Protests across the country. You cant make this up, we have the Video Evidence tonight. This comes as the house overwhelmingly passed a new School Safety bill so its time to protect our kids in school the same way democrats protect themselves. Also brandnew tonight, the Acting Director of i. C. E. Is fiercely responding to nancy pelosi who called federal immigration authorities cowardly and families whose loved ones were killed by a criminal Illegal Immigrants are demanding that the doj prosecute this liberal mayor of oakland, california, and also tonight, the liberals are racing to attack the first female cia director nominee. Why . She was too tough on terrorists. What they wont tell you is that gina haskell Saved American lives. Also tonight, i have a special message. Tell your Republican Congress meant senators to watch. We have all of that new information and tonights breaking news monologue. Tonight we start with the Bombshell Development about former deputy fbi director Andrew M
The idea of possibliy resigning. Whats unclear is how serious that was. Whether he said Something Like i am willing to resign if the president wants me to or whether he said i intend to resign and im going to do it on monday. We dont know the exact nature of those conversations. Eli, i want to hear about your reporting. I want to show our viewers what phil rucker is talking about. Lets watch. I have a message for the president tonight. Under zero circumstances should the president fire anybody. If you are laying a trap for donald trump, this might be exactly how youd do it. Okay, professor, what will President Trump do now . Well, if hes smart, hell take advantage of this and not fire either any of these people, not mueller, not rosenstein, and not sessions. So this is important point because i think a lot of people are really scared after the
rosensteins people to come out and say, he expects to be fired. His people were putting that out to what end, we dont know at this point but cer
be able to officially retire, receive his pension, and other benefits and get about $200,000 in missed pension payments. in addition, the department agreed to expunge any mention of his firing from fbi personnel records. the agreement even made clear that he would receive the cuff links given to senior executives and a plaque with his mounted fbi credentials and badge. joining us now, nick confessore, msnbc political analyst and carol leonnig, msnbc contributor and coauthor of the book i alone can fix it. nick, something that was remarkable about andrew mccabe s treatment was that it came after jim comey s firing, which was so personal and so harsh and so brutal, but somehow, the maniacal obsession with firing mccabe the night before his retirement really did, as we said, sort of rank at the top of the political revenge stunts that donald trump managed to pull off.
comey, firing mccabe. his attacks on the doj, attacks on individuals in the doj, his attacks on rosenstein, his attempts to fire sessions. his attacks on bruce orr who is a career person in the doj. his attacks on the fbi. this president is willing to subvert major american institutions in the service of himself. and rosenstein has been in charge of the mueller investigation, making sure that mueller has the wherewithal and the freedom to pursue the investigation where it leads, which is what this country needs. i m very concerned that if they fire rosenstein, they ll put in somebody who will, in fact, constrain the investigation and we ll not find out what we need to find out, and we will not be able to contain the damage to our institutions that we depend on for our liberty. rod rosenstein and bob mueller are both republicans. is it a strange position to find yourself in where and you
but will you fire rod rosenstein based on this treachery? i don t want to comment on it until i get all the facts. i haven t gotten all the facts, but certainly it s being looked at in terms of what took place, if anything took place. and i ll make a determination some time later. but i don t have the facts. rod rosenstein s fate still hanging in the balance this hour. his critics bracing for a potential constitutional crisis. the top democrat on the judiciary committee saying we ve been watching a slow-moving saturday night massacre with donald trump firing comey and mccabe and his attacks on doj officials and special counsel mueller. if potus fires rod rosenstein, it would be a serious escalation in the case for obstruction of
