the fbi will release their own document because they objected to the release of this in the first place and they said it would be extremely damaging. there has been speculation that perhaps christopher wray will lease a statement of his own clarifying what s going on here. but i think everyone will be watching rob rosenstein now because that is said to be trumps target because he wants him removed because he s the only one that can fire bob mueller. so those of the moving pieces here. lisa: but if your president from, you have every right to be deeply concerned about all of this. a democrat opposition research piece at the heart of the russian investigation as well as likely the public narrative shaped around that. meanwhile, we also have the obama administration unmasking his team s name, making it easier for the intelligence community to share information across agencies so course, president trump is deeply concerned and then he s told they james comey three separate times is not u
