i think this is why the question of obstruction is what his intent was. if he thought there was terrible conduct, racial discrimination, or he just didn t like comey, okay, right? i think we would all agree on that. but here i think the real question is going beyond that, did he do it because he intended to stop an investigation into his campaign? we re opening up constitutional the president is a unique constitutional officer. he s the only person other than the vice president who is elected by all of the people in the country, and the second thing is that he has the authority as the executive branch and as the chief executive to, in effect, remove all these people. you say you think he can be charged. he can remove the attorney general. he can remove the special counsel. he can remove every let s leave it here because i have to go. at the end of the day i think it ends up being moot and here s why. i don t expect that the special counsel is going to indict the president. i
unknown. how did they go? the ig said, here are the texts. you didn t find them. it was an internal investigation. the fbi said to you, the doj said to you, rather, the texts aren t just missing for these two. they are missing for one of every ten phones. you ignored it because it was inconvenient. they find the texts. they have come out and they show 100 different things that lead us to nowhere. ignoring facts for your own convenience to make people say the president of the united states, rich, do you respect the fbi? i don t know. we will have to see. very disturbing. the president of the united states is not an automatic answer of yes? that predated the texts. a law and order party of the gop. no disrespect to the democrats. who protects blue? who has law enforcement s back? one, on the secret society and the missing texts, it shows, don t jump to conclusions.
fired, the conversations with comey. we had a series of conversations in pieces but they all generally related to sort of this first piece. now i think we see more of a pattern of an interest in really trying to stop the investigation. mueller still would need to prove corruptly intends, persuades is. intent is in someone s head. but the more pieces you have, the easier it becomes for a proper to prove what someone s intent is. i do think it s an important piece of evidence. and, again, to me, this obstruction question will be a series of different facts. it s not going to be there is no one smoking gun, but there are a number of pieces that i think come together to make me believe that mueller is making a case or pulling together evidence that goes in this exact direction, is this is an important piece of that if the witnesses are confirming what we ve seen publicly reported. do you smell what the professor is cooking or now? respectfully yes and no. i think it s important to un
they shouldn t have said that. there are other issues. do you think we should let it go that way? there are other issues. struck was reassigned. he was taken off the investigation. there were consequences. it s not as though james comey said, this is fine, we have this going on. i think there was a private relationship between the two. i think there were complicating factors. he got moved. i think we did see on the other hand i will say, that there seemed to be bias within the fbi, some people say within the new york office, against hillary clinton, that did tie james comey s hands and did force him into that late october 28th revelation. you have to root it out. people have opinions. we have always known this. the idea that the fbi sets up as a lefty organization i find hard to believe with my dealings with the fbi. that s neither here nor there. if we look at the context, secret society, one text, those guys went crazy. they learned the context. they were embarrassed. the missi
i guarantee you he wants it out. he could read it on the floor of congress if he is he wants to go through the process. it s an odd thing to hear about him. do you think republicans should say what lowery is saying about the efforts to tar the fbi? the fbi in general is an important organization and we should support it. i don t think the president of the united states should be calling out and criticizing specific fbi agents by name. that s just wrong. but there are legitimate questions about how this investigation started, about top agents on the investigation having a political bias. let s see as much evidence as possible. facts first. less feels, that s what the kids say. it s good to have you. thanks to both of you. stick around, we have more. what is the final fact on a friday night? next. at was awful. why are you so good at this? had a coach in high school. really helped me up my game. i had a coach. math.
