the media was camping at the end of my driveway, at that point. i was going out of town with my wife to hide, i word it would be like feeding c goals at the beach it was i who gave it to the media, so i asked my friend, make sure this gets out. tucker: after the testimony wrapped up, trump s attorney suggested that comey was not describing his behavior, and maybe somebody should investigate him. although mr. comey testified that he only leaked the memos in response to a tweet, the public record reveals that the new york times was quoting from those memos the day before the referenced tweet. which belies mr. comey s excuse for this unauthorized disclosure of privileged information, and appears to be entirely retaliatory. we will leave it to the appropriate authorities to determine whether these leaks should be investigated along
attorney general? why did you not go to congress? and he said, i was stunned. i did not know how to react. while, you were stoned for about an hour or two, and then you had a couple of months, and comey comes out diminished, because he did not react the way that he should have, but to me the ultimate irony is this. as you said, as he pointed out in the previous segment, the underlying charge, the reason that all of this has sort of captured the country is the charge that there was collusion with a foreign power to influence our election. there is no evidence he had to, and this has been since july of last year that that is true. and the tragedy under all of this is that trump had a human reaction to all of this. you are the head of the fbi. you have told me three times that i am not stigation for thi. you have told me privately. what trump wanted was for that to be made public so that it would tamp down all of the wild
in america for the better part of his professional career. and in the justice department and all of these jobs, if you are asked to do something that is illegal or unethical or immoral, you are your choice is to resign or carry out the order. your choices not to say, well, you i don t know what that was about. and i was quite startled to hear him say that he knew or he now suddenly is taking this to be that he was being told to dismiss the case, not just that trump was saying that he hoped that he would see the flynn case his way. and that he does it fade disobeyed the order as he understood it. you are not supposed to do that. that is insubordination. tucker: unless you are a careerist at heart. applies to a lot of people here. the thing that i ve never been able to get over is the fbi
whether hold on, and it is meaningful. we do, because all we know is that the president of the united states. tucker: here is what we know, hold on, let me finish. i ve superior knowledge here. as long as you let me finish. tucker: i shall credit the former director of the fbi said that the president was saying to him he has a good guy, one coming to drop it, by that team at the investigation into whether or not michael flynn lied about his conversation with russian officials, one where he was spied upon by u.s. intel agencies and then leaked credit was not an investigation so i let you finish, now you will let me do the same. when the president of the united states tells you that the director of fp i should stop an investigation doing fluent and dealing with the untruthful statement of michael flynn, you do not know the scope of that investigation. once he begins, it may lead to additional information. and the point of fact is it is inappropriate for the president of t
also been labeled by unnamed sources as a routine operative. what do you think of the hearing today? to be called putin, we will get his take on that in just a minute. nigel faraj joins us now. so have you spoken to vladimir putin recently? and what did you think of the hearings? no, i have not been in touch with tim for many days now. please do not take that seriously. as you say, we are living through a mccarthy style era. i think the most important take out for me is that nothing that came out today frankly lays a finger on the president at all. and i thought that he came across as somebody who was busy playing video games, leaking, i thought he came across very badly indeed. i must say, having seen the testimony, i think that trump was absolutely right to attack
