Some people saying, hey, you know, take it easy on robert mueller. no reason to sort of provoke. and others suggesting he should fight back and fight back hard as is his sort of general habit. so, the president, obviously, as he gets those competing thoughts in his ear, is inclined to sometimes put out those tweets weve seen in the past and other times to hold his fire and sit back. >> peter alexander, ned price, thank you very much. alabamas high profile for all the wrong reasons. the senate ...
