You were worried about, including removing robert mueller. what's something that could be donor implemented here that secures robert mueller continuation in this position? >> well, i think that the members of congress of both parties ought to make it very clear to president trump that if he does anything to interfere with the mueller investigation, he is going to immediately be removed from office. and that message needs to come from the republicans as well as the democrats. this is not in the interests of the republican party to have members of congress piling on and attacking mueller and att...

Have legislation. they have been quiet on it. the president is in an interesting position t. white house said mueller would be done by thanksgiving, christmas, early next year. this is an effort by the president's lawyers to keep him at bay and attacking mueller and firing mueller. so the interesting question which warner is sort of heading towards is what will happen when the president realizes mueller is not going to clear his name. we have to remember that mueller was appointed because comey wouldn't say publicly that the president wasn't under investigation. and i think that's what democra...
