in the mirror and ask themselves whether or not they played a role in this. sean: acosta took to twitter to say he s not talking about trump supporters. really? given his past outlandish anti-trump behavior, should we really believe him? here are a few of his low lights. take a look. what we are witnessing right now is this erosion of our freedoms in terms of covering r the president of the united states. that s just a strange and c unpresidential thing to do, to be throwing rolls of paper towels at people.ti the last three news conferences wolf, all the questions for american news media have handled by conservative press. and i think there is no other way to describe it but the fix is in. jim, let me ask you a question. for people to say jim, do you believe jim, jim. jim. i appreciate your speech. i think we saw the president s true colors today and i m not sure they were red,
to describe why he wrote that memo recommendation to fire james comey? i have to be honest, i find his explanation a little disingenuous, or in the best interpretation, leaves out a very significant fact. i think it s true that you can very much argue that what jim comey did in handling the clinton investigation was a firing offense. but what rosenstein didn t explain in the memo and apparently what he didn t explain in each of his briefings was whether he knew with his conversations with jeff sessions or with the president why the president was going to fire jim comey. we know the reason he was being fired was not because of the clinton e-mail case, it was because he had the russian investigation on his mind. we also don t know if rod rosenstein knew about the memos jim comey wrote or about the inappropriate conversations that president comey had with jim comey. if rod rosenstein knew either of those two things and allowed himself to be used and allowed the memo that he wrote to be
but that might change rather quickly. one of the first conversations he s going to have is with bob mueller. they ve worked together. he s going to call and ask jim comey for a briefing on the investigation. and one of the things he ll do is make a decision as to whether james comey would testify or not. apparently one of every conversation he had with the president, memos. and if bob mueller decides early on by looking at these memos and talking to jim comey that he wants to look at potential obstruction by the president or whoever else, he may not want james comey testifying because he s going to want the element of surprise or puts in a new grand jury. you ve had your hand in two explainers.
deconflict the investigations, to make sure the senate and house investigations don t do anything that would possibly interfere with his ability to eventually bring criminal charges. if we see the justice department not turn over these memos jim comey wrote and it s at mueller s request, it s because he thinks that s something he needs to look very strongly at. one of the things he i think can be unsatisfying is at the end of this investigation, bob mueller will bring charges or he won t. what we shouldn t expect is a big public report. it won t be the kind of report you see from a committee or an inspector general or a commission and that s why it is appropriate for these committees to proceed separately so they can have public testimony, reach conclusions outside of criminal
