the third round of the u.s. open since 1996. the 15 year. a reset thriller and is going to face the number one seed. she became the youngest person ever to look at the final 16. 10 minutes after the hour james comey set a dangerous precedent by making his memos but won t face, all charges. our next guest is a former doj official who says comey s reputation is in shreds but is he out of the woods legally? us regrets the field but it wasn t security who took him out.
public information. there is that and james comey has responded, sending out a tweet, read the end of this when we put it on screen, i don t need a public apology from those who defame me but a quick message with our we light about you would be nice. what do you make of that? that necessary? know. there are two things about that. believing he needs an apology confirms his arrogance. and his unwillingness to recognize his misbehavior at the fbi. second, the only apology he deserves is one from the american public for foolishly believing that he was an ethical, unbiased professional who could be trusted to run the fbi. what a mistake that was. rob: celebrating the fact he didn t leak any classified information. that is what he zeroed in on. do you think he is ignoring the
it basically destroys what reputation comey had left. they declined to prosecute him because the memo he leaked was not with classified information in it but what the report confirms is comey s arrogance, holier than thou attitude that the rules, everybody else in the fbi had to live with don t apply to him and that s not a good thing to say about the head of the fbi. jillian: the ig report slamming james comey by not safeguarding sensitive information obtained in the course of his fbi employment and by using it to free public pressure for official action comey set a dangerous example for the 35,000 fbi employees and many thousands more former fbi employees to similarly have access to or knowledge of
by failing to seek authorization from the fbi for those documenting personal conversations with the president. failing to mark one of these is classified and no authorization to remove the memos the inspector general deemed government records. the feud between the president and fbi director playing out on twitter, the president said perhaps never in the history of our country has someone been more thoroughly disgraced and excoriated than james comey in the inspector general report. he should be ashamed of himself but comey says he is owed an apology, no evidence that comey or his attorneys released classified information contained in those 2 members of the media. i don t need a public apology from those who defend me but a quick message, sorry we light about you wouldn t be advised, the report drawing swift action from republican lawmakers. a bad day for james comey.
a friend of mine to share the content of the memo, didn t do it myself for a variety of reasons but asked him to because i thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel. rob: that was two years ago james comey admitted to using his memos to lots of special counsel. jillian: the doj inspector general s report says comey s actions the dangerous example but will 9 night him. what is next for james comey? rob: here with expert insight, thanks for coming back to the show. what did you make of the inspector general report and the decision here? one of the most scathing criticisms i have ever read.
