bigger hole. at the same time i'm hearing in the conservative stir cells this argument well look what this special counsel has done. they spent $5 million and all they have gotten is paul manafort, george papadopoulos and general flynn for lying about something not related to the campaign. so they are making that argument. and they are going out and starting to pressure people from the base to push congress to defund the mueller probe because the mueller probe, if mueller got fired you would see republicans turn on trump in an instant publicly. but if you defund it, you are not technically firing mueller, you are just not able to pay anybody working for mueller and nobody works for free. >> so living under the leadership someone outspoken, goes without saying, and said time and time again this is a fake investigation. if you were counseling somebody, republican candidate who is seeking office now, what would you tell him or her about how to engage in this issue? i think you might say to the president best not to talk about this or tweet about what's going on.
