you heard that discussion from allan dershowitz and dan abrams. do you agree there's nothing the acting attorney general can do to interfere with the mueller investigation? >> i don't know. he's running the justice department. i don't think that he should be. the reason i'm concerned is it's someone that publically said he thinks you could starve the investigation by cutting off the money for it. he said he didn't see any connection between the trump campaign and russia, yet you've seen all these indictments and charges and convictions that you just referred to. i'm concerned about having him in charged. we've tried in the senate on a bipartisan level to protect the investigation. by law there are court cases going on that are questioning this appointment of someone who is literally a walking conflict. he got $1.2 million to go on tv to protect donald trump and we have no idea where that money came from. i'm asking where did that money come from? >> you mention the legislation to protect robert mueller. some of your colleagues in the senate includ

hendren thank you very much indeed that's going to have to now to an official who's outside capitol hill allan on a nationwide picture what are the polls suggest is going to happen. well we are seeing record early voting we're seeing tonneau that is very high indeed probably going to eclipse the last midterms if you look at the latest polls that have come out there suggesting that the democrats to be twenty three seats in the house to take back control are going to do that they're going to do it by taking around thirty seats according to some polls or if you believe the more optimistic ones anything up to forty five which would be an actual blue wave in the senate as john was saying it's much harder for the democrats to have any real success there and the poor suggest that the republicans may well get a net gain of one there's an independent senator the net gain of one and in the governorships while they're expecting that of all the seats that are up for grabs across the country that the democrats are going to do incredibly well no if you go back to two thousand and ten the election there a lo
