Page 33 - Jeff Session News Today

Record levels and unemployment is low. those are all things that were trending in that direction for a while. i guess donald trump get some of the credit for the market janet yellin gets most of it. the moment they worried is when it looks like a constitutional crisis. the jeff sessions stuff has become of concern. >> its almost sort of a white house-free world, where the white house almost becomes irrelevant. that the president tweets about changing the policy on transservice members and the pe...

Campaign, now they have to think who is next and where do we go from here? when you look at jeff session and the president attacking him, well, now who could possibly be ag if next friday jeff sessions is there. >> thats right. its one of these things, are they thinking things through? >> there are badly enough establishment in the state department. i want to bring in erica martinson, she is the walk reporter for the alaska dispatch news, thank you for being here, i want to talk to you about the...

They were reacting to his leadership or lack of leadership in that case. >> health care. >> right, exactly. its not a foregone conclusion thats what has to happen. the republicans have put themselves in a situation where its becoming a foregone conclusion because theyve just backed themselves into a corner where there doesnt seem to be any good answer because theyve created this problem by promising to do something. they never had a plan for. and now even if they somehow did get it through, they...

Leaders for being so aggressive on immigration and some of these things. so he was very worried that if he did endorse trump and trump lost, which at that point in time, most people expect that he would pay a real price. i think sessions more than almost anybody else in trumps orbit really did kind of take a leap of faith because he believed in what trump purported to stand for. >> and the presidents rationale that he continues to espouse and that jeff sessions should have told him early on that...

And square. hes the outsider. and as rush limbaugh was saying today, others have said, theres a silent coup here with the washington establishment trying to take him out. hes very aware of that. gary tuchmans report shows that there are a lot of people out there that really believe in him and they see that theres an assault on him. >> you know why they believe in him, because according to the president, hes the second best president in the history of the united states after abraham lincoln. i th...

>> jeff, if -- jeff lord, if jeff sessions did step down, resign or was fired, how damaging for the president in terms of his base. one thing one can say all along is the presidents base has held. this is the first time you are hearing rumbling from hard-core supporters of the president saying do not do this to jeff sessions. >> i think there may be a bit of a problem with that. and more to the point, i think it would be hell on wheels to get a successor appointed because he would want to, if he...

If you so choose. >> you cant unrecuse. recusal is a voluntary act. you -- there is no law requiring recusal, but once you recuse yourself, it makes no sense to unrecuse yourself. >> its interesting you have rudy giuliani saying he was right to recuse himself. >> and mitch mcconnell. and half the republicans in the senate. the reason they say he was right to recuse himself is that he was right to recuse himself. that is not a close legal question. the only person who thinks he was wrong is donal...

Want to just introduce you to him for a second. you know who im talking about. who am i talking about? nobody knows right now because weve kept it a surprise. senator jeff sessions! >> wow! what a crowd this is! >> back now with the panel. maggie, just in terms of the presidents mind-set, what does it say that he so easily went from that to where he is now? >> it says that he is exactly the same person weve known for the last three years and he is the same person he was before that. he is a deal...

Related to gangs in new york on friday as well. this is the play book that the president resorted to repeatedly as a candidate when he was having rough moments, which was hed play very hard to the base. i dont think its a coincidence its on the issue jeff sessions has focused on which is illegal immigrants. i think hes trying to cleave people who are upset from this situation with sessions toward him in general. >> he points word pictures, hes very good at this what ever the subject. i think thi...

Wonderful person. otherwise he has this habit as weve seen, when he wants to seek distance from someone such as paul manafort, its, i barely know that person. he was his campaign chairman and started inching away from him in a pronounced way. this is who he is and how he is. anyone who is surprised by how hes treating jeff sessions should only be surprised he is doing it from the west wing, not that hes doing it at all. >> but its fascinating he does this from a distance, that he talks in front ...
