jeff sessions in the east room press conference saying we ll find out more about it later. then there were these two tweets. he talks so much about the toll that working in an administration, the administration, takes on people who take those jobs. what are you hearing? what is your sense to the degree that people are willing to enter into this as they see how all of this plays out? what s interesting is the search for a permanent attorney general is not going swimmingly. there are candidates who have been approached who are not interested in the job. you hear senator lindsey graham, for example, saying, no, no, i m going to stay in the senate. look at how the president spent so much time to try to find a lawyer to help him on the russia probe and settled for rudy giuliani because a lot of white shoe lawyers in the big firms in washington were not interested in working for this president. he s a very difficult person to work for. and the people who do take the job do the so out of a
