Chris Hayes: Impeachable Offense for Trump to Order Sessions to Open an Investigation into His Enemies

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
HAYES: "We have more breaking news in the Mueller investigation. Certainly does seem like things are fast and furious in the moment. According to the post, the special counsel Robert Mueller is examining the president’s an apparent efforts to oust attorney general Jeff Sessions last summer. People familiar with the matter telling “The post” a key area of inquiry were whether those were a pattern of obstructing justice. Republican Mickey Edwards, former U.S. Congressman from Oklahoma and Democrat Barbara boxer. I want to just set up for you guys the president’s tweet today at Jeff Sessions which he’s done a bunch of this. He can’t help but feel this is in the context of the Mueller investigation. This is about sessions opening an ig investigation into FISA use. He says why is ag Jeff Sessions asking the inspector general to investigate potentially massive FISA abuse? Also take forever. Already late with reports on Comey, et cetera. Why not use use justice appointed lawyers. Disgraceful. Mickey, this seems like the president ordering his AG to open a political investigation of his political enemies which seems a plausibly impeachable offense.
