Lawrence O'Donnell iranpresidenttrying Jeff Sessions wished he wasn`t the attorney general. The president Donald Trump has the most incompetent cabinet in history, and he`s unhappy with only one of them. Only Jeff Sessions. Lawrence O'Donnell attorneyunhappypresident The "New York Times" interview shows that the president Donald Trump believes he can get through the special prosecutor`s investigation of obstruction of justice with the simple words "I don`t remember".

And in the middle of that attack, the president told all of his teammates who were in the Oval Office that day how he is going to testify when Robert Mueller asks him under oath if he kicked all of them out of the room when he asked to speak with James Comey alone.

I think people saw that when he was running for president, that that`s the way he handled everything. It`s just this constant never let up attitude.
