With this bogus dossier. id like to point out, people are defending the mueller problem by arguing, hes gotten eight or nine convictions so far. if the definition of a good special counsel probe is the convictions they get, the criminal on the whitewater probe was a home run. they got 14 convictions including governor of arkansas. they had to do with the underlying purpose of the investigation, which was an alleged crooked real estate deal. the convictions that mueller has has nothing to do with...

Is what we know and what we dont know. there will be nuances there that probably havent been picked up in the press reporting, because whoever has leaked it, has just given the basic to have-line judgment. if youre in the administration and want to cast doubt on it, you can probably find something in it that gives you a wedge or an excuse to say, well, i have a different view. >> not definitive there, yeah. >> that said, that said, when they make an assessment and come to a conclusion like this,...

Know. this is trumps m.o. to distance himself from people when it gets too hot. but the reality is trump selected whitaker for this job. he knows whitakew. hes met with whitaker many times in the oval office and he was drawn to whitaker because he said so many things on television and in writing about the mueller problem. he saw whitaker as an ally. >> on this subject of loyalty, lets dig into this a bit more. paul talked a while back about loyalty. he wrote, quote, the more trump is threatened,...

Must have thought it through figuring they get whitacre into 210 days or whatever it is. do you think they knew theyre going to get into this thing where he and the presiden president -- this is hot water. >> i have a hard time believing these are actually errors. he wants to put people that are loyal to him and close to him in these high positions. what i found striking and i have not seen that particular clip that you showed at the againing of the segment was when he starts referring the argum...

The first time since the mid-terms. the mid-terms are about protecting bob mueller. theres bipartisan legislation in both the house and the senate. tom tillis from north carolina, cory booker from new jersey will protect mueller. theres pressure to try to move this in the lame duck session. this will be a top priority of house democrats when they come up. heres a statement from chuck schumer. he said if they were to get rid of bob mueller here, it would create a constitutional crisis and especia...

He would defer for several reasons. number 1, he has his own possible recusal because of the op-ed he wrote but dont -- >> neil: thats what chuck schumer wants. that is good enough for him. but you dont though think thats not? >> not enough. but hes not going to want to take over the investigation. he will defer to rod rosenstein. but then when crucial decisions come up like whether or not the report is made public, he may want to weigh-in and actually take responsibility for making that decisio...

About the trump administration. they all tell basically the same story except woodward has by far the most credibility of the three. and it is even worse than you thought sort of theme here. >> from what i have read and we are only now dealing with the excerpts, a meticulous book. i have worked with bob woodward for 35 years, and i dont know a reporter like him. bob is so careful, so precise so pointed you know, did you talk to lindsey graham. he catches trump, even in that tape recording in a l...

It is extraordinary. >> i want to say, that tape recording itself is a microcosm of the mueller problem. two impulses there. he thinks he can schmooze him out of his book, he is lying on the phone getting caught over and over again. >> let me say i have known bob woodward since watergate when we were going impeachment proceedings, and he is a very, very careful reporter. he is careful, he is meticulous. people who talk to him trust him to convey the truth about their conversations. what does it ...

Arpa arpaio. she is a former fighter pilot herself and a military woman and a current congresswoman is going to be the republican nominee in that race. it may be difficult for the governor who has disappointment to appoint cindy mccain because under arizona laws, the special election to replace senator mccain will not take place until 2020. that means for the next year and a half whoever is appointed to that seat will be voting on big issues, potentially not only supreme court justices but also ...

Presidents other lawyers are worried about whether or not mueller is going to stick to those things. and it is a central question of whether or not he fired james comey to stop the mueller problem -- im sorry, stop the looking into russia and into the connection of russian and his campaign. so there is this idea if he says he is not going to ask him about why did you fire james comey, that is a key question. it is going to be hard for mueller to say no, i am not going to ask you that question. >...
