Bill Kristol: ‘It Would Be Politically Suicidal for Trump to Fire Sessions’

‘Lindsey Graham, in a very unfortunate way in my opinion, has decided to carry water for Trump’

EXCERPT:

KRISTOL: “I mean, I still think it would be politically suicidal for Trump to fire Sessions, unless Rosenstein is attorney general, which doesn’t do Trump any good. They have policies on this. Incidentally, Lindsey Graham’s attacks, they began shortly after he played golf with Donald Trump. This is not Lindsey Graham changing his mind about Jeff Sessions. Lindsey Graham has decided to carry water for Trump, for whatever reason. He wouldn’t mind been in the Trump cabinet. This is part of the Trump assault on Sessions. I don't think people should kid yourself a lot of Republican senators decided that suddenly their former colleague, Jeff Sessions shouldn’t be there. McConnell knows what is going on and McConnell thinks it would be disastrous for Trump to fire sessions. That’s why he stepped up.”
