i hate to have the entire fbi painted without broadbrush and we know that this small inter-circle made up their own rules and do things their own way and broke the rules. very welll established rules. mark: just to go to that, we all know that it s a crime to lie to the fbi and michael flynn supposedly do that and he would have been looking at several years in jail if they decided to go and prosecute for that. now mccabe did it three times as often as michael flynn. do you think there is any serious chance he ll be going to jail? i think the referral by the inspector general is a very serious thing. it s ironic that thehe potential charge would be 18 usc, u.s. code 1,001, lying to the fbi, that is what flynn and papadopoulos and others have been charged with. it s ironic he s basing those very same charges times three.
special counsel to target president trump, that is mr. comey s legacy. and andrew mccabe is his legacy. peter strzok is his legacy. lisa page is his legacy. this is the culture of corruption that james comey quickly set up when he was appointed by barack obama to run from a leader leadership position in rome the fbi. mark: let me ask chris a c question about that. you have been very strong on this idea that basically, here we have, and county court terms, the policeman usurping the role of theol county attorney when he absolved hillary clinton for many prosecutable wrongdoing. he s not the prosecutor, he s the investigator. why didn t president obama actually fire him as fbi director for that? that is a good question. this system is set up to have a filter between the investigators and a prosecution. that s a very sound system.
investigation. but there are still questions surrounding both the cohen and mueller probes. a democratic strategist and president of new heights communications joins us. as we were talking about earlier, the fbi is actually the issue here. if i am being told by rosenstein that i wasn t the target of the investigation, i would laugh and say, no, you got that right, it s you guys who are the target now, it s about corruption at the department of justice and the fbi. no? no. i would say that this shows that rod rosenstein is no fool. he sees the long trail of people ahead of him who dared to go into the morass of potentially criminal activity that surrounds the president, whether you are mueller, whether you are comey before that, whether you are. behar and sally yates, who ve gotten fired every single day
director, that it wasut significant. again, we don t have any direct evidence that any of this was true, as you say, that s in the dossier. mark: nothing more anchored on this. thanks for that.ha we ll be right back with more on this breaking news about the comey memos. that is next on tucker carlson tonight. stay with us.
could be charged with lying at least three times under oath to fbi officials and investigators. extraordinary development, doesn t look good for mr. mccabe, mr. comey, and frankly mr. so we nan, who was handed this investigation by mccabe and his team. mark: chris, you broached today that you are pretty embarrassed about the state of your old agency and what it has come to. i mean, this is the fbi is not the issue. nobody cares about russia, it s all gone away, it s actually the conduct of the highest figures but is not the issue story. mark: mark, it is not the fbi. this is what my op-ed was about. it was about not equating the fbi come with a men and women of the fbi with comey and mccabe, peter strzok, page, a very smaln aberration. comey was only director for a short time.
