Jim Vandehei: Trump Sees Recusal as a Sign of Weakness

‘He’s been frustrated with Sessions for some time’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "Obviously Donald Trump doesn’t understand the concept of conflicts of interest -- I guess his entire life is testimony to that. But he doesn’t understand what is so basic to everybody else that’s been in the law or been in government before, that if you have a conflict, if your integrity may be called into question in an investigation, there’s only one thing to do, recuse yourself. And yet, Donald Trump sees that act of character as a disqualification."
VANDEHEI: "He sees it as weakness. It's the worst kept secret inside the White House. He’s been frustrated with Sessions for some time. He thought he was weak."
