the department of justice under jeff sessions was very similar to eric culver and loretta lynch. i can tell the difference. he lost the confidence of congress. he was unable to turn on the department. the department was in chaos based on the attorney general s report. it was time for a change. donald trump is the president and he did the right thing. shannon: now with matt whitaker acting as attorney, he actually does have an action that he could take with regards to mueller. issues of funding, cutting back so that it puts handcuffs on the investigation. by law, if there are new broadening scopes that change the investigation, that would have to go past them. plus, he could call for accounting on any investigative stuff that molar is taken with regards this investigation. to think it will change in her matt whitaker versus how he handled it? obviously jeff sessions didn t handle it so it is whether it will change under matt whitaker as contrasted with rod rosenstein.
president has confidence in jeff sessions. that is not a trick question. and they won t answer. i ll ask brian really without my partisan hat on but eric culver did resign. there had to be discussions about that. he stepped down after six and a half years. he was accused of contempt in congress. that was a partisan vote. well, still it was congress. i don t think it was a partisan vote. fast and furious. don t act like all right. your point, congressman? let me say this. in terms of white houses in governing, people do come and go in cabinets. and this discussion is unfortunately public, but there are public discussions that have happened with other administrations and other white houses. i think one of the questions that is going to come up today is because jeff sessions is recused, now rod rosenstein is
