But thats obviously something were trying to get information, answers to the white house, the Justice Department not commenting specifically on this firing. But lets talk a little bit more about bharara, his role here in new york, and really when it comes to litigation on such a large scale that impacts the country. He was not necessarily in just a routine post. So he gets called in the Southern District of new york, called the sovereign district of new york. Because its a huge orbit. Rudy giuliani was there. Comey from the fbi. Bhrara is looking at the mayor of new york city, has this ongoing corruption probe. Hes about to try two of Andrew Cuomos closest confidantes. And looking at Things International in scope. Really big and interesting. In addition to the fox thing i mentioned, significantly. He has an investigation excuse me, he arrested a tur
Hackers were targeting the dnc and other democratic operations. By the way, as candidate trump was publicly calling on the russians to publicly hack Hillary Clintons emails. We dont know the contact or motive before the conversations, but the word they happened is a big real development. We should note the kremlin and donald trump this morning are calling it fake news. Cnns jim sciutto has been working sources all day, all night on this story. Jim, bring us up to speed on where we are right now at 9 01 eastern time. I should knnote calling it fe news without the president or the white house responding to the substance of the reporting which weve asked them to do. Lets get to what the reporting is. One, two things caused alarm, raised red flags in u. S. Law enforcement and intelligence. First, the volume and frequency of the communications between trump advisers and the russians. Communications happen during campaigns, typically at a much lower level and much less frequent than what the
Special counsel . Eventually can he fire everyone . I mean, its going to be fascinating tomorrow. Were going to hear every one of those questions. What we dont know is how many answers were going to hear. Yeah. That were not sure of. Yeah. This question of Executive Privilege and what theyre going the call Executive Privilege and such a i mean thats a difficult legal theory anyway. Thats not a cut and dried thing even in the best of circumstances, i think were going to get into Appeals Court territory pretty quickly tomorrow. And i have a feeling that Jeff Sessions isnt going to rely on the feelings pleading that we heard last week from dan coats and the director of nsa. It is my feeling that i shouldnt talk about this. I have discomfort. Yeah. Yes. I have a gavel. We will seattle. Thank you, rachel. Thanks. When president nixon fired the special prosecutor investigating him, he did it on a friday night and shocked

Nothing to do with his qualifications. They are opposed to donald trump pointing anyone to the Supreme Court. Kneneil gorsuch a good man. Its the democrats who are breaking the rules, what theyre doing is changing the 200 year status quo. The ironny is that you could have said the exact same things, regarding judge garland. That, of course, was president s garlands dom knee to fill the same vacancy who republicans refused to hold a single confirmation hearing, much less a vote. It was an unprecedented feet of obstruction. Which Mitch Mcconnell on the Campaign Trail later, one of my proudest moments.

Tucker good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight, President Trump is watching yesterday, he has rendered his verdict. He said a former fbi director james comeys testimony is a major victory for the administrations side of the russia story, in effect a complete vindication.

Tucker you might be able to find some overstatement in there but heres whats true. As of 8 00
