Blumenthal and congresswoman Maxine Waters. And how we ended up in the crisis with democracy. Thats enough, put down the mic. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes. We have now entered a dramatic new chapter in the story of the presidency of donald trump. Two absolutely huge developments tonight, first, there will soon finally be a check on the power of this preponderate, a decisive electoral victory, a party reclaiming real power after two years in the political wilderness. Then today the president immediately moving the nation towards constitutional crisis by firing his attorney general in what appears to be the first step in an effort to kill or throttle the Mueller Investigation into him and his associates.

Now, the normal line of succession would be for the number two at the Justice Department, the Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein, who is protecting the Mueller Probe, to now serve as interim ag. That is not what happened. Instead, in a potentially illegal move, its not quite clear, the president tapped a man he has long regarded as his eyes and ears inside a department he considers an enemy institution. That man is former u. S. Attorney Matt Whitaker, a failed gop politica

Am i supposed to dislike him . I like him very much. President trump there with his take on americas values, saudi arabias values and what he values. The apparent murder of a Washington Post journalist by agents at the saudi kingdom is bringing into focus the president s troubling financial entanglements and perhaps even his indifference to human rights or even humanity.
