he doesn t give really a the best explanation into that explaining that perhaps this is the way he was thinking. but we know that the end what this really how all of this started was as you remember, why they even went back and started looking at the e-mails again was because of the anthony weiner investigation, and here s a clip now of him explaining why he made the decision that he did. hillary clinton s convinced that that letter defeated her. what do you say to her? i hope not. i don t know. i honestly don t know. i sure hope not. but the honest answer is it wouldn t change the way i think about it. my hope, i didn t write the book for this reason, but talking about leadership, it was important to tell the e-mail story, because it s me trying to figure out how to lead well. the people will read that story and try to put themselves in my shoes. try to realize that i m not trying to help a candidate or hurt a candidate. i m trying to do the right thing. and you can come up wi
conservative media and trump continues to reference it on the campaign trail, watch this. it was reported last night that fbi is conducting a criminal investigation into hillary clinton s pay for play corruption during her tenure as secretary of state. in other words, the fbi is investigating how hillary clinton put the office of secretary of state up for sale in violation of federal law. the fbi agents say their investigation is likely to yield an indictment. so, john, it sounds good, but again not true. no, it s not true. what s your reaction? it s worse than rumors. they re out-right lies and i don t believe it starts with comey. i believe it may have started with rudy. he s represented these fbi agents. he s hired them. they work for him, and he can t
completely unjustified and almost a slap in the face of the fbi s integrity, and i than from former agents, i than even from a few active agents who obviously don t want to identify themselves. okay. so he is quite specific in that interview. consciousness appeal. that he knows even from a few active agents who don t want to reveal their identities, jeffrey toobin. well, i mean, it s all part of the same story, and this is all started because james comey decided to violate one of the longest-standing principles and policies of the justice department by talking about an active investigation right before the election. that s what started this problem, it s comey s fault, he s responsible for beginning this process that included the leaks, and that s where the buck should stop. jeffrey, you and i both know this would not have been a
feed it, to what extent does he feed these people to give rumors. the misconduct here is not just comey. the misconduct is wider than that and the violation is historic, to be affecting a presidential election with lies about old investigations that have gotten nothing as a result of the investigation and just days before an election. this is a major crime against freedom good speech, and distinct and understandable elections among a democracy. i m up against the clock. i m sorry, page, you can blame our fellow panelists. or jay z and beyonce. see you next time. thank you, gentlemen. when we come back the economy is a top priority, but who will win with working-class voters?
interrogation at that point. he looks like he s not telling us something, and these are somehow the result of james comey s letter to the fbi. i don t think that at all. in fact this is another reason i think comey was right to issue the letter when he did. he did not cause these leaks but he knew these leaks were coming so wouldn t it be better for there to be an official letter from the director of the fbi, not asuesing anyone of anything, but saying we found additional e-mails we need to review them and this is inconsistent with what i told congress earlier so i m clarifying the record. not saying anything more about it, not the substance of the investigation, not the details of the investigation, but i think he did that try to head off some of these leaks, not to encourage them. hey, page, how did that go, the heading off the leaks, do you think that was a big success? leaks were inevitable, jeffrey. they were going to happen. what does james comey going do? he cannot control o
