again. we are ticking off the people who have been interviewed but in a major investigation like this with complicated facts, it certainly wouldn t be out of the ordinary for mueller s team to go back to these people more than once, more than twice. because it really looks like mueller s investigation is heating up. last week, two indictments, a guilty plea, a lot more revelations emerging. this train is moving. the train is moving. it s heating up. i think we ll hear more things. one interview in and of itself does not tell you the whole picture. if he was involved in the deliberations around firing director comey, there are two documents already out there that are inconsistent. one is the rob rosenstein memo that lays out reasons related to hillary clinton that suggest the president lost confidence in director comey. the president sent a letter directly to director comey saying i asked you three times if i was under investigation. i didn t like the answer,
and he never wrote a memo.i think that is why james comey was fired. because he told the president three times in five occasions that he was not under investigation he failed to do so publicly. he allowed that narrative to take place where there was some conversation and collusion going on between the chum campaign and the russians. that in and of itself is obstructionism. like a set i think we can see now and appreciate more why the president was so frustrated with this guy. he was trying to communicate with him. he was trying to open dialogue, trying to figure out what his agenda was. sometimes james comey thought he was just out there. they need - it is under the department justice.it s clear he wasn t really answering to anybody. before you go congressman pete king come what you want in terms of the memos from james comey? what are you hoping to uncover? first of all, find out why he did it and also to see whether or not he had memos
served go ahead - please go ahead. if james comey was so about what the president said about general thing he should write to the attorney general sessions or hazards in the present, this is inappropriate. that s why i think this is all - hymns and somehow he thought he was being intimidated or pressured or in any way frightened. again, if you were he could have stood up and said something at the time. that was his boss. he was at the time if you really thought there was a problem he should ve gone to the bosses attorney general, the president is calling the enemies man comes in. you and i should take this call together.and let s deal with this and tell the president if we think he is crossing lines. but he said he is ready memos to be kept for what? and where was the memo of loretta lynch telling him to call it a matter? instead of an investigation. right there that is obstruction
with loretta lynch.if not how does he explain such detailed memos about president trump when actually it was one 28 word conversation we were talking about in the other hand with loretta lynch interfering with an investigation of hillary clinton. why does he have any difference there? and also all memos he did from the president and look at them from beginning to end. it is pretty extraordinary how politicized the agency has become. yes and i think james comey has never run for office but he has stepped into the political arena. i do not know he saw the warning signs when he did it. i think he really hurt himself when he leaked this memo. i think there was probably a reaction. the president hits hard. and jim, he hit him hard. i think he reacted poorly to that. and i bet he regrets leaking them out. i think it really discredits him.
and they said that there was a mistake like that he would ve been fired. early in the segment you said you don t like the fact that he said the president lied and that will have a big impact on the american people. listen to a betsy just said. the truth is, there are people uncomfortable with james comey. the president say that the fbi is in disarray, it s not that off. the reasons in the rob rosenstein memo that eventually was put out have nothing to do about it. it was donald trump s anger at being when he thought and james comey not changing the record. now he is a master manipulator in the bureaucratic process. and he leaked the memo, he gave them over to his friend who is a columbia professor.to give them to the media. this is open to major avenues of attack against him. and as one of your prior guests present, he messed up because
