Again earlier today. "the washington post" reporting last night that robert mueller is looking into the possibility over allegations of obstruction of justice. how significant is that? how significant a turning point? >> so obviously i'm not privy to the details of what director mueller or special counsel mueller is looking at right now. i think it is unsurprising that he is apparently looking at the obstruction question. i think it would be hard as a prosecutor to look at the pattern of activity that begins january 6 and ends -- i mean it hasn't ended, but ends with the firing of comey and su...

Obstruction question is there for us to see. any operating in this political environment is doing largely blind. >> yes. this is the adage the cover-up can be if not worse more visible than the underlying crime. i would say the republicans have lots of constructive things they could be doing if they wanted to get to the heart of this. one of this is investigating his financial ties and getting to the bottom of the emoluments problem which does intersect with the russian problem. what money does he have coming in? who did he have dealings with? did he really not have any deals with the russians...

Will it take the 2018 weapons? being wiped out or an additional scandal? that's what we're looking at here. the evidence seems pretty clear. we already knew the trump was under investigation after comey said i already gave that stuff to mueller. the question is whether the republicans want to get ahead of this or wait until the shoes drop and get crushed by it. >> what makes this strange when you go down to the basic, jennifer, core facts are, what did the russians do, in terms of their efforts in the campaign, appear to be quite extensive, did they receive any aid or help with those persons a...

Potential crime wasn't meeting with the russian ambassador. it was answering questions and being evasive about it when the fbi asked him about it. so anytime you talk to a federal agent, you run that risk. and then, of course, there's the obstruction question as well. all of this may be very academic because you can't charge a president with a crime. >> have a nice weekend, pete. you're the best. thanks so much. >> same to you. when wcome back, much more on trump and the truth. there'two different places of the earth. and the roundtable. plus, the republican defense of trump doesn't add up...
