Jeff Zeleny: Trump Is Trying To Discredit Russia Probe Multiple Times Every Day

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BLITZER: "The 49 questions released the other day, those are just the start. Every one of the questions could have multiple follow-ups and every one could go on and on and on so this is a problem that the president potentially has. And let's say he refused to comply with Mueller's request, Jeff, I guess the -- Mueller could issue a subpoena.
ZELENY: "He could. And I think that is probably a one likely scenario and the president could win the political fight on this, which he clearly is trying to already work on. He's trying to discredit this investigation -- and really every day multiple times a day. On social media and in conversations. But I think a legal fight is risky for him to say the least here. Now the question is how long will this take? He's always said he wants to get this over with as quickly as possible. It is one of the reasons just a couple of months ago he said I will sit down with Bob Mueller. But we don't know how the Supreme Court will rule but it is a risk for him. But what we saw today at the White House, the rearank -- rearranging lawyers an bringing on someone skilled inside of the house and on impeachment proceedings, I think that is a sign that the White House -- the president is taking this very seriously. He calls it a witch hunt, but he lawyered up today in a very big way and there is a fight brewing. We don't know how it will end.
