corey, good to see you. thanks for having me. arthel: over the weekend had you rush limbaugh saying to mr. trump, not so fast, not so fast. so i ask you, corey, is it too soon for president trump to claim vindication? i think this is a very positive step in the right direction for the president. what attorney assistant attorney general rod rosenstein said there was no collusion between the trump campaign. it doesn t look like the russians materially impacted the outcome of this election. but the most important component of what he outlined was that the russians attempted to interfere, starting in may of 2014. which is 15 months before donald trump ever became a candidate. so this motion that there was some type of collusion, cooperation, or coordination between the trump campaign and i was there from the very beginning and anybody to impact the outcome of this election is a complete fallacy. that s the most important thing. look, your report was absolutely accurate.
does the president have a point here? well, the president has a very important point. the point is that the previous administration, the obama administration under jim comey s lack of leadership at the fbi should have been doing something about this because if they were informed back in may of 2014 now, don t forget, donald trump came down that beautiful escalator in june of 2015, so, 13 months later, but what we now know, according to the indictment from rod rosenstein with a was after 13 months to donald trump even getting into the race, the russians were trying to do something to materially change the outcome of our election. where is the accountability from james comey and barack obama s administration that they should have been doing something about this? rachel: corey, i have another question for you. very early on, since the beginning of the muriel investigation. the democrats have been saying oh, donald trump is going to fire him. donald trump is going to interfere with thi

to cut your throat. here it could be the guy that i pass in the corridor that s going to sign the paper that sends me away for life. bergdahl was captured in 2009 after leaving base in afghanistan, taliban eventually freed him may of 2014 as part of controversial prisoner exchange with five taliban fighters who were being detained at guantanamo bay. three soldiers suffered life-changing injuries. retired green beret led the special forces team that conducted that search. soldiers were injured, soldiers were killed directly in the search and what s more typical to prove indirectly, how many were harmed because they didn t get as fast as they should have because it was dedicated to look for him. bergdahl s defense attorneys may argue concerns about comments that president trump made as candidate trump
with all of it. arthel: colonel mitch utterback, always a pleasure. thanks very much. thanks, arthel. eric meanwhile, sergeant bowe bergdahl is speaking out for the first time since pleading guilty to desertion. bergdahl says his taliban captors were, in his view, more honest with him than our own u.s. army has been since his release, he said. he also said he never knew where he stood with the army while he was performing desk duty during his trial. bergdahl was captured in 2009 after he walked off his base in afghanistan. the taliban held him until may of 2014, then they freed him as part of that very controversial prisoner exchange for those five top taliban officials. the idaho native faces the possibility of life in prison when he is sentenced tomorrow. arthel: secretary of state rex tillerson is in saudi arabia today pushing for an alliance between longtime rivals the saudis and iraq. why the u.s. thinks this will be
