Sessions Question News Today

Astonishing. this is an example of no good deed goes unpunished in washington. sessions did the only thing he could do. the president asking him to reconsider or, quote, unrecuse himself was highly inappropriate but at some point history will record that sessions may have been the best actor here in terms of the presidents legacy and he may have a lot in debt to him at the end of this process e. i mean, also, by the way, if mueller finds criminal conduct, then once again sessions is proven corre...

Seriously considering not seating him if he is elected next month? >> i think they are still in the election part of this mitch mcconnell laid out yesterday exactly what he is doing. he said i takd to the president i talked to john kelly, mike pence, we are all trying to physical out what to do. theyre waiting for president trump, which is why i think the sessions question is interesting, if president trump comes back, he just got back from his trip to asia and says something about what he think...

Members of the presidents conservative base are rallying to his side. so there is no incentive to go anywhere. why resign when you know the presidents base is on your side. jeff sessions feels hurt, frankly, according to people weve talked to. he feels disappointed. it doesnt mean that hes going to be throwing in the towel anytime soon. you talk about -- you might hear the noise of the chopper behind me, nicolle. it looks like its marine one landing on the south lawn to take the president away t...

Erin, molly, good to see you both. thanks so much for being here. so what about the health care bill? i mean, its a great question. president trump calls out senate republicans in another attempt to repeal and replace obamacare. >> by the way, you can also call those senators to make sure you get health care. and also coming up, were live in alabama for the summer of revival as democrats attempt to turn parts of the deep south blue. their task, their next task, excuse me, winning the seat on...

About official senate business, even though he was a campaign surrogate, no talk of the campaign. that, of course, was very critical at the time, because the russia investigation was getting going. there were questions about who within the trump orbit might have had any kind of contact so thats why this is so notable. now, of course, it is kislyak reporting back to his bosses in russia. we dont know what truthfulness there is in his comments, if he reported it accurately or if, as jeff sessions ...

This information. you know, thats one of the questions, who unmasked these names. and so, you know, this new report that we say in the "washington post," that question is, who leaked that story to the news. >> yeah, molly, you mentioned the tweet that president trump put out this morning about the so-called amazon "washington post." he said, these illegal leaks like comeys must stop. there it is. cant imagine president trumps going to be doing any amazon shopping any time soon. how frustrated do...

Administration, that the patience has been over and they must do something because the threat is growing and growing and intercontinental ballistic missile was launched. but a month ago, i think, a month and a half maybe, secretary mattis answering a question bluntly stated that the use of force against north korean regime would mean a disaster, a humanitarian disaster in the region. >> reporter: and sergey lavrov had a tough message, too, on syria, where the peace deal that was brokered by the ...

The issues and hopefully spread their word. >> yeah, tammy, just real quick, a question for you. how is this ongoing conversation and inability for congress to repeal and replace obamacare playing into this democratic primary battle there? >> reporter: sorry, jacob, its a little bit loud behind me. >> no worries. i was curious. im just wondering how the obamacare fight is playing into the democratic primary battle there. >> reporter: oh, hes asking how obamacare is factoring into the democratss ...

You think, without making it look like theres something to hide. and by the way, does he even care about that perception. >> thats actually a great question, does he care. it seems like donald trump does what donald trump wants to do when he wants to do it and he has his own purpose that a lot of people in d.c. at least up on capitol hill dont really understand until, you know, weeks later, perhaps. but the sessions question is very interesting because here he was earlier this week, basically, y...

True, its a big problem for jeff sessions. the problem is, how do you prove or find out whether its true or not? current and former intelligence officials have told me that its not unprecedented for the russian ambassador or other ambassadors to report falsely back home either for disinformation reasons or just because he was exaggerating the nature of the meeting. you know, at the same time, this poses a huge challenge to jeff sessions whos adamantly denied that he had these kind of substantive...
