RUSH EXCERPT BLITZER As ░░░░░░░░ know many Republican leaders ░░░░░░░░ the majority leader Mitch ░░░░░░░░ they actually want the ░░░░░░░░ general Jeff Sessions to ░░░░░░░░ as a write in ░░░░░░░░ and win back his ░░░░░░░░ seat He spent 20 ░░░░░░░░ as the U S ░░░░░░░░ from Alabama That might ░░░░░░░░ attractive option to President ░░░░░░░░ as you know who ░░░░░░░░ t all that happy ░░░░░░░░ Jeff Sessions recusing himself ░░░░░░░░ the overall Russia probe ░░░░░░░░ led to the appointment ░░░░░░░░ the special counsel Robert ░░░░░░░░ With a new attorney ░░░░░░░░ do you worry that ░░░░░░░░ president would feel emboldened ░░░░░░░░ go ahead and try ░░░░░░░░ shut down the investigation ░░░░░░░░ Well the president is ░░░░░░░░ bound by the law ░░░░░░░░ says you cannot fire ░░░░░░░░ special counsel such as ░░░░░░░░ Mueller without cause and ░░░░░░░░ is no reasonable cause ░░░░░░░░ to fire him So ░░░░░░░░ there would be a ░░░░░░░░ crisis in my mind ░░░░░░░░ he tried to take ░░░░░░░░ to fire Mueller No ░░░░░░░░ general would have the ░░░░░░░░ to do that even ░░░░░░░░ that attorney general wasn ░░░░░░░░ Jeff Sessions Think it ░░░░░░░░ very unlikely there is ░░░░░░░░ circumstance in which Jeff ░░░░░░░░ ends up in his ░░░░░░░░ Senate seat but that ░░░░░░░░ t change what the ░░░░░░░░ says in the ways ░░░░░░░░ which you can fire ░░░░░░░░ special counsel.”
