Fire him. Again, they found nothing. And in finding nothing, you know, thats a big statement. If you know, the person whos in charge of the investigation, you know all about that, deputy rosenstein, Rod Rosenstein, he wrote the letter, very critical of comey. One of the things i said i fired comey. Well, i turned out to do the right thing. Because you look at all of the things that hes done and the lies, and you look at whats gone on at the fbi with the insurance policy and all of the things that happened. Turned out i did the right thing. But he signed, as you know, the fisa warrant. So Rod Rosenstein who is in charge of this signed a fisa warrant and also signed a letter that was essentially saying to fire james comey. And he was right about that. He was absolutely right.

That is all in for this evening. The Rachel Maddow show starts right now. Thank you at home for joining us this hour. Cnbc had two big scoops today. The first one is that they were the first u. S. News outlet to translate the list of americanmade products that is about to get smacked by china. This is something i said we were anticipating today. It has now happened.

Affair with the president. Its a new twist in the Stormy Daniels case thats even more dramatic because the special counsel in the russia investigation, Robert Mueller, played a role in making this raid happen. Lets go to our justice correspondent evan perez and our Law Enforcement analyst josh campbell, a former fbi special agent. Evan, what are you learning about this extraordinary raid . Extraordinary raid is exactly the point here, wolf. Michael cohens office, we know, has been raided by the fbi. It was carried out under the authority of the u. S. Attorney in manhattan and according to Michael Cohens attorney he says this was done as a referral.
