after he was confirmed, was in with the president at the white house, and the president said to him, is there anything you can do to get comey to back off the investigation into flynn? he also called coats and mike rogers, the head of the nsa, and asked if they would go out publicly and say that there was no evidence of collusion with the trump campaign. sari, every prosecutor comes on and says everything is on the table. everyone is being investigated for everything, or is this something that really should have the white house alarmed tonight? i only have the information that i m hearing here, but all prosecutors say, everybody s being investigated all the time, or is this really they re zeroing in on him? i think this is a turning point, greta. the white house hasn t commented. we have the comment from trump a lawyer. i think there s concern on their part because trump has come out and said he felt vindicated by comey s testimony and that comey had told him you know what i th
attorney general sessions both said that they wanted to fire comey for disarray, morale at the fbi. yeah. and for the way he handled the clinton investigation and the fact that he said on may 3rd that he would do it all over again whereas trump tells less tore holt tt he did it because of the russia investigation. the cover-up that rod rosenstein might have provided for him, trump blew within 24 hours. i think there s another explanation too. he was really upset that comey wouldn t go public and say, donald trump is not under investigation. i would be upset about that. if i weren t under investigation and everyone was saying i was, i would be upset i think that s part of the reason he fired comey, and i thought comey s explanation as to why he wouldn t go public was a bad one. i would be upset too, but i think the fbi doesn t tell people they re not under investigation. that s a policy of the fbi. but he told trump that. he just wouldn t tell the public that. he s n
conversation with the president or anyone else about an investigation in a way that was not proper. i felt he so long in the department, former deputy attorney general, as i recall, knew those policies probably a good deal better than i did. thank you. but it did appear that mr. comey felt that the conversation was improper? he was concerned about it. and his recollection of what he said to me about his concern, i don t is consistent with my recollection. senator risch? attorney general sessions, good to hear you talk about how important this russian interference and active measures in our campaign is. i don t think there s any american who would disagree with the fact that we need to drill down to this, know what happened, get it out in front of the american people and do what we can to stop it. and that s what this committee was charged to do and that s
father. when he tells you to do something, guess what, there s no ambiguity in it. there s no, hey, i m hoping. you and i are friends, i hope this happens but you have do your job. for this guy as a politician to go back and write a memo, he felt so threatened, but he didn t do anything. back now with the panel. david, it does seem like the president s son is contradicting his father, president trump said he didn t say i hope you can let this go about flynn. only two people were in the room, the president and director comey. as i have said before on your show anderson and other types, if director comey felt so uncomfortable, i think he should have said to the president, mr. president, this is a completely inappropriate discussion for you and i have to be having. i don t feel comfortable about it. the president would have asked him why. he could have explained it. we would have been at the end of it. is this just a mistake by donald trump junior? he was tweeting all during the c
