may have my time frame off, in which he was talking to marines and he made the comment that, you never want to be on the other side of a fighting marine or get into a fight with a marine. he seems to have forgotten, bob mueller is a marine and a decorated marine at that. and that he s a republican as well. a registered republican. he said that it was only democrats on mueller s team. which is not true. senator lindsey graham said he does not think the president has the legal authority to fire the special counsel. watch this. it s not harsh words, it s reality. i don t see any reason to fire mr. mueller. you re going to have calls to fire him. i think anything directed at firing mr. mueller blows up the whole town and that becomes the end of governing and the presidency as we know it. and i have zero concern that mueller s going to be fired by trump. zero. he said earlier, remember, it
promised under oath that he would not get involved and here he is firing mr. mccabe for those very reasons. notwithstanding the fact that he wasn t candor full of candor as he testified under oath. i think he s lied at least now four times. that s jeff sessions, again. as it pertains to andrew mccabe, once you get a chance to see the inspector general report and why the inspector general has decided that he land candor, do you believe it is a firing offense? i think it is a firing offense. do i believe he violated this? absolutely not. i think it beyond coincidence they happened to do it just before he was due retirement. the timing is a whole separate issue. i certainly know there is a big dispute there. let s talk about the president attacking robert mueller by name over the weekend, this morning, moments ago, calling it a witch

brand s profile is risen because she s next in the line of succession behind rod rosenstein who is overseeing the special counsel s inquiry into russian interference. mr. trump who has called the investigation a witch hunt has considered firing mr. rosenstein, all of this brand-new reporting from the new york times by reporter katie ben ert. jon, you describe this as shocking. it is shocking because rachel brand is someone with universal credibility on the right and never trumpers, trumpers, old time hands and all of this. she s a legal intellectual. she s a serious lawyer. and the fact that she s a bad ass. that is not something i would say. she s wicked, wicked smart. she s fearless. she s got all of that conservative intellectual force. but she s also an in an
kilyak, i just fired the head of the fbi. i m not under investigation. that s according to the new york times. firing comey took the pressure off. and as if to dispel any doubt that russia had at the very least factored into the conversation of firing mr. comey, the facts bore it out the next day in his comments to lester holt. i was going to fire comey, knowing there was no good time to do it. and in fact when i decided to just do it, i said to myself, i said, you know, this russia thing with trump and russia is a made up story, it s an excuse for having lost an election that they should have won. the next day he sent this tweet, james comey better hope there were no tapes of our conversation.
