neil: and emmet was the impeachment attorney for bill clinton. i m wondering if this is a backstop measure on the administration to consider what they don t want to consider that it gets to that. that s possible. i m sure they re aware of that line on his resume. at the same time, they value flood because he knows how to talk the talk that bob mueller is talking. he knows how to negotiate and defend a defendant in this situation and he s a serious guy. he s a heavy hitter. a big move for the president. neil: what about john dowd, the former attorney? he said it would not be a good idea to talk to mueller. many have argued it s a slippery slope. once you go there, it doesn t end there. two to three hours might be a good goal but it s far from a certainty. it would be a mistake what do you think? in my view neil, i think it
