another. there s no way that this thing is just going to go away. if you were smart, he would take a step back and say, all right, you know what, does he have the right to ask him, hey, did you really say that, i mean is that really appropriate you said that? he has the right to fire him because he thinks he said it. i wouldn t fire him but i would bring him in for what we call a counseling session and say, hey, you got to knock it off, go back to work and put bad guys in jail. no, i m saying he has the right to do it. is it right to do it though. if he resigns, the president has the easy path to putting noel francisco in there, a man it is assumed would be more amenable to the president s point of view in certain things. do you go that way? no way. that s untrue. the law of unintended consequences will kill you. you fire james comey and obviously you will have an easier path to the russia investigation and you get robert mueller. you fire rosenstein, and i don t know whether s
going to fire rosenstein. i don t see that happening at all. chris, laura, thank you for your time. when we come back, bill cosby led out of court today in cuffs. how he went from being known as america s dad to facing three to ten years in prison. since you re heading off to dad. i just got a zerowater. but we ve always used brita. it s two stage-filter. doesn t compare to zerowater s 5-stage. this meter shows how much stuff, or dissolved solids, gets left behind. our tap water is 220. brita? 110. seriously? but zerowater- let me guess. zero? yup, that s how i know it is the purest-tasting water. i need to find the receipt for that.
amendment. rosenstein emphatically denies comments and he will make his case before the president at the white house thursday. yes, the same day as the kavanaugh hearing. we re joint by a former federal prosecutor, friend and former supervisor of rod rosenstein. thank you for taking this opportunity. we need the help. i ll take his silence as acceptance. can you hear me? i can hear you. what do you think is true? do you think rosenstein offered his resignation? do you think he was just talking about it because he heard they were going on fire him? we ve heard everything. now we hear that there is an anticipation that he might resign or maybe there isn t. what do you know? my sense is that rod went over to see the chief of staff for the president after newspaper reports of comments by the president about the department of justice.
long path. it is difficult. previous presidents haven t made progress. that s all he has to say. so we have him being judged. then we have a situation at home that i want your heads on. mike, rosenstein. do you have him resign or have him come out on thursday and he s the bigger man and he stays? well, i hope the president comes out the bigger man and he stays. my wife says it is a genetic deif he can that i have. that investigation is going nowhere. you can fire rosenstein and mueller. all the weight of that investigation is still there and then congress will be forced to do something. they re either going to the appeal court, like the star investigation, and they would appoint a special counsel or the attorney general would have to. there s no way this is just
probe going in terms of the president of the united states or is his focus on those who were in a key position in the campaign. not anyone is higher than the chairman of the campaign. we already see the results for that. the question will be whether or not there is any allegation, particularly during midterm elections that russia was able to affect the outcome in terms of tallies of the election and has there been another coordinated effort that persisted long after the 2016 election that will impact what s happening in november and who knew and when. that s what we re waiting to hear about. if trump were to fire rosenstein on thursday which many are saying this looks less likely to happen, this was all just, i don t know, what s the word that you i forgot the word you used. distraction, deflection snooping no, i m trying to think of the word you used on the show before. so what would happen, rig rig ma
