okay we re talking about all in what i m. i m sorry i believe that s called a punt i don t know much about sports but i believe that s a punt. no anderson, anderson look this is not some smoking gun. that s as his honest opinion which lord knows if he hasn t said it to the russian. his honest is that the former director is a nut job and that this relieves some of the pressure on the russia stuff? that s his honest opinion no doubt that s his honest been opinion do you think naes smart for a guy under investigation saying that. yes i do i ll tell you why i think it s smart remember this statement from president obama. tell vladimir i ll be more flexible after the election quote unquote. to the russian prime minister caught upon a hot mic that is what you call collusion with the russians. vladimir for you a we know was flexible with barack obama to help him be re-elected was there a call for special prosecutor? is there a call for him sno none. was there investigation by th
people in the intelligence community fbi and cia and elsewhere. and he needs those people. he needs them to give him information. he needs them to tell him when he is wrong. and at this point many of them don t believe a word that comes out of the white house just like many in the public don t believe it. and and they re coming to people like us. i know a lot of people say these are just people with axes to grind leaking. they re not political appointees career people but what they are are people who aren t particularly partisan. they re not pushing an agenda in in case. these are people seeing things they think are wrong and are horrified by them they realize internally there is no way to top it they re doing the last resort coming to the press trying to playbook it public hoping that will stop it. maggie taking a step back how significant is this considering everything that happened over the past week. we re grading on the news curve unfortunately with a lot of because there is
i mean i know you got to bring up obama every time got to bring up be else. with us us can t really defend it null a fairness you can t defend what the president of the united states just said. i don t care. i don t care what he says to the russian to the russians. i mean. okay. he is the president of the united states. if he wants to say that, barack obama wants to say whatever if george bush says i looked in his whos and thought he was say it. i don t know what he would do that you would not defend i mean you re a loyal guy. i think that s speaks well of you. anderson. this is a offend willing eastern elite media sense abilities right here in america they ll think yeah the fbi director was a nut job and worse. he is not wrong some people do think that i got a lot of reader merl from supporter of trump said that s absolutely true. i lot go. thank you maggie. i also got emails from long-term republican officials in washington who have worked with senators and so for
the pattern here is the president goes to comey, the fbi director and says i need your loyalty. and comey refuses to give it to him. and according to these reports, comey the president pressures him to let the flynn investigation go. what does the president do, he can t get comey to drop it so he fires comey. and we know hear him tell the russians openly he s a nut job. the clear implications was i have political pressure coming on me about these investigations. it s something i don t want, and i fired the son of a gun. it was something i had to do. and we find out new pieces on the puzholech it s very disturbing. we should point out the dinner, which i believe the night the day sally yates went to the white house and said flynn could be compmized and
michael flynn mount up, the answer to that question more and more is, boy, what else does he know and know? and by the way, it s quite possible i don t have any particular insight into the fbi investigation. it s quite possible he s a target of that investigation. if that is possible or certainly if that is true, there s no way congress should grant him immunity. and as you know, anderson, immunity is grant granted when a proffer is made and congress gets comfortable there s a big fish out there to be gotten. obviously, this raises some very serious questions here. but, no, at this point unless there s a good reason to grant him immunity, it s unlikely it would happen. congressman himes, i appreciate your time. thank you very much. one has to wonder what s the mood like in the air force one right now.
