that hearing will take place after the committee has videotaped the testimony of pat cipollone. cipollone, think, is the trump white house s top lawyer. he s a man who, at least as far as we know, appears to have pushed back on some of the most dangerous and brazen ideas conceived of by the ex-president and his closest allies as they worked to overturn the results of the 2020 election. cipollone also held the same job as john dean whose legendary 1973 testimony was a turningpoint in the watergate investigation. here is what january 6 investigator john wood had to say right here on msnbc about the tremendous significance of the committee getting an interview with cipollone. it was really important that he would eventually end up testifying before the committee and on the record and videotaped so the american people can see it. i m glad that is coming together this friday so hopefully the committee will show some of the key clips of that interview during a hearing next week.
president and russia right after the comey firing. a couple of thoughts about this, andrea. first of all, this is not the first time we heard about this. remember the new york times heard about this this fall and then decided not to. what we were told at the time was if he went down to the white house and resigned it would look like he was doing something wrong and secondly, president s tweet, he says they were caught doing this will remember this was mccabe s disclosure and so no one was caught by some third party. the other point is when we first asked about this last fall, we were told we talked to some people in the room and their recollection of this was different than mr. mccabe s. what they say is, yes, rosenstein did it sarcastically, like, what do you want me to do, andy? wear a wire? mccabe thinks it was serious enough to go talk to the fbi general counsel.
let s see if president trump resigns and if not, confront him with that prediction.es he said i guarantee you, i guarantee you that president trump will resign after hearing what rudy giuliani said. it s total nonsense. tucker: we have invited him many times and so far this is the only show he won t do. well, have him on with me. tucker: any time, i would like that. thank you very much. in the wake of our reporting last week the white house announced it is pursuing a revocation of security clearances for john brennan and other former intelligence officials. not only is the president looking to take away brennan s security clearance, and he s also looking into the clearances of clapper, hayden, rice, comey and mccabe.s he is exploring and monetizing
in other words, he was making decisions based on the fact that he thought she was going to win, and he wanted a job. slimeball, exclamation point. abby: the big question in comey comey s badly reviewed book aren t answered like how come he gave up classified information, jail, why did he lie to congress jail, why did the d.n.c. refuse to give server to the f.b.i., why did they take it, why the phony memories, mccabe s 700,000 and more. griff: here to react, fox news s chief national correspondent ed henry. good morning. ed: good morning. abby: ed, you are no slimeball in our e.es ed: i wanted to be there in new york, but i was tired of winning against pete. abby: relax those muscles. pete: he s going after comey hard this morning. ed: yeah. remember when i was on the couch with the three of you on easter sunday and i predicted to you from sources inside the government they were telling me that james comey s book tour was going to be interrupted by something very important. inspector g
hannity: greg jaret, a lot of questions legally tonight. the i.g. has no prosecutorial powers. none. that gets into the issue of what tillis and cornyn and graham and grassley were rightly calling for which we have both called for and then i want you to address the wrong law that was used by the attorney general and his recusal. first of all, mccabe s in a load of trouble and james comey s in even bigger trouble. for mccabe, he s looking at making a false and misleading statement punishable by up to five years behind bars, and for every false statement, it s an additional crime. second, obstruction of justice it follows along the same line. if he s not telling the truth, in an investigation, he s obstructing it. that s obstructing of justice. for every time he does it, it s yet another crime. james comey, you can multiply it by 10. hannity: talk about rod rosenstein.
