MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT ,TRUMP COMPLETELY DESTR0YS SESSIONS
president Trump sounding off the commander-in-chief blasting Attorney General Jeff Sessions in
an interview with the hill saying this quote I don't have
an attorney general it's very sad the president long disappointed with
sessions over his decision very early on in the administration to recuse himself from
the Russia investigation he also expressed frustration with sessions in other
areas saying I'm not happy at the border I'm not happy with numerous
things not just this here now brie Payton a staff writer for the Federalist
brie is there any way that sessions can stay on as Attorney General after the midterms
yeah I mean really that's the question of the hour and I do think the political
makeup in Congress is going to really determine that right I mean if
the Republicans are able to hold the majority in the Senate I think that that's going to
be a key factor in whether or not Jeff Sessions does indeed stay
I think that if Republicans do you know regain control of the Senate I
think that we could easily see a different person get confirmed in that spot but I think
that right now the math is purely political and I think Donald Trump
understands that and I think
perhaps the reason why he hasn't yet fired jeff sessions or gotten rid of him or you
know acted upon all of these verbal outbursts that he's been expressing
over the past couple of months I think that you know he
understands that it's political and he's looking ahead at November looking ahead at the midterms
and understands that he needs to be strategic here well given the
fight of our Brett Kavanaugh being appointed to the Supreme Court at this
point it looks so smart that the president hasn't moved to fire jeff
Sessions because getting him getting another Attorney General confirmed even though it
seemed like just several weeks ago Chuck Grassley before these developments
with the Cavanaugh
appointment it seemed like Grassley had opened the door to possibly hearing about a replacement
for Jeff Sessions but again smart move in hindsight yeah absolutely
yeah I mean again this is all politics at this point and right now
definitely the recent developments with Kevin all these accusations that have been made
against him have definitely thrown a monkey wrench into a lot of plans
of people on the hill I mean Republicans are looking at
potentially a narrow window in which they have in order to pass a bunch of legislation
and kind of cement the Republican legacy right I mean they've been
able to have control of both houses and the presidency and that could very
well and easily change in November so
they have a short window of being able to pass a bunch of legislation and kind of cement
that legacy so I think it is clear that you know it's all political at
this point putting aside the the politics of the
situation do you do you feel that the sessions has run the department well it seems like
the bureaucracy is running him more than he is running the bureaucracy
and in term and a lot of issues not just the border but all of
these investigations he what's happening there why you know it's one thing to recuse yourself
from Russia but they're a whole lot of other things he could have
done to reshape that they're turning over the data of the documents
that the Congress has everything jason Chaffetz has talked about Bryan Pagliano basically
turned his back on two subpoenas from the Oversight Committee and
Chaffetz himself went to Jeff sets and just said you got a equal
application of the law here you've got to prosecute this guy for not showing up for
these two subpoenas and Jeff Sessions went I'm not going to do that that's
a clinton a clinton guy so bri answer Steve's question yeah I
definitely think that it's become abundantly clear in these releases earlier releases of
text messages and emails and you know o IG investigations
I think it's clear that there's a faction of employees within the FBI that have you
know clearly acted kind of gone rogue and done their own thing and done what
they wanted to do and I think that we're definitely the dynamic between
sessions and rod Rosenstein wall the Moller investigation you know is under
way I think it is clear that there is a flank of the FBI that sessions does not have control
over but I do think that sessions throughout his tenure in office has
executed other aspects of Donald Trump's legacy and agenda right I mean
cracking down on the border protecting religious liberty and doing other things like that
so there that sessions is in the same mind I want to get to this real quickly I bid to
stop Nancy Pelosi a group of House Democrats have signed a letter to change
rules for electing Speaker bring your reaction to this move to make sure
Pelosi doesn't regain her formal role yeah I'm not at all surprised I mean Democrats
have been speaking out that
there needs to be leadership changed particularly among the house for I mean probably a year
and a half right now right with Linda Sanchez kind of kicking off
that firestorm against Nancy Pelosi so I definitely am not at all surprised
by this and remember when Nancy Pelosi and her kind of quasi filibuster in order to push
individuals to vote a certain way when it came to shutting down
