Steve bannon, jeff sessions, rod rosen steen, who is the newest member of the trump club of suspects, men who we have a right to suspect might consider loyalty to donald trump more important than loyalty to the constitution. a month after president ford took that oath of office, he pardoned richard nixon. richard nixon accepted the pardon knowing acceptance is the equivalence of a admission of guilt. president nixon said that the way i tried to deal with water gai gate was the wrong way is a bur...

I want to go to something that reuters is reporting that is very important, saying attorney general jeff session and deputy attorney general rod rosenstein had wanted a heads-up from comey about what he would say at a may 3rd hearing about his handling of the investigation about hillary clintons e-mail serve and so forth. and john, that looks like the deputy attorney general reaching in to james comeys territory in a very uncomfortable way for comby. >> yes. in a way that has wide by been consid...

Department. the white house spokesman sean spicer said when he announced this, the president has accepted the recommendation of the attorney general and the deputy attorney general regarding the dismissal. what i learned, what my sources told me, is that was not at all how the firing happened. it was president trump who decided to fire comey because of his growing anger over the russia investigation and other issues. what actually happened is that trump summoned his attorney general, jeff sessio...

Close to donald trumps in size and scope. i have to say, have i this feeling, and i think there was one of the stories, i cant remember which one that the moment that really set donald trump on fire was when comey stead he was mildly nausea by the idea, made mildly nausea of the idea that maybe he helped elect donald trump that is the cardinal sin for donald trump who ask super sensitive about his election. and the idea that comey wouldnt have been proud about helping elect him, he couldnt take ...

Yesterday. so according to kellyanne ckocoy yesterday, the president made a considered judgment based on the conclusion of rod rosen stein. rod rosen stein sent him a memo yesterday. >> thats right. >> and he was fired yesterday. >> rosen stein, who doesnt even know. they werent even saying his name right. >> thats completely implausible. the idea that somehow he handed him the memo in the morning and jim comey was fired at 5:00 in the afternoon, thats not how human beings work. >> by the way, j...

Of the united states. he can make decisions when he wants. but if you want this to not be linked to russia, which kellyanne conway says cnn all you do is talk about russia, well, then you cant do it -- doing it now without any seeming other trigger or news that would make this happen, how can you not draw the conclusion? remember, again, jeff sessions, the attorney general, recused himself from this investigation, putting james comey in charge of the russian investigation because in his confirma...

Investigation and he then is seen as part of the process of removing the director of the fbi who was investigating russian connections, is that a proper move? they would all answer it is improper. how can jeff sessions be involved with the move to remove comey, especially now? >> well, of course, the fact that jeff sessions recuses himself from a particular investigation doesnt mean that he removes himself from complete oversight of the rest of the department. and so his involvement -- id be ver...

Unanswered questions. it could be the white house was simply incompetent in the way this was rolled out. so we need to find out what happened here. what was the real motivation? because obviously the timing has really raised some serious questions about what is really going on here. >> by their own reckoning, two weeks rosen stein has been on. this is not about assailing or assessing his credibility. two weeks hes been on. and for some reason he decides that his first official act should be a re...

By a decisive leader. but if thats true, and, you know, i think thats open to discussion, you need to provide the back story here. from what i can tell of the time line, ron rosen stein went and did this review on his own, not at the direction of jeff session, did it on his own, handed it to sessions on tuesday. sessions sent it to the president and then he was fired. it seems a little odd, given all of the underlying context here. the fact that the clinton investigation was wrapped up effective...

White house infighting have been dominating the headlines, we want to report for you on the trump administration also crafting some harsh new immigration in law enforcement policies, including what looks to be a follow-on to that discussion of a deportation force. here is reporting from "the washington post." an internal department of homeland security assessment shows the agency has already found 33,000 more detention beds to house undocumented immigrants and opened discussions with dozens of l...
