CNN’s Brownstein: Attacks on Sessions Is a ‘Reminder’ There’s No Boundary to Trump’s ‘Willingness’ to Undermine Institutions

RUSH EXCERPT:

BROWNSTEIN: "I think it is another reminder that there is no boundary, there is no boundary to his willingness to undermine any institution, particularly a law enforcement institution, that he thinks can threaten him or his interests. And I also think, Jim, it is a reminder of what a charade we are living through with the arguments from, say, a Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, that he has full confidence in Jeff Sessions and he doesn’t want him to go anywhere. The indications could not be more clear, especially after this tweet today that the president intends to fire the attorney general after the election. Lindsey Graham basically bought him a neon sign saying that the Republicans would confirm a replacement, and they don’t want to do that before the election because they are afraid of the signal it would send to voters who worry about the lack of checks and balances. With the language he used today, no one should have any illusions about what is coming soon after the November election."
