yesterday in connection with trump s lawyer, if you have an innocent client, act like it. that s what he was saying to trump s lawyer. the same should be said to the president, right? if you re innocent, if you ve got nothing to hide, for goodness sakes, act like it, because president trump is acting guilty as hell going after mueller, trying to short-circuit this investigation, trying to discredit this investigation. it s an alarming development, but we need to make sure congress on a bipartisan basis stands with an independent investigation and makes it clear that getting rid of mueller would generate a constitutional crisis. several higher profile lawmakers, including several republicans, are warning the president not to fire mueller, but they re also pushing efforts in congress right now in a legislative way to protect him, but those efforts seem to have stalled. would you support legislation to keep the president from firing mueller? i do strongly support that

a look at that report and let s make sure that it s based on fact. let s see a form coming from the president. this is supposed to be an independent investigation. by having the white house interfere and the president interfere directly, it could really raise doubts about the integrity of that process. getting back to proposed legislation to protect robert mueller and his special counsel investigation of the whole subject matter. . . to keep the government funding but also at the same time to protect mueller. you ve heard of those proposals? yes, wolf. and those are the kinds of