the government in order to protect the dreamers her entire caucus virtually
voted against her while she was trying to do that and she tried to save face later on
by saying yeah I was filibustering for this one thing but I really
wanted the complete opposite outcome it's clear that you know her
caucus doesn't respect her in this and the only reason why they kept her in
that role is because she's such a good fundraiser it's like taking your mom with you to the
mall wait I want to get I want to get Maria in here she is this incredible
fundraiser them read do you think she stays if do you think that
what happens if the Democrats do you take the house I think there will be a big leadership
fight that Nancy Pelosi has never had to face the challenge is that
there's not a natural successor Joe Crowley actually was one I really wanted
him to be the next speaker and he will not be in the next Congress so right now there's
a lot of jockeying inside the Democratic caucus to see who could replace
Nancy Pelosi as a Democrat what I don't want is the first thing we do if
we take the house get into a really
nasty leadership fight Nancy Pelosi is a historic figure I do though think it's time for new
leadership the Republicans are gonna get it Paul Ryan's leaving you know
I know you know that she's gonna use her gender as a sword and a stick to
whack people with she's gonna use it as a immuno shield and then a stick a woman may
run against her because the wealthy yeah at the end of the day you have
to run somebody against her and we're worrying that caucus what kind of
public persona is gonna be out there all right and being able to raise money is a big thing
so if that's all she's good at that's being so could vote counting though
inside the
caucus and there but there are other people now who are raising money there are other
people who are stepping up there's just not one one person everyone's
getting behind yeah but there's only one person who said there's
two thousand dollar bonuses crumbs pathetic I think never letting it go no because you
know what two thousand dollars is not crumbs to anybody in this country
that's great bumper sticker though every paid thank you so much good
to see bring meanwhile political storm here know the sort of storm here the president
blasting his Attorney General yet again repeated charges against what he's
doing that's hurting lawmakers on his side to the federal is senior editor
Molly Hemingway update me on the president's beef with sessions on this
well there are so many problems that President Trump has with sessions and some of them are
quite legitimate recently though he tweeted that he was opposed
that the Department of Justice had indicted two sitting congressmen so
soon before an election and that these were safe seats that Republicans held and so it
was sort of politically inappropriate to go after them at this time
it is true that the Department of Justice generally used to try to avoid
indicted people right before elections that's something that's kind of gone away in recent
years but this is ridiculous that you would say that one of
the reasons why you shouldn't go after them is because they were in safe
safe districts for your political party that's just as bad as when the
Department of Justice was politicized under President Obama when he would say that Eric
Holder was his wingman or when he weighed in on the Clinton investigation
while she was still being investigated so just generally a lot of
blame to go around here um be that as it may obviously the president isn't firing him and
it's pretty clear the jetsons isn't offering to quit maybe other stuff is
going behind the scenes that I'm not seeing but this is weird the whole thing
is weird well what's really weird is that our Attorney General was sidelined based on
a sort of crazy theory of Russia collusion and he was he accused himself
from anything overseeing either the Clinton campaign or the Trump
campaign which turns out to be two of the areas where we really could use some leadership
and political accountability
and so I think Jeff Sessions what tremendously naive and it's a disservice to the American
people and to the president they elected that he has sidelined
himself and given authority to someone who's also implicated in both of
these things remember that rod Rosenstein whose role intents and purposes the acting
Attorney General and many of these things was the guy who recommended
firing James Comey he also signed off on one of those FISA
applications this riddled with information that should not have gone before the secret
court that determines whether you can spy on an American citizen we really do have a
problem with the Department of Justice not being
credible right now or seeming to have
political bias and how it handles investigations that have that are politically sensitive and
it would be really good to have some accountability which
we just don't have and they're avoiding responding to Congress as
Congress tries to get information about some of the ways that these investigations were
handled and so it really is a mess and it's a mess in part because
Jeff Sessions recused himself when he really was needed well is a big
sin and maybe a regretful error but it is what it is and it happened a long time ago
you could argue the point if the president was so flummoxed and and
