attorney general did he sesigna you need some room, you need some clarity. the questions are all very well taken for all the reasons jeffrey just described. there ought to be some distance between the fbi director and the president. if the president clearly doesn t want that distance to be there, it then falls on the fbi. if comey didn t navigate it to his satisfaction, i don t know if he has anybody else to blame. but the maybes matter that errol is laying out here. this memo got a lot of heat. boy, he thought to write it down contemporaneously, this must have been a big deal. not a big enough deal to do anything about it, and if we know something about james comey, it s that if he thinks something really matters, he ll break protocol. he ll do things that nobody else has done before and have huge political impact, but not about president trump. does it mitigate the impression that he was really offended and thought it was really inappropriate? this has become a big republican tal
and it seems like some of you aren t doing it here and it smacks of political cover. go ahead, please respond. i came out of a closed door meeting that could be b.s. also. and i think many in the media are guilty of that. i come out of a closed door meeting and the story broke of comey. reporters reporting trump should be impeached. this is before they ve seen the memo. why didn t comey report it to the justice department? why didn t he tell his own deputy director? where is the memo? i accept the fact the memo was there. i m not anti-comey. all i m saying when you have this hysteria from one side, i want to say wait and see. i think wait and see is the national push back.
this in his testimony last week or why didn t comey go to the doj? well, my question is, who is he supposed to go to to talk to about all of this? jeff sessions? we live in a google culture. we want to know the answer right away. the dow and s&p and nasdaq have fallen more than a percent today. so divorinvestors are worried a independents are not on trump s side right now. those are the people who helped elect him. it s very hard to prove obstruction of justice and the i word. the toughest part is to prove intent. the fact that trumpb is joking could help donald trump. the very things that helped him be a businessman, his demeanor,
fbi was looking at the russian involvement. and people say why didn t comey release that? i think he felt a commitment on the clinton emails but on the russian investigation i think what he thought is if i intervene in this people are going to think i m trying to tilt this election to hillary. tough situation for this guy. but look, now move forward. we can t be yelling about obama, talking about hillary s emails and all this other stuff. let s get to the bottom line and bernie, you re right. party sometimes is really important but when party trumps nation, we lose and it s been happening now for a long period of time. not just recently. party has been trumping the good of this country for too darn long and i m tired of it, sick
axle. if it was the extreme that it is being painted as, why didn t comey say something about it? why didn t he go to the doj, if he did not go. we don t know all the facts. but if it was serious enough where he felt like, wow, i better record this. this is bad. you know that when he gets called, he is going to have to answer that question. it is a very fair question, what his supporters have said is he didn t want to make this widely known because he thought it would chill the investigation. he also might not have had confidence in the justice department. i don t know the answer to that. he s going to have to answer that. but now we re going to get the answer because he s clearly going to be called. i ll tell you one thing, though, guys, the person who probably won t be called to testify is vladimir putin, and this was an absurd development today when he offered up his transcript? supporting evidence for the president. i said to someone earlier, this
