andrew mccabe is my guest on the beat tonight and the russia probe he helped start is back in the news as mueller s prosecutors got a judge to rebuke roger stone today issuing a wider gag order and warning the long-time trump adviser s next infraction could send him to jail. are these the outcomes former acting fbi director mccabe had in mind when he worked to lock in the russia probe after trump fired his boss james comey? as i m sure you know if you watch the news, he has been speaking out plenty this week, generating big headlines including about deputy ag roger stone, mueller s boss, and whether they were talking about removing trump from office and whether trump ultimately sides with putin for the wrong reasons. so you ve heard about some of that but there is a lot that mccabe hasn t addressed in detail, including the tension and the legal implications around how james comey got fired, whether the fbi made truly historic blunders in 2016 elections and whether we need to get to t
he was protected in the russia investigation, poppy. on top of it, i think everyone wants to know about who the president is nominating for deputy transportation secretary, jeffrey rosen to be nominated as deputy ag. can you tell us about him given the heightened interest in the position? sure. the deputy attorney general position is supposed to be the overall manager of the department, he oversees all of the u.s. attorney s officers and rosen is a pick here that has raised eyebrows because he has no prior experience in the justice department. he s a long time partner at kirkland and ellis with bill bar who is now the attorney general, he s been the transportation secretary but he s facing an uphill battle here given the turmoil at the justice department over the past several years under trump. laura, thank you for the reporting. stay with us.
