certainly if theresa may does lose this election and indeed jeremy corbyn wins this election, then certainly, president trump will have lost an ally here in europe. you re absolutely right, there was somewhat of a trump factor also in this election as well, especially with that twitter spat between the mayor of london and president trump shortly after the terror attacks took place. there are certainly a lot of people here in britain that didn t take that very well, criticism coming from president trump. they felt theresa may was quite weak, defending the mayor of london. jeremy corbyn was very strong in coming out against be president trump. very interesting to see, and certainly could shift the balance of power here as far as the u.s. is concerned as well. and twitter causing trouble for foreign leaders as well, frederick. reporter: fred, are you there? i think we lost fred. we ll get back to him. but again, going down to the
order to, in mr. comey s words, quote, prompt the appointment of a special counsel. we will leave it to the appropriate authorities to determine whether these leaks should be investigated along with all of the others that are being investigated. so jim, the question is should the leak be investigated. he actually got the timeline wrong detailing the trump-comey detail at trump s command for loyalty appeared on may 11, the day before the tweet but the first new york times story that cited the memo not just sources it appeared on march 16th so he got the timeline wrong. do you think that should be investigated? i agree with my three colleagues. i don t think this is a legal problem recommend for him but
really throw four groups of people under the bus. first, he threw loretta lynch and the obama administration under the bus and called into question the political motivations of the justice department during the obama administration. clearly, the name calling towards the president of the united states, he threw the president under the bus. he threw the media under the bus. i don t know whether he actually used the term fake news or not, but he really called into question and accused the media of a lot of sloppy journalism. and fourth, he threw james comey under the bus. this is a guy that was supposedly a strong individual. he was unable to stand up to loretta lynch. he didn t stand up to president trump. and then when the rubber hit the road here, at the end when he got fired, he said, i m going to take my notes, i m going to give them to my former law professor, and i m going to have them turn over this material to the new york times. this is stuff that he the
wire. theresa may may not be able to hold on to her seat as prime minister. it s still not decided yet. but again, we ll bring that you to. breaking news right back here at home, james comey sending shock waves across capitol hill. telling a senate panel president trump lies. joining me now is congressman jim hims, a connecticut democrat a member of the house intelligence committee, and former congressman pete hock stra, a republican former chairman of the intelligence committee. good evening to both of you. thank you both for coming on. what s your reaction to the former fbi director s testimony today? well, a lot of these revelations, of course, it started yesterday with the release of his testimony, were pretty shocking. when you have a situation where jim comey is saying one thing and the president is saying, no, he s lying, you ve got a really profound he said/she said. the conversation has shifted away from what happened with russia to, is he liable to being charged with obst
