sessions is an honest man. he did not say anything wrong. he could have stated his response more accurately. but it was clearly not intentional. this whole narrative is a way of saving face for democrats losing an election that everyone thought they were supposed to win. the democrats are overplaying their hand. they lost the election and now they have lost their grip on reality. the real story is of all the illegal leaks of classified and other information. it is a total witch hunt. the white house hoping it can have one day today with the president going off to orlando to highlight education in which their narrative doesn t get blown off the headlines. shannon: there is also this story now that vice president pence used a private email account as governor and actually was hacked. this resulted as a freedom of information act request by usa today. while he was governor of
they re trying to benefit and obviously our elected officials are trying to do the same thing. shannon: the new york times, you have to give it to them are focused on the trump campaign and digging and finding things. when they found out about the meeting that took place at trump tower after the election. the president was then president-elect. the campaign was over. here is what the white house spokeswoman said to the new york time. they discussed the relationship and made sense to establish a line of communication. jared has had as many as two dozen foreign country leaders and representsives. what do the trump team down. disclose any possible meeting no matter how the left is excited to find anything to put it out. side tracks from the conversation about getting things done on the hill. the speech tuesday night that the white house felt good about.
hoping is that eventually investigators will claw back far enough and somebody on the trump campaign knew the russians were hacking the dnc to hurt hillary clinton and they ll be able to keep the administration bound up from doing anything at all. bill: mccaskill was last on the list. she tweeted the following. a senior member of armed services never received a call or request from russian ambassador for a meeting. never met one-on-one with him. only to correct herself a short time later when she said four years ago went to a meeting of many senators about international adoptions. russian ambassador attended. there were a lot of people at the table. this stuff happens and to think it s exclusive to one party more than the other is misleading. at least. absolutely. it was alexander hamilton who said never tweet. [laughter] have a good weekend. great to see you.
shannon: you can often do that. following with written clarification which he says he will do by today. want the play a little of charles krauthammer had to say. he has had several weeks since that incident. if it was an innocent mistake and he forgot about the meeting he should simply have gone to the committee, written them and said as he said in his press conference, i should have added yes, i had two meetings. he never did. so why? to me it reminds me of the flynn case. this is a cover-up in search of a crime. shannon: there are democrats as you know who say the crime is perjury and calling for charges to be investigated and levied against the attorney general. is that anything beyond pure politics? well, i think that there is a lot of politics involved in virtually everything going on right now. i just think again it s a question of general sessions believing that he answered the question that was posed to him. generally as a matter of
move here? let s talk about it with tom dupree. let s talk about how this recusal thing works. from here it would go to the assistant attorney general but the person that the president wants in that role is not yet nominated. where do we go? the person who will oversee the investigation in the short term would be the acting deputy attorney general who is the u.s. attorney for virginia. he was an obama served under president obama and president trump put him in the position after he fired sally yates. i think it s important to note this is probably short term because the new deputy attorney general rod rosen stein will likely be put up before the senate later this month. it probably won t be too long before he is in position and would take control of any investigation. shannon: he would oversee anything that would involve the attorney general potentially or connections to the campaign.
