information, he said no, never. so we know that mccabe has lied by the independent inspector general found it. now he s saying about comey, comey may have lied as well. so i don t think this is the end of it. but that s why we need a second special counsel. i give chairman gowdy and goodlatte a lot of credit. think sent that letter to jeff sessions, he s looking at it. the inspector general does not have seen a power outside of the direction. so we need somebody to look at this not from the inside because you can t trust what s happening right now. judge jeanine: you know what s interesting, congressman, you have got jim comey gone, the director of the fbi, now you have the deputy director of the fbi, and i think it s just a matter of time. the amazing part of this is we have to wait for this stuff to hit the public record before anything happens in the swamp.

countries staff sit down and negotiate the terms of the press interaction with these visits. it s sometimes interesting, sometimes awkward to watch a foreign leader listen to the translation of a foreign question that is somewhat intense political interest to both press corps. i imagine that s what we ll hear today. elizabeth holtzman is with us in the studio. we don t have your after action report with what you witnessed yesterday with james comey. i m curious to hear your assessment. if i was president trump, i wouldn t be buoyed by what comey said. comey may have said he wasn t under investigation. of course, comey was talking about the time he was head of the fbi. but it s quite clear that the president is now under terrific scrutiny if he s not under strict terminology and investigation by the special counsel. so what s to be made of that? plus, many people are now
michael, i had hugh hewitt on in the last hour, and he was saying he wants to see any sort of notes jim comey may have taken about president obama, because i guess republicans are starting to feel that comey may have had it out for president trump before he took office. what do you know about the meticulous notetaking that comey had done, and is that a reasonable measure of whether or not comey was doing his job or actively trying to find a way to undercut the president? i think what we know about what comey did in his notetaking is that he wrote memos at moments when he was fbi director, when he thought that down the road or at the time there was something going on that he felt uncomfortable about, or he thought may be an issue going forward. so what we don t know is what moments in the obama administration did he sit down and write memos about? we know that under the bush administration when comey was the deputy attorney general, he wrote a memo about a torture
perez is in washington. what have you learned? reporter: good morning, alisyn. the bad news for the president is there are more memos to be revealed according to people close to james comey. he is known to document big moments in tenure. a source told pamela brown that the fired director shared e-mails close to him about major conversations he had with donald trump. particularly those that he felt left him uneasy. the conversation left comey concerned that the president was trying to stop the investigation. comey also wrote memos after other discussions with the president. congress has asked the fbi to turnover memos and e-mails that comey may have written. the white house and president, however, are disputing how comey described the conversation. it will be comey s word versus the president. one surfacing from critics of james comey is why didn t he say something earlier before he was
