, washington bureau chief for "usa today" susan page and correspondent for bloomberg news margaret taleb. so jeff sessions punched back in a big way. where does this go? >> look to the hill because that's where we're getting as much direction as anybody has. what you've seen over the last 24 hours is a couple of key republican senators like lindsey graham and chuck grassley appearing to give the president permission to get rid of his attorney general but there's another way to look at it which is that they seem to be trying to say any action off until after the midterm elections and the confirmation of judge kavanaugh to the supreme court and the question is are they telling the president he should get rid of jeff sessions or hoping they can slow walk this until things calm down but if you're bob mueller you see november as a day on the calendar that to get your job done before just in case. >> so susan in his punchback yesterday yegs listjeff session the litany of things he had been leading that were on point with what the president wanted, from enforcing immigration laws, focusing on m

and senior white house correspondent for bloomberg, margaret taleb, a plus plus. he said in the soundbite that he pled to two things which aren't even crimes which no one understands. he said the campaign finance laws, he doesn't believe that what michael cohen pleaded to are crimes. you have done a great job of explaining why, yes, campaign finance laws are a crime. >> well, exactly. remember, there are two purposes of campaign finance laws, to find out where money comes from into campaigns and where it goes. it's about disclosure. what michael cohen did -- and he says the president joined with him is lied about that. where the money came from and what it went to. the reason he did that is because the public would have been so interested in knowing that the president or then candidate on the eve of the election was engineering all this money. the president didn't answer, but remember how many different answers he has given over the months about the action. some of it is clearly lies now. there was an interview on air force one where he said he didn't know anythin
