slander me personally but to take the fbi, law enforcement intelligence professionals more generally. it is part of the administrations ongoing more on the fbi and the special counsel investigation that continues to this day. amanda is the host of the hollywood conservative and michael starr hawkins is a strategist and both are joining is now. also a contributor. thank you for joining us michael and amanda. let s get to the point on the surface, what do you say about this bombshell on andrew mccabe? you know, i do not think that this is the results of the mueller probe. i think this is a result of lying to investigators. investigators that are his peers. and you know we don t really know if it was all right lying. lacking candor could be anything from lying via
vindictive and political act. it is not what we need at the department of justice at this time. chris amanda, as you know the president tweeted this is a good day for america. in the dismissal and termination of andrew mccabe. andrew mccabe saying, this is not indicative of my career at all. 21 years he served. tell me what you think about senator ben cardin in his statement as well as that of senator chuck schumer who basically agrees. once again we have people criticizing the man the manne in which this was done rather than the reason for which it was done. and for the president, him doing a victory lap does not negate the fact that this man misled investigators and was recommended by his own agency to be terminated. we don t actually know that because the report hasn t been released. all we re doing is guessing.
terminated for perhaps, lying to his own people as well as the congress. might that lead to people having distrust of the institution throughout america? yes! i think that is actually the aim of the president and many allies. to discredit the fbi and the doj because of the investigation going on. knowing that these people will be testifying most likely against him, against paul manafort, against gates in the future. so if you are an attorney and you know this you discredit those people. amanda, going forward i would proffer a different notion. i think that they are very trusting. this is an organization has been respected for decades. i think that the firing actually helps the notion that they are starting to purge. and you can maybe start to restore that integrity and respect. and there are some that say
