Panetta: If Trump Tries Firing Mueller It Will Look Like He Has Something to Hide

‘We saw what happened when Richard Nixon engaged in the Saturday night massacre’

RUSH EXCERPT:
PANETTA: "Well, again, you know, we saw what happened when Richard Nixon engaged in the Saturday night massacre in the hope that somehow that might stem the investigation into watergate. That didn’t happen. It — it actually created even greater momentum in that investigation. So I think if the president were to make any effort to go after Bob Mueller, any effort like that would be viewed as indicating that the president really does have something to hide and probably would result in an even more vigorous investigation of just exactly what was involved here."
