has been going on over the past two years. one thing we know for sure from four years ago at this time is we have no idea who that person is going to be, especially in this giant field. we know a lot of names and who the early favorites are but we got a long way to go here. during 2016 donald trump called on russia to hack hillary clinton s e-mails. he received an intel briefing that russia was meddling in america s elections and he repeatedly praised vladimir putin while attacking just about everybody else. as we learned from his personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, all that happened as he was actively discussing a deal to build a tower in moscow while simultaneously denying he had any business there. welcome back to morning joe, it is tuesday, january 22nd. joe is out this morning. along with willie and me, we have mike barnicle, susan del
i am even more convinced that the fbi did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the information they got and that it has nothing to do with donald trump. okay. that was significant. because that was republican house oversight chair trey gowdy who has seen the evidence, defending the fbi s conduct in the russia investigation. he s the one who got the classified intel briefing. however, the white house continues to push president trump s debunked claim that the fbi planted a spy in his campaign. given what trey gowdy has said, is the president prepared to retract his allegation? no. apparently there is still cause to be concerned with. the deputy director of the fbi was actually fired for misconduct. the president is concerned about the matter, and we are going to continue to follow the issue. back with us, john avlon and
