day is going to come when we re g to have a constitutional crisis. that may be the day that fires mueller and sessions and rosenstein. it may be the day he tries to pardon himself. because they re so weak all along the road, he s they are forcing a constitutional crisis because they are not doing their job. offensive. history will not treat them well. natasha, do you think they re showing that kind of weakness? they have. like i said, the only people anthem have shown a spine in all this are people jeff flake, bob corker a making a slight comment about the president not being able to pardon himself, it might be woerktd of impeachment. he s not running for re-election. he s joined the group of people that don t have to face voters anymore. right. jonathan, you re reporting for the associated press, the pres angryh attorney gerf sessions for recusing himself a year ago. trump has take it on not even
think if president trump decided to fire mueller. here s a sample of their responses. him being a businessman, he should be done with it, move on. he has something to hide. i think he has something to hide, too. i think it would be the tipping point. he s in a hard situation. i think people would be suspicious if he did. i would like to see him fired. i think he d have something to hide. he s hiding something. joining us thwith that, that pollster peter hart. peter, thank you for being here. just that sound bite for the first time, it seems people were far more in the corner of if he fires mueller, that s not good, it reflects poorly on the president. well, you re exactly right, alex, that is the voters are absolutely dead set against doing anything that would stop or fire robert mueller.
