heard from the president that talks about press is the enemy of the people, that constantly villifies and undermines the work that our free press does and cannot have a beneficial impact on extremists and people prone to violence. and we expect more from the greatest count raeon earth. these are comments that concern me much in the same way the president s constant villification of people in law enforcement, justice department, intelligence agencies constantly ntd mining the work they do, it doesn t make the hard and dangerous and stressful work they do any easier, doesn t make it any easier to protect america. you re somebody who s anonymous essentially a year ago. nobody knew who mccabe was outside the senior levels of department of justice. your face was not plaster
along those lines, like we ve heard from the president that talks about press is the enemy of the people, that constantly villifies and undermines the work that our free press does and cannot have a beneficial impact on extremists and epeopl prone to violence. and we expect more from the greatest count raeon earth. these are comments that concern me much in the same way the president s constant villification of people in law enforcement, justice department, intelligence agencies constantly ntd mining the work they do, it doesn t make the hard and dangerous and stressful work they do any easier, doesn t make it any easier to protect america. you re somebody who s anonymous essentially a year ago. nobody knew who mccabe was outside the senior levels of
the russia investigation, but from all matters related to any investigations stemming from the 2016 campaign or related to hillary clinton s e-mails or the clinton foundation. exactly. the basis of this action against andrew mccabe was reportedly related to investigations that pertained to hillary clinton. so how can the attorney general have taken this action? it s astounding to me. it s a bogus recusal then. the fundamental idea when you recuse at the justice department, you know, i worked on those rules, is that you have some conflict of interest. something that says you can t investigate. there is an appearance of impropriety. if you can discipline the folks who are investigating, that is effectively doing the same thing. remember who mccabe. mccabe is the deputy director of the fbi whose running part of the investigation. he is also a witness in the investigation on trump. if you ask yourself in my fair city of washington, d.c. who had the most to gain from the firing of and
federal crime, which leads to the other issues will he be prosecuted for lying to investigators the way that general flynn, who mccabe targeted, was prosecuted for lying to fbi agents? i tell you, this is a big blow to the deep state efforts to target president trump. mccabe now has been branded by the internal watchdogs of the agencies he has been a part of for 20 years as being less than candid. and that infects every investigation he has been involved with now. it infects the clinton email investigation, the russia investigation, the fisa warrants, all of that now. the flynn investigation. all of that is further compromised and there are a lot of reasons that have been compromised to date. now the top, number two guy at the fbi is a documented liar according to their internal watchdogs. and that s why he has been fired. i can imagine he is upset
grand home, and mike shields. mike, you heard the question. doesn t recall asking that question. would it be appropriate if he did ask the acting director of the fbi who he voted for? in some ways yes, in some ways no. when you have people who are senior people in your administration, i don t think there is anything wrong with trying to figure out who they are, where they stand. i think he has a good idea of where the cabinet stands. not talking about people working around the president in the white house. he probably thinks he got off easy if that s what he asked him. he could have gone a will the further what he suspected about who mccabe was and what he was doing. let s keep in mind what has not been fully flushed out.
