Isnt james comey a key witness here? my goodness, look at the relationship between mueller and comey. they were protége and mentor. >> yes, we know before comeys testimony they are closely coordinating. the issue is that mueller has to be, the person in that position has to be truly independent and without conflict. >> heres what we have. we have robert mueller deciding the credibility of his protége versus the man who fired his protége. the law also says not just a general conflict of intere...

Undermine the judiciary. dont want to undermine the supreme court. for the sake of the rule of law, im going to step back even though i know i can decide the case fairly. frankly, i dont think she can decide the case fairly. given what she said, i would caution her that she stepped back. >> shelby: i have a question bread when president trump attacked the courts, the judiciary, when he attacked, as he did with the travel ban that the courts are being slow and political. does that make it tough o...

I think she stepped in it, eric. i set it at the time. this was going to come back to haunt her. >> eric: what she did versus what justice scalia would do as a conservative justice, he would talk about ideology, about "i believe in this or that." she went one step further and pointed at donald trump specifically, the man, not his policies. therein lies one opportunity for her to say hat tip to impartiality and i will step down. >> shelby: it makes it tough for her. if she recuse herself from thi...

Country, its about the president being a denier and telling his decision in the world hes not interested in protecting the environment. which, by the way, were not hearing a whole lot about the fact that he said. i would like to renegotiate this deal. i care about the environment. lets redo this. >> the next thing the president said, and it kind of got dismissed by the president as if he hadnt even said it because it was almost like everyone was geared up for yes or no or not going into -- katie...

Factual fabrication in this white house. finally, the events of this past week only heighten the need for a special prosecutor who is truly independent to run the department of justices investigations into the potential collusion between the trump campaign and russia. the american people must have faith in the integrity and impartiality of this investigation. we have learned, if the reporting is accurate, that the president is willing to directly interfere with an active investigation. whether i...

Comey, why didnt he tell the president this is inappropriate. one of the unanswered questions is whether or not jim comey was trying to build an obstruction of justice case against the president. if he thought the best course of action would be to record them in case they were useful. probably not in a criminal indictment, but to turn them over to congress in impeachment hearings. >> does that create motivation questions about his impartiality. >> they didnt want to get involved because of how i...
