and bob mueller says, president, we'll have to get back to you on that one. it sounds weird and out of touch, but that's where the mindset was i then the meeting ended and i went stood at my favorite spot in the oval office. i was always looking for a corner to hide in in the oval office. but there are no corner. so i would stand beside the grand clock as everybody was leaving the room and there and bob mueller and the briefer walked by me and bob mueller turned the briefer and said, when we get back to the we're changing the mission of the bureau. it's now to prevent the next attack. and that not sound like a big deal, but you know how much effort it takes to change mission of a government agency. they really did change their mission and it made a difference for the president. also he said to me after everyone had walked out of the room, i want you to convene the war tomorrow at camp david. and i'm thinking to myself, there's no such thing as the war council, but i know what you mean and i said. how about 10:00 saturday, camp david, national security council

epitome of prosecutors with unfettered power and think about this, $1 hundred million later between bob muellersmith. the country is reeling from an abuse of justice over a former president, future president now and the way it happened on the federal level was via special counsels. this is something that can be eliminated and the question then becomes okay, if there is an investigation that needs to be done who will do it? the answer to that is one of the 93 u.s. attorneys. that's their job. and they need to be trusted to be able to do that and when bill barr was a.g. he did it with a number of u.s. attorney and they did it quietly and well. >> bill: interesting. let me read this. atlantic. donald trump gets away with it? "new york times" opinion trump evaded jack smith and the rule of law. i don't know how you come down on that. what about the issue of firings coming up or terminations? how do you gauge that or what should we expect? >> it makes sense why donald trump would want to fire jack smith and special counsel team given the fact that special counsel teams are self-selecting. you raise

defense, the infamous ukraine phone call, obviously how he feels about the justice department, and bob muellere intel community that had intelligence that suggested there were issues with some of trump's appointees and of course hhs, which was the home of covid and nih and all of this. my point is, if he succeeds, either he is right and there is a deep state and he exposes it, which we know is unlikely to be true, i think this doesn't exist, but hey, i will keep an open mind if he proves it, god love him. or worse, he creates his own deep state, he owns the bureaucracy now and his success is making the entire country no longer trust any part of government. and that's why i'm just sitting here, why does he want the justice department less leaved by the public? why does he want the pentagon to be more polarized, not less polarized? why does he want the intel community to have more questions about his handling intelligence? why is he intentionally wanting this disruption? again, maybe he really believes all this deep state exists but guess what he's doing, he is creating his own culture, there's
