washington, d.c., on capitol hill pushing the dossier together with his partner james clapper. that will come out. sean: thank you all for being with us. so much more to get to. sarah, thank you. tom, thank you all for joining us tonight. devon as is with us. good to see you again, thanks for being with us. let s first get your take on the firings of the deputy fbi director andrew mccabe in the statement of the attorney general. as you know we had the fbi under investigation by our committee for a long time. the fisa abuse and other matters, so it doesn t surprise me that mr. mccabe went. however, our investigation is still ongoing. mr. mccabe still owes us answers no matter where he s working and eventually he s going to have to come forward and provide those answers. sean: one of the things he s going to have to fight the answers, but i really see he even seem to in his statement implicate james comey. did you catch that as well, that
mcauliffe who also was under investigation? how many lies, how many leaks and comey knew it all and much more! president is 100% right. if the media had their way, mccabe, an accused liar and potential lawbreaker, would still have the number two job at the fbi. most fbi people i know don t want him to have that job. the media does not care about the facts like mccabe s wife, jill. she got over $700,000, an obscene amount of campaign money from clinton bff terry mcauliffe and another democratic group for a failed virginia state senate run. mccabe eventually ended up recusing himself from the clinton email investigation because of all of this, but only one week before the election in 2016. then there s the fact according to the wall street journal mccabe waited a month to notify congress that thousands of emails were found on anthony weiner s laptop. mccabe, he is totally shady
the door and we are also learning tonight that just like james comey, mccabe had memose of his interactions with president trump and the memos, they just reeked of desperation. remember susan rice, james comey, they all kept memos. in rice s case, two weeks after a meeting with obama, comey, others, she emails herself just minutes after donald trumpin becomes the president. oh, obama says do everything by the book.. president obama says do everything by the book. the only reason rice was doing that, that was a cya. president trump reacted to all of this news about mccabe blasting the corrupt media s coverage. he wrote on twitter, the fake news is beside themselves that mccabe was caught, called out and fired. how many hundreds of thousands of dollars were given to mccabe s wife in a campaign by crooked hillary friend terry mcauliffe who also was under investigation? how many lies, how many leaks
making a false statement, by that reasoning, shouldn t mccabe? sean: make sense, right? mccabe has obviously lawyered up at this point and he s going to need a good defense lawyer because it s not just those three, but he also signed off on the dossier, in violation of the law, because the dossier wasn t verified by the fbi. mccabe and comey both knew it. sean: look at these new text messages between strzok and page, the fbi love birds what s fascinating about this, if got them strzok was also working on the exoneration with comey before the investigation, but this is really scary, the exchange that we talk about on friday night as they talk about rudolph contreras. he is a fisa court judge. he s a fisa court judge and from looking at these textrt messages, he s actually good friends with peter strzok. they are discussing in these text messages how best to talk with him, how best to meet up with him so it doesn t raise any red flags, so that he doesn t have to recuse himself.
fbi rules to set the record straight on behalf of the bureau to the make clear that we are continuing an investigation that people in doj opposed. the oig investigation focused on information i chose to share with a reporter through my reporting officer and legal counsel. as deputy director i was one of only a few people who had the authority to do that. it was not a secret. it tack place over several days, and others including the director were aware of the interaction with the reporter. it was the type of exchange with the media that the deputy director oversees several times per week. in fact, it was the same type of work that i continued to do under director ray at his request. the investigation subsequently focus on who i taulked to, wheni talked to them and so forth. during those inquiries i answered questions and truthfully and as accurately as
