him finish the job. jonathan turley on yesterday, he was actually defended the president at times throughout this process. said it would be the most foolish thing to do, it would be the end of his presidency. we have a poll out this morning that says seven in ten americans support bob mueller s investigation and say that he has to be able to finish it. the majority of republicans are saying the same thing. 69% say he should not be fired. the latest quinnipiac poll, 7 in 10 supporting the completion of this only 13% saying that bob mueller should be fired. these numbers have changed radically. is the president just blowing off steam from what you can tell? or is he really going to triple down on the mistake he made when he fired comey? i think you re right on the comey thing. that s the question. how big and bad is the comey skaska scar on trump?
at the beginning of next year, that may be different. they might fight harder and push on a subpoena on deutsche bank to get at what information they have there. we don t know a lot about donald trump s relationship with deutsche bank. we know that he s relied on a broker there, a wealth manager there that has access to different pools of capital. is someone that has a bit of a different style in portfolio. beyond that, i certainly don t know a ton. but we do know that this was something that he had thought crossed that red line. this area of looking at his finances beyond russia. and regardless of that, regardless of the deutsche bank loan it looks like sort of the justice department in and of itself, aside from mueller, if the prosecutors in new york were working without mueller, sort of walked up, if not crossed that red line with the going into, executing the search warrant in michael cohen s office. i hope people appreciate what an extraordinary move it is for fbi agents to execut
trump thought he was doing something bold and politically savvy in getting rid of comey and it turned out to be a massive miscalculation that unleashed mueller and cast this cloud over his presidency. does trump still feel the burn from that, or does he think this is just such a thing he can go forward. looming in the background is comey once again, because comey s book will be coming out next week. as we ve seen with the president, when books come out, he cannot help himself. he ll engage and lash out about them. so you ll have a comey factor closing in as this stuff is kicking up around the president. so michael the talk around town has been for some time, mika and i have heard it for a few years from people, our friends and people with friends in the finance community. everybody says about deutsche bank, if you want to to know about trump and his financial misdealings, go to deutsche
bookie or if it s ivanka, don jr. someone out of atlantic city or a fixer inside deutsche bank, i don t know who it is, but yeah. might be a caddy that s saying, boss, use a 4 club and you can fire mueller. definitely. it s wrong. it s wrong. also, they can t fire mueller. the president can t fire mueller. if he does, then it will be appealed to the united states supreme court most likely and the court will reverse it, making matters much worse. but mika, let s look at what happened yesterday. yeah. i think it was an important day. we criticized republicans for not saying enough, standing up to the abuses of power and the incoherent statements of policy that the president makes or the violation of constitutional norms, but let s look at what happened yesterday. if the president wanted to go
monday. rod rosenstein, so it gets donald trump s ire up. he is mad at rod rosenstein. he moves him aside and perhaps with the help of jeff sessions installs someone who might be more friendly to the idea of getting rid of bob mueller. one problem with this theory, i think it is a good theory. i think rosenstein is in far more jeopardy than mueller. it will be a domino effect. but who is going to walk in and fire bob mueller. you put somebody in there and go fire director mueller. do you want to be the american that s going to walk in there when you saw the polls, both sides of the aisle, that s the end of your political career. you re going to go in and fire bob mueller. you might get to hang out at the department of justice and deal with an erratic president for the rest of your term. you re going to try to a initiate an agenda for law enforcement, which is really jeff sessions agenda who was recused from the mueller investigation. i think republican senators have
