EXCERPT:
WALLACE: "I know that nothing is sacred with this man, but do you sense that anyone around him is trying to pump the brakes on the character assassination of Bob Mueller?" BAKER: "People around him definitely are. This is, in fact, connected to the other thing you were talking about, the blowup of the legal team. Some of the lawyers have told him don’t go after Robert Mueller. First of all, this is a good and a smart guy, he's a person of integrity. Second of all, whether he is or not, he has that reputation and it will not be to your benefit. In fact, some lawyers have said to the President in effect, 'Look, if you didn’t do anything wrong and we think you don’t have anything to worry about in terms of this Russia investigation, then you should want Robert Mueller as your special counsel because if he finds that, if that's his conclusion, it will have great credibility on both sides of the aisle so don't tear him down.'"
