want to subpoena memos from james comey. james comey felt it was important to document some of these conversations he had with president trump. this one in particular, i m told through my source, a person fam with the matter that he was appalled by the fact that he believed the way he perceived it was pluresident trump asking hi to end the probe into the former national security advisor, so he helps that for ethical, legal reasons, it was important to document this. he apparently shared it with close associates, with senior people in the fbi. the question remains outside of that, who knew? did the department of justice know, who at the department of justice might know? andy mccabe testified last week on capitol hill and said that there is no indication that the white house has tried to interfere in the russia investigation.
to know from him or about him. we don t know what he s trying to offer. it seems like a way for him and attorney to get out ahead of it. but it just seems like both committees, schiff and that they re right. joan, finish your thought and then michael after that. you know, i have a somewhat different perspective here whichcy want to know what they re waiting for. you know, here we are several months into this at this point. we haven t seen a single subpoena from the senate committee which is going to be an issue. are the republicans going to go along with subpoenas? we have no fact witnesses who have been notified for testimony yet. and, you know, i don t know what they think they re going to get by methodically going through and getting security clearance forms and other materials. i mean, i think the bar here is, you know, people there s a
himself. it could be his name, you know, was in the information that he saw. it is just it was wrong from the beginning. it shouldn t have happened this way. but now he s got to take him out out of it or thels part of the investigation, the house really plays no role which is a shame. adam schiff is doing an amazing job. michael? well, look, i agree with what everybody said here. but i think except that i think at the end of the day flynn is going to have to get immunity. there s no way the senate or the house if they proceed are going to be able to produce the kind of public report that everybody is expecting without mike flynn s testimony. he s such a central witness. he was the campaign national security adviser. if there were communications with anybody in the russian government during that during that campaign, he s the guy most likely to know what they were
is not the kind of people that you wish to associate with. you, me, anybody. but there really is an anger in this country and there is a sense of isolation in this country. you think the political establishment didn t want to believe that the support was out there for him. i believe that. i believe that. and i believe that the journalists of your generation as opposed to mine which goes back 50 years. we were very different in my time as journalists as compared to the ones today because we were much more aware of the low basic, sometimes despicable character of our country because many of us came out of a rough and tumble or down-and-out life. we journalists of the post-war period, of which i am a part. i started in 1953, 54. we were of the under class. you don t identify exactly the same way reporters can be so cozy. i want to read this.
obamacare is a disaster. it s a march 7 tweet that is trying to achieve an outcome. not just an insult but an outcome. it didn t work, david. that whatas a brief moment h having to use twitter. i think at the core here is there is no core. what does trump really care about? does he have any ideas about health care policy? i mean, you have to choose. can you go free market all the way and get rid of obama care and just let people fend for themselves in a revitalized private system which i don t think is the answer. or do you come up with something else? he has no ideas. even when tax reform, you know, all he s been able to say is it s going to be great and wonderful. he doesn t have core principles on the issues. but in a pejorative way. the freedom caulk yes, sir people and rand paul.
