It is not that complicated a decision about whether he should testify. it s how long will the interview take place, what are the judges that will be covered, where will the interview take place? it s not that complicated and rudy giuliani has been saying we re going to have a decision on this shortly since he was hired. i don t think you can blame mueller for the fact that the white house legal team has just been jerking mueller around on this question and, you know, it s got to be resolved one way or another and you can t blame mueller for how long the trump team is taking. jeffrey, quickly, michael cohen switching legal teams right now what do you think that tells us? is he facing new pressures to cop a plea and cooperate? i don t think the switching of lawyers is all that significant. i do think he is under enormous pressure to cooperate because every defendant facing federal charges if he faces federal charges faces a lot of pressure to cooperate. the u.s. attorney s office doe
Findings and ultimately everyone will be watching for how the president who has been hypercritical of the fbi, of the justice department and certainly and some of its former leaders and how he wraektsz will be something that most folks probably will be watching for today. thanks very much. let s bring in national security commentator mike rogers, former chair of the house intelligence committee and jeffrey tube bin joins us now. mr. chairman, i want to start with you. i think that the speculation is it s going to be very tough on james comey. in how he handled the hillary clinton probe, what are you looking for specifically and what questions do you think this will answer? for the first part of this, all that really sharp edge partisan that s been coming off on capitol hill on who did what and when, this probably will be the one that calls the balls and strikes on what actually happening. inspector general horwitz has a great reputation. this will be probably the definitive argumen
Collusion part of this which i think is where the president gets wrapped up in it. it needs to come to an end, just for healing the nation. we ve got elections coming up and again, i worry about the institution of the office of the presidency in this thing and here s my biggest fear. if we don t kind of bring this to wrap up, every party whoever takes the presidency will be subject to some kind of crazy investigation. i worry about that, because this becomes engrained in the political nastiness of this town and i think that s very unhealthy for the country. jeffrey, what do you think about the length of the mueller investigation? do you think this has been unusual pro-attracted? i think it s been short by white collar standards. he was appointed in may starting from absolute zero and it s just a little more than a year. these investigations take time and look, you know, the trump lawyers have been jerking mueller around for months about this interview.

Marijuana is difficult, because you could get high and get in your car and harm someone else. but for online poker, it is in your home and no harm to anyone else. well, that is one of the problems, it is done in the privacy of your own home and people s lives are being destroyed by the thousands in this country because of gambling, and the last thing we need is for that to be streamed into their homes 24/7, and it is just a bad policy to have that, and i think that the federal government has made the right decision on this. jeffrey, what is the legal problem with online poker? can t the government make money off of the sites? well, the broad problem at the moment is that online poker isillegal, but most of the operations were abroad either in ireland or somewhere else, and the way that this investigation went forward is that even though
