this is the same rule when john ashcroft refuses himself. this was expected and it had to happen.he big important thing. if the president forces him out, you can kiss the next six months goodbye if he forces out jeff sessions. if he forces him out because of the recusal, why did you do that because he did the right thing? it would be difficult to find someone new and you can imagine with the confirmation hearing would look like. we need a nominee who is on the front pages and the president would have little or no chance to get his message through. it would be a p.r. disaster and i think jeff sessions would do the president a great favor by staying exactly where he is. and i hope the president is convinced that is not in his best interest to go out and do this. >> jon: who would want the job if he was fired or quit? jeff sessions came out very strongly in early for a guy who was a long shot. it would make you wonder. >> any nominee would have to consider that if they do the right thing by the law and rule rules, and my going to be similarly humiliated by the president of the united

in fact, we just had the missouri secretary of state, jay ashcroft, on.for you what he says that counters what you're claiming. hold on. here it is. >> we are just going to release that publicly available information that is routinely released to candidates, to news organizations, and anyone that actually makes that request. >> what are you saying, mr. frosh? they're publicly available and they release it regularly. >> some of it's publicly available and some of it is not. and in combination, it is not publicly available. and the real purpose of is voter intimidation. they want to make sure that people think twice before they vote. that's not what america is about. we want to encourage people to vote, and i think the purpose of this, besides indulging the president's fantasy, is to stop people from voting. if they have a criminal history, they've had a brush with the law, if they're recently immigrated to the united states and united states citizens. they want to make hem think twice before they exercise their constitutional franchise. >> you also hear on

joining us missouri secretary of state jay ashcroft, one of three secretaries who plan to comply with the request. why comply, sir, and thank you for joining us? >> good morning, thank you for having me. first and foremost, there's a lot of confusion about what has actually been asked for. if you read the actual request twice, they stipulate that they only want this public information that the states have, and missouri that's going to include name and where you vote and in which elections you have voted. it won't include how you voted or your social security number. it's just public information that we regularly give out to any individual that asks for it. >> but they are asking for those last four social security digits, are they now? >> actually, no, sir, they're not. if you read the letter what they say is they want public information that the states have about voters. >> so you're not going to turn over the social security numbers in full? >> no, sir. they didn't ask for it. in the letter they asked for the public information that may include and then they list several factors bec
