wow. fbi james baker reassigned. joining us now, ethics lawyer for george bush will talk about the pressure on mueller. but let me have you react to the tweets. andrew mccabe under pressure as he sat through hearings. mccabe is loyal public servant and he has served his country well h and f. and for him to be attacked by members of congress the way he s been attacked over the past few years is unconsciousable. what s going on is mccabe is witness to the obstruction of justice by president trump. because he was there when fbi, when he learned of the president to sware loyalty to the
implications super she h implications supercede a lot of the problems. and he also one. thanks to you as well. thank you. well, new treat from president trump attacking fbi deputy director andrew mccabe from the washington post he plans to retire. we ll have more on the story after the break. almost think of the note prior to it as being your most important note. so [singing]. if you nail that, then you re golden. i look where the rim and the net meet. put that basketball right on those hooks, and that s what i lock in on. let s talk about the equation of cooking. ingredients, and execution. the ingredients are controlled by somebody else. execution is all about you.
