many of these procedures and rules. they ve been terribly concerned, you heard hillary clinton blaming her defeat on comey. that said, there is tremendous distress because they believe, now, that this does jeopardize the investigation. and the fact that you ve got both senators warner and the republican chairman of intelligence, senator s comments were so teresting, this further confuses an already challenging investigation. they re acknowledging that the senate intelligence committee already had a really hard job ahead of him. and they were relying on comey to back them up. they don t have professional prosecutors. there s been a lot of criticism quietly and openly that the senate intelligence committee staff was very good at going up the torture report and going through documents. dedicated full time staff. but they are not trained to
do a spy investigation. right. to go and find, you know, the source of it and all of that those on the torture report, those were full time investigators, people who were assigned just to that investigator. it s all people who have other responsibilities. they haven t hired up. they haven t done it. so the power here is in the fbi. absolutely. i m told at headquarters today, tonight, agents are very loyal to comey, despite all of his errors and other criticism of him. they re devastated by this. and that there s going to be a huge morale problem there and people are asking, what is recusal mean. you just asked that question. the fact that the new acting director of the fbi was also involved in briefing reince priebus inappropriately about a new york times report. helping them manage public relations and the press around this story. yeah. and what does the fbi what does attorney general s recusal
