This has to do with the president s tweeting. Do you believe the president and republicans are trying to politicize the russia probe and do you think theyre succeeding . Well, it looks like theyre trying to fire bob mueller or the fbi investigating this by proxy. I think its really problematic. As you know we have tribalism that seeped into every institution in the count country with two exceptions the military and fbi. Now we see the fbi being politicized and sperm prosecutor being politicized. You would think they would be trying to increase the credibility of the last two institutions. But no. Do you think the president and the republicans if they are in fact trying to mire the thing down have reached the point if mueller brings charge that is people will disregard it . Well, thats a big worry. I think the reaction we need to look at i think the American Public will trust the fbi and the special prosecutor. The question is will Republican Leaders who are now in part seem to be partners with donald trump in undermining it will they respond to it if bob mueller brings charges.
