Jeff Sessions on Fox News Sunday, asked first if EgyptAir was an act of terrorism. Yes. Asked what if it was not, how do you walk that back?> If it's not, that's good news, but it probably is, and we need to talk openly about the threat of terrorism.

Trump is meeting with foreign policy guys - is this just a "box check" on the way to presidency? Trump is enjoying the meetings, his approach is more like Kissinger's, he is not inclined to interfere where US interests aren't at stake, need to be more cautious about foreign involvement.

Does Trump have more to learn? Yes, says Sessions, we all do. Good intelligence is most important. Even committing a small number of special forces is a big deal.

Does Trump know what he does not know (does he know the limits of his knowledge). Yes.

James Baker criticizing Trump over nukes, NATO, Sec. Def. Gates is not comfortable with Trump. Sessions grins. He says as time goes on, Gates and Trump will probably find they have very similar views.

On to the NRA. Sessions says that Hillary is the most anti-2nd amendment candidate. She says the Heller decision was wrong. If Heller was reversed, it would not be unconstitutional to ban firearms.

Does Trump have so much trouble with conservative Senators that he has to produce a list of SCOTUS candidates this early? 9What a flawed premise - the press is the most dishonest people in the world). Sessions says that the list was produced for whatever reasons Trump had, probably to respond to claims that Trump would nominate liberal judges.
