>>> I m joined by ░░░░░░░░ Chris Murphy Democrat from ░░░░░░░░ and senator first I ░░░░░░░░ to ask your response ░░░░░░░░ the recusal today Is ░░░░░░░░ enough No it s ░░░░░░░░ not enough There s ░░░░░░░░ an erosion of trust ░░░░░░░░ the attorney general s ░░░░░░░░ There s no guarantee ░░░░░░░░ just because he s ░░░░░░░░ the cameras he s ░░░░░░░░ himself that those working ░░░░░░░░ him won t feel ░░░░░░░░ pressure maybe to pull ░░░░░░░░ foot off the accelerator ░░░░░░░░ it comes to investigations ░░░░░░░░ now or future investigations ░░░░░░░░ long as a close ░░░░░░░░ confidante of the president ░░░░░░░░ in charge of the ░░░░░░░░ of Justice I don ░░░░░░░░ think any of us ░░░░░░░░ have confidence that there ░░░░░░░░ going to be a ░░░░░░░░ investigation there So I ░░░░░░░░ t think this is ░░░░░░░░ I m glad he ░░░░░░░░ it I m amongst ░░░░░░░░ who thinks he needs ░░░░░░░░ step down You think ░░░░░░░░ needs to resign I ░░░░░░░░ he needs to resign ░░░░░░░░ think you do have ░░░░░░░░ have a higher standard ░░░░░░░░ the attorney general We ░░░░░░░░ try to get to ░░░░░░░░ bottom of what he ░░░░░░░░ before that committee whether ░░░░░░░░ was intentionally lying or ░░░░░░░░ it was an act ░░░░░░░░ unintentional misleading But the ░░░░░░░░ of the matter is ░░░░░░░░ attorney general it probably ░░░░░░░░ more than other cabinet ░░░░░░░░ that he s representing ░░░░░░░░ truth to the United ░░░░░░░░ Congress This is supposed ░░░░░░░░ be a little bit ░░░░░░░░ apolitical position than other ░░░░░░░░ of the cabinet because ░░░░░░░░ those law enforcement powers ░░░░░░░░ that s all been ░░░░░░░░ So I want to ░░░░░░░░ you this question about ░░░░░░░░ propriety of these meetings ░░░░░░░░ I think there s ░░░░░░░░ things to distinguish It ░░░░░░░░ out not to be ░░░░░░░░ which strikes me as ░░░░░░░░ concrete violation here It ░░░░░░░░ something I would imagine ░░░░░░░░ do art of the ░░░░░░░░ course of business Does ░░░░░░░░ strike you odd or ░░░░░░░░ There s nothing wrong ░░░░░░░░ a member of the ░░░░░░░░ meeting with the Russian ░░░░░░░░ The fact of the ░░░░░░░░ is this was the ░░░░░░░░ of a heat the ░░░░░░░░ there are allegations swirling ░░░░░░░░ about the Russians interest ░░░░░░░░ that Now is it ░░░░░░░░ that Jeff Sessions and ░░░░░░░░ Russian ambassador are sitting ░░░░░░░░ his Senate office of ░░░░░░░░ interference But the fact ░░░░░░░░ he tried to cover ░░░░░░░░ up the fact that ░░░░░░░░ didn t try to ░░░░░░░░ up the record after ░░░░░░░░ confirmation hearing the fact ░░░░░░░░ it dove stales with ░░░░░░░░ s attempt to conceal ░░░░░░░░ contact with the Russians ░░░░░░░░ there is more than ░░░░░░░░ That there s got ░░░░░░░░ be some fire down ░░░░░░░░ And there s one ░░░░░░░░ story that broke today ░░░░░░░░ is that Jared Kushner ░░░░░░░░ general Flynn met with ░░░░░░░░ in December That s ░░░░░░░░ previously undisclosed meeting and ░░░░░░░░ we keep finding this ░░░░░░░░ of it seems to ░░░░░░░░ meetings that in other ░░░░░░░░ would be Normal but ░░░░░░░░ t disclosed amidst a ░░░░░░░░ of scrutiny of them ░░░░░░░░ leaves you scratching your ░░░░░░░░ And remember this was ░░░░░░░░ a time when the ░░░░░░░░ campaign was parading people ░░░░░░░░ the front door of ░░░░░░░░ Tower for everyone to ░░░░░░░░ Clearly kislyak came through ░░░░░░░░ door that was undisclosed ░░░░░░░░ I think you have ░░░░░░░░ put this in the ░░░░░░░░ of Trump s policy ░░░░░░░░ Russia Maybe we wouldn ░░░░░░░░ worry so much about ░░░░░░░░ if Trump was coming ░░░░░░░░ hard on Russia for ░░░░░░░░ the inf treaty They ░░░░░░░░ trying to set up ░░░░░░░░ next round of tough ░░░░░░░░ but it s the ░░░░░░░░ Trump is taking a ░░░░░░░░ position on Russia than ░░░░░░░░ administration before There s ░░░░░░░░ theory of international relations ░░░░░░░░ explains the way the ░░░░░░░░ Administration is positioning themselves ░░░░░░░░ Russia and when you ░░░░░░░░ these contacts that seem ░░░░░░░░ drip drip drip out ░░░░░░░░ the day next to ░░░░░░░░ bizarre Russia policy that ░░░░░░░░ is taking on it ░░░░░░░░ starts to just rise ░░░░░░░░ level of concern Senator ░░░░░░░░ Murphy thank you for ░░░░░░░░ time
