Covered. This is an unrepublican thing for me to say. And more incoming for the white house on the president s wiretap claims. Can the president just ask the fbi director if this happened . Has he asked him. No, the president has not. As Senate Democrats press for answers from sessions. I think senator sessions should come back. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes. It ees been 24 hours since the released the bill and the reviews are out. Everyone hates trumpcare. Well, almost everyone. There were very few people involved in crafting that have anything good to say about it. But listen to the conservative republicans who view the bill in the words of senator rand paul as dead on arrival, an attempt at obamacare light. Whats been introduced in the house in the last 24 hours is not the obamacare replacement plan, not the Obamacare Repeal plan weve been hoping for. This is a step in the wrong direction. Do we need to lower the bar in what we believe as c
That the president ran on. Can trump care live up to candidate trumps promises. Everybodys got to be covered. This is an unrepublican thing for me to say. And more incoming from the white house on the president s wiretap claims. No, the president has not asked him. The Senate Presses sessions for answers. I think senator sessions should come back. Its been 24 hours and the votes are out. Everyone hates trump care. Dont take my word for it, just listen to the conservative republicans who view the bill and the words of senator rand paul as dead on arrival and an attempt at obamacare light.

But the current way forward, i dont think is going to work. Its not j

And there is ample evidence involving roger stone, paul manafort, carter page that Trump Associates may well have been involved in colluding with the russians. And, so, whats needed is accountability. The grand jury is working. The fbi is doing its job. Whats needed now is a leader and i emphasize insulated and protected from the president of the United States who may be a target here by a clear mandate, a written mandate from Ron Rosen Stein, the Deputy Attorney general, saying you do the work. Im going to protect you. Do you think it is possible that Rudy Giuliani or Chris Cristie could be the new head of the fbi . Predicting what the president of the United States will do is among the host hazardous activities in washington, d. C. These days.

Theyre trying to explain what happened. Theyre not expecting the fallout thats happened since the firing of the fbi director. I just walked by White House Press secretary sean spicers office. Its filled with aids, advisors and the white house said look, were done talking about this through the evening. That was not the reality here. Because they know they have a bad narrative on their hands with republicans on capitol hill as well. Lets take a look at this very brief letterer the president sent to the fbi director this afternoon. The second paragraph perhaps says it all. While i greatly appreciate you informing me on three separate occasions that i am not under investigation, i nevertheless concurthat youre not able to effectively lead the bureau. The white house is explaining the firing because the director had lost the confidence of the bureau. The deputy atutorney general ha made this recommendation to the president.
