Marc Short: Only the Media Is Talking About Trump Firing Mueller, Not the W.H.

CHUCK TODD: Let me ask you about the news overnight. I know that there is a Trump uh a lawyer for the Trump transition, Trump for America, that says that Bob Mueller’s investigation got the transition emails, ptt.gov is how all those email addresses end, got those government-issued or government-used emails um unlawfully. Mueller’s office says that’s not true. A statement this morning, “We have obtained emails in the course of our ongoing criminal investigation, we have secured either the account owner’s consent or appropriate criminal process.” Implying perhaps that there was a subpoena to GSA, do you believe these were unlawfully –

MARC SHORT: Chuck

CHUCK TODD: Gotten

MARC SHORT: Chuck thankfully I’m not in communication with the transition lawyer for the Trump team. The reality is that this administration has complied in every single possible way with the special counsel, tax payers have spent millions and millions of dollars on this investigation that has not yet proven any sense of collusion with the Russians. I think the American people are ready to turn the page.

CHUCK TODD: Ok, but is the president going to continue to cooperate?

MARC SHORT: He is continuing to cooperate—

CHUCK TODD: Or is he setting the stage—

MARC SHORT: No, come on, Chuck.

CHUCK TODD: For firing Bob Mueller?

MARC SHORT: No, there’s no conversation—

CHUCK TODD: There’s no way he’s going to fire him?

MARC SHORT: There’s no conversation about that whatsoever in the White House, Chuck.

CHUCK TODD: None whatsoever?

MARC SHORT: You guys keep bringing that up. We have continued to cooperate in every single possible way with that investigation.

CHUCK TODD: Ok. Marc Short, I will leave it there. I appreciate it. Thanks for coming on and sharing your views.

MARC SHORT: Thanks Chuck, thanks for having me.
