JOE DIGENOVA (GUEST): As I said on your show some time ago, for which I took a lot of heat when we did a podcast, we're in a civil war in this country. And let me tell you something, we are. And we're watching it. And Bob Mueller is right in the middle of it. And what he did today was a disgrace to the rule of law. No matter what anyone says.

LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): I think that we all as Americans have to pause in the media maelstorm, and Joe you've made this point before but it's worth repeating, of how serious it is when in a political season the gears of our legal and political establishment are turned by those with a political motivation. Politically motivated to either prevent the election win of an individual, the true meddling in the election which is what they were trying to do with their insurance policy and surveillance of Trump campaign officials, Carter Page etc. And then afterward with the Comey leak of the memo to the New York Times to get the thing published, to roll out the investigation, to spur the special counsel. I mean this was all the old establishment rearing up and trying to take down Trump during the campaign and after the campaign. And if they can do it to a populist conservative like Trump, why couldn't they do it to a liberal if they decided there was a liberal person who was a threat -- so I mean how do liberals think they're safe here? That's what I don't understand.

DIGENOVA: This was an amazing assault on an incoming President of the United States. And I will tell you, if they go to impeachment, you are going to see a roiling of this country like you have never seen before. Because what they are doing is, they never liked this result, they wanted her to be president, she didn't win because she was a lousy candidate, and now they want to strip him of his presidency. If they go down this route to impeachment, there is going to be a reaction in this country which the Democrats will regret. This is going to get very ugly, it's going to become just beyond anything that I can think of right now. Except that the anger is going to increase and increase and increase. There is only so long that a person and a system can take this type of assault. This is an illegitimate assault on a presidency.
