this is the perfect time to because everyone is clamoring for him to do something. it is a fact. he said something incorrect last week. why didn t he correct it half an hour later? an hour later? he s had a number of days. he waited until the media was hammering him today. he doesn t come out with the letter, he has somebody else come out with the letter f a weasely excuse when he testified about huma abadeen. the wind is behind his back. senator graham issued a statement essentially saying time to move on. so, he had no one in his corner except perhaps the rank and file at the fbi, but that s about it. and now, greta, to be honest about it, we enter that part of the news cycle where the now former director of the fbi is nothing but a target and members of the home team, the obama administration, will have ample opportunity to pound him and pile on and make the case and make the case. so, he is in for probably a very
justification. perhaps trump just ran a great campaign. catherine herridge is live on capitol hill. lots to go over today. that s right, john. the director testified that it was routine for huma abadeen to send e-mails to anthony wiener. thousands of mails were found as part of a separate criminal investigation. the fbi told senators that they had two options, to conceal it or go public with it. it s not satisfy for democrats, including senior democrats, senator dianne feinstein who said the director made this most impactful decision with no indicator that there was new credible evidence. you took an enormous gamble, the gamble was that there was something there that would
sides. it s an interesting game so if you said what is hillary clinton s national security adviser before she was installed in the white house. i would call for an investigation. why are you so calm about it. i m on either side. are you calling for an investigation with mr. trump as well. sure. i don t have a problem with it. if huma abadeen were in the same situation you d say people have back room conversations, what s the big deal. i m more of a facts person. just speculating. we did hear they have transcripts of his calls so there s not any funky stuff they don t know about going on but once the facts come out, that s what we run with.

right. and hillary clinton was asked at the very brief press conference she gave, i think she took two or three questions, the final was have you heard from her? she was on the plane with her today. so if she wanted answers, she could have gotten those today. that s the thing we have not yet heard from the campaign, is whether or not what is huma s explanation of this. why were these not in possession of the fbi until now? so thousands of e-mails are going to have to go through with the various intelligence agencies to determine whether or not they re relevant and whether or not they change. do you think comey will come forward and say more? not before the election. i don t think there is much he can say. they believe they have said as much as they can. thanks so much. two views now on the story. joining us now phillip mugg and jeffrey tuban.
