something opposite to trump. that comey must be telling the truth and trump must be lying. that s what we ve seen anyway. comey s not giving away the store here. that s what we ve seen with this individual during the campaign, after the campaign. i mean, a number of times he s lied about even inconsequential things is staggering. and he s not telling us anything new from that standpoint. but again, comey is the kind of person who puts himself up as somebody who is a little bit holier than thou, which led to that statement he made in ending the clinton e-mail investigation, which he had no business making, when he got up there and criticized her for being careless. he had no business making any of those statements in the first place. that should have been done by the attorney general or the deputy attorney general, not by the fbi. this is the first time ever the fbi director has gone out and made a statement about an investigation. that is just not proper.
colleagues that i compared notes with all the time, that s not how things were handled. former director comey s rationale, shall we say, for making this prosecutor decisiona that the fbi director has no business making, that she was not to be prosecuted. that was based on that tarmac meeting. if that were the case, all he had to do is hand the investigation to the attorney general s office, let her recuse herself from making that decision, knock it down to her number two level person and then if that didn t happen, then maybe raise the issue publicly. tucker: it s really distressing to watch this. thank you for your perspective on that, i appreciate it. my pleasure. tucker: in order to get the federal government funded, democrats are demanding that daca recipients be given amnesty. they may try to shut down the government if they don t get it. that story next.
know and as i ve said, my former colleagues that i compared notes with all the time, former director comey s rationale, shall we say for making this prosecutor decision that the fbi director has no business making, that she was not to be prosecuted. that was based on that tarmac meeting. if that were the case, all he had to do is hang the investigation to the attorney general s office, let her recuse herself from making that decision, knock it down to her number two level person and then if that didn t happen, then maybe raise the issue publicly. tucker: it really distressing to watch this. thank you for your perspective on that, i appreciate it. my pleasure. tucker: in order to get the federal government funded, democrats are demanding that daca recipients be given amnesty. they may try to shut down the government if they don t get it.
not know what happened to this young man. we don t know if it was negligence on the part of the north koreans. it very well could have been. we don t know if there was a pre-existing condition. we don t know what happened to this young man. so making him a cause celeb or a cause on the peninsula is ridiculous and the president has no business, but this is trump s way of operating, tweeting and such. he has no business making comments from his pedestal of power about such things. and north korea is a very difficult situation. i like the fact that jim mattis has pointed out again and again that it is a difficult situation, that we don t need a war there and so forth. but as you ve intimated, you know, the whole theory of conservation on the enemies that you don t want any more than you can handle at any given time, we seem to know nothing about. where s congress, then? it s sort of baffling to me and i think the media has a lot of responsibility for not making the american people aware
this sort of backlash that you experience at your risk about why are you even raising questions about this. investigative reporting sometimes you fall in love with your source and you fall in love with your story and you want it to be true because it s a pretty big scoop if it s true. and that s where editors come in and say you haven t got it, go back and do more reporting. at the universities these claims of rape, it s not all about the young woman making the claim but the young men whose lives did she have any problem this woman that she would not contact the alleged rapers in order to get this story? the reporter getting conflicting stories on that but absolutely no business making that claim because then you are tying your hands as a reporter. maybe it was consensual. you have to try your hardest to get to the other side particularly because you re dragging their reputations, potentially, through the mud. that was one of many failures here on the part of rolling stone. we
