He can express any views he was. Wants. The big mistake was not recusing himself. When he tweeted he would make sure trump doesnt become president and has an insurance policy, he could not be fair and just. By not recusing himself, he violated his position of trust. I would not go too far and blame it on the top authorities of the fbi. They didnt know. When they did know, they demoted him and took him out of the investigation.

Tucker dont those texts suggest why he didnt recuse himself . Its one thing to express a political opinion. Do i it for a leaving. Living. He was suggesting that his opinions would drive the crimmial investigation that he was conducting. Thats subversion of justice. Thats the issue.

russia collusion conspiracy theory that ishe completely overwhelmed with the workings of government. increasingly, though, that meeting looks like it may have been a set up design for me outside to sabotage the trump campaign. lee smith has looked carefully at this and he has a brand-new piece out on it today which you should read, it is fascinating. he joins us tonight. you took a very close look at this meeting. what did you conclude? thanks, tucker, for having me on. one of the most important thingi to look at, there is one key to it, and that is the russian lawyer that is supposed to be the test of the proof of collusion. this was t a client of glenn simpson. glenn simpson was the person who was responsible for producing the clinton-funded dossier. how does this happen, how did this combination happened, how are all these? people in the sae room? i think that is the essential point that has been a lighted orb skewered almost all the time in the press, i think that once,
