Wallace on Trump’s ‘Disgraceful Tweet’: Can’t Recall Another Pres. Slamming His Own AG

‘He was the first senator to come out for Donald Trump back in early 2016’

RUSH EXCERPT: 
PERINO: "For more on this let’s bring in Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace. I want to read a tweet from Jerry fallwell. He said, I couldn’t agree more. Jeff Sessions must be part of the bush/mccain Republican establishment. He probably supported Donald Trump early in the campaign to hide who he really is or he could just be a coward. Hits against Jeff Sessions just keep on coming, Chris.
WALLACE: "Yeah. Look, the idea a president would send out a tweet saying his own attorney general’s decision making was, quote, disgraceful, I don’t know they ever remember that in my life in Washington. I suspect you can’t either. To suggest that Jeff Sessions wasn’t a trump supporter, he came out, he was the first senator to come out for Donald Trump back in early 2016 when I don’t think there was another single person in the Senate who did and very precious few in the house. He carried a lot of water and helped give a veneer of respectability to Donald Trump when a lot of people weren’t taking him seriously and he was one of the first people that President Trump appointed. Now, look. I guess like with any appointee, you can argue what he did. But the idea that somehow sending this to the inspector general Michael Horowitz who is a straight shooter and a tough guy. It’s hardly putting this in the trash can."
PERINO: " It’s unfair to me that if it wasn’t Michael Horowitz who was investigating, who then would be the appropriate entity to do that and what would pass muster with the president.
WALLACE: "Some people suggested that the attorney general should appoint another special council to do it or perhaps, and I think in his tweet the president specifically referred to career political people inside the Justice Department. But, boy, that gets complicated because now you’re investigating, this is a problem you always have when you’re investigating your ‘administration, which is one of the reasons lot of people think handing this to the inspector general seems like the appropriate move."
