the press had learned that he had had these meetings with a russian ambassador, a russian banker connected to the kremlin, and he had not put them on his security clearance forms. and very uncharacteristically he made a sort of impassioned argument to the president in front of people. i mean, jared s normal method of communicating with trump is to sort of corner him quietly, which really annoyed reince priebus, who was trying to manage the place. but this time in front of everyone he said to the president you ve got to fire james comey and here are three reasons why. the fbi doesn t like him, the democrats don t like him, and the base will love it. you know, steve bannon, you know, wily strategist, disagreed with him on every single point.

offices and bring a team together that will thoroughly investigate and do it fearlessl fearlessly. empower congress, force the fbi and justice department to get everyone of e those documents unredacted to the oversightt committees . the more lights that get turned on the better because were not dealing with something that s political here and i hope a lot of americans stop and realizehi that you can have a lot of political opinions if you like donald trump you don t like him here s what this is about. we preserve our system of government where we elect people, we empower them and whether we can trust law enforcement. if we have this kind of corruption and our law enforcement agencies, we have something that truly does take us to the end of our republic. that s why it matters and it really does matter that much. when people have the power to take your liberty away which law enforcement does, they can put you in jail, they can ruin your life. if those people become corrupt then your wh
chris, that in the justice department and the fbi we think about ourselves as being part of an institution. so we re institutionalists. and that our job is to serve the nation consistent with our oath to the constitution. so they re bound up together. jim is an institutionalist. i think that s a fair description. i mean, he led at the department of justice as the deputy attorney general, as a u.s. attorney, and as the director of the fbi. see, this gets to my question about motive. i think he is motived by institutional loyalty. now the clinton people don t like him, and i understand they don t like him because of the effect of what he did 11 days throughout the election. he did something that hurt hillary. i don t go along with lanny davis and all those people, oh, they re out to get hillary. i think his loyalty was to the institution as it was throughout which hurt both sides. what do you think from your reporting? you know how distress head is by president trump s behavior in of
the house. this was a bit of an aberration. the first election after 9/11, george w. bush was caught popular. the republicans actually picked up seats in the election. that is an anomaly in history but the president s approval rating a year after 9/11 a big part of that. this is the election a lot of republicans are studying now. they think they may be on the other side of this. barack obama had 46% in ten and the democrats lose the house and lose six senate seats. that s a big number. that s a big number. the question is where will the republicans be come november. at the moment, our polling has president at 40%, some other polls him up a little bit from that. we have him at 40% right now. where will he be on election day? what will be the number here? one of the big debates is when republicans look back at 2010, a lot of democrats ran from president obama. even those republicans don t like him, look at the flavor here from the republican retreat. the republican leaders understand the
