Comment on CNN legal analyst: The GOP and "Republican media ... have been agitating for the president to fire Mueller"

CNN legal analyst: The GOP and "Republican media ... have been agitating for the president to fire Mueller"

​PHIL MUDD: A couple things you're looking at here. First, if you think of the inspector general, remember the inspector general is looking at [the FBI's handling of investigations during the 2016 presidential campaign]. These are independent individuals, the inspectors general, who do not report to the FBI director. So when they conduct an investigation of whether there's wrongdoing within the staff on the Mueller team, they can do whatever they want.  [...] You can expect not only that the inspector general is looking at this with a pretty tight focus, but also that there will be recommendations to the Department of Justice and the FBI about action against the individuals involved. I'd expect some discipline, Alisyn.  CHRIS CUOMO (CO-HOST): Well, we've already seen some. And [Deputy Attorney General Rod] Rosenstein shared your apprehension yesterday, Phillip Mudd, because he seemed to lean on that: Well, you want to know my thoughts about Comey? I already put them out in my memo.
