have you reached a decision on that. the office of legal counsel, katherine herridge mentioned a few minutes ago is going to issue an opinion. this will carry significant weight. we have the top legal mind in the us government, the office of legal counsel. we expect the opinion to issue as soon as tomorrow. i will take a look at that. there are some compelling arguments that need to be considered. shannon: in the meantime there are those who say they fear he will be up to no good including congressman adam schiff who says whitaker, the title is matthew whitaker, we are watching you, could seek access to the special counsel s plans including grand jury testimony, in a position not just to funnel information to trump and his legal defense team but to abuse his authority to cripple or end the investigation. most of this is because of the position he has taken in the past with regard to mueller s investigation. the fact that people say this is what he could do.
