we had nothing. that s before mueller even started. and then you look also at a guy like peter strzok and his other involvement in distress here, i would say from a legal standpoint, even a great lawyer like alan dershowitz, harvard professor that he is and 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 hannah 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 with 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
what happened in her loss, looking his direction uncertainty of what happened on july 5th of the summer before the election. well, maybe should come at me she didn t. no, i guess she didn t. there s a lot there with her in the relationship, i think he would ve been gone. i have a question the beginning why the current president didn t fire him right away, too. the site he was on couldn t trust them, so who could trust him? that s one thing. i know you aren t on this particular committee, but you have question people before. i m curious how it works. you get a bite at the apple with james comey, and then you get another one. mike: yes. harris: do you try to go down a road where he didn t remember? was he sent home to do some homework? could you work on this memory for however many times? what is the goal for the next time? mike: unfortunately come out usually works harris: because there will be a next time. mike: usually there is a camera on because so they takee
i think the president is wrong. if you look at what jeff sessions has done on immigration, on migration, all the key, of the justice department, i think sessions has personally done an excellent job. that s why he is still there. when people say why doesn t the president fire him, it s because of those policies. i think the reason the president didn t fire him is because his lawyers won t let him. after being repeatedly humiliated. and if he resigns, trump gets to reappoint. if he s fired, then you have the fact of rosenstein becoming the attorney general and the senate not confirming the replacement. so there is a bit of double jeopardy. sessions hasn t only been personally loyal, he has been an implementer of his policies. very conservative policies. but he is also saying that it was easy to anticipate that he would have to recuse himself.
you were trump? you got all the problems he had, would you fire mueller or just let the course of history. he wouldn t be in that trouble. b, if i knew that there was an inkling of connecting dots i would do what the president is doing. i would make the case, i d lay down the predicate for firing ultimately firing. the thing about this, he doesn t have to fire directly. he can fire indirectly. this is a bank shot through rosenstein, through the attorney general. he will find the perfect way to do this. so that he can go back and say i didn t fire him. this guy fired him. so that s the bank shot he s looking for despite his. what s he waiting for? he s waiting for the right lineup i think to do that. i think also the problem he s having who replays these individuals. because the pressure and scrutiny on that person whether it s a rod rosenstein figure or an attorney general figuring. > there s the conumb
con text to try to make sure that i wasn t as effective as a leader moving forward. shulkin was also asked how specifically he learned he had been fired. he wouldn t weigh in on that. i can tell you two white house officials have told nbc news that he was informed during a phone call with the chief of staff general john kelly during the day prior to the president s tweet that came out last night. so the president didn t fire him, it was his chief of staff? that s according to two white house officials. okay, thank you so much, kristen. my panel, john shuttllts. michael steele is former rnc chairman. liz smith, a democratic strategist. john, your members are all impacted by this. what s your thought about jackson? unprepared, completely unprepared. i m sure he s a great doctor but if you ve been following the
