unbridled rage over the russia investigation. firing the attorney general who is recused doesn't have the direct effect of removing mueller at all, does it? >> no. but he could fire jeff sessions and replace him with a new attorney general who would then not be recused from russia who could oversee the russia investigation? >> like who? i don't know who. there are a lot of people he's thinking about. but i don't know if the president has a plan "b" at this point. he has had the simmering rage that we've reported on for months now about the russia case which he views as a hoax. he views it as a witch hunt. he has made that plain. he is letting jeff sessions hang out there. there is no indication that sessions is prepared to resign or willing to resign. i think if trump doesn't want him as attorney general he wants trump to step forward and actually fire him. >> jonathan lemmere, you have a piece saying his fury has been fanned by several close confidants, including his son.
