Jeff Sessions Is Facing Trump's Wrath

>>DONALD TRUMP'S ONGOING CAMPAIGN TO DESTROY ANYONE WHO
SHOWS HIM THE LEAST BIT OF LOYALTY CONTINUES WITH JEFF
SESSIONS, ONE OF HIS EARLIEST AND STRONGEST DEFENDERS AND
SUPPORTERS, NOW SERVES AS HIS ATTORNEY GENERAL.
APPARENTLY IN
THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS HE HAS REPEATEDLY PISSED TRUMP OFF --
>>IF YOU MISSED THIS ORIGINALLY, A COUPLE OF MONTHS
AGO AFTER A LOT OF PRESSURE ESPECIALLY FROM THE SENATE, JEFF
SESSIONS VOLUNTARILY SAID I'M NOT GOING TO BE INVOLVED IN
ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH THE INVESTIGATION.
IT DOESN'T APPEAR
THAT THAT IS TRUE, HE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE
DECISION TO FIRE COMEY IN THE FIRST PLACE, BUT THEORETICALLY
HE WAS NOT GETTING INVOLVED.
NOW --
>>ALTHOUGH REMEMBER, ROBERT MUELLER HASN'T BEEN ON THE JOB
FOR THREE YEARS -- HE CAME ABOUT SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF THE
SUSPICIOUS WAY THEY FIRED COMEY.
AND TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE SESSIONS
TO BLAME FOR THAT, HE HAS TRUMP TO BLAME FOR THAT.
HE ALWAYS HAS
A SCAPEGOAT FOR THE COMPLICATIONS HE INTRODUCES IN
HIS OWN LIFE.
THERE WOULD BE NO SPECIAL COUNSEL IF HE HADN'T
ACTED IN SUCH AN OBSESSION.
I WOULD SAY AN AUTHORITARIAN
FASHION, ATTEMPTING TO SHUT DOWN INVESTIGATIONS.
WHAT DID THIS
CULMINATE IN?
APPARENTLY --
>>OBVIOUSLY THAT WASN'T ACCEPTED, BUT HE DID OFFER TO
LEAVE THE ADMINISTRATION, OPENING THE PATH FOR A NEW
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATE OF JEFF SESSIONS,
WHO AS I ALLUDED TO BEFORE THE BREAK, ONE OF THE MOST HATED
PEOPLE IN THE ADMINISTRATION?
REPORTERS ASKED SEAN SPICER
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT'S CONFIDENCE IN SESSIONS AND THIS IS
WHAT HAPPENED.
>>WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE PRESIDENT'S LEVEL OF
CONFIDENCE IN THE ATTORNEY GENERAL?
>>I HAVEN'T HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT.
>>LAST TIME YOU SAID THAT THERE WAS A DEVELOPMENT.
>>I'M
ANSWERING A QUESTION, I HAVE NOT HAD THAT DISCUSSION WITH HIM.
>>DOES HE HAVE CONFIDENCE IN HIS ATTORNEY GENERAL?
>>I SAID I HAVEN'T HAD A DISCUSSION WITH HIM ON THE
QUESTION, IF I HAVEN'T HAD A DISCUSSION WITH HIM I TEND
NOT TO SPEAK ABOUT IT.
>>IF THAT SMIRK ON SPICER'S FACE DIDN'T TELL THAT STORY, THE IDEA
THAT YOU HAVE TO CHECK IN EVERY DAY TO SEE IF HE STILL SUPPORTS
ONE OF HIS EMPLOYEES WOULD BE ODD. AND AS THE REPORTER POINTED
OUT, THIS IS ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THEY ASKED A
QUESTION ABOUT JAMES COMEY NOT THAT LONG AGO, LET'S WATCH THAT.
>>DOES THE PRESIDENT STILL HAVE CONFIDENCE IN FBI DIRECTOR JAMES
COMEY?
>>I HAVEN'T ASKED HIM, SO I DON'T -- I HAVE NOT ASKED
THE PRESIDENT SINCE THE LAST TIME WE SPOKE ABOUT THIS.
>>THE SAME LITTLE SMILE -- I CAN'T SAY IF I DIDN'T TALK TO
HIM.
OH, HE IS FIRED?
INTERESTING.
SESSIONS MIGHT NEED
TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER JOB, WE'LL SEE.
>>IT'S GOOD TO SEE TWO WHAT'S A PREMISES IT'S NOT GETTING ALONG.
>>THAT HAS BEEN A TREND WITH WHITE NATIONALISTS THIS YEAR,
WHERE THEY WILL EVEN TRY TO HOST EVENTS TOGETHER AND IN A FIGHT
AMONGST ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE THEY ARE CLOWNS.
WE HAVE A CLOWN CAR
IN THE WHITE HOUSE, AND THIS TYPE OF CONFLICT IS SUPER
OBVIOUS, SUPER TRANSPARENT -- TO BE HONEST WITH YOU BEFORE THIS
STORY I DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WAS SOME CONFLICT BETWEEN TRUMP AND
SESSIONS, BUT TRUMP CAN TURN ON YOU AT ANY MINUTE, EVEN GIVEN
THE FACT THAT HE PRETENDS LIKE HE CARE SO MUCH ABOUT LOYALTY.
HE CARES ABOUT LOYALTY TOWARD HIM, HE'S NOT REALLY LOYAL TO
ANYONE ELSE AROUND HIM.
IF HE SEES ANYTHING YOU DO IS EVEN A
SLIGHT MISSTEP, HE'LL BE AGAINST YOU. AND BY THE WAY, CAN WE JUST
QUICKLY MENTION HOW INCREDIBLY BAD SEAN SPICER IS AT HIS JOB?
