president? it s in the eye of the beholder. jason miller isn t going to believe it is but i do believe that he is somebody as a witness to this investigation, somebody who was involved directly, one on one with the president who is saying the president is lying, is lying about a bunch of things. is lying about a conversation they had about loyalty for example and when he says when he says the president is obstru obstructing justice and there is evidence of it, possibly, we know he s telling that to the investigators and the most stunning thing to me was that a question is asked about the president of the united states do you believe that he could be compromised by the russians and comey s answer is, i never thought i would say this, i never thought i would say this but it s possible and i mean, i think his word was, you know,
on one dinner we ve heard so much about where he says the president asked him for his loyalty, that he extremely unkm fortable. i expect loyalty, i need loyalty. i need loyalty. he came back and said i ll give you honesty and the president said honest loyalty. j jason miller, what is your take on that? is that an appropriate action by the president of the yiunited states? i don t think the conversation went down the waco me said. i ll tell you the reason why and i haven t discussed this with the president or anyone in the white house this supposed conversation. the simple fact that the president trump i know would never go and ask someone a question like this where they couldeasily turn around and say no. he wouldn t ask him for loyalty? i could never see president trump sitting down with someone and saying can i have your loyalty. really? yes. he asked that of all of his staff. i worked for him for seven
told the special counsel, i imagine with more detail and under oath. but describing that meeting about michael flynn, he said he felt he is asking me to drop the criminal investigation of his now former national guard adviser. based on the folks you speak to, how serious a conversation, how seriously is mueller looking into that? i think that s a very important part of what mueller is looking at as far as the obstruction of justice part of this investigation. but i think if you look at it, you also start looking at a pattern, right? you look at the other one-on-one dinner where he essentially he has already told comey the president has already told comey that he is going to stay on as fbi director. he has a tenured term after all there was no expectation he was going to leave. then he starts being transactional. but it turns into a bit of a shakedown, at least the way comey describes it. if you they d with the context of the other bleegt meeting whe
movie deal. what we saw tonight didn t feel like some hard hitting interview. this felt to me like an episode of behind the music where on one shoulder we have director comey thinking do i go this way? on the other shoulder, do i go that way? t this man deciding when he has to tell the president he s funding the dossier or the politics that played into the fact that he brought uphill hillary e-mail, has a god complex and he s the only one to decide when things are right. i know part of the intention is to turn the fire back. he put himself out there. he wrote the book. on the facts of his account of the facts of this conversation, if the president asked to let a criminal investigation go of his former national security advisor, if you, by james comey as account, would that be obstruction? he didn t. you re saying comey is lying?
president is elected when he says the president told him to let the flynn investigation go and he said he s asking me his impression is to drop the critical investigation. is that possible obstruction of justice he s referring to? i don t think. i think it is obstruction of justice. i just think there is just no other way to describe what the president was doing if comey s account of the conversation is correct. he is trying to stop an investigation of a someone in the russia investigation and particularly when you combine it with all three meetings that comey talks about, i think in and of itself it is obstruction of justice. it was a crime committed in the oval office. now, whether comey is telling
