from former director comey? well, you know, as you think has been widely reported now james comey signed a nice book. i think he has $10 million coming to him based on his time at the fbi. he is trying to get some credibility back. this is a man who sat in front of congress and had to change his testimony on multiple occasions. this is man who has testified under oath that he took information he receives as the director of the fbi and gave it to a law professor to make sure that was put out to the public. that is a crime. i don t understand why the justifiable department has not gone after james comey and he is trying to keep an image of a holier than thou when is he a person who has lied to congress and gave out information and is not being prosecuted. pete: cryptic, poetic, bible verses. what is he alluding to that he is higher that he is above all of this and everyone else is playing in the mud? i think he is trying to keep himself relevant in this day and age right now.
contrast. before the event where he is ripping the fbi and then at the event trying to say look, i have got your back though. watch. it s a shame what s happened with the fbi. but, we re going to rebuild the fbi. it will be bigger and better than ever. but i it is very sad when you look at those documents. when you look at what s gone on with the fbi and with the justifiable department. people are very, very angry. with me as your president, america s police will have a true friend. more loyal than anyone else can be. the president of the united states has your back 100 percent. i will fight for you. and i will never ever let you down, ever. pete: well, a lot of people have pointed out, you can hold both to be true. in fact, both can reinforce each other by cleaning out the swamp of leadership that looks politicized. you are empowering the rank
take a listen. it s a shame what s happened with the fbi. but, we re going to rebuild the fbi. it will be bigger and better than ever. it s very sad when you look at those documents. when you look at what s gone on with the fbi and the justice department, people are very, very angry. with me as your president, america s police will have a true friend. more loyal than anyone else can be. the president of the united states has your back 100 percent. i will fight for you and i will never ever let you down ever. ed: right there he is talking to the folks who are going to be the new fbi agents coming up. we will be on the front lines of fighting whether it s organized crime, dealing with all kinds of crime all across the united states. not just these kind of high profile investigations in washington. you can just split it out and say look i m behind the
supposed to do. why does he seem to be preemptively recuse could you seeing himself and the justifiable department from looking in obvious aspects where political bias could have been, may have been used and worth looking at. take bruce ohr and his wife again he not only met with fusion gps before the election but again after the election. for what reason? ed: peter strzok with the text messages. he gets reassigned. where do they put him? in h.r. at the fbi. he is teaching other people what to do? pete: jason chaffetz had pretty strong opinion on the future of the attorney general. take a listen. it pains me to say this a little bit but i don t think the attorney general is up to the job that he is doing. he is absent from this. the reason there is a special counsel is because he had to recuse himself from everything. and i just, my own personal opinion, i think it s time for the attorney general to go. because you need leadership there, some deep says sim mick problems there. rachel
