able and honest special counsel who was in charge of this investigation, so let s allow him to do his work. martha: he has said he s going to do it in three months, do you think is reflecting on how long it took for other investigations, including yours? ken: i hope he s right. i thought whitewater would take six months max, but when i arrived in little rock, my distinguished predecessor said move your family to little rock, you will be here for a long time. it just depends on what evidence is. martha: ken starr, thank you very much, good to see you, sir. ken: good to see you, thank you. martha: my next guest says the whole investigation is beginning to look absurd. charles krauthammer coming up with his can t miss analysis of what was happening in washingto washington. an unverified rumor that broke coverage across the media last night. the suggestion that president trump was considering firing special counselor robert mueller. the white house response to that
the story. i want to put up the tweet, the democrat from this committee said if the president fired bob mueller, congress would immediately reestablish independent counsel and appoint bob mueller, don t waste our time. can they do that? jonathan: no. the congress would have to pass a new independent counsel act. if that act was written the way the original was, the decision will belong to a three-judge panel on the d.c. circuit, congress wouldn t be appointing the council, that would take some time. martha: in terms of concerns about the team that mueller is putting together, you wrote about this yesterday, we talked about it a little bit on the show last night, are there legitimate concerns about this theme in your opinion? jonathan: i think these are issues that are legitimate to raise. if you do have prosecutors that have connections with one political party, the opposing political party, that s legitimate to raise, but i don t see really a basis to challenge mueller or his
on your sports analogy, why would you do that at this stage in the game? chris: i think mueller has been through enough stuff in washington and politics over the last 40 years that he can probably handle himself, the danger is that trump starts to believe the stuff that his surrogates and supporters are saying about mueller and may be that he could fire him and that trump might do that. he might actually believe the stuff that they are spitting and then take that action, which would of course be functionally speaking the end of his administration. martha: s shooting yourself in the foot, we saw how well it went when he fired comey. then he complains that people aren t paying attention to the other things he s doing. makes it a pretty tough argumen argument. chris: he wouldn t be able to fire mueller, he would have to fire the deputy attorney general until he found an acting attorney general who would act to fire mueller, it becomes a total catastrophe, everybody walks away, mass
airport. a little bit more in boston, and to the west of boston, worcester, massachusetts, about a foot and half. 18 inches as we go far west in bethlehem, pennsylvania. want to show you the current radar loop. this is come right up the coast. snow totals we are expecting from now until it s all over. less than an inch here, less than an inch in boston but in burlington, another ten to 16 inches. that would put them around 30 inches. don t tell anyone in burlington this wasn t a big storm. forecasters say the storm could drop more than a foot in burlington, vermont. i want to show you here, for travelers, it s been a nightmare. this is in dallas and washingto washington. think starting to get back to normal at dulles international. the delays could ripple for
of time magazine is at the zenith of what people are disgusted by. they don t get it. people are just supporting donald trump because he s going to go and disrupt it and is long past a major disruption. leland: as only he can, mike huckabee slamming time magazine over an article called trump s were on. there s the cover. the piece inside argues that washington is tearing down bureaucracy, it could come at the expense of democracy. to talk about it, leslie marshall and former massachusetts senator scott brown. happy friday. scott, i get that mr. trump s changing of washington can come at the expense of a whole lot of federal jobs, and perhaps some federal bureaucracy, but the
