Now. >> well, he didnt, quote, fire everybody right now, but he did fire sessions or had kelly fire him. as you know, the president never seemed to be able to get over the fact that sessions recused himself from the russia investigation and there are big questions about his replacement, whether he might be asked to recuse himself or whether he should recuse himself over past statements hes made. ma matt quhew whittaker was a cnn legal commentator. heres what he said back in july of 2017. >> i ca...

Will there be one? the "washington post" writes this. some embattled officials including jeff sessions expected to be fired or actively pushed out by trump after months of bitter recriminations. other cabinet officials including defense secretary mattis, zinke and homeland security secretary kristjen nielsen face uncertain futures. >> i think the session things anybody who read the twitter feed should be well aware of. two things have prevented him from dismissing sessions, the mueller probe and...

If they do win, well see a quick move to consolidate along those lines by the president and the republicans in the party to just destroy every part of inquiry that exists? >> theres no question about it. the health of our democracy is on the ballot this november. its as simple as that. are we going to, in fact, have a completion of an inquiry as to whether or not the russians, in collusion with the trump campaign, try to compromise our presidential election? thats all thats on the ballot. and th...

Because they know that the investigations that the house and the senate will conduct will ensure that every single bit of information is out there. so even if they fired mueller, or fire sessions, or rosenstein, that the house and senate will be on the job they were doing back in 1974 during the nixon impeachment process. >> you mentioned the supreme court. there was news today about a deal that was struck by the chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell for essentially, i think, a voice vote on 15 judi...

Developing over the last several decades right now in what is perhaps the most politically interesting relationship in washington. >> go ahead. >> trump has succeeded in defining our expectations. hes probably going to fire sessions and rosenstein after the election. really? what does that look like on november 8th. as long as the investigation -- the mueller investigation doesnt end november 7th. he can do a lot of damage. so i am very worried -- >> are you still running ads about saving muelle...

Before the midterms. i dont think that jeff sessions is in any kind of danger before the midterms. i dont think the president would go so far as to blow up the republican party in that way. it would just create mass panic. and the same kind of goes for rosenstein. i dont think that he would make any moves, especially now because republicans are salivating on the thought of getting rosenstein before congress to testify under oath about and kind of make a public spectacle about whether or not he a...

Being -- going away, being undercut. the guard rails being chipped away at. mcgahn is leaving, mattis could leave. he wants desperately to fire sessions. maybe hell add rosenstein after election day. it could be -- >> picture of the red wedding. we have more to talk about. was rod rosenstein serious when he talked about wearing a wire? well talk to one of the reporters who broke this bombshell "new york times" report. and the restraints are off after making it four days, congratulations, witho...

Republicans. it certainly moved republican members of congress to go along. and moved republican voters to be somewhat more skeptical of the mueller investigation than they were at the beginning. that peaked. that assault has run out of steam. if anything now the trend is a little bit the other way. only 61% of republicans dont like the mueller investigation. you can say 61% is a big number, bigger than i would like it to be, but not 80 or 90%. it limits trumps ability to do what he would like t...
