i think it's a mutually respectful admiring professional relationship. >> carol lee? >> yeah.his step toward mueller which you described as a nuclear strike on the ruefle of law, can you walks through what happens? is there somebody else? what's the reaction or the process? >> it sort of depends how he does it. if the objective is to remove mueller but not destroy the office, not eliminate the office, you could imagine somebody else stepping in or being appointed. that's what happened when nixon fired archibald cox and made the grave mistake of leading the appointment of someone else in his stead that turned into a fateful error onnixon's part. both are awful situations, but they are different. i think it's a little bit hard to game out without knowing exactly what he would try to do. >> thank you for your incite. richard, i'm curious, watching everything that we just talked about since the show started this morning, from the perspective of the foreign policy team, explain to me how they don't -- and i mean general mattis. i'm talking about mcmaster. i'll talking about even re
