guy. right? very interesting read. it is not an interesting read. it is accurate read. it is in the testimony. it is your reading of what s in the testimony. if you want to talk about context it s not my reading. it is what is in the testimony. the context of it is a communication and dialogue. you are talking about context. context matters. of course it matters. you want to bring up what happened in the campaign. no, i don t. that conversation is a function of the document that james comey prepared because he was worried about the conversation. you are making it sound like it was a good conversation. chris he was so troubled by it. he asked not to be left alone with the president. if he was worried, why did he say no one asked him to stop the investigation. come on. you are right. he has to answer for that. of course he does. if he was so concerned he had to put it all in a document and
loyalty. he asks i hope you see your way to finish this flynn thing. none of that concerns you? what concerns me is the truth needs to get out. that is what president trump was trying to accomplish. how do you know that? yesterday confirmed that. he said three times i wasn t under investigation. did mr. comey s testimony confirm that? it confirmed it yesterday. what does that have to do with loyalty and end the flynn probe and asking if he wants his job. he wants to get to the truth. that is why he was asking. how do those statements speak to get to the truth. drop the flynn probe. that says get the truth to you? how so? it is funny, chris, even if that discussion and mr. comey s testimony yesterday, mr. comey says mike flynn s a good guy. that was the context of the conversation. he already fired mr. flynn. you don t think he understood he did something wrong? he fired the guy. comey testifies that mike flynn when president trump said mike flynn is a good guy. mr. come
werebetween mr. comey and mr. trump. how come others were not memorialized? do we know they weren t? how about when they gave cheryl mills immunity? after key conversation was justice department. how about the day after mr. clinton meets with loretta lynch on the tarmac? were those memorialized? why was this treated differently? i think as purview of the senate intel committee on the russia investigation, they should talk about issues that have nothing to do with it? no, i think context is important. right? come on. that s a political talking point. we know it. it has nothing to do with the russia investigation.
when michael flynn came up in the conversation to continue the russian investigation. the president was talking about the flynn situation. not the broader russia investigation. there are bad things said about the president in the dossier. the president wanted that clear as well. congress member, hang on. he never says the president urged me to continue the investigation. he doesn t say that. he just doesn t. but the president wanted that investigation and that part to continue to clear his name and clear things up. he wanted the fact to come out he is not under investigation. is that the same thing asking for the investigation to go on? the president wanted the truth to come out. what mr. comey testified to confirms what the president has been saying. three times he wasn t under investigation. no obstruction of justice. mr. comey testified under oath no obstruction. the other interesting things in here, too, chris. it is interesting. the only conversations that w e
not under investigation. reporter: comey corroborating the president s claim that comey assured him three times he was not under fbi investigation. describing three occasions where he offered the president this assurance. the first during a meeting at trump tower on january 6th. he briefed trump one-on-one about a dossier of allegations of the then president-elect. the dossier coming up in the phone call on march 30th. then the cloud of the investigation want impairing him the ability to act on behalf of the country. he had nothing to do with russia and had not been involved with hookers in russia. he assumed he was recorded while in russia. during that call and another on april 11th, comey said president trump pressured him to say he was not personally under investigation. he told me we need to get that fact out. in the final conversation, the president again emphasizing loyalty. i have been very loyal to you.
