    RUSH EXCERPT:
    MELBER: "The president is not supposed to be involved in the justice Department and presseses don’t have the power to individually prosecute. For good reason. That is really what authoritarian regimes do. That’s how say Russia works. Not how the American constitution works. While President Trump there is saying today that he can’t be involved with how the doj and the FBI build cases, he is saying the opposite. He said he hopes they will and maybe he’ll have it out with them in that process."
