. >>> we have cnn politics reporter eugene scott, kelly jane torens and danny savalos with us.anny, if a recusal is to avoid not just actual impropriety and actual conflict of interest but the appearance of those two, why hasn't rod rosenstein recused himself yet? >> that's a good question in that it certainly is doj policy, it is either actual impropriety or the appearance of a conflict or the lost of that impartiality is another factor in the code of regulations and the u.s. attorney's manual. there is also a process under doj procedure whereby you report your perceived conflict of interest and your higher ups decide -- your section chief as it is, decides whether or not there is a conflict of interest or the appearance requiring the recusal. the strange thing here is that we are at the apex. there are not a lot of section chiefs above rosenstein in the chain of command to report to and to give him the final word. it is a deliberative process. it is not done overnight. >> eugene, if rosenstein -- and we had another legal analyst, joey jackson on who said it is not a matter of

senior politics reporter eugene scott, and politics reporter selena zito.ning. >> good morning, guys. >> brian, we knew this would be coming, that there would be a "washington post" op-ed from mika brzezinski and joe scarborough. it just landed and says, "donald trump is not well." and says, "president trump launched personal attacks against us thursday. our concerns about his unmoored behavior go far behiyond the personal. america's leaders and allies are asking again pregnanter this man is fit to be president. we have our doubts, but we are both certain this man is not mentally equipped to continue watching our show, "morning joe,"" and talk about his unhealthy obsession with their program and unhealthy obsession with the media in general. >> they responded in a strong way here, trying to reorient the conversation to make it about the president and his emotional well being. i think mika and joe don't want the conversation to be whether she had a facelift, whether her face was bloody. that's offensive but they say inaccurate. they're trying to put the focu

that's what happened during the watergate scanned zblool eugene let me flip my own argument.it's only been 151 keays. >> right. >> so looking at that what about the country? what do the people get from this government so far, this presidency? what about that agenda? >> well, they're not getting a lot of it. they've gotten some of it if the president said one of his agenda items was deregulation. there's been a substantial amount of deregulation happening in agencies in washington. and i think that has an impact. you can argue whether it's a good or bad thing. but that was a campaign promise that's being acted on. but there is no -- there's been no repeal and replace of obamacare. there has been no tax reform. there have been confusing to say the least signals on foreign policy. remember president trump came in disdaining foreign entanglements and saying we were overstretched and basically america first. he is adding more troops in afghanistan. and over at the pentagon we are shooting at syrian wear planes potentially getting shot at by russian war planes in syria. so he retin
