exactly. they ve been saying, oh, well, you have to work out your judicial remedies. but then once they try them, they try to shut them down. but it s worse than that. it s scarier than that. it suggests that everything he s done and will do is now off the table once these impeachment articles have been brought. it s wrong also because the mcgahn testimony recall from mueller, mcgahn is told by trump to fire mueller and then told by trump to lie about it. there s a pattern there, and the articles invoke that. and of course as doug letter says, it s a little bit of saber rattling. but if they find more stuff this happened with andrew johnson that s more counts of impeachment. nothing is changed in that respect. so there s no less urgency than there was before to get their hands on the mcgahn testimony. you know, john, i have to ask. you think about this going to the senate at some point in time. we know the senators are going to essentially be the jurors.
table once these impeachment articles have been brought. it s wrong also because the mcgahn testimony recall from mueller, mcgahn is told by trump to fire mueller and then told by trump to lie about it. there s a pattern there, and the articles invoke that. and of course as doug leder says, it s a little bit of saber rattling. but if they find more stuff this happened with andrew johnson that s more counts of impeachment. nothing is changed in that respect. so there s no less urgency than there was before to get their hands on the mcgahn testimony. you know, john, i have to ask. you think about this going to the senate at some point in time. we know the senators are going to essentially be the jurors. but it s interesting to hear that from him considering that he said that he s not trying to be a fair juror from someone like senator lindsey graham and the same goes with mcconnell. what are you thinking about the notion of having this fair trial if you have at least two senators
said it would be a disaster for trump to fire mueller. that s why jeffrey said we re past that issue. he said publicly, he wants to make sure mueller is fair to trump. that s the concession he wants from barr. i m interested to watch that exchange. what are those guard rails to make sure that he s fair? does that include a subpoena to have trump come answer questions? we learned overnight the robert mueller team wants to ask questions has been rebuffed. that has been an issue outstanding. it s unclear to me whether mueller will have to go to his supervisors in the justice department, now, rod rosenstein, soon to be bar, to ask permission for a subpoena. day-to-day he doesn t have to but for this he might have to. the subpoena for mueller, he knows there will be a court fight, the president s lawyers
