he fires james comey it s going to get out there. it doesn t really make a whole lot of sense, but having said that i think taip take a step back. this comey story, the jeff sessions story and more recently mueller. you have such a sense in this interview about where the president s mind is. he is obsessing about these things. some of the things that he can t change that happened before, you know, really many months ago with comey, a guy he already fired. about feeling betrayed by his current attorney general and not having control over the current special prosecutor. and what are we talking about now we re talking about russia and we re doing it because it is the president of the united states who just blew a whole tank of oxygen into the story. you also get the sense this is a president who believes that everybody is out to get him. and talking about mueller, look he interviewed for fbi director.
staying on because he had a tenured term. regardless of why it happened, comey said he did it for the right reasons, because he felt that if this is out there, that he wants the president to have a heads-up about it, and not because he was warning the president that if, you know, he fires james comey, it s going to get out there. it doesn t really make a whole lot of sense. but having said that, i do think take a step back. this comey story, the jeff sessions story, and more recently mueller, you have such a sense in this interview about where the president s mind is. he is obsessing about these things. some of the things that he can t change that happened before. you know, really many months ago with comey about a guy he already fired, about feeling clearly betrayed by his current attorney general, and not having control over the current special prosecutors issue. what are we talking about now? we re talking about russia, and we re doing this to this extent

harris: democrats were eager to get infrastructure spending and get a bill passed and get people to work on these big projects. that s not the important thing. what i do think the president did which was very smart is that 48 hour hold he had on twitter. i don t know whose idea that is, but it was very smart. it allowed comey to stand the front burner. there s nothing the president himself did yesterday. his lawyer made news the comey story, that s what people were talking about, so the white house needed from the senate committee hearing.
back. i want to first go to you on this, kirsten. it can seem harsh. we are the competitor obviously of fox news. the reality of the difference between what people who watch fox know and hear and they are more likely to only watch fox to only watch fox other than people that watch msnbc jump around. media managers come piled 51 screen shots to show how fox covered the comey story about how comey fired dating to when the story broke to the evening of may 12th. four of these screen grabs. you see the one in the left-hand corner, lock her up, about hillary clinton. media hysteria over comey firing. media meltdown. democrats and comey. and the night about the comey
