really bothered them. and there is another little subl thing about t sub thing about the timing. you will t all the memos were dated yesterday. it all came together in a matter of hours, whereas it took 18 days to on fired mike flynn. so that is the timing just doesn t pass the straight face test in terms of what is the real motivation for this. the other piece is the complaints about comey were plig, that he he once testified that he has a political tin ear. he s not very good at politics. but he is a man of real integrity, an experienced prosecutor. and investigator. and, you know, so that is a problem. the final piece is you asked what do we do, we have to have a special prosecutor. there is no public confidence in this process now on the fbi side. remember, there is a senate
intelligence committee investigation, that is a separate issue. we ll talk about that in a minute. but there has to be a special prosecutor or special counsel in order to restore some confidence in this. i just don t understand this decision. instead of settling anything, it absolutely raises suspicions in virtually everybody s minds. and if you understand it through that lens, this is something he wanted to do, the timing is obviously just you one indication of how obvious the move was. but we ll see what happens next. you just put up an alternative there that requires some discussion. special prosecutor, special couns counsel. the audience will be getting its feet up on all of this. those are two very different things. special counsel would be someone who is appointed by the doj and has some degree of independence. but they ain t no special prosecute toward. that was designed by statute, it was born during the watergate era to deal with some of the confusions that we have right
important at the end. even if the republicans and democrats come together and pass legislation to have a special prosecutor, the president would have the ability to veto and you would have to overcome that. these are hard times. senator, appreciate you being with us. there are so many questions today facing the white house after the firing of james comey. why now, what does this mean for the russia investigation? so we have our panel of experts standing by all morning. they will help us break down the huge story.
