The reality, of course, is strzok has been extremely useful to the president. he's been useful to the president's defenders on fox news. he's become sort of the figure head or the embodiment of the quote-unquote, deep state. and to that extent he has provided, you know, a pinata for the president and his allies to go after. without strzok it's going to be harder to point to any particular villain in the fbi or the d.o.j. especially given now that comey and mccabe are also gone. so the president's not going to have as many targets over at the justice department and that's something that could p...

Mueller, you are going to see an outright assault on the attorney general, on rosenstein in an attempt to get them out or at least taint them so badly in the public's perception that they can't carry out their functions. it's going to have lasting repercussions. but on a deeper level, we're talking about assaulting the rule of law, the way we do things in a democratic society, and lashing out at your own attorney general knowing that you're handcuffed. you can't fire him right now because of public perception. it will backfire on you. so let's just taint him and bully him every single day, exp...

>> it is surprising, though. don't sign the bill. why sign the bill? >> this was a bill that was named by mccain's friends -- >> sign it in your pajamas watching "fox & friends". >> it's just a reminder of what a shameful presidency we have that he can't honor an american senate and american hero who is dying of a deadly cancer. >> it's petty. >> it is the absence of grace even in moments that require and define who this president is and everything he is not and how ill he represents what america is and ought to be at its best. even his own party. >> but it's petty, anicolle. i keep saying he'...

The suggestion that i and some dark chamber somewhere in the fbi would somehow cast aside all of these procedures, all of these safeguards and somehow be able to do this is astounding to me. it simply couldn't happen. and the proposition that that is going on, that it might occur anywhere in the fbi deeply corrodes what the fbi is in american society, the effectiveness in their mission and it is deeply destructive.