IT'S A DIFFICULT JOB, BUT HE'S SO COMBATIVE AND IT'S SO OBVIOUS
THAT EITHER HE'S LYING OR HE'S TRYING TO COVER UP FOR THE
PRESIDENT, AND I KNOW THAT'S THE JOB OF THE PRESS SECRETARY,
LET'S KEEP IT REAL -- BUT HE'S JUST SO BAD AT HIS JOB.
>>HE IS STRESSED THE FUCK OUT.
>>I WOULD BE DONE, I WOULDN'T BE THERE.
>>HE IS LIKE, DON'T SAY ANYTHING MELISSA MCCARTHY WILL
USE.
>>HE'S GETTING IT FROM EVERYWHERE.
I DON'T FEEL BAD FOR HIM.
>>I DON'T EITHER, NO ONE IS FORCING HIM TO DO THAT JOB,
CLEARLY HE'S STILL THERE BECAUSE TO SOME EXTENT HE WANTS TO BE,
BUT I FEEL LIKE IF I WERE IN HIS POSITION I WOULD MAKE LIKE THAT
LOCAL NEWS REPORTER WHO WAS PRO-MARIJUANA AND BE LIKE, I
QUIT THIS BITCH.
>>HE SHOULD WRITE A MEMOIR.
>>MAYBE HE IS STICKING AROUND LONG ENOUGH FOR THAT.
ONE OF THE
SADDEST THINGS I'VE READ IN THE PAST MONTH, SPICER GOES ON THAT
TRIP ABROAD, AND SPICER TOLD TRUMP THE ONLY THING HE WANTS IS
TO MEET THE POPE.
TRUMP GOES IN TO MEET THE POPE AND HE'S LIKE,
I WILL BRING THE WIFE, BRING THE KIDS, SPICY, STAY OUT THERE.
HE
DOESN'T LET HIM IN.
AS YOU SAY, IT IS THEIR JOB TO LIE, DOESN'T
MATTER IF IT'S FOR OBAMA OR GEORGE W., BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE
HARDER TO DEFEND.
AND SOME PEOPLE DON'T NECESSARILY
IMMEDIATELY UNDERCUT YOUR DEFENSE AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.
BUT TO GO BACK TO SESSIONS, THEY HAVE THIS FIELD, HE ALREADY SAID
HE WOULD BE WILLING TO LEAVE -- NOW IT IS PUBLIC THAT THEY'VE
BEEN FEUDING.
AND THIS IS ONE OF THE SOURCES THAT IS AN ALLY OF
JEFF SESSIONS IN THE ADMINISTRATIONS, HE SAYS --
>>I DON'T KNOW, REINCE PRIEBUS ISN'T THAT POPULAR, MAYBE HE
WOULD.
BUT IT IS A DIFFICULT THING TO SAY WOULD BE GOOD FOR
HIM TO BE FORCED OUT?
BECAUSE SESSIONS HAS A DISGUSTING PAST,
HE IS OLD-SCHOOL AMERICAN RACISM.
HIS VIEW OF RACIAL
ISSUES, AND ALSO WHAT HE WANTS TO DO IN TERMS OF THE DRUG WAR,
SUPER PROBLEMATIC.
I DON'T HAVE ANY FAITH IN HIM AS ATTORNEY
GENERAL.
IN TERMS OF THIS INVESTIGATION, THOUGH, IF THAT
IS ONE OF YOUR PRIORITIES, AT LEAST HE HAS A SENSIBLY RECUSED
HIMSELF, WHICH WOULD NOT BE THE CASE OF WHOEVER REPLACED HIM.
AND THAT PERSON WOULD BE THE PERSON THAT ROBERT MUELLER WOULD
HAVE TO ANSWER TO, THAT COULD BE A PROBLEM.
>>SOMETIMES WHEN SOMEONE IS IN
TROUBLE IT'S LIKE, HE DID IT
FIRST.
THE FIRING OF COMEY, HE MIGHT GET IN TROUBLE, NOW WITH
JEFF SESSIONS RECUSING HIMSELF WHEN HE DIDN'T WANT TO, IT IS
YOUR FAULT THIS IS HAPPENING.
AS A CHILD THIS GUY WAS NEVER TOLD
YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT YOU DO
AND THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU DO THEM AND AVOID YOUR PROBLEM.
>>THINK ABOUT THINGS BEFORE YOU DO THEM.
THAT'S ONE OF HIS
FLAWS, HE DOESN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO THINK ABOUT THE
RAMIFICATIONS OF HIS ACTIONS BEFORE HE TAKES THEM.
FIRING
COMEY, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S NOT GREAT FOR OPTICS, BUT HE DOESN'T
THINK ABOUT IT.
HE DOESN'T THINK ABOUT WHAT THE RAMIFICATIONS ARE
OF HIS TWEETS WHEN HE'S RANTING AND RAVING ABOUT CRAZINESS.
HE'S
JUST NOT MUCH OF A CRITICAL THINKER, AND I THINK IT IS
EVIDENT IN THE WAY HE HAS HANDLED THIS ENTIRE RUSSIA
SITUATION, I THINK IT IS EVIDENT IN HOW HE HAS HANDLED PRETTY
MUCH EVERYTHING AND GETTING HEALTHCARE.
WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN
IT WAS SO COMPLICATED?
EXCEPT IF YOU WERE EVEN A LITTLE INTELLECTUALLY CURIOUS YOU
WOULD HAVE KNOWN.
BUT YOU AREN'T, YOU ARE A CLOWN.
