into hillary clinton s e-mails. of course, mccabe would have been there, as a deputy at the same time james comey was the head of the fbi at that time. and what wray makes clear in the letter is that there is some details that he discussed, possibly with mccabe, and then he says he wants to keep that investigation independent, and then in the exact next paragraph, he says, mccabe stepped down. so we re connecting these two thoughts together that they re in the same letter, although he doesn t explicitly say, and that is why mccabe left. this makes it pretty clear and we have a lot of reporting around this as well that suggests that that investigation is a big reason why mccabe made the decision he did yesterday. you say big reason. is that the only reason he s doing this early? can we say it has nothing at all to do with donald trump, pressuring him on twitter, donald trump pressuring him in interviews. donald trump, i don t know, carroll lee talking about this in her reporting, call
supposedly show as rosenstein in a bad light. how do you not see this as a deliberate purge of everybody who the president doesn t like or who could potentially threaten the president in a russian investigation? katy, i know you and i see the world differently. and this is one of those cases where we re just, you know, men are from mars and women are from venus. we don t call out mr. rosenstein at all i m sorry, hold on. you think we see the world differently? i just laid out a number of facts. is it well, let me respond to them. because we clearly do see the world and look, people can say, look at things and claim facts or claim their interpretation of facts. but day clearly have different views no, this is donald trump saying to nbc s lester holt that he fired comey because of the russia thing. it s donald trump saying on twitter that he doesn t like andrew mccabe and that he thinks he s a partisan and his wife was a democrat and calling his wife a loser for not winni
is the reason they haven t fired him is because they couldn t come up with one? you look at it, a dispute over golf club fees. is the reason trump can t fire him, because he can t find a strong enough case that there s conflict of interest? i think he got good legal advice from his lawyer. another example of the people around him stopping him from his impetuous fits of pique that would hurt him and the country. to add to that list, what he told lester hold, what he admitted to lester hold. also add to that list the impromptu press conference where he said, am i not allowed to fight back? in his words, it s fighting back to a prosecutor that looked like i m not allowed to obstruct. bob, i will see you tonight. you won t see me but i ll see you because i will be tuned in. all right. coming up, senator elizabeth warren launches a new battle against president trump and this time she s got bipartisan support. but first, president trump now says he backs a path to citizenship for nearly
yorker, trump makes fun of pence behind his back to people all the time. mocking him, belittling him. so it s a it was a smart move, i think, donald trump, picking pence. he did a good job for him on the campaign and he s kind of doing a kind of, i guess, adequate job as v.p. right now, but these sorts of scenes just diminish him when he does that sort of sycophancy. stay with me. when we come right back, vice president pence made a surprise trip to the troops in the war zone instead of the president himself. is that unusual? the wish house. people visit national parks from all over the world. food tastes better when you don t have to cook it. he was just supposed to be my dog. i don t know why. (vo) we re proud that, on behalf of our owners, the subaru share the love event will have donated over one hundred fifteen million dollars in just ten years. get 0% financing for 63 months on select models. plus we ll donate $250 to charity.
who would praise someone every 12 seconds. sycophant. do you agree with that, bill? yes. especially when that person s your boss. i mean, what s ironic, of course, is the vice president pence is uniquely positioned not to have to do that. trump can t fire him. he could, i suppose, not ask him to be on the ticket again in three years, but pence in a way, if he had any, i don t know, something, would not have to bend over backwards as much as you can understand staffpeople who want to stay good with trump, good for the country by saying his good graces, it s still difficult. pence, the degree of sycophantsy by vice president pence and the clips you just played are really shocking. i mean, he could just say something like we, you know, mr. president, under your leadership, we ve accomplished this, we, the cabinet, around this table. instead, it s you, you, you, personal will ye personal. yeah. why s he doing it? why s he doing it?
