the hill also reports, quote, with at least gop senators thom tillis and lindsey graham joining democrats in supporting the bill, it's expected to have judiciary votes but it faces an uphill climb in passing the conservative house. the senator of utah said if a bill to protect mueller should be debated on the senate floor. >> i don't think so, and i don't think anybody is going to -- i don't think the president is going to be so stupid as to do something like that. >> that's good enough for you, just the idea that the president wouldn't do this so we don't need to pass it? >> that's right, and we ought to let the president be the president, but i don't think he's about to do that. he would take such criticism that it wouldn't be worth it to him. >> meanwhile, the "wall street journal" reports tonight president trump was given a clear warning about his personal attorney michael cohen cooperating with investigators, potentially. quote, one of president donald trump's longtime legal advisers said he warned the president in a phone call friday that michael cohen would turn against the preside

lindsay and i started working on it, thom tillis and chris coons came up with their version. we've married the versions. i'm excited that chuck grassley understands that this is a bill of merit not only for now but in the ages and not only held hearings on it i mope will mark this bill up and vote it out of committee. >> what do you think has changed? it seemed there was a lot of interest last summer, we may have had you on to talk about it, that interest waned. it seemed stalled. if you had asked me to bet on whether it would get a vote on committee, i would have said no. what's changed? >> a lot of folks of good conscience saying we've seen two separate occasions where we're hearing reports the president was going to move to fire mueller. we've seen consistent with his behavior that it can be impulsive, it can be unpredictable. i think we need this back stop for our democracy as opposed to lurching us into a constitutional crisis. sober minds see this as not at indictment of the president but as a sign of the times and something we're worried about and a responsible thing f

. >> republican senator thom tillis wrote an op ed in the "washington post."e is one of the cosponsors of this bill in the united states senate to essentially protect mueller from being fired. to make it difficult for the president to directly fire mueller. and he makes the case that this is actually in the best sbrz of the president that all the speculation about will he or won't he, says letting the investigation run its course is in the best interest of the country and is the only oopgs to ensure that the american people have trust in this process but also it's good or the president. do you concur? >> what i have heard from the white house over and over again is that the president not going to fire mueller.i don't think it is a necessary step. he said if i were going to fire him i would have fired him a long time ago. what i would say, it is time for this investigation to come to a conclusion. we haven't seen any evidence of russia collusion. we are now seeing the investigation go outside the scope that it was initially intended for. and we are coming up on

one, the senator, thom tillis has a solution for how to end the narrative. his solution is this bill basically that would protect robert mule pert he's out with this new open ed this morning out of the post. he says if the president removes the special counsel without good cause it would result in swift bipartisan backlash and shake the country's faith in the integrity of our legal system. he continues while the president is frustrated with the investigation, i don't believe he would ultimately remove mueller and the white house and legal's team have indicated he does not intend do so. but then he says this bill becoming law would remove that narrative from the conversation. do you think the white house will find that argument persuasive? >> i totally here that from republicans that they believe this narrative about the paper for trump removing mueller is actually being driven by democrats who want that to be a topic of speculation and it's not grounded in any serious discussions in the white house. that being said, i do think that this bill could provide tr

there's been some movement and interest from thom tillis, chuck grassley, republican, as well. this is what mitch mcconnell had to say about it today. take a listen. >> there's a move afoot among some of your colleagues just to make sure the president doesn't rid of mueller to institutionally shield mueller from being fired. how do you feel about that? >> that's not necessary. there's no indication that mueller's going to be fired. i don't think the president's going to do that. just as a practical matter, why would he sign it? i'm the one who decides what we take to the floor. that's my responsibility as the majority leader. we'll not be having this on the floor of the senate. >> what do you think about that? >> you don't build a hurricane wall when you see katrina five miles out from the shore. there's a basis to conclude that bob mueller potentially could be fired by this president. let's put in place a mechanism that would prevent that from happening. think about the chaos that would be unleashed in there country, the constitutional crisis that this nation would go have to

if thom tillis and others want to protect mueller. >> neil: and chuck grassley. >> what business doesonnell have saying we're not going to do this. >> thinks it's not going to happen. if it gives the american public also reassurance. >> do it. >> neil: if you fire special prosecutor regardless, you are going it pay for it? >> another thing, no matter what president trump says or does, neil, there is going to be criticism lodged against him. everyone is going to say he is trying to cover for something. when in fact we have not seen any russia collusion. >> neil: all right, guys. i understand. please stop. we have more. you do all this research on a perfect car, then smash it into a tree. your insurance company raises your rates. maybe you should've done more research on them. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. switch and you could save $782 on home and auto insurance. call for a free quote today. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. >> neil: this story in bloomberg about rod rosenstein not telling the

republican senator thom tillis is now pressing the senate for action on his bill, legislation to protectert mueller's position. and also, tomorrow night there is a scheduled meeting at the white house. a dinner at the white house. this is for multiple sources saying that it's for speaker paul ryan, majority leader mitch mcconnell, house majority leader kevin mccarthy, senate majority whip john cornyn will dine with president trump tomorrow evening at the white house. the white house official schedule lists the dinner to take place at 6:30 p.m. that is the preferred dinnertime for junior high school students and 71-year-old presidents. and so what would you expect the congressional leadership, the republican leadership to be saying to the president about firing the special prosecutor tomorrow night? >> if they cared about the country, lawrence, they would tell the president remember who you told the country you were going to fight for. you were going to make sure that people's paychecks were growing, that they had health care security, that they would be able to see their kids do better b

thom tillis of north carolina talking about getting behind some bill to protect mueller.the house you basically hearing in. here is paul ryan talking to chuck todd this weekend. take a listen. >> do you believe that if the senate passes this bill to protect mueller, protect the firing, you'll bring it up in the house? >> i don't think it's necessary. i don't think he is going to be a fired. >> insurance isn't necessary, but you buy it. this is an insurance policy. >> first of all, i don't think he should be fired. i think he should be left to do his job circumstances that enough? >> chuck todd's point, you could take a step further, right? this is like saying i'm not going to get, in for my haas because i don't think it's going to get robbed but in this case the robber has told you he is trying to rob your house. he told his associates to case it. he even tweeted hey, i'm looking at your house. >> he is playing outside with a boom box with a song i'm going rob you. >> if wouldn't just get insurance, you would get heavy-duty security. it is absolutely remiss of any member
