“Here’s the deal, Mr. President,” Corallo told him. “If you’re going to get a special counsel, you couldn’t get a better guy. Mr. President, Jim Comey and Bob Mueller, despite what you might think, they’re not best friends. There is no conflict. And Bob Mueller is the most honest guy in town. You’ve got to understand, this guy is a public servant’s public servant. He’s only interested in facts. He doesn’t have a political ax to grind. He’s not for you or against you when it comes to the law. He really is as honest a human being as this country’s ever produced.”
