special prosecutor is going to talk to steve bannon, who you spent a lot of time talking to. the special prosecutor has been talking to many of your sources in this book. has the special prosecutor reached out to you to talk to you about either the firing of the special prosecutor or any other elements of this story? he has not. and if the special prosecutor does want to interview you, would you cooperate with that? good question, and i don t know the answer. but i think that the answer is, yes, because i have nothing to hide. everything i know is in the book. what about the sources that are many sources are revealed in the book and many quotes attributed to people. but there are a lot of unattributed quotes. if the special prosecutor would point to the book and say who is the source here, and it s a source i can t reveal, i clearly would not. you know there s no privilege. the special prosecutor could hold you in contempt and you could end up in jail by refusing< ....
Mueller if he were fired. no one has acted on that in the majorit what s happened is that there has been an escalation of attacks on mueller in the right wing blogs, and there s been a wholesale attack on the fbi in order to discredit the investigation. all of that is a signal to the white house, unfortunately, that they might shrug if he took the step of firing mueller. people need to speak out now. people that are asked what they think about this, they need to speak out now and it s more important than ever for republicans in congress to say this is a red line that must not be crossed that would provoke a constitutional crisis that would bring down this administration. don t go there. because lawrence i think depending on where the special counsel investigation goes to, if the special counsel for example is looking at money ....
They might shrug if he took the step of firing mueller. people need to speak out now. people that are asked what they think about this, they need to speak out now and it s more important than ever for republicans in congress to say this is a red line that must not be crossed that would provoke a constitutional crisis that would bring down this administration. don t go there. because lawrence i think depending on where the special counsel investigation goes to, if the special counsel for example is looking at money laundering as i believe he should, you could see another outburst, outrage by the president that results in another order to fire bob mueller and the whole cascade of events that would bring about. congressman adam schiff, thank you very much for joining us tonight. appreciate it. thank you, lawrence. does the president still want to fire robert mueller? michael wolff believes the president has not stopped thinking about firing robert mueller. more on that next.

That is what i mean, that fox and the trump team, their strategy now is to actually bring on the political crisis to try to avoid paying the price over the russia collusion, if it occurred. that s how far they re willing to go. i do treat this very seriously. i just do wonder whether trump can take that final step of firing mueller. if he does fire mueller, except some conservative republicans to rally around him, except fox news, breitbart, to go 100% on the smear campaign against mueller and other government officials, will it work? i don t know. but, folks, you all better batten the hatches down, because it will get ugly. the interesting thing is, our president seems to take his cues from his favorite network, fox news. and then instigate policy as a result. it is basically creating this feedback. that is if fox news goes out and says it, then the white house ....
Supporter of the president also a supporter of jeff sessions. he said not only would it be difficult to find someone call identified to take this job, but what highly qualified person would take this job when you re going to be subject to this sort of abuse from the president and be so vulnerable to losing this job. extraordinary attacks on the attorney general of the united states, the criticism of the deputy attorney general, the criticism of the acting fbi director, the criticism of robert mueller, the special counsel, all by the president. what is the impact of that going forward? well, listen, it s hard to see because as rebecca mentioned, when he fired the attorney general there was great consternation and gnashing of teeth and tearing of garments and yet the president got through that and he did come up with an fbi director that seemed to be acceptable to both parties. it s not clear with sessions what the result would be if he were to fire him or if he took the step of firi ....
