about what he believed trump was asking him to do. two, in order to believe the white house s argument here you have to believe james comby is lying or that the memos that were red to michael schmidt at the new york times were misread in some way out of context, three, if james comey was lying and are h a vendetta against donald trump, he would have released this stuff or leaked it out shortly thereafter, he wouldn t wait in order to prereceiver the sanctity of the investigation into russia. it doesn t strich me that james comey had a vendetta against donald trump and would purposefully misinterpret. i think jeffrey toobin hits it and david axelrod hits it on the head, the white house has no choice but to dispute this account he said versus he said account because anything other than that puts them in significant legal peril. this is the only option, when is
those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. with less pain, i can be more active. ask your doctor about lyrica. brian: before you log ton your computer this morning. the mother of all cyber attacks because it is the worse in history. president trump s most loyal supporters and staff members are saying the country is seeing the mother of all overracks to last week s firing of fbi director james comby. indications he may name a new fbi director before he leaves on friday. i think merrick garland would be a particularly good option given that he could have so much support from both side of the aisle. the u.s. vowing to tighten the screws after north korea test a missile they claim is capable of carrying a nuclear war head. the test came as one of kim s top diplomats suggested openness with talking to the u.s. are there too many undocumented people in america? yeah. why?
hillary clinton had anything to do with the firing of jim comby is simply absurd. i think anyone who has followed this story can tell that, and the reason he was fired is because of the russia investigation. you know, they can say anything that they want, but the idea that this had to do with hillary clinton, like that jim comey was too mean to hillary clinton, it is absurd. you heard sarah huckabee sanders at the press briefingñp filling in for sean spicer say that theyñiñi x$$u$eyñi wereñ upsett( at his testimony last week, comey s testimony last week, his explanation for theñr hillary clintonñr e-mail investigation and subsequently the correction this week he had to release explaining that he misspoke a bit on the e-mails that huma abedin, hillary clinton s aide had submitted to her husband s anthony weiner s computer and had to correct the
they need to make sure it s a thorough investigation. are you saying that the request for more resources by the fbi director to pursue this investigation, that there is a direct connection between that and the president s decision a few days later to go ahead and fire him. absent other evidence that s a credible conclusion. if you re in the trump white house and you know that they are looking for collusion by members of the trump twain, it s pretty clear they are in hot pursuit when they are asking for more resources for investigation. at that point he decided the best thing to do is terminate james comby. senator dianne feinstein, another of your colleagues called for the deputy attorney general and the fbi depp till director and the acting director andrew mccabe to appear before your senate judiciary committee. have you received a response on that request? i don t believe we ve received a response yes. i hope we do. there are questions. i voted for mr. rosenstein just a few d
let me read once again the statement from the white house. right. today president donald j. trump informed fbi director james comby that he has been terminated and removed from office. president trump acted based on the clear recommendation of both deputy attorney general rod rosenstein and attorney general jeff sessions. the white house statement adds the fbi is one of our nation hose most cherished and respected institutions, and today will mark a new beginning for our crown jewel of law enforcement, that s a quote. that s a quote directly in this statement from the president, president trump. a search for a new permanent fbi director will begin immediately. pamela brown is our justice correspondent. this is obviously major, a major development and certainly comes, i think it s fair to say, as a surprise. it certainly does, wolf. i can tell you anyone who covers the justice beat or anyone who is in our business or even outside is really shocked by this announcement coming from
