if this is the new normal no one will come forward. it s ofous what they are trying to do. they are trying to delay kavanaugh. really quick before you go, senator, what should we expect? a conversation about whether or not rosenstein was part of a koue to take him down. i wouldn t fire him unless there is real credible evidence that he did something improper. if the house flips we won t hear about that story any longer. it s good to see you. thank you for joining us. if i had done what democrats had done. if i recommended a conservative activist lawyer.
another. there s no way that this thing is just going to go away. if you were smart, he would take a step back and say, all right, you know what, does he have the right to ask him, hey, did you really say that, i mean is that really appropriate you said that? he has the right to fire him because he thinks he said it. i wouldn t fire him but i would bring him in for what we call a counseling session and say, hey, you got to knock it off, go back to work and put bad guys in jail. no, i m saying he has the right to do it. is it right to do it though. if he resigns, the president has the easy path to putting noel francisco in there, a man it is assumed would be more amenable to the president s point of view in certain things. do you go that way? no way. that s untrue. the law of unintended consequences will kill you. you fire james comey and obviously you will have an easier path to the russia investigation and you get robert mueller. you fire rosenstein, and i don t know whether s
going to go away if he were smart, he would take a step back. does he have the right to ask him? did you really say that? he has the right to fire him because he thinks he said it. i wouldn t fire him but i would call him in. hey, knock it off. now go back and put bad guys in jail. he has the right to do it. is it right to do it, that s the question. if he resigns, the president has an easy path to putting noel francisco in there. a man it is assumed would be much more amenable. do you go that route? heck no. the law of unintended consequences will kill you. you fire james comey and you re going to have an easier path than a russian investigation and you get robert mueller. fire rosenstein. i don t know whether someone who comes in temporarily will say something different. i can see them saying, my job is to keep the seat warm until we
impeached, too. joan, when trump was asked about attorney general jeff sessions he didn t say whether he would fire him, he didn t say he wouldn t fire him. he seems averse to talk about that or to admit that he is going to fire someone until he s actually firing them then saying when it s reported that this person is going to go, it s fake news then all of a sudden they fire him and it s like, okay, you never hear. it s fake news, and then he announces on twitter and the person doesn t know, like don mcgahn. i mean, that interview broke a lot of news. it s hard to know what to come at first. i honestly think the combination, don, of calling it an illegal investigation, which is a new word. he s called it a witch hunt. he s trashed it. calling it illegal, and suggesting he d hold on to jeff sessions until after the midterms, we remember the saturday night massacre. there could be a wednesday morning massacre after the midterms because i think regardless of what happens, but especia
now for decades. and it is legal for mueller to be conducting this investigation. what i thought was also noteworthy about the interview that margaret did was this idea that congress would not impeach him because he s doing such a great job. and if we go back to richard nixon, nixon was actually doing a pretty good job with much of what he set out to do. he was advancing civil rights with title 9. he created the epa. he was negotiating arms deals with the soviets. the opening with china. he actually was doing very well, but he was impeached because he committed a crime. and i think if it turns out that donald trump s perceived to have committed crimes, he may well be impeached, too. joan, when trump was asked about attorney general jeff sessions he didn t say whether he would fire him, he didn t say he wouldn t fire him. he seems averse to talk about that or to admit that he is going to fire someone until he s actually firing them then saying when it s reported that this
