LAWMAKERS IN THE SENATE HAVE ESSENTIALLY DONE SOMETHING TO
PREVENT DONALD TRUMP FROM MAKING APPOINTMENTS DURING THEIR
RECESS.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE --
I THINK THAT THIS PROCESS KIND OF BEGAN WHEN SENATORS
REALIZED THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THAT TRUMP COULD
HAVE FIRED JEFF SESSIONS AND THEN FOUND A WAY TO GET RID OF
ROBERT MUELLER, BUT NOW IT MIGHT BE FOR COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
REASONS --
BUT THINGS ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT NOW -- CHUCK SCHUMER
RELEASED A STATEMENT AND SAID --
AND THEY DID --
SO
THERE IS AN OPEN POSITION, AND THE SENATE WANTS TO MAKE
SURE TRUMP DOESN'T MAKE ANY APPOINTMENTS THEY ARE ON BREAK.
I WOULD HAVE PLAYED IT DIFFERENTLY, TO BE HONEST.
I
WOULD HAVE LET TRUMP FIRE JEFF SESSIONS.
ONE, SESSIONS IS A
HORRIBLE HUMAN BEING, I WOULD LOVE HIM OUT OF THERE.
TWO, I
THINK TRUMP DAMAGES HIMSELF IF HE DOES THAT, AND I THINK THAT
ACCELERATES HIS OUSTER.
SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THE DEMOCRATS
PLAYED THIS RIGHT.
AND GIVEN THEIR PAST TRACK RECORD,
WHATEVER IT IS THAT THEY DO, THEY SEEM TO BE DOING THE WRONG
THING.
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF THIS BACKFIRES ON THEM.
BUT
WHAT IS INTERESTING TO ME IS HOW MUCH THE SENATORS CIRCLE THE
WAGONS AND PROTECT THEIR OWN, BECAUSE LINDSEY GRAHAM NEARLY
LOST HIS PEARLS WHEN THERE WAS ANY KIND OF THREAT AGAINST
SESSIONS.
HE WAS LIKE, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FIRE JEFF SESSIONS,
HE WENT ON A RAVING DEFENSE OF HIM.
IT'S LIKE A LITTLE CLUB
THEY HAVE, AND ONCE YOU ARE IN THE CLUB THEY PROTECT ONE
ANOTHER.
IT'S LIKE JOHN MCCAIN GETTING A STANDING OVATION AND
APPLAUSE WHEN HE LEFT HIS DEATHBED TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF
CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION FOR TRUMPCARE.
IT'S INTERESTING TO
ME HOW MUCH THE SENATE IS AN INSULAR BODY OUT TO PROTECT
ITS OWN.
THIS KIND OF THING THEY ARE DOING TO TRUMP NOW WAS PIONEERED
BY THE DEMOCRATS DURING THE GEORGE W. BUSH ERA, AND BARACK
OBAMA, THEY DID IT TO HIM TOO WHEN HE WAS TRYING TO APPOINT
THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD -- THEY DID A PRO FORMA
SESSION SO THEY WERE NEVER IN RECESS TECHNICALLY, AND HE
DIDN'T RECOGNIZE IT, AND OBAMA, AND ONE OF HIS RARE STRONG
MOMENTS, WENT AND APPOINTED THE GUY ANYWAY.
THE SUPREME COURT
OVERTURNED IT AND SAID OBAMA COULDN'T DO THAT.
SO THEY HAVE
BEEN DOING THIS SINCE GEORGE W. BUSH.
A RECESS APPOINTMENT GOES
BACK TO WHEN IT TOOK THE SENATORS A LONG TIME TO TRAVEL
BACK TO THEIR DISTRICTS, NOW IT'S A PLANE RIDE AWAY.
THIS IS
A STUPID THING THAT THEY EVEN HAVE A RECESS APPOINTMENT
ANYWAY, ANYMORE.
THEY SHOULD GET RID OF IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHY DEMOCRATS ARE FIGHTING SO HARD TO MAINTAIN
JEFF SESSIONS.
I GET IT, THEY DON'T WANT MUELLER TO BE FIRED,
BECAUSE THEY LIKE MUELLER.
BUT WOW, LETTING HIM FIRE SESSIONS I THINK MIGHT BE A
GOOD THING.
I DON'T THINK THIS IS JUST A DEMOCRATIC EFFORT, I DON'T THINK
IT'S JUST DEMOCRATS IN THE SENATE THAT ARE PUSHING FOR
THIS.
I THINK THERE ARE MEMBERS -- I THINK THERE ARE GOP MEMBERS
IN THE SENATE THAT SEE SOME OF HIS BEHAVIOR AS PROBLEMATIC.
I AGREE WITH YOU.
I THINK THERE ARE REPUBLICAN SENATORS AND MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
WHO SEE TRUMP AS PROBLEMATIC, AND MAYBE THEY AREN'T AS
TRANSPARENT ABOUT THE WAY THEY FEEL BUT I THINK IT'S BECOMING
MORE OBVIOUS THAT THEY SEE HIM AS A THREAT NOT ONLY TO THE
COUNTRY BUT I THINK THEY ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR OWN
PARTY.
I TOTALLY AGREE, I THINK IT'S INTERESTING THAT THE REPUBLICAN
SENATORS ARE PREVENTING THEIR PARTY LEADER FROM MAKING THESE
RECESS APPOINTMENS.
THE QUESTION TO ME IS, ARE THEY DOING IT
BECAUSE THEY WANT MUELLER IN PLACE AND THEY WANT TO SEE A
REAL INVESTIGATION?
OR IS IT BECAUSE THEY ARE LOOKING OUT FOR
THEIR OWN IN JEFF SESSIONS?
MAYBE IT'S A LITTLE OF BOTH.
BUT
I AGREE WITH YOU, ANA, A LOT OF REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS AREN'T
HAPPY WITH TRUMP AND THEY WOULD RATHER HE NOT BE THERE, BUT THEY
ARE TOO COWARDLY TO DO ANYTHING AGAINST HIM UNTIL IT'S
POLITICALLY EXPEDIENT.
SO THEY WILL WAIT A LITTLE BIT UNTIL
TRUMP MAKES HIMSELF MORE OF A NUISANCE, AND WE WILL SEE WHAT
SHAKES OUT IN 2018.
IF THEY LOSE SOME SEATS THAT HE IS GONE, THEY
WILL TURN ON HIM.
IF THEY DO FINE AND MAINTAIN A LOT OF
SEATS, HE MIGHT JUST COAST THROUGHOUT THE FIRST TERM.
AND
THE REALITY IS IT FOR YEARS IF THE ECONOMY IS DOING REALLY
WELL, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE OUST HIM.
ESPECIALLY WITH THE
DEMOCRATS, THE WAY THEY RUN CAMPAIGNS.
