hard to have faith in them. why are they doing this? >> well, one thing i want to be clear about. this particular office of special counsel is the government body set up to investigate violations. thats separate from muellers bode. you are right. there can be no faith. when you see the text messages and hear the knews that one of the senior department prosecutors, his wife worked for fusion gps an...

Mueller. we have a lot of experience managing employees with political opinions. its our responsibility to make sure those opinions do not influence their actions. i believe that direct mueller understands that and he is running that office appropriately. recognizing that people have political views but ensuring they are not a factor in how they conduct himself. i dont know what the president meant by. that the special counsel investigation is not a witch hunt. >> sean: there is only one opinion...
