More now on the Breaking News, the president s interview with reuters. There certainly seems to be a dramatic ramping up of the rhetoric of the president when it comes to mueller, his team and the probe overall. We seem to be through the Looking Glass here tonight.

I ve asked that question a million times over this presidency. i think that s right, every day s an inflexion point of some sort for this presidency. as i ve always maintained, i have great faith in robert mueller, we don t know what he has up his sleeve. when i look at it, the context of the don mcgann testimony everyone s making comparisons to watergate, i think that s wrong. if you read the externals of what mueller s doing, it looks more like a classic justice department investigation of a mob boss, you can t get the mob boss, because he didn t pull the trigger, so you go after the money, you go after the tax evasion, money laundering, you go after bank fraud. and you go after perjury, we shall see what emerges from all of this. i think president trump is extremely worried, extremely worried, and that was even ....
