Investigation he was worried about it accelerating that investigation. we heard this issue of loyalty brought up with nikki haley, the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. listen to what she says. i any when you take the job you automatically assume that you work for the president and you re part of a time and loyalty is a big thing. as a former governor i can tell you loyalty and trust is everything when you re a ceo. i can totally understand why he s looking for loyalty and trust. loyalty to the constitution first, correct? of course. what do you make of that? well that s not accurate. obviously the president wants people to be loyal to them. but the head of a law enforcement agency is going to be loyal both to the constitution and to the law. and that should be what a president actually wants. a president should not want an fbi director who is blindly loyal. they want someone who will go wherever the facts take them. that s what traditionally has ....
Interrue with the economist. he was asked whether he would release his returns in exchange for democratic support for tracks reform. and the president said he would never consider this as part of a deal. but he suggested at some point he d release them saying he did a good job with them. you know, environmentalists have been worried since president trump took office. but they got a rare win in the senate this week with the help of a few republicans who crossed party lines on a procedural vote. the senate defeated an attempt to roll back a plan to contain methane emissions. several environmental groups put out statements praising this vote. let s dig deeper into the story, there s no way you hissed, the firing of fbi director james comey. joining me, a man who says president trump thinks he can get away with anything. cnn political analyst julian sell zar. what makes you think that? we ve seen a number of ....

Rank and file in the fbi about director comey s press conferences during the presidential campaign on the hillary e-mail investigation? the feedback i was getting was that the fbi agents, when we went forward with the proposed press conference, felt that the fbi doesn t get involved in political situations. so either he was going to announce a prosecution or there was something else going on. i think they were kind of confused by the fact that he went on to state the issues he had in the case. he discussed the case publicly but then said he wasn t going to prosecute. i believe that from what i ve heard the agents felt that there was sufficient evidence to prosecute and i think that was the only confusion that the agents had. why would he go on and have a press conference if he wasn t going to prosecute. ....
