no, babe, the nfl made business decisions to deny a skilled athlete fairness in favor of buying the blackness of a billionaire. obviously, becky, skin color matters, as society has shown us again and again and again. now, if kaepernick made a business decision, safoya is most certainly making a political one, saying nonsensical things of a right wing kendall quails who rejects the idea that america is racist. michelle, trade in your sideline gig for a front line opportunity to join the ranks of the few republican women that the wealthy white men let sit at their table but advice for the sideline swindler, your enemies will come after you the second you misbehave. just ask liz cheney. i m not saying i spoke to jemele hill about these trivial tafoya takes, but he might have been said hundreds of equally if not more qualified journalists of color never got the opportunity to stand on the sidelines and
this is cnn breaking news. breaking news, just into cnn, attorney general jeff sessions is not, for now, apointing a second special counsel to investigate complaints by republicans that the justice department may have exhibited bias in its 2016 investigations into presidential candidates, hillary clinton and donald trump. sessions did name, however, an investigator he says has been looking into allegations. cnn laura jared has more. lau laura, explain the decision here and what session s plan going forward? jim, likely the day that john huber becomes a household name, a veteran federal prosecutor in utah serving under president trump and president obama and likely thrust into the mix of a nasty partisan fight with democrats saying all allegations of fbi and doj misconduct is
those issues, you can see with how he conducted himself as attorney general when it comes to hard questions, that he is a man of integrity who does care about the rules of law. isn t that what you want from your attorney general? respect for the law? yeah. is that a crazy statement? that s not what donald trump wants, but somebody that s going to do what he wants him to do. of course, we ve seen turmoil in the cabinet, and so here s a question, does jeff sessions have a long tenure ahead of him as attorney general and, did he think about that when he was making this big decision? watch for the presidential tweet in reaction to this decision. thanks very much to the panel on a number of issues. we ll be right back with much more on this breaking news. whoooo.

about what the president did. oh, that s a judgment for people at home to make. that s my opinion. i m on for my opinions. that s my opinion. no, fair enough, that s why we have you on. just on that issue, are you saying that this idea that stormy was about to do a public interview with abc news days before the presidential election was something her that michael cohen did not know about? michael was approached by the other tern, and the other attorney communicated that she was going to do an interview or he could pay the $130,000. michael cohen made an executive decision, made a business decision, and they paid the $130,000. now, that may seem abnormal to some people, but if you re in business probably to most people. i don t know. $130,000 to cover an affair. if you want to avoid
