When that fails, he fires the fbi director saying he wanted to rid himself of the russian thing. He then shared with the Russian Ambassador his relief having gotten rid of the fbi director. Thats a lot of obstructing, not to be obstruction. Thats hardball for now. All in with chris hayes starts right now. Tonight on all in what is the nature of what you saw in i saw interaction that raised questions. The russia plot thickens.

Im joined by Ashley Parker and katy feng. So, ashley we know the president is an avid consumer of the news, with these allegations of stormys case im imagining what might be going through his mind. Talk to us about whats likely going on behind the scenes right now at the white house . Whats going on bond the scenes with hi inner circle, cabinet and senior staff, the president feels sort of emboldened and unleashed and years of a yearn to his presidency for confident in making his gut decisions as we was. Last night hes decided to ultimately oust h. R. Mcmaster although the timing is an open question because he wants to have a strong replacement ready. There was a hope in the white house that mcmaster could leave in a way that was not deeply humiliating and had a soft landing. Everyone whose work there and left because t
But many in these communities, weve been speaking to them these last few days, theyre skeptical. Theyre questioning if he can pull it off given past rhetoric towards immigrants, divisive rhetoric. Theyre concerned he will add to those divisions, not heal them. Democratic president ial candidate joe biden will make his strongest comments yet on President Trump and White Nationalism. A line from bidens planned speech in iowa today goes like this. Were living through a rare moment in this nations history where our president isnt up to that moment, where our president lacks the moral authority to lead or our president has more in common with George Wallace than george washington.
