week. our thanks to kelly o donnell for that report. joining us from washington, deputy news editor for the washington examiner. give us a sense of what the reaction has been to president trump s support of a conspiracy theory about jeffrey epstein s death. what are you hearing in washington? democratic candidates running for president are outraged. that d they re saying this is the reason president trump needs to be evicted from office. people knew what they were getting when they voted for trump in 2016, this was after the conspiracy theory was noted against primary rival ted cruz, suggesting his father was linked to the jfk assassination. for better or worse, i m not sure this moves a lot of folks one way or another. where did the criminal investigation go.
movie deal. what we saw tonight didn t feel like some hard hitting interview. this felt to me like an episode of behind the music where on one shoulder we have director comey thinking do i go this way? on the other shoulder, do i go that way? t this man deciding when he has to tell the president he s funding the dossier or the politics that played into the fact that he brought uphill hillary e-mail, has a god complex and he s the only one to decide when things are right. i know part of the intention is to turn the fire back. he put himself out there. he wrote the book. on the facts of his account of the facts of this conversation, if the president asked to let a criminal investigation go of his former national security advisor, if you, by james comey as account, would that be obstruction? he didn t. you re saying comey is lying?
