Thats okay. >> i think what he thinks is theyre in hell and their whole hope is that theyre productive enough and serve the interest of enough voters that they can spare themselves disaster in november. the timeline is very short here for them. its from here until the november elections. tailwinds are looking very bad for them. if they can just focus on their work, ignore trump, get judges, get brett kavanaugh confirmed and mitch mcconnell can say, i did all of this. i had nothing to do with thi...

Impeachment is it something you would advise candidates to talk about head on. >> absolutely not. we should not be testing the waters one way or the other at this point. lets let the facts unfold in light of the mueller investigation. what both parties can do to serve the cause of justice is to make sure that bob mueller completes his investigation. if at the end of the investigation he says theres no culpability on the part of the president, sob it. however, if he reaches an opposite conclusion...

Midterms? [ no audible comments ] you still support mueller, right? [ inaudible comments ] >> how long can republicans -- theyre going to get asked about this on the campaign trail. they are. how long can they defend the president? >> theyre in an exquisite political bind here. trump is popular among republicans. they do not want to be on the record criticizing him. at the same time, this midterm election is going to play out in a lot of suburban swing districts where independents are running aw...

When we know that his poll ratings are so high and so solid and he was right about being able to go out on to fifth avenue and shoot somebody. he got that one right. i guess the question, noah, are we now having to weigh up how severe the potential legal ramifications, not just of the cohen and manafort cases are but whatever else mueller might have, you know, if there is obstruction of justice and how severe is the underlying crime behind that of collusion and that really is going, i think, wil...

Today frank thorpe made this audio recording with mitch mcconnell. >> do you have any reaction to the cohen-manafort news from yesterday? do you think that its concerning at all? do you think it will affect the midterms? you still support mueller, right? >> absolute silence to all of those questions. mitch mcconnell is one of the 16 current united states senators who voted for the conviction and removal from office of the president of the united states in the senate impeachment trial of bill cli...

Interview he did this trumpian thing where he said im looking into things and he doesnt really mean it. and, mostly, i would suspect that people around him still are urging him to just pump the brakes a little bit on this to say, to address pardons only after, for instance, the mueller investigation is done so it doesnt look like hes trying to impede it. but trump is, if anything, compulsive. so, who knows. i dont know what comes next. >> see, i think the danger has changed here. shifted. for a ...

And the logic, by the way, of firing manafort. he has to fire mueller at the same time. incredible injustice. mueller is prosecuting innocent people and not fair and pardon michael flynn but none of that will change whats going on in the southern district of new york, which is more jeopardizing him than mueller is. >> okay. so, benjamin and then katty, please follow up. benjamin, this is a massive investigation, ultimately, about the national security of the united states of america. and whether...

Yet where they feel that their conscience demands they come out and speak out against the president and support mueller publicly and talk about hearings on some of these allegations. we could get to that point where theres something out there so egregious they have to take that stand. right now, if they speak out against the president, they alienate their base. if they speak out for him, they alienate swing voters. >> is that maybe that point, that where people draw a line, if he decides to pard...

Chief law enforcement officer? >> well, youve got to look at how the republicans as a whole view donald trump. they think hes very successful. that he has checked off promises that he has made to them. they voted for him because they expected certain things done. and he is going through a check list of marking them off. youve also got to realize hes -- a lot of republicans, or maybe a lot of people that support trump or his base, are looking at this repeated attack on donald trump, the person. a...

>> you still support mueller, right? >> this as congressman tom cole, former head of the national republican congressional committee, has advice for fellow republicans. quote, keep your powder dry and dont rush to attack or defend anybody because you just dont know enough to have a reaction that you can still defend three months from now. with me now director of progressive programming for sirius xm zerlina maxwell. former republican congressman, david jolly. david, in the mcconnell case i think...
