of arizona saying he regrets this and we see from the chairman of the intelligence community that he is troubled by this. the question, is it likely now that to insulate the white house, he will supportle n independent inquiry into the russian probe? i think the president is very comfortable where that investigation lies, it lies with the deputy attorney general. i don t think there ll be any great call here to have a special prosecutor look into that. let s also look at some of the statements coming from democrats on capitol hill, juan. it was 14 days ago, senator schumer said rod rosenstein was a guy who has
tomorrow and watch the view? maybe he is looking forward to that, finally. perhaps just getting out. greg, nobody can spin a tale like you can. if you go back to what the fbi director said at boston college, it looked like he would take this all the way through until the end of his tenure. but the president made it clear to comey in the letter of termination he said while i greatly appreciate you informing me on three separate occasions that i m not under investigation, i nevertheless concur that you are not able tot effectively lead the bureau. basically the president was saying i appreciate the fact that you said favorable things about me and things that will lead people to believe there was no collusion by the trump campaign, with the russia in terms of trying to influence the election, but i m not going to allow you to stay when i have people telling me that you are not good for the job.
the fact is, this man violated the policy, democrats they worn him out. when does president trump act? the democrats won because they feared it would be seen as a political action help hillary clinton. trump acts in the midst of this investigation as things are getting hot with mike flynn, as things are getting hot with carter page, things are increasingly apparent subpoenas, grand jurywh investigations, increasing pressure on trump leading potentially towards impeachment. it s only getting hot in the mainstream media, juan. i do think there s a lot of corruption swirling around comey. he handed out immunity like candy during this investigation of the clinton email investigation. he let her associates destroy their own canan produce. he did not investigate the clinton foundation.
it s a big story but is it as life-changing as he suggests? all the legal cases since we have covered this is as significant news story. it should be covered and given adequate attention for sure. there are a number of investigations going on. i think the president handled it right in terms of waiting to get a result of an investigation and a review from rosenstein. he could ve removed the one line, to make it a little bit clearer. spicer or huckabee the president appreciates the result of the investigation, there s no evidence of wrongdoing on behalf of the president president. despite the president made that decision.
essentially moved out and fired the acting attorney general forv failing to move forward on an executive order and has now fired the fbi director in addition to firing 46 u.s. attorneys. all of those things are illegal and can happen. it s his discretion. it s just a lot in 109 days. maybe that is what training the swamp means. kimberly, what do you think? just in question in terms of process but i think you bring up a good point, bret. he did need to get this investigation the resultsat found by rosenstein otherwise people would have questioned, why didn t it happen before? unless you have that information, and those reports in front of you, he would have
