Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late-night series Real Time with Bill Maul

What a great day to be here. Slow news week.

I don't call him no drama Trump for no reason.

Yeah, last week he had just fired the FBI director for investigating his Russia ties, then he met with the Russians in the Oval Office.

Also while the Russians were in the office they wanted to freshen up his face paint and repair his puppet string.

Trump is always trying to prove that he doesn't need intelligence when he wants to just share it.

I would say I smell a rat except we're beyond smelling.

We're watching it with the pizza slice in his mouth.

So the good news this week, this is really good news, is we do have a special counsel Robert Molo the former head of the FBI is now going to take over this case.

And he is a great shooter and everybody agrees on that.

Yes, it is very good news.

Looks like the system is working.

And Miller's job will be to ask that famous question.

What did the president know and when did he see it on Fox and Friends?

Because that's all he knows.

And also to try to establish a link between dementia and overuse of hairspray.

Now it's funny because when they appointed Mueller yesterday the first statement from the White House.

Always the first statement is measured.

Please, let's withhold judgment until all the alternative facts come out.

And then of course at 4.25 this morning, Trump gets up to pee and starts tweeting and calls it the single greatest witch hunt in history.

Everything of course is the greatest in history.

The greatest witch hunt.
