be an absolute water carrier for the president. it would be an absolute tour de force. you wouldn t think things could get much lower an the department of justice. this would be the test of that. we have watched the president in the open attempt to subvert the independence of the department of justice at every turn from firing comey and telling him to let flynn go to berating the attorney general to telling his white house council to fire mueller and direct mueller to be fired, berating rod rosenstein. he has not been it appears not been successful particularly, not gotten rid of mueller, but the question is how long that wall holds up. right. and have some bricks already fallen. you re right. some of the big signature items he wants to achieve still are left undone. but you know, a 40-year career
said this, according to comey. i hope you can see your way clear to letting this goo. to letting flynn go, he is a good guy. this is the president of the united states with me alone saying i hope this, i took it as, this is what he wants me to do. i didn t obey that, but that s the way i took it. it is so wildly inappropriate. it is so contrary to how the government is supposed to work. and it may well be evidence of a crime. did you at any time urge former fbi director james comey to close or back down the investigation into michael flynn? and also, as you look back no. no. next question? it may have been comey s appearance on capitol hill. just days before he was fired in early may that finally sealed his fate. comey was asked about his decision to publicly announce the reopening of the clinton e-mail investigation before the election. look, this was terrible. it makes me mildly nauseous to think we may have had some impact on the election, honestly
michael flynn had been forced out. the white house said flynn was fired because he lied to the vice president about his conversations with the russian ambassador. questions have been raised about whether the president knew flynn also lied to the fbi, which is a federal crime. so another critical question is whether trump knew it when he said this according to comey. i hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting flynn go. he is a good guy. it s the president of the united states with me alone, saying i hope this. i took it as this is what he wants me to do. i didn t obey that, but that s the way i took it. it is so wildly inappropriate. it is so contrary to how the government is supposed to work. and it may well be evidence of a crime. did you at any time urge former fbi director james comey to close or to back down the investigation into michael flynn? and also as you look back no. no. next question. it may have been comey s
sfwroo why would you kick the attorney general, the chief of staff out to talk to me? my impression was something big is about to happen. this was one day after national security adviser michael flynn had been forced out. the white house said flynn was fired because he lied to the vice president about his conversations with the russian ambassador. questions have been raised about whether the president knew flynn also lied to the fbi, which is a federal crime. so another critical question is whether trump knew it when he said this, according to comey. i hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting flynn go. he is a good guy. this is the president of the united states with me alone saying i hope this. i took it as this is what he wants me to do. i didn t obey that but that s the way i took it. it s so wildly inappropriate, so contrary to how the government is supposed to work. and it may well be evidence of a crime. did you at any time urge
