reason to undermine it as a witch hunt. unless something changed from the midterm elections last night to right now, mueller should theoretically be safe under existing legislation. >> i don't think it's that far gone to picture the president firing the special counsel, because a., he's tried to do it before. it's not like it's some area he hasn't come close to. he's tried to do it before. and b., what was one of the things he was tweeting about this morning when he was talking about the rash of election results from last night? he was citing a poll believing americans did not find the mueller investigation to be worthy of continuing to go on. so the president can use that mentality or he clearly has that mentality. he thinks his supporters and he's been surrounded by them for two weeks now, saying witch hunt and having the crowd cheer, agree with him. this is a waste of time and he should end it. that is how the president reasons things. not by being worried about what people on capitol hill -- >> everyone stick around. a quick break. another man fired by president trump just tweeted, quote, it's danger time. and i'll talk to him next. stay with us.
