going on, more information about the problems with their investigation. bret: the president seemed pretty adamant that he s not going to fire mueller. but also saying he has concerns about these emails from the trump transition were obtained. i think that is what the white house is doing. i don t think this is a prelude to firing mueller. there are republicans who say that would be a boneheaded mistake. he fired comey and got mueller. just like the judge said come he might get another tormentor. what i do think the white house is doing is trying to discredit mueller and lay the groundwork for undermining whatever conclusions mueller might come to if they are negative for donald trump. if he exonerates him, they better hope mueller has some credibility left. i am astonished about how mueller s team, you would think they would be overly sensitive, overly careful to being above reproach in the way they conducted this investigation.
