then the president of the unitee states who comey worked for during what the president looked like a job interview asked am i being investigated? that s highly improper. so there s a sense that an independent body needs to look at this because the president is not closing this. not disclosing his taxes. he s not coming forward. tucker:he hang on. let s stick to the core here. this is a story that will still matter ath month from now. this investigation into the russia connection. i think the whole thing is ludicrous but it doesn t change the fact that it exists. it s obvious to me that democrats would like to politicize it even further by creating a parallel investigation run by someone chosen by elected members of congress. my question to you remains, why is the fbi investigation inadequate? is it corrupt? the president just fired the
the fbi? the people who work there? that is what you are saying. tucker: if you are not to say not, why would you take the investigation from them and handed to somebody appointed by politicians? this doesn t make sense. there s multiple ways of doing this. you could have an independent prosecutor that s appointed by the justice department. that can be brought up. you can have an independent prosecutor or a body that is appointed by the intelligence committee or in the senate.in there s multiple ways of doing this. tucker: who would that be? the fact of the matter is, there is an issue here that needs to be investigated. the president seems like by his actions doing everything he can to intimidate the people, the very people that are investigating him. and so if we believe in all the law and order presidency, then he should be accounted to the law as well if anybody else. the confidence in government
an immigration policy coordinator at the institution for justice and democracy inin haiti. he says the president s review demonizes haitians, and he joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. thank you very much for having me. tucker: i think most haitian immigrants are great. met a lot of them, work hard, seem to do well. some of them are not great. some are criminals. why is it demonizing haitians to find out who s who? basically it s a red herring, and the reason is that the temporary protective status statute itself disqualifies criminals.s. you have to put in your fingerprints for the fbi to check. under the law, people who are criminals are disqualified. so it s really a complete red herring to look beyond it because it already is enacting that criminals aren t in the population. tucker: what about people who have been convicted of crimes or charged with crimes while in the united states?
are? a democratic strategist and a former consultant for the department of homeland security, and he joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. thank you. tucker: among many other things, this is a reminder that there is an investigation in progress into the question of russian interference in the last election and it s being conducted by the most widely respected investigative organization in the world, the fbi. so given that, why in the world would you want a separate political investigation of this as democrats are calling for? the president said that inon the same interview that you were showing, said that he actually had dinner with comey, and in that, he asked if he wants to say, was talking almost look at job interview and then he asked am i being investigated? he said think about that.ed this investigation is about the trump campaign and were they t colluding with russia in this last election? whether you agree with the investigation or not, investigation is happening.
fbi director, sending a single, this is the third firing of people that are investigating him. the first person was fired, then you have a justice department official, the acting attorney general fire, now the head of fbi. tucker: sally yates wasas investigating president trump? sally yates was the acting head of the justice department. the fbi director reports to sally yates. that s the governing structure. tucker: this conspiracy is getting too complex for me to keep up with. though i do this every night.y are you saying that trump fired sally yates in order to squelchh the russia investigation? i thought he fired sally yates because she contradicted his executive order of immigration. no, she came specifically to talk about general flynn. she came to the white house and said we have to worry about general flynn, his contact with
