MSNBCs Chuck Todd thinks all signs point to special counsel Robert Mueller making major moves on Friday.
President Donald Trump on Thursday called the inquiry into Russian meddling an illegal investigation.
This is the president feeling like theres a lot happening around him, the walls may be closing in on him, and I think hes lashing out, said Bloombergs Sahil Kapur on MSNBCs MTP Daily.
Republican strategist Brad Todd, however, said Mueller has a responsibility to know when hes gone past the time limit of when he has credibility with the public.

Team Trump Is Prepping a Robert Mueller Counter-Report

President Donald Trumps legal team is crafting a counter-report that will seek to delegitimize Special Counsel Robert Muellers investigation into Russian election meddling and present countervailing arguments.
Trumps personal attorney, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, told The Daily Beast in an interview on Thursday that part of his report would examine whether the initiation of the investigation was
legitimate or not.
According to Giuliani, the bulk of the report will be divided into two sections. One section will seek to question the legitimacy of the Mueller probe generally by alleging possible conflicts of interest by federal law enforcement authorities. The other section will respond to more substantive allegations of Trump campaign collusion with Russian government agents to sway the 2016 election, and obstruction of justice allegations stemming from, among other things, the presidents firing of former FBI director James Comey.
Though this latter section will focus on the meat of Muellers investigation, Giuliani acknowledged that he doesnt actually know what Muellers findings will look like, making the act of putting a counter-report together a bit more challenging.
