ed is known for his charity. [laughter] but getting to the heart of it, ultimately the president says, you know, keep the documents, maybe i should get involved. is this something where the white house needs to intervene with the doj or the fbi? alan dershowitz thinks she should do it, the president is thinks he should do it, the president is flirting with the idea. i think openness, transparency is the best friend the president has. let the chips fall. and the fact that congress has been stonewalled time and time again, this is frightening to me because if you have a branch of government that has the constitutional responsibility of oversight and they re being stonewalled by another branch of government, that is the constitutional crisis. i m not hearing that, but i m telling you, you cannot have a threefold functioning government of three equal branches if one of the branches is thumbing its nose at the other and saying i m not giving you the docks even though i m documents eve
this, the how and the why the individual was able to steal this aircraft and go ahead and do what he did. so that s what the fbi was brought in. obviously nstb, faa are all doing that as well. but those two questions will help determine what his motive was and how he facilitated it. witness interviews, family interviews, as well as the evidence response team out at the crash site to recover the black boxes and then ams the forensic analysis of all of his electronic devices, social media scrub to see what was that motivating factor to go ahead and do this, this act. chad, you know, authorities are saying that he was fully credentialed hean had access to the cargo area, that he used the tractor to place the plane on the runway and no security violations occurred. he had access. clearly he was doing the wrong things but he looked like he was doing things that were okay. yeah, but all measures he was
listen. let s hear those engines now. the president tweeting after the visit, quote, quite a scene, great people who truly love our country. what a scene it was. thank you, pete. investigator looking into how an airline worker stole an empty plane from seattle-tacoma airport, flying in loops and upside down as air force fighter jets tried to stop him. former fbi special agent chad jenkins is here to weigh in. great to have you here. good morning, ed. how are you? now that we ve had 24 hours or so to make a little more sense about something that truly was unbelievable when it first started break in the middle of the night friday into saturday, what s your take in where we are in figuring out exactly what happened? yeah. we still don t have a ton of information, ed. so the information right now is the lead agency to determine basically two questions off of
prosecutors who are overzealous will look for anything to try to help stitch together an obstruction case and the president shouldn t be playing into the hands of mueller in his attempt to do that. because that would be a violation of civil liberties. you re absolutely right. transparency is good for all americans. civil liberties are good for all americans but the president shouldn t be playing into the hands of mueller by helping him stitch together even a phony obstruction case. what i always love, you take the politics out saying every single person in the country should be concerned with the way things are handled. it matily it s the job of the fbi and the doj. when you look at the handling of hillary clinton and the e-mail investigations and the early days of russia and that investigation, was there a different treatment? that s what the president talks about. tom fitton said these were handled very differently. that s why i called for, from day one, a neutral objective
the president has made it clear how he feels about jeff sessions. but tom itton, you talked to him early on the show, he had been over this from the beginning saying that the doj is an ethical mez and they must answer to congress. the doj and the fbi were an ethical mess under obama. trump was victimized, hil hillay was protected. all of this info is coming out. congress needs to get the people in public to answer for these outrageous allegation allegatiot suggest ethical misconduct and criminal misconduct. fitton in this case is suing to get the text messages that andrew mccabe, the number two under james comey at the fbi, text messages he may have been sending to other officials at the fbi and what not that we ve never seen. the fbi trying to tell judicial watch and others those are not public documents even though it was on we believe andrew mccabe s work phone.
