jack goldsmith, welcome back to the "newshour".f all, your reaction to the news reports that the president did try to fire, at least wanted to fire mr. mueller. >> that part of the story is not surprising, as you were the one that solicited from mr. ruddy that mr. trump was thinking about that last summer, so that part is not that surprising. the piece of news was that don mcghan, the white house counsel, refused to carry out the order of mr. trump to tell the justice to fire mueller and threatened to resign as a result. >> woodruff: you're saying the fact that mcghan stepped in and the president thought better of it changed his mind matters more. why is that significant? >> it's significant for a couple of reasons. first, it shows people in the white house, including those closest to the president, thought it would be a disaster for the president -- that's the way the "new york times" reported it -- if he fired mueller. second and i think most importantly, it shows how very difficult it would be, in fact, for the president to fire

and, jack goldsmith, professor at harvard law school and co-founder of lawfareblog.com.also served as assistant attorney general for the justice department's office of legal counsel, during the george w. bush administration. so, julie, i wonder if you could just start off. this story had so many interesting at the tails to it and helped tell us a little bit more about what may be an obstruction of justice case. give us some of the details you guys reported. >> well, what we're learning is more about what the special prosecutor robert mueller is looking at as he tries to figure out whether there is a case for obstruction of justice, and one of the key things my colleague matt schmidt and the rest of us learned in the course of reporting the story is we had known before that the president was very upset that attorney general jeff sessions recused himself from the russia investigation. what we've found out now is he actually dispatched the white house counsel don mcghan who is the top lawyer at the white house to essentially lobby jeff sessions not to do that. he had been c

jack goldsmith who served in the administration of george w. bush asked a question today about rod rosenstein, he talks about how in light of all of the reporting out there now that the interview with the president may be around questions that pertain to the obstruction of justice investigation not just thea ar narrow question of russian collusion, i wonder what you make of the question about whether rod rosenstein may have already recused himself and we just don't know about it. >> it's a fair question to ask, and i found rod rosenstein to be a seriously prosecutor, and all i know is that he asked for an opinion on this, when senator jeff sessions asked whether he should recuse, he was told by lawyers that he should and he did. i hope that question has been asked of independent lawyers because it does seem that there is a focus on obstruction of justice. >> thank you for spending some time with us. we're going to get reaction from everybody still here on our panel on the other site of this break, don't go anywhere. let's begin. yes or no? do y

our good friend jack goldsmith at harvard and i, wrote about this in an article called "the legal legacy of light print warfare." we argued that, especially during the obama administration, the united states had really moved toward a strategy along the lines you describe, relying on secret special forces units, cyber attacks. these are methods of warfare that allow the united states to fight from a distance, putting relatively few, not non-, e, american troops in harm's way. the danger of that of it is less likely to focus political attention on what is going on. you are more likely to have less political accountability, less likely to have congress engaged in serious discussions with the executive branch about are we waging war correctly? it is interesting that if one looks at the last year, we talked about updating a authorization for the use of military force or the war -- for the war against isis. probably, the event that in recent memory, focused congress's attention the most was the deaths of a handful of soldiers in niger. most people did not know we had operations there. who woul
