The question would be is there now a political check on him with the democratic house, you know, which -- i mean, having written about this, nancy pelosi and the tpnew chairman of the judiciary committee do not want to go to impeachment and with a republican senate its impossible. however, if robert mueller gets fired they will find it impossible to stop the impeachment in the house of representatives. >> they could call robert mueller has a witness in the house, and they can call any justice de...

Grand jury whos been interviewed in this case. sam clovis said hes a good friend of matthew whittakers. and he oversaw papadopoulos at the trump campaign. if he refuses to follow that recommendation to recuse himself, i think its a sign the fix was in from the beginning. trump has told people apparently he wont recuse himself. i think that will be a sign trump sent him in there to shutdown this investigation in one way or another. >> presumably whittaker has told the president under no circumsta...

>> yeah, youre absolutely right, lawrence. and thats just one of the troubling comments that matthew whittaker has made about the mueller investigation. i think the most notable comment in my opinion hes made is actually saying publicly that the trump tower meeting, which is at the heart of the investigation, is a meeting anyone would have taken. i dont know how he can fairly oversee this investigation and give anyone confidence about the integrity of the investigation when he has publicly preju...

He doesnt seem like someone who could be confirmed by the senate. >> no. >> that doesnt mean he cant do a lot of damage to the mueller investigation in that short period of time. >> thats the question, natasha. again, this looks to all the world like a loyalist who only has his job because hes a loyalist, whose paper trail on twitter and elsewhere is a mile long about talking about squeezing the mueller investigation, about it being a witch hunt if it crosses over into finances. what happens now...
