Trumpmueller facetoface interview. It relates basically to the Russia Collusion thing, which we think there is no evidence and the president didnt do anything wrong, so we dont have much of a problem with it. But the obstruction thing, its more a question of we dont see the legal basis for the president obstructing by merely taking an action in Firing Somebody that he had every right to fire and about ten good reasons to fire. When are you going to nail this down . I think a couple maybe this week, maybe next week. Last time you told us it was july 4th, mr. Mayor. Well, a lot happened since july 4th.
