It appears that there is something they don't want Steve Bannon to tell us.
This is the White House and its most aggressive way yet trying to obstruct our investigation.
It doesn't make a lot of sense. And it also doesn't flow legally that he would be willing to talk to Bob Mueller, but under subpoena to Congress, that he would not answer any of our questions.
They cannot really and they should not know what we're asking Mr. Bannon.
First, he's a man who knows. He sees the classified and unclassified intelligence. And so he's worried that this investigation could be shut down.
It just feels like we're leading up to a crescendo, you know, with people being able to get an audience with the president and suggest that Bob Mueller should be fired.
But if you listen to Republicans on that committee they would probably take credit for firing Bob Mueller because they expressed that they'd like to see him go.
The willingness to just torch the whole FBI building to advance this narrative is very troubling.
I think it's a concerted effort, frankly, it's an ominous tone here in Washington that has us all fearful that the Mueller investigation is going to be shut down unless we do something to preserve it.
it is sickening to sit here and listen to the good names of people, like Bob Mueller and James Comey, just be smeared.
