the very latest with what s going on at the supreme court today. high, david. hi, martha. john roberts has ordered a full scale investigation by the marshall of the court. the mission may be accomplished to find the leaker or leakers. with kaw duel respect to the marshall of the court, the marshall of the supreme court is not experienced in well-versed specifically in finding leakers, especially when it deals to something this high profile and this much technology potentially. however, there s been growing calls from both sides of the isle to get the fbi and the department of justice involved. at this point the fbi and doj are not involved. the reason there s no classified information in the paper that was released. they said it s impossible to overstate the earthquake this will cause in the court and this leak is the gravest, most unforgiveable sin.
comey is behind closed doors answering questions from house lawmakers, gowdy, goodlatte, ratcliffe and others. here is jonathan turley, sound bite four that comey is a leaker himself and i ll ask you a question after this. the one i would ask and drill down on is his leaking of those memos after he left the f.b.i. he was tasked with finding leakers, and the minute it became something to his advantage he became a leaker. bill: that appears to be turley s main question. what is yours? look, i think the real question. you had this a few minutes ago from trey gowdy. the entire thought process by which the director of the f.b.i., who is supposed to be the nation s top law enforcement figure in terms of criminal law, what was his decision process both with hillary clinton and with donald trump? you have this guy who i think was rendering judgments that
