President, because he is who he is and that's the way he's going to be, is going to feel so threatened by it, he is not going to take it personally? is there an argument to be made that everybody just needs to stop talking about that, let mueller do his investigation and start talking about russia, period, separate from donald trump? >> yes. i think that's a good strategy. remember, mr. mueller's mandate is not to defend the national interest, is not to defend america's security interests. that's not his assignment. he has a much more narrow assignment and unfortunately, the committees in cong...
