Firing Muller News Today

>> yeah, that makes a lot of sense. he directly reported in to wiseleberg. while youre here, i have the benefit of getting you on the big news day with don mcgann, former white house testifying. you worked for robert mueller and mcgann was famously part of the resistance internally to donald trumps unlawful order trying to fire muller without cause. hes telling lawmakers, reading from judiciary information, trump asked him to do some crazy blank. he was worried firing muller, your boss, was the ...

Taking look at part of this post, it says this. its up to the rest of us and our elected representatives to come to their defense and others to improperly interfere in the others work. president trump has been vocal about the d.o.j. investigation calling it a witch hunt. theyre talking about possibly firing muller but members of his own party are hesitant to back him. >> first of all, i dont he should be fired. he should be left to do his job. >> a pro muller ad by the group republican for the r...

Difficult to believe. we saw that dowd came out with a statement essentially saying the muller investigation should end. he got in a lot of trouble for that. not 12 hours later we saw the president come out with a tweet that echoed that exact sentiment. virtually the same wording, saying he believed the muller investigation should be over. this is at the end of the press briefing we saw sarah sanders saying to her knowledge dowd had never really taken action outside the presidents direct orders....

Person to provide that high bar seeing that he had to recuse himself that he shared improper information to the white house. >> the bottom line, is there a concert concerted effort to undermine the investigation? >> there is an effort to make sure the american people have all the information they need. i oppose firing mueller. this effort by the democrats to make people think that the president is imminently firing muller to me is politically motivated and laughable. the president said he is not...

And on december 22nd, when we are out of d.c., he was going to fire robert mueller. >> so trump attorney tj cobb said they are not firing muller and if that is true and were looking at a saturday night massacre six days from now, what would be the legal ramifications for trump? >> there are political ramifications for firing bob muller. legally, the investigation will continue. it may not be run by bob muller. the investigation existed before muller was appointed to run it and would very likely ...

Mueller should be dismissed. the entire staff should be fired, and a new special counsel should be appointed. >> sean: whooi can do with? >> rod rosenstein on could do it but he wont because he is conflicted, as well. he has both prosecutor and witness. >> sean: these people are all locked together. >> the attorney general, jeff sessions, who recused himself from the case, showed on recuse himself, for the sole purpose of firing muller and the staff and appoint a new special counsel. and then di...

Are. probably others in the white house dont know and guessing what they are and might be guessing who of them might be sunk in the possible other charges that the special prosecutor could bring against michael flynn. >> well, im thinking about what jonathan said in the last segment in the last answer and whether the right thing for the president to do from a cold-blooded theory is not just actually -- this is the moment to escalate. he in a short time may confront the success or failure of the ...

On the one charge. there are charges coming out. but theyre assumed to be against one person to decide. the end of mueller and trump is being exonerated or its the beginning of something larger. mueller is very methodical. i think we might know within three, four, five, six months. but this is just the beginning. the worst thing i think trump could do politically is to overreact there is talk of him potentially firing muller that could cause a constitutional crisis. but its just unclear. to be f...

Investigation. in fact if anything added fuel with the appointment of this special counsel. no reason to believe firing muller would do anything other than tone down this investigation, in fact he is regarded as an institution deferential to institutions of power. you might end up with someone who is a little bit more aggressive towards the presidency and institution of the presidency if you replace him. >> except one of the problems that has arisen is the fact that muller and comey are close. t...

But the real story this week is the press and people like did he have lynn and the "new york times" doing that kind of reporting which is what our founders envisioned in the first amendment. thats actually the answer to this question which is sure, there are all sorts of ways a president can stymie a special counsel but the regulations were drafted with a lot of input from erica holder, janet reno, to try and say sunlight is theway best way to avoid a president whos going to try to endear. all t...
