is. durham pulled a comey today. they re not supposed to talk about ongoing investigations. lawyers like you and journalists like me are constantly frustrated by that rule. you can never get any information about what s happening with your clients when they re the subject of an fbi investigation. they never want to tell us anything. and comey wasn t supposed to speak and now durham came out, amazing timing, the day of the i.g. report, when his benefactor bill barr wants a counternarrative put out, and he said, we don t agree with the underpinnings of what started this and how the probe got going. is that foreboding for you? it s not forebodes because pete didn t break any law. what it is is incredibly disappointing. here s a golden opportunity for the attorney general to say to the american people, this should be deeply reassuring. this was your fbi doing its job. it wasn t politically motivated. chris, can you imagine what an i.g. report would say if the fbi didn t open an investi
i like what you re seeing. it s beautiful, isn t it? yeah. td ameritrade now offers zero commissions on online trades. all right. let s just be very clear about this inspector general report. it matters. we re going to get to what the articles of impeachment look like. i have one of the players coming on, congressman jamie raskin. but this matters. we ve had two years, okay, of our president and his defenders saying, it was all bogus, this russia investigation. the way it was done was dirty. it was political bias. the only ugly politics being played are by him and now
but it s include moueller or don t include mueller. you ve got to make a choice. the word mueller means different things to different people. there s a lot that s in the mueller report. speaker pelosi has herself said that all roads lead to russia, and russia s fingerprints are all over so much of what s in the but it s the obstruction. it s what mueller seemed to suggest in his testimony and in his report he was leaving to you guys. yes. and i believe that this is a president who is engaged in a pattern of obstructing any investigation into his criminal misconduct and the corruption of his administration. in terms of, you know, what specifically is cited, it really does come down to a question of drafting of the articles, and i m not involved in the, you know, final stages of that process. lots of us have tried to have input along the way, but we are
of duty had we not begun it, it is satisfying to finally see those words in print. jim, did you anticipate this a.g. coming out and raining on his own agency s parade? no, i didn t. i probably should have given the statements he made about the mueller investigation. but i did not see that one coming quite frankly, and it was disappointing given, as andy was saying, the conclusions are quite clear that the president s statements over these past several years were all wrong, that there was no hoax. there was no conspiracy to overthrow anybody. there was no sedition. there was no treason. there s no evidence of any of that. and as you suggested quite bluntly, i think the president should apologize to us. i respectfully asked him to i would ask him to apologize to me, to my colleagues, because the things he said are just wrong. and i think he should step up and do that at a minimum. it s just wrong. anyway, i didn t see the a.g. s thing coming, and that i found i found it really qu
right for it. and dragging us down into the mud is not the right thing to do. that s what i ve been about, chris, but it s been really hard, and it negatively affected my career. it s affected my friends. it s just been very, very difficult. and you know it wasn t done out of heartfelt belief. you know it was done out of political animus. we see it time and time again. here s the problem now. sorry, fellas, but you know this. it ain t over. you know this durham report. he doesn t come out today after all we learned about comey and not going out early during an investigation, and what this inspector general, horowitz, wrote about that. he comes out with an ongoing investigation and says, i disagree. we have our own probe going. you know it is not going to be friendly to this i.g. report s findings. so how do you deal with that, andrew? on one level, i m saying to you, hey, good for you. you just got an attaboy. you re not the bad guy the president says you are. but you know what s com
