If he doesnt find something about russia in this endless and expensive investigation or witch hunt whatever you want to call it. the democrats are going nuts with the fact he was appointed but he can under the law serve for 210 days without senate confirmation. i doubt hes the permanent replacement. my guess is the president will find somebody with maybe a higher profile, could even be lindsey graham, might be a great choice. but this interim place holder attorney general certainly is capable an...

And the difference there is that rod rosenstein is a senate confirmed appointee. having gone through that process when he was appointed back at the beginning of 2017. and so to have someone in that role now who is not senate confirmed removes that check and balance that we have written into our constitution to protect us against abuse of power by the president. i dont know that the argument is clear-cut. there could certainly be exceptions for temporary vacancies. this statute puts a limit of 21...

When he was appointed back at the beginning of 2017. and so to have someone in that role now who is not senate confirmed removes that check and balance that we have written into our constitution to protect us against abuse of power by the president. i dont know that the argument is clear-cut. there could certainly be exceptions for temporary vacancies. this statute puts a limit of 210 days on it, but i think it is certainly a valid argument and one we might see argued in the courts. >> kim, some...

Capacity until a new attorney general can be appointed. and the difference there is that rod rosenstein is a senate confirmed appointee. having gone through that process when he was appointed back at the beginning of 2017. and so to have someone in that role now who is not senate confirmed removes that check and balance that we have written into our constitution to protect us against abuse of power by the president. i dont know that the argument is clear-cut. there could certainly be exceptions ...

The chances he will recuse himself from the russian probe? >> 5. >> you think he might do it? >> i mean, zero being the least chance. i would say theres a 5% chance. >> you think hes going to betray the president of the united states? >> because he might be interested in bidding for the job, and i think if he quashes the probe when there are serious evidence of malfeasance kills his chances of ever being attorney general beyond the 210 days he has. >> chris, the doj may have to make a decision. ...

Must have thought it through figuring they get whitacre into 210 days or whatever it is. do you think they knew theyre going to get into this thing where he and the presiden president -- this is hot water. >> i have a hard time believing these are actually errors. he wants to put people that are loyal to him and close to him in these high positions. what i found striking and i have not seen that particular clip that you showed at the againing of the segment was when he starts referring the argum...

210-day president that whitaker is there as acting attorney general. whitaker would be va advised to keep rosenstein play out this last leg of the investigation. whitaker has to face ethics issues with respect to whether or not he can pass the test of the office of professional responsibility and rules of overseeing the investigation that he has a predetermined point of view. im saying there is no way he can oversee this investigation. he is conflict and he shouldnt. >> those rules, what we are ...

Line, but he didnt. he went around to someone who was not confirmed by the united states senate. so he can serve in an acting capacity, i believe its for 210 days. ill remind you that will then take us obviously into the next congress at which point the majority by which he might then be able to confirm a new attorney general is likely to go up in the senate. ill also just mention, anderson, you know, partly i think what were seeing here today is the presidents mastery of changing the subject. w...

Presidents personal financial information or that of anyone in his family. he also suggested sort of telegraphed a way that mueller could -- his work could be curtailed by having his budget cut, making it essentially grind to a halt. and given that he can stay on the job as the acting attorney general for 210 days under the vacancies act, its actually foreseeable he could be around until the mueller probe is wrapped up. we dont have definitive timing on when mueller will wind everything down, bu...

Theyre know where to be seen. >> why do you think? >> i think because of things he said, he didnt think the investigation should go forward. >> he basically has 210 days to fulfill his duty of acting a.g. before trump puts somebody in. if somebody isnt confirmed, he could stay in and be stalled out. >> if the president is happy with him, theres no reason he couldnt do that. im sure he has a short list of people in mind hed love to put into the attorney general spot. >> muellers a smart guy. doe...
