mccabe. republicans have been going after him about his role in the clinton investigation, what happened leading up to the election. democrats want to know what james comey told him and when, particularly about these meetings with trump. yes, as nbc s reporting has born out, my colleague coming in with the scoop, says that mccabe did cooperate james comey s account that the president had asked him for loyalty in this meeting. again, we know that comey was the only person in the room with president trump at the time. but any additional cooperating evidence, notes, conversations, things like that, potentially bolster comey s argument and comey s credibility in what has been a he said/he said back and forth between the president and his former fbi director. asked him for loyalty. i need my panel to weigh in. because for rutger, i know you ve got some insight on this. what s going on here? it s significant mccabe would face so many hours of testimony and he would back up comey. it s no
last week this is coming to a close. this investigation is winding down. let me assure you, mr. president, when one of your aides gets immunity and when your personal assistant is being questioned, not only is it not winding down, it is moving quickly in of a different direction. the heat is on. ben, last point. yes, i would just agree with that. obviously it s not winding down. he is muddying the jury pool. he is convincing some people that the fbi is corrupt, mueller s corrupt. mueller will either have the goods on obstruction and collusion with russia or he won t. we have to wait and see what he comes out with. if it is damning, if it is clear evidence of obstruction and collusion, all of this muddying of the water stuff isn t going to matter. assuming the president isn t successful in getting him out. next, i have power. we re going to speak with the reporter behind a revealing new interview with steven bannon. we re going to learn more about bannon s political ambitions an
case commonwealth, and local resources coming together for the folks there. they also this is the second time this week the president spoke for over half an hour to open press. and he s one of the most, if not the most accessible president in modern times. he and mitch mcconnell, the leader of the senate the other day, holding about 30 minutes in the rose garden with the press. today 36 minutes or so with the governor of puerto rico, willing to talk and answer questions. many times, harris, because the president realizes it may be the on chance he gets to get the information out there in what is an otherwise often cloudy and poisonous atmosphere these days in the media. harris: i would add to that the other day as well outside that cabinet meeting, meeting in the cabinet room after they had met. he spoke for another 17 to 20 minutes as well and with press availability at that. that sort of transparency today though i imagine will make some news. i have to tell you, kellyanne,
is. tomorrow we ll get to question deputy attorney general rod rosenstein and i ament on miss if i can we ll hear from james comey in front of the judiciary committee, the senate intelligence community or possibly both. that will allow to us move from press to facts. without the new york times or the washington post or the other news organizations doing reporting on that, nbc news included, where would the democrats be? is the press doing their job? are the democrats doing their job to try to uncover these details? well, there s a lot of environment by investigative journal i. i m grateful for that. a free press is one of our key pillars. so is respect for law. we ve only had one previous incident where an fbi director was fired by a president in modern times. that was by president clinton and it was with good cause and something widely explained.
next four years will be like one day of hillary. second, he may be the most effective antileft president in modern times. sean: he said it on the campaign. i said, he is anti-pc, antileft, anti-stupidity and he is deeply pro-american. which of those values shouldn t make a conservative happy? sean: i agree. he wants a 10% reduction in the size of government. that is significant. you know baseline budgeting better than anybody.uc a 20% reduction of the workforce in washington. simultaneously before he got into office, the republican congress made the debt ceiling $9.7 trillion. that doesn t sound like limited9 government. how will the smashed the ability? i m not so certain that the
