that doesn t suggest anything weird about the perceptions of corruption adjacent to government service in this country. the same former president this weekend last night told an interview on the fox news channel that he fired the fbi director james comey when he was president in order to stop fbi investigations that he believed would result in him being removed as president. he just volunteered this information. he said, quote, don t forget, i fired comey. had i not fired comey you might not be talking to me right now about my four years at the white house. he said, quote, i don t think i could have survived if i didn t fire him. he doesn t mean he d be dead. he means, he couldn t have survived as president. he couldn t have made it four years as president. because of the fbi investigations in place under comey that stood to remove him from office. so he fired the fbi director in order to divert those investigations. in order to keep himself in power.
you come to a hornet s nest. in i didn t fire comey, they were looking to take down the president of the united states if i didn t fire him. some people said, you made a mistake when you fired comey. now the same people say it was most incredible instinctual move they have seen, i might be here with you, perhaps we ll would be talking about something else. but i don t think that i could have survived if i didn t fire him. it was like a hornet s nest, i fired him they went crazy again each other. mark: they didn t like him before you fired him, they wanted him removed, they thought he set up hillary, you fired him then they flipped. president trump: there are two fbis, the people on top, comey and mccabe. the two lovers.

who was leaking, that the president, you know, negative things about the president and the idea of bringing the taliban and other issues. and that is according to the source who talked to the president, you can have policy differences and personality clashes. when it comes to talking to the press and saying bad things, that is disloyal and that s a nonstarter. i don t know if it surprises me, but what is notable is bolton is not going quietly. i m curious to see what the impact of that will be and if it will continue. i think it will continue. this is man who has built an entire career and reputation that he very, very much wants to hold onto. and the fact that the president again, not surprisingly, fired him by tweet. bolton said he didn t fire him, right? bolton said he resigned. he asked for his resignation and he did it. you can call it anything you
and then you look also at a guy like peter strzok and his other involvement in stuff here, i would say from a legal standpoint, even a great lawyer like alan dershowitz, harvard professor that he is, and a man i admire, i would think you would have a hard time justifying his actions as an official in the fbi and don t forget, he worked for robert mueller and robert mueller fired him and then robert mueller cleaned his phone and cleaned lisa page s phone. well, robert mueller didn t fire him. he put him in a different position. sean: he claims he fired him and mccabe claims he fired them, so one of them is full of something. i think the point is, i think we have to have one rule of law apply to everybody but the rule of law i would apply to everybody would be to stop accusing people of crimes we should have had an independent commission where everything came out. i love what judicial watch is doing. bring everything out. bring everything into the light
