Considering on how more animated that mueller was on russia. >> ill remind you obstruction was a crime. so i think the judiciary committee began because were the committee that has jurisdiction over impeachment so i think it made sense for mr. mueller first to come to the judiciary committee. he spoke about the presidents conduct. so im not sure the order mattered. i think we had an opportunity to hear from the special counsel and him walk through all the contents of the report. so im not sure i...

Probably. maybe i will see a little bit of it. im not going to be watching mueller because you cant take all those bites out of the appl apple. we had no collusion, no obstruction. >> the chairman of the committee that will question mueller first, jerry nadler, says its precisely comments like that that of the reason democrats have fought so hard to get mueller to testify in public. >> that was the chairman of the judiciary committee jerry nadler who is going to be one of the very first people t...

Response. lets talk about mr. mueller first. i thought the filing last week that really should chill the white house most thoroughly was the one from michael flynn, because hes at the heart or was certainly in the room where it happens, if you will, on the relationship between the trump campaign, if any, and the russians. he was in moscow, dinner with vladimir putin in december of 2015. he was a high adviser to the president throughout the campaign in the transition, we know during the transitio...

Danger there, is he not? >> for sure. look, people do that all the time. they go in, and they lie, and they exaggerate to federal investigators all the time. and so far, you know, we have no knowledge that cohen has done that. and, in fact, hes playing sort of an interesting game here. you know, i think asha would agree with me that federal investigators probably wouldnt be so happy with what cohen is doing right now. you know, going to the press instead of going to the government. >> right. >> ...

Seized but so we know a little bit, we dont know a little bit -- i think the most important thing we know is that a neutral detached federal judge has nothing to do with politics signed off on the warrant. chris: i want to pick up on one of your points which is that you -- you noted that special counsel robert mueller refer today prosecutors in manhattan and here was the presidents furious reaction to that and it led to this exchange. >> why dont i just fire mueller? well, i think its a disgrace...
