suggested that mr. comey stop investigating anyone, including the president never suggested that mr. comey let flynn go. that is a straight forward disputing of the testimony. it s not the only topic. the former fbi director also said this during a line of questioning. do you fwlbelieve this will e to the level of obstruction of justice? i don t know. that s up to bob muler to sort that out. zbh even hearing what they wanted from comey on thursday, the president took issue with him during that friday presser. no collusion, no obstruction. he s a leaker. but we want to get back to rubbing our great country. we were very, very happy and frankly, james comey confirmed a lot of what i said. and some of the thivengs he sai
resign. forward almost a year and that happens. it s done with timing right before russians show up meeting with the trump and his administration. the timing was terrible. the rollout was completely mishandled by the white house staff. so now we re going to hear from comey on thursday. i do agree that i think that he would like to simply be a fact provider. let other people make judgments. i fully expect that you will see congressmen on both sides of the aisle asking what i would call a leading question and saying, isn t it true that, and trying to get him to confirm a characterization of what he views as the facts. that s going to be frankly, it s going to make for a long day, i think, for james comey. i don t think that s what he wants to be doing. i don t think that where he wants to be. he wants to tell his story and step back and let others deal with it as they may. carl? i think we need to recognize
and now waiting to see if, indeed, we get a statement. imagine being in jeff sessions shoes and what that feels like tonight. yeah. one can only imagine. michael, i have to ask you about this new york times report as well. comey told jeff sessions he didn t want to be left alone with president trump. i mean this is something that could potentially be corroborated by sessions and speaks to comey s concerns, right? right. well, look, obviously we re going to have to hear from comey. we will hear from comey on thursday. but just a couple of notes on the sessions story which are worth pointing out. first of all, that the president has expressed frustration with sessions, and there s been heated talks. look, the president does have a habit of blowing up at people, seeming fits of rage, and then a minute later he s talking as though nothing had happened. i ve had experiences with donald trump like that. lots of people have experience with donald trump like that. but to david s point
can come down on both sides, did james comey make mistakes. there can be a good argument for he is a moral, upright man. i believe his moral compass points toward the north star. as he explained on may 3, in the last appearance before congress, i believe he explained the c calculus he went through. he struggled with it. all eyes are on comey on thursday. he is not going to help the president. that s the bottom line here. the question is, how much damage is he going to do? to take a step back. think how powerful james comey has become. he arguably more famous than the president. not since j. edgar hoover. we have to take a break. all eyes on comey on thursday. tomorrow senators will question
bounds for an fbi director. he ought to be fired and resigned. here we go forward almost a year and that happens, but it s time with timing right before russians show up with a meeting with the trump and his administration, the timing was terrible t. rollout was completely mishandled by the white house staff. and so now we re going to hear from comey on thursday, i do agree that i think that he would like to simply be a fact provider and let other people make judgment. i fully expect you will see congressmen on both sides of the aisle asking what i would call leaning questions, saying isn t it true that, trying to get him to confirm a characterization of what he views as the fact. and that s going to be, frankly, it s going to make for a long day i think for james comey, because i don t think that s what he wants to be doing. i don t think that s where he wants to be. he wants to tell his story and step back and let others deal is with it as they may.
