matt whitaker here. we've had him on the show a number of times. this is from attorney john q. barrette about a conversation he says he had in the greenoom before their joint appearance. he says whitaker told me in june of 2017 he was flying from iowa to n.y.c. to be on cnn regularly because he was hoping to be noticed as a trump defender and, through that, to get a trump judicial appointment back in iowa. >> trevor: devious and impressive. he knew trump spends all day watching cnn, so he wasn't just trash talking mueller for no reason. he was trying to lure the president in. basically whitaker was laying traps for trump and worked because trump slid in the d.m.s like i.d.t.f. -- down to fire sessions. ( laughter ) but whitaker's plans to get trump's attention on tv worked better than expected because all he wanted was to be a judge in iowa and now he's the acting attorney general. that's like applying to be a cashier at ross dress for less and they're, like, forget cashier, you're ross!

matt whitaker takes over. so if that's the case if they were pipelined if they've already been, the word some would use socialized within the department of justice, which just means gone through and given the greenht because bob mueller is not king of the hill. he's not ken starr. he has to report up. >> he has a boss. >> then, sure, those can come forward, but he could, if they have not been socialized in that way, meaning if they have not been approved already by rod rosenstein, essentially what matt whitaker can do is start asking question after question after question to slow the process down, if not actually say, i think this is unwarranted. so under the department of justice rules, essentially his boss, bob mueller's boss can say i think this is unwarranted under the investigation so i'm going to say no. >> jeremy bash, let me ask you, the -- that's one example of a way in which whitaker could try to kneecap mueller. name a couple other ways in which he could try to kneecap mueller and also, and this will open up a larger discussion of this, talk a little about how bob mueller, given that none of the things that have happened here were not readily anticipatable. what he can do to circumven
