Congressman Trey Gowdy had some tough words for Trump lawyer John Dowd for his comments yesterday about how the Mueller probe should end.

Dowd initially claimed he was speaking for President Trump on this, before scrambling to walk that back, but since then Trump has attacked the Mueller probe twice on Twitter.

“The President’s attorney,” Gowdy told Chris Wallace, “does him a disservice when he says that and when he frames the investigation that way.”

He said Mueller’s jurisdiction is very clear and has elements that have “nothing to do with collusion,” so the idea that he’s only looking at it is absurd.

“If you have an innocent client, Mr. Dowd, act like it!” Gowdy declared.

He also added that he hopes Mueller doesn’t get fired because he’s doing important work.
