else comes down. that's the story of this presidency. it's overload in terms of the news cycle, and it's one of the things that has enabled the president to get past some of these things. there is always something else. the distraction, the sort of, you know, fog that they create, the fog machine, i don't know that those things distract bob mueller and his investigation and where this whole thing is going here, but you do have to wonder why this came out now, who the sources were, what their angle was, was it steve bannon just sort of lighting matches, was it somebody inside worried about the president, maybe possibly considering firing mueller again and trying to stave that off by boxing him in publicly? we don't know but those questions are also important to ask as you sort of consider this story and what was the reason that it came out tonight. >> as we said, our thanks to our starting panel as we deal with what is still this breaking news story. eli stokels, kimberly atkins,
