John Avalon: “The Whole Point Of The Trump Team’s Legal Strategy Has Been To Influence The Court Of Opinion, To Run Down Mueller For Months And To Presumably Have Trump Benefit From That. It Does Not Seem To Have Worked.” JOHN AVALON: “I think what’s significant about these piping hot fresh poll numbers is the whole point of the Trump team’s legal strategy has been to influence the court of opinion, to run down Mueller for months and to presumably have Trump benefit from that. It does not seem to have worked. Impressions of Robert Mueller have improved over that period of time on his handling of the Russian probe.That to me is the starkest thing.

David Gregory: “I Think People Reject The Chaos That Swirls Around The President With The President At The Center Kind Of Directing That, And They Don’t Like The President Taking Down People Around Him, Institutions Around Him, Law Enforcement Institutions.” DAVID GREGORY: “I think people reject the chaos that swirls around the president with the president at the center kind of directing that, and they don’t like the president taking down people around him, institutions around him, law enforcement institutions, even where there may be problems. So much of this will be about what is actually found in a final report, what other charges might be brought.” [New Day, CNN, 9/12/18; Video]
