he's a decorated combat veteran, served in vietnam, oversaw prosecutions of john gotti and manuel noriega. he believes in the rule of law. mueller will carry this out very thoroughly but also very slowly. i don't think this tactic is going to work. i think it hurts president trump. i think he should let this investigation go forward. talk about the economy, talk about jobs, you know, talk about his policies. and he's sort of fueling a lot of this coverage unintentionally, i think. >> all of you, thank you so much. i appreciate you joining us here on cnn this evening. >>> i need to get to something else here in our program, and talk about some other big news. are we moving on to the next segment? okay. all right. i want to ask about something else. caitlin, let me bring you back in. i apologize for that. the other big hearing was sessi sessions' hearing. i want you to watch this exchange between senator sessions today and then senator kamala harris. here it is. >> did you have any communication with any russian businessmen or any russian nationals? >> i don't believe i had any conversation
