Reporter we do know that something that President Trump had been considering, what were being told by Senior Administration officials the Deputy Attorney general was confirmed two weeks ago, he had time to look over james comeys turn your, and we have seen the letters which are essentially an indictment of the handling of Hillary Clintons emails. They said they no longer had faith in comeys ability to lead the department, they took this recommendation and he drafted this letter. But theres questions about the timing of this, why this is all happening now, its information that President Trump has celebrated in the past, but its serge not new information. The letter that the president sent to former fbi director comby. Can you explain what it cede said . Reporter i want to read you the portion that i think is
particularly confusing in President Trumps letter to comey, in this hes dismissing him. He said that while i greatly appreciate you informing me on three separate occasions that i a
we re not investigating you, that could change tomorrow. anybody who is a prosecutor knows that that s the case. by the way, even if trump is not being investigated, you are telling me, look at all look how bad they look because of their poor judgment with general flynn, who talked about locking up hillary clinton and who was playing footsey with vladimir putin. you are telling me who were colluding with the russians that he wouldn t look awful and there wouldn t be serious blow back? this is outrageous. this leads me to believe everything you say is true. they knew they knew what the repercussions would be. this leads me to believe, this is donald trump. this is donald trump who wanted to do this. another reason to believe that is no, no, they re blaming it on rod rosenstein. he was chosen because he had a great reputation.
