the russians and he should have put that out there. >> jon: the statement that director comey quoted was was e you come at goal, meeting the investigation into former national security of director general flynn. in brad's view, that is obstruction of justice, is it? it >> it is not. he's feeling sorry for a decorated general who he felt was through enough. the president was talking sympathetically about the general, he wasn't directing comey to do anything. when comey left, he didn't do anything. when he did was he went and coupled with his senior staff to cut out the attorney general and when he was fired, he leaked about it. comey is no choir boy or eagle scout like you want somebody to believe. that's clear. >> i sympathize with brad because this was a very difficult case for them defend.
