Two chairman, trey gowdy and Bob Goodlatte. But lets begin with catherine heritage at the Justice Department tonight. Lots to digest. The 500 page reports that it was 17 months in the macon addresses allegations of political bias and found that loretta lynn showed bad just dont make a judgment and fbi director james comey was insubordinate. No charges are appropriate in this case. When fbi director james comey gave his statement, the Inspector General found comey went outside the chain of command when he intentionally kept his boss, attorney general Loretta Lynch and her deputy, sally gates, in the dark. They found it was extra neri and insubordinate for him to do so, and we found no reason for the depressed weeks of basis for deviating from the established policy. In a tweet to, comey responded. I respect the doj ig office which is why i urge them to do the review. The conclusions are reasonable even though i disagree with him. People with good faith can see an unprecedented situation
Them, five fbi employees for investigation. Now, we have full analysis and reaction from every angle, including the first remarks from the house chair deven nunes. The report from the doj on the hillary email investigation found that former fbi director jim comey did not follow the bureaus procedures. His actions damaged the image of impartiality. Amazingly, comey still refuses to admit he was wrong. He wrote it so fast in todays New York Times. Nothing makes me think we did the wrong thing. Remember, it was that very insubordination that trump cited when he fired the fbi director in 2017. Now the doj Inspector General agrees. Now, maybe the most shocking revelation was a vow to stop trump from becoming president. In an exchange between fbi love birds, struck and paige, paige, texted hes not going to become president , right . Rereplayed, well stop it. Remember now this was. Struck was the lead investigator in the email probe and sliding in to the russia investigation. Paige was a seni

Lie. Theyre working with the north koreans until a few weeks ago on their icbm and Nuclear Program. The europeans want to keep things as they are for the trade value. If we sanction them again, we ought to sanction anybody else that does business with them. That will stop the euros to bail them out while they cheat on this program. John roberts is live with more. John . Good morning to you, jon. Gauging the percentages between nix or fix, nix has the edge right now. The president would like to fix it with a deal that takes care of everything that iran is doing. The short term Nuclear Program, the Longterm Nuclear program, the Ballistic Missile program and the destabilizing behavior. The white house is playing this close to the vest. We know the president in the last hour spoke to emmanuel macron. We understand that the jcpoa was the centerpiece of the phone call. The president spoke to president xi of china.
