Argue illegal votes should be counted. i have to end the conversation here. >> noncitizen votes are illegal votes. >> im sorry, youre not speaking about facts right now. >> that is not on cnns website. there is no evidence of large-scale voter fraud happening. and it is true the florida department of law enforcement doesnt have an investigation because there was no complaint made about illegal fraud. there were election monitors throughout this election process. >> absolutely. >> there is still ...

Them all counted either. >> kerry sanders. thank you. and alina maxwell and aaron blake, a senior reporter with "the washington post." aaron, ill start with you, on what are republicans basing their allegations of fraud? >> well, right now, its based upon a whole lot of suspicion. basically, its innuendo at this point. there is a threat of something that theyre pulling at here. and its what we were just talking about there, which is confusing ballots. the fact that the broward county elections p...

Might be on my twitter. hes a hard right politician. and hes been denouncing the mueller investigation as the commentator on cnn before he joined the justice department. the new york times said he did that to get donald trumps attention in hopes of getting a job. its pretty clear to reasonable people that trump brought this man in as a way of reigning in robert mueller. im not sure that will work at this point, though, but its very clear that many people think he should recuse himself because he...

Fishing expedition, which is very dangerous to the republic. >> jeremy, come back to you for this. that is basically like not just -- not trump friendly. doesnt echo trump. almost as if scripted by trump. talking points, things that trump has said to "the new york times" and others. does that not make it feel very much like those comments were an audition for this job? >> yeah, they were job qualifications exactly right. and of course, the reason theyre concerned about it is because those financ...

What stood out? >> not a man who fits the profile are somebody you would expect to be appointed the attorney general of the united states, even in an acting capacity, bu hes essentially a politician. he was a right-wing political commentator. dabbled in fringe theories about ben gauzy and about the clintons, and -- look, to the central question, he has made public conclusions about every question that is under investigation in this mueller investigation he is now having to supervise. he said tha...

Or form. lets end this investigation. we can get on with the peoples business. >> can i ask you real quick one of the things is the president -- the underlying premise of why the president fired sessions is because sessions mislead him frankly sessions took a job knowing he would have to recuse himself. he was going to be the faithful stewart and leader. shortly after taking the job, he e refused himself and wasnt able to do the true leader. everyone is jumping to conclusions about what this mea...

In any way, shape, or form by our campaign. lets end this investigation we can get on with the peoples business. >> laura: sean, i know it -- >> i think one of the things that is forgotten, the underlying premise of why the president fired sessions was because of the sessions misled him, frankly. sessions took a job took a -- o be the faithful steward and leader of a department. shortly after taking the job, recused himself, thereby not able to be the true, full leader that he was appointing to ...

Are you there personally? >> im here because 8 million floridians, including my own constituents, cast ballots. in 65 of the 67 counties in florida, everything happened perfectly. even in counties that were just ravaged by a category four hurricane a month ago, they were able to get ballots counted by the wee hours of wednesday morning. my constituents are in jeopardy if we allow banana republic style voting to occur in broward county. this isnt the first time in 2016 with debbie wasserman schul...

What do you think, if you look at everything he said as a cnn correspondent and look at his positions and how much they echo trump, what conclusions do you draw? >> first of all, i start with the constitution which says he shouldnt be there to begin with. theres a fundamental issue that goes beyond the russia probe to simply his appointment. we have a constitution that provides for advice and consent by the senate. he picked a guy out. you, in the blue shirt, come on. be my attorney general. you...

Rosenstein is a lifelong doj employee. hes been scrupulous about trying to appear to be by the book, trying to bend over backwards to comply with rules. whitaker in the meantime, as we reported just about an hour ago, has said just last year that he had already forejudged the conclusions of the mueller probe. he already claimed this probe, which he is now supervising, was essentially without merit. and that is something that without a doubt will rankle not only career officials in the department...
