Back and they can use his hitting back as a pretext to firing him. hes in this difficult position where he does give ground to try to protect the investigation. they are insatiable here. he testified for 11 hours behind closed doors. that we didnt see. the rosenstein spectacle is just for slapping him around p publicly. >> what do you make of how hes responded to these tough questions? >> approximately. he unlike the attorney general has relied on the professional core of the department of justi...
