Skeptically. but the record of these stories has been very, very good. americans should turn a skeptical eye to all the information they receive. but the "washington post" is a highly professional, credible news outlet. i just think this is kind of a weak attack to say that a story that is based on anonymous sources or background quotes is inherently not trustworthy, likely to be wrong. the track record does not bear that out. time and time again the work of these papers that are breaking these big stories has been substantiated and is extremely credible. so i think it's a very odd statement o...

Why issue it tonight. it's coming on the backdrop of rod rosenstein being the one who can decide the fate of basketball mueller. he said listen, it falls on me as to whether he stays. one has to wonder how much if any pressure he is feeling from the administration right now and why out of all nights to issue the statement tonight. >> thanks to our lead-off panel, thanks to, along with birthday wishes to beiana goal riga, michael crowley and vivian salmano. thank you. come up, the donald trump a nightmare client? are his troubles of his own making? is he making new troubles every day on twitt...

"the appointment of bob mueller a special counsel for the russian investigation is a good fir...
