people speculated, unreasonable speculation, that donald trump wants to be more aggressive. that's shown in tweets over the past few days, and degree he's personally naming mueller when he attacks the investigation in the way in which he dploet eglo about the firing of mccabe. that suggests, i think, a more pugnacious posture, but unclear whether or not the departure of john dowd fuels that. >> higher chance now that the president will fire mueller? >> i've heard a senator on the show suggest that. i'm not quite as panicked as some people who think that is necessarily going to happen in the next week or two, but it's a significant worry. you know, the reporting has been, i don't trust all the reporting, especially when it's talking about what lawyers tell their clients in secret, but it sounds like john dowd was in favor of, you know, cooperating with the mueller investigation
