Summary

Donald Trump said the mid-terms were a huge success (they weren't), that he did better than other presidents during their first mid-term elections (he didn't), that he had the touch of gold and only those who ran away from him suffered (not true). On the other hand, he still has a job today and Jeff Sessions doesn't. That's right, within hours of the election results coming in, the president flipped the script and started to put the squeeze on the Mueller investigation. What does that mean for the immediate future, the rule of law in America, our general level of nausea and anxiety. David Sanger of the NY Times, Mike Tomasky of the Daily Beast and Laura Rosenberger, former top campaign aide to Hillary Clinton join us to discuss.
