Candid views of this president. You talk to them one on one, theyre pretty up front about the fact that they dont take all the president s words to heart. That they are kind of getting used to how he conducts himself and his disregard for the facts. And thats a remarkable thing for an american president , members of his own party, in the congress to say. Its where we are. And im kind of used to it too now, because you talk to members of the congress. And in private, they dont even bother offering a defense of this president.

Meanwhile, bipartisan efforts to Shield Mueller and his investigation are moving forward in the senate, interestingly enough after much delay. Today republican Chuck Grassley, the chair of the powerful Senate Judiciary committee announced his panel will vote on a bill to protect mueller potentially as soon as tomorrow. That puts grassley on a direct Collision Course with the Senate Majority leader who says he will not advance the bill to a final vote. Theres no indication that mueller is going to be fired.
