president tonight about whether or not he should fire rosenstein? or what would happen if he did? >> my message to the president tonight is that interfering with the mueller investigation is the wrong thing to do. it's the wrong thing to do for our country. it in effect says that the president is above the law and donald trump shouldn't go there. >> do you think having the meeting on thursday is to distract from the kavanaugh hearings? >> my sense is today was really right out of the trump playbook. whenever they got problems, they go out and create some chaos. they create some distraction. we were getting reports on the hill that this was the smoke bomb today to distract from the kavanaugh allegations. again, the bottom line is -- and a lot of us are very concerned about this. that bob mueller is really in a race against time, is that the president should not interfere with this investigation. >> senator ron wyden, appreciate
