and of course alan dershowitz is exactly right.ght now because again, mueller -- the scope of the mueller investigation had nothing to do with donald trump's lawful actions as president and i think constitutionally the president's case is rock solid on that. it really does leaves mueller with only one possibility for getting a big scalp and that is catching the president in a perjury trap. and that's why i really don't see his lawyers allowing him to do that no matter how much donald trump -- you know he is chomping at the bit to get out there and testify. quite frankly testifies every day about this over twitter anyway. he wants to do it. >> sandra: thank you. >> bill: "outnumbered" coming up next checking in with harris and melissa. >> the president slapping russia with new sanctions as punishment for the poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter. as you would think russia denies any role in the crime. whether this will finally quiet critics who say the president is too soft on vladimir putin. what do you think? >> and t
