cheryl: todd pyro joins us to break it all down. >> good morning. such a busy morning as they all are these days. telling president trump's legal team he could subpoena the president to appear before a grand jury of refuses the interview. the threat from a march meeting explained by trumps attorney john dowd. admitted speed of having answered the interview request. the latest risk of the day after fox news obtained a list of questions that trumps legal team believes mueller wants to ask. possible questions cover interactions with key figures in the russia saga, james comey, jeff sessions, michael cullen along with topics including a moscow real estate deal, and begins with vladimir putin enemy back channel setup by jared kushner to talk to russia before the inauguration. not happy with the late reading so disgraceful that questions concerning the russian witch hunt were leaked to the media. no questions on collusion. i see you have a made up for a

crab collusion that never existed investigation with illegally leaked classified information. nice. dow denies he is weaker but pretty skeptical because they are and have heroic role. dismissing reports that house republicans are articles of impeachment against him. >> there have been people who have been making threats privately and publicly against me for quite some time and they should understand by now the department of justice will do what is required by the rule of law in any kind of threat that anybody makes are not can affect way we do our job. >> a group of gop lawmakers that i mark meadows reportedly drafted eight articles of impeachment against rosenstein. you know they're going to be twisting the story over the next 24 hours. we'll see what happens.

cheryl: let's keep talking about this. political commentator erik kramer. good morning. i guess we should start here with rod rosenstein. he definitely was pushing back against any indications especially from the house freedom caucus that he should step aside the impeachment letter that's been circulated around with no names. basically back off. do you think he should resign in the middle of all of this? some accountability to any investigation when it has such a major ramifications on our elected processes, on our public officials. i mean, i think the problem is that the investigation so far has been that a lot of information has been revealed to the public by way of weeks, very clear in conflict information. it's hard to know what's been going on.

the rosenstein saga, things in a conflict between congress and inquiries they sent to rosenstein. i think that so far polling has shown that the public still wants a kind of less harsh approach to it. but i think we will see exactly how they continue. cheryl: obviously his relationship with congress is incredibly contentious. they just opened our doors to allow congress to comment on this tour files. he's worried about leaks. let's talk about mueller then. the investigation yesterday confirming the list of questions he would be asking the president. john dowd, his former attorney

told "the associated press" that there is a possibility of a subpoena coming down and do you think this is likely? do you think you if a subpoena if he doesn't voluntarily talked to mueller? >> of president trump doesn't voluntarily talked to mueller it would be likely. it is no clear precedent in the investigations like this. the clinton saga but the case law. i don't think it would be that helpful to mueller's investigation. it would be a very big escalation however. cheryl: what are they looking for? one of the questions we found yesterday was mueller was asking

what discussions did trump have regarding any meeting with mr. putin? those are directly related to this president trump in this campaign colluded with russia. mueller is still on track of things. >> a tough part of a special counsel investigation as we've seen in the past is your difficulty winding down until they find them anything similar investigation has found a few so far. manafort, general flynn, et cetera, the affairs that are involved. i think that it remains really uncertain because the mueller team has not publicly said anything essentially beyond the leaked documents the past year. it is possible he is moving to obstruction which would open up a whole another can of worms. cheryl: that could be a whole another can of worms is right. thank you for joining us this morning. appreciate it.
