choosing to investigate fisa abuse allegations by the abundant minutes ration against the trump campaign. this is what the president treated. why is age each of sessions that asking the inspector general will take forever, so prosecutorial power in his late with comey, et cetera. isn't the ig and obama guy? why not use justice department lawyers? disgraceful. just sessions responding to that we say we haven't initiated the appropriate process that will ensure complaints against the department will be fully and fairly acted upon if necessary. as long as i'm attorney general will continue to discharge my duties with integrity and honor in this department will continue to do its work in a fair and impartial manner according to the law and constitution. now that we got that out of the way, we much discussed conservative commentator and

constitutional law professor, former george w. bush policy advisor and the cpa law and policy managing partner michael lauren and former prosecutor kenneth delta akio. good morning to all three of you. we will start with you, jenna. ladies first. >> he definitely has a point that in any sort of high profile investigation you never want to have an appearance despite the fact that ig horowitz was an obama appointee, that can cast the investigation is a negative light. he does have a point that sessions would probably be better off appointed special counsel or someone that is very independent just to make sure the american people have faith in the investigation because the law is concerned about legitimacy and public trust. if we don't have that in this investigation regardless of the

outcome, that's a problem for the investigation. >> isn't that the purpose of the inspector general? even brit hume tweeted this. this is trunk that is worse. he's asking as the doj investigator himself who has lawyers and investigators at least enjoys the measure of independence from the department. turns still wants them to act as political goalie. >> break is right there, lauren. the inspector general by lies one whose object did an transparent. the job he has is to investigate allegations of abuse and misconduct in the doj and fbi. what that means as his staff do not work with the prosecutors and the agents at the fbi and doj. they don't have relationships to protect her friendships with the agencies that they would be investigating and so they have greater object to the deed, furthermore greater transparency because they report to congress.

public knowledge plus the ability to take action politically thereafter. sessions is right to stay above the fray of politics and avoid the whims of the president and follow the law. lauren: the key. reports that president trump just doesn't like jeff sessions and it goes out of his way to berate him. the "washington post" is reporting that a call to mr. mchugh, basically saying he is elderly and just not capable. what do you make of that? >> i don't know about the mr. mchugh park, but i don't agree with my colleague over there. the inspector general is part of the entire political process. these people are all tied in together, all friends of each other, i'll know each other. more so the inspector general has so prosecutorial authority whatsoever. the inspector general however price job description has the authority to investigate.

so let him inspect and determine if there's any criminal law or civil law violations. but that not enough. we need a special prosecutor in this case. the reason we need to prosecutors because the prosecutor can openly prosecute. here's a novel idea. the three of them in place. they are in internal affairs in this place. if there's ever a constitutional crisis and i hate to float on transfer of this phrase if there's ever one, there's one now because american citizens are being illegally surveilled in a court that ordinarily would have no scrutiny whatsoever. let's put a special prosecutor on this and find out if the fbi and department of justice have been issuing all of these warrants. lauren: want to get to this last part because we'll never couple seconds left. there's a photo of a dinner last night between jeff sessions and
