With honor for 35 years, or to undermine the integrity of our democratic process, is an appalling and detestable lie the public showdown must one week after james comey testified before the same committee about his conversations with President Trump. Senators wanted to know if sessions had any role in comeys firing. About the firing of james comey to the question of the russian investigation, . I cannot answer that it was a communication by the president. Sessions recuse himself because of his involvement in the campaign. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is heading up that probe. Today and another hearing the number two at the Justice Department accounted attempted to shut down reports of President Trump is considering firing mueller. The President Trump ordered you to fire the special counsel, what would you do . If there are good cause i would consider it, if not it wouldnt matter what anybody says. Reporter james comeys friend the professor from columbia who helped lead the memo about the conversations with the president has been turning over material to the fbi. We have just heard from the white house about the reports that moeller might be fired. The white house pushing back saying while the president has the right to do that, he has no intention to do so. Lauren, thank you. Now to heather holmes. She joins us with more on the testimony including questions from california senators. Reporter Dianne Feinstein focus on sessions role on the firing of james comey. Comey testified last week he felt his firing was a result of his refusal to end the fbi russia investigation. Did you ever discuss director comeys fbi handling of the russia investigations with the president or anyone else . Senator feinstein, that will call for a communication between the attorney general and the president and im not able to comment on that. You were not able to answer the question here whether you ever discuss that with him . That is correct you had no verbal conversation with him . About the firing of mr. Comey . I am not able to discuss with you or confirm or deny the nature of a private conversation that i may of had with the president on this subject or others. Kamala harris person to describe the policies supported his refusal to answer since the president did not invoke executive privilege. Is a policy in writing somewhere . I think so. Did you not consulted before you came before this committee knowing we would ask you questions . We talked about it. We mac did you ask a be shown to you . The policy is based on the principle that the president die sir i am asking about you would rely on that policy. Did you not ask your staff to show you the policy that would be the basis for you refusing to answer the questions. Sessions eventually did answer. He said yes he did consult with his staff on his refusal to answer. That interruption of senator harris during her line of questioning is getting a lot of attention. Sheet treated it was a simple question. Concessions point. 2 that. You may remember harris was rebuked last week during the hearing of Deputy Attorney general rod rosenstein. Her style of questioning rubbed some the wrong way but others say to representative or renter is sexist and that the questioning would not be the same way if it was a man grilling a witness. Heather holmes that is a criticism weve heard before. Thank you very much extract white house sources tell us they were happy with the attorney generals testimony today. They called sessions impressive and praised him for pushing back against insinuations of wrongdoing. So far President Trump is not commented while on a visit to milwaukee. The president toward a Technical School and is scheduled to speak at a fundraiser for scott walker. Joining us now is political analyst brian sobel. We heard some pretty strong questioning by both california senators. The attorney general basically blew them off the wouldnt answer those questions. Are those legitimate questions . Is he ducking and weaving and hiding behind some policy the Kamala Harris couldnt get him to articulate . All of that. I think she prosecuted him pretty well. He bobbed and weaved like somebody who has been under the lights before. He is asserting his rights not to discuss private conversations that he has had with the president and citing it as a policy which he could not finger necessarily. A longstanding policy not to do that. By the way, it is the same thing that has been invoked and other administrations by other people testifying before congress. Including democrats. He said any suggestion he was involved in or was aware of collusion with the russians was appalling and detestable. Your thoughts on that very strong language. I suspect this in a nerve with him as to whether he would ever betray his country, our country by working with the russians to undermine an election. He takes obviously great exception to that. It seemed like a lot of the questioning was meant to pin him down to specific answers on certain topics and then maybe compare his answers with other people in the administration and find out if there are discrepancies. With this coordinated . Definitely. They come in, the staffs compare questions and they talk. They are trying to set a scene that they will use later potentially if there are conflicts and what he has said. Almost nothing that happens has not been shared and talked about among staff people and all of those folks sitting behind these people. The democrats have their line of questions. The democrats have their questions and the republicans want to talk about voter fraud in the russian impact on the election. The democrats want to talk about collusion in trumps role in it in the Trump Administration. While they are connected, they are not connected. Out of three or four hours of testimony from questions from republicans and democrats, did we learn anything significant today . Not really. I think it was a good sparring match. Everybody got a good blow or two in, but you didnt learn a whole lot today because sessions did a good job of bobbing and weaving or answering questions. Sufficiently so there wasnt a followup that could talk him. As this hearing and they continue so disease fbi. Absolutely a lot going on in washington dc. Stay with us for continuing coverage.
