continuing my conversation right now with former acting fbi director andrew mccabe about his new book, the threat. i gotta ask you about your firing from the fbi. the inspector general found, and i m quoting, you lacked candor on four separate occasions, basically saying you were lying. i know you have taken issue with the report and it conclusions. you said there are explanations for those inconsistencies, but you can t talk about them because of an ongoing civil case. don t you owe the public, though, at this point and readers some sort of explanation if you re asking them to believe you now? because that is the knock against you. sure. everybody points to, look, the inspector general s office is highly respected. yeah, which, you know, that is the knock that s so incredibly frustrating. anderson, i would like nothing better than to sit down with you right here, take out that report, and walk through every claim, every conclusion,
