Susan Glasser: House Republicans Are Acting Very Much as Trump’s Defense Lawyers in the Mueller Investigation

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
GLASSER: "Well, I think what we’re seeing this week is a very clear demonstration that at least on the House side, at least among certain Republicans, they’re acting very much as the president’s defense lawyers in this political war over how to interpret the investigation, which, in the end, we actually no idea both what Mueller ultimately is going to conclude around the allegations of not just obstruction, but potential collusion with Russians on the hacking. We have no idea what the evidence is. But already, I think this week, we saw very clearly, a strategy by Republicans to muddy the waters, to murky it up, and to cooperate with Donald Trump in his attacks on the institutions."
