Renato Mariotti: Trump Is Making It So Easy for Mueller To Show He Has Corrupt Intent

EXCERPT:

MARIOTTI: "Well, you know he has certainly been consistent in doing everything he possibly can to undermine the Mueller investigation and, frankly, he is building and further building the obstruction of justice case for Mueller. And Mueller can use all these statements that he's made to his aides against him. He could use those to try to prove up the president's corrupt intent. Now, the only caveat, of course, Erin, is what happens if Donald Trump is able to fire everyone who investigates him? I mean, that's really the end game for him here is, you know, he is making it so easy for Bob Mueller to show that he had corrupt intent. And the question is, will he be able to get away with it now? I -- we were on earlier in the show today, I mentioned that these investigations will live on even if Mueller is fired, and I really guess the question is, first of all, how dedicated is Trump to ending any investigation of himself and his allies? And will the Republican Party let him get away with it, because obviously they control Congress?"
