lost the faith of fbi and then there was a short letter from the attorney general of the united states recommending the president fire him. how can a man who is recused from all things involving the russia investigation write a letter to the president of the united states saying fire the man leading the thing i m recused from? i can t wait for his answer. i really can t. because it s going to be asked. don t you think he s going to answer if you look at the memo by the deputy attorney general, it was all about comey s management of the clinton investigation? isn t he going to say i wasn t acting on the russia investigation? i was acting in my capacity as disciplining someone involved in the 2016 hillary investigation? it s going to be a nightmare. he s going to get questions like this up and down. i don t know that the average person watching this really gets what recusal means and why it matters. i think we should also pay very close attention to what he did say in that press co
we re hearing more and more warning signs from senator graham and arye fleischer, former white house press secretary and others, please change the manner which you re responding to this very serious matter. from an increasing number of republicans, i will say just one observation, with no real i don t know if this is the case but you know what he didn t tweet a lot, the nine days on the overseas trip, melania trump was with him the whole time, she moved into the white house with barron over the weekend. maybe a few less from the president. we ll see. david from your beat on the republicans, lindsey graham said over the weekend, you have senator james from oklahoma his interactions with comey after he heard comey testify were very inappropriate. susan collins saying release the tapes, we want to know more, questioning the president and senator mike leigh of utah about comey s testimony saying he doesn t strike me as someone who would lie under oath. is this a problem for the whi
just stop talking, or you might walk into a perjury trap. you ve got senator james langford of oklahoma saying that the conversations that the president allegedly had with comey were very inappropriate. susan collins of maine saying just show us the tapes, stop giving us mixed messages. mike lee of utah about comey s testimony, asked if he believed him, saying he doesn t strike me as someone who would lie under oath. if you re sitting in the white house this morning, are you worried about this growing divide? i would be, if i were donald trump, that you re going to start losing too many republicans. i mean, the tape issue here is just incredible. i mean, here, i spent a lot of my career, poppy, i was director of the eisenhower center. i wrote a lot of books on world war ii. donald trump constantly talks about douglas macarthur and general patton. can you imagine them playing mamby-pamby games with tapes, like maybe i have them, maybe i don t, and the clownish routine, hijacking all
no compunction to try to cooperate with this white house or the republican majority in both houses. republican governors and republican state legislators across the board. there is no willingness to cross over and support what i would say are even nonpartisan issues like air traffic control and infrastructure reform. ivanka and her father s work place initiatives this week. workforce development. we can t get people to say hey, skills training, technical vocational education great idea. i will cross over and support. brian: all right, kellyanne, just talking about this whole thing and the big picture, so far many people are saying no collusion. now they are saying most legal experts say they don t see obstruction of justice. i don t know what robert mueller is doing with his road team there. what lindsey graham said yesterday, mr. president, if you just don t talk about comey and russia, if you are quiet about this, we will clear you because we don t believe you were even colluding wit
i think it shows how questionable his character is, that he would take conversations that he had with the president of the united states, which should be protected under executive privilege and then he gave them to a friend to leak to the new york times. i think it proves that the president made the right choice in firing director comey and brings into great question some of the decision-making he made as fbi director and since. chris: now, the president friday, after comey s testimony, said that he viewed that testimony as, quote, total vindication. but in his testimony, mr. comey said that the president, he repeatedly said that he lies. he said the president in a private dinner sought a pledge of loyalty. that at an oval office meeting he basically asked comey to let the flynn investigation go. listen, chris, you have to keep in mind that this is one person s record of what happened. the only two people who know what happened in those
