that is he should reverse in recusing himself and putting him back in charge of the investigation. the time reports that robert mueller is investigating on all of it. i am joined by jonathan lamir, white house reporter for the associated press, we welcome to our broadcast, nelson cunningham, a former prosecutors worked alongside james comey and among other greats and the general counsel under president obama. jonathan, i would like to begin with you and more elegant about this. tell me what else rudy said to you? good to see you. i spoke to the mayor of new york city earlier today, he did say and it is clear from his conversation of how much president trump anger remains more than a year that jeff sessions recused himself. he was consulting a number of
the senate, an ethics investigation, everything. he s not going to leave this race. do republicans back off now? look at those numbers, let s just let this go. see if roy moore wins. if he wins, maybe we expel him, maybe we let him stay. either way, it s a republican seat. do they back off of these numbers publicly or keep fighting him knowing if they were to get some kind of write-in candidate in or fight him that aggressively, it might cost him this seat and hand it to doug jones. these are nrms that give a real dilemma to a republican party. it s close enough that moore is going nowhere and raises the question dfor republicans, how much does it matter to keep this seat republicans at all costs? and a couple of questions for national democrats, as well. steve kornacki, thanks for the status on the race. and let s introduce the rest of our panel. jonathan lamir is with us. and in washington, an associated press graduate, vivian slama,
