deal, and in the comedy central, the only jokes off limits were about his money. we know he doesn t have a billion dollars, but he won t let anybody say that or insinuate that s the case. we know he cares. john sipher, theory number three, less legally suspicious, an explanation for trump s approach to russia that maybe he just really likes putin. i respect putin. he s a strong leader, i can tell you that. i would say because putin is a nicer person than i am. putin is a killer. a lot of killers, we ve got a lot of killers. you think our country is so innocent? it would be great if we could get along with russia, just so you understand that. it s not terrible, it s good. observers note that far beyond russia, trump s obsession with personality and power led him to admire autocrats, naming adversaries like kim jong-un honorable, complimenting and praising what do you think of
about whether or not they could bepart pardoned, would compromi the information they would tell the special counsel. this is to determine whether donald trump or anyone in his campaign had anything to do with russian interference in the 2016 election. it definitely smells like obstruction of justice. there is an argument that we have heard from the white house, and the president suggested, i believe, as well, that he is the president. he can pardon whoever he wants, whenever he wants. there are some limits. there are some limits to the pardon power. one, he can only pardon someone who has been convicted of a felony, a federal crime, not a state crime. also, he can t pardon himself. i think that s one of the biggest things that, you know, he has tried to insinuate, that he has complete power. you should always be careful in a democracy when the president uses the word complete power. it is very scary.

i think his unhappiness with jeff sessions has been pronounced many times through twitter and other media over the last couple months. he gave an exclusive interview to the new york times where he said he wouldn t have hired jeff sessions if he knew this is how he would conduct business. that being said, he is the attorney general. not asked him to step down and it is within his purview. most of the time presidents don t ask, insinuate, they don t suggest in any way that the department of justice go after a former political rival. that is not something that we ve seen in our history. not making a judgment whether oats -it s right or wrong. this is unusual in the course of u.s. history. jon: ironic that jeff sessions became the first u.s. senator to endorse donald trump as a candidate. that obviously led to his position on the trump campaign as an advisor and that led to
in modern presidential history in his unwillingness to summon demons of bigotry. he began with a lie about president barack obama s citizenship and has failed to condemn bigots who rally behind him. your thoughts this morning? i think we have to go all the way back to the time when the president was thinking of running for president. he decided that what he was going to do was talk about president trump s birth certificate and the fact that he was born in hawaii and insinuate that he was, in fact, born in kenya. that was the foundation of a racist lie that spoke to something that a lot of republicans for a long time wanted to shove into a corner. donald trump at that time spoke directly to it. this is a very analogous situation. i think politicians have always known these people are out there, the david dukes, white
