What do you make of the president&#8217;s attacks on him. Do you have confidence in Bob Mueller, and if he were fired, how would you react to something like that?<\/p>\n<p>ROBERT GATES: Well, I think, I mean the Bob Mueller I know is a man of extraordinary integrity and character. I can&#8217;t think of anybody who would do a more honest and stand-up job of conducting an investigation. And, you know, people need to be prepared, people are assuming he&#8217;s going to come to one conclusion. But people need to be prepared that a guy like Bob Mueller may come to a different conclusion that will elate some people and anger some people.<\/p>\n<p>ROBERT GATES: So, but I think he&#8217;s, I have total confidence in him.<\/p>\n<p>CHUCK TODD: And do you think Congress should do whatever it took to protect him if somehow the president decided to fire him?<\/p>\n<p>ROBERT GATES: Well, this is tough because it is an executive branch appointment, and I don&#8217;t know how you have the Congress extends an umbrella of protection legally through legislation over what is an executive branch nomination, or appointment. I would say this, I think that the one thing that can be done is to try and figure out how to make it clear the magnitude of the political cost that would be incurred should he be fired.<\/p>\n<p># # #<\/p>\n<p>For more information contact:<\/p>\n<p>Joya Manasseh<br \/>\nNBC News<br \/>\no: (212) 664-2498<br \/>\nc: (917) 587-1284<br \/>\ne: <a href=\"mailto:joya.manasseh@nbcuni.com\">joya.manasseh@nbcuni.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>__<\/p>\n<p><strong>NBC NEWS&#8217; &#8220;MEET THE PRESS WITH CHUCK TODD&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/media.ne.cision.com\/l\/ggsgsjiz\/media.ne.cision.com\/l\/flwkertw\/www.nbcnews.com\/meet-the-press\">Meet the Press with Chuck Todd<\/a>&#8221;\u00a0is where newsmakers come to make news \u2014 setting the political agenda and spotlighting the impact Washington decision-making has on Americans across the country.
