RUSH EXCERPT: 
WATTS: "I think the idea that the president would allude to the conversations possibly being surveilled. He’s surveil of his own is extremely dangerous to the country. You’re basically saying I don’t trust my own leaders inside my own government. And what President Trump doesn’t understand with the loyalty pledge or whatever he’s claiming is that law enforcement is not a team sport. This is not about Republicans or Democrats. The FBI director has a tenured term. He can push through the political pressures back and forth. We’ve seen it with director muller before and Director Comey now. By the way, they work for GOP. These are Republican nominees to the department of justice. So they are following the rule of law. They’re trying to main their Independence. You can look at Director Comey. He was invited by president Obama to play basketball. He would not do that because he didn’t want to give off the impression he was being influenced, coerced, or biassed. He was trying to maintain his Independence.”
