well, the justice department had directed this week the inspector general, the independent watchdog to review this sort of thing to see if proper steps were taken. they asked them and the inspector general of the justice department will do a review to determine whether this was a properly done investigation with the subpoena to congress or members of congress and whether the collection of data from the media organizations was also properly done, and we re also pushing sources to tell us about what people at the top of the justice department knew. our sources are saying bill barr, attorney general from 2019 to 2020, he doesn t recall, the congressional subpoena was before his time. jeff sessions that would have been attorney general in 2018, that he was not involved. we know he was recused from the russian investigation broadly, so if these were part of the ....
Involved in the details has he said this didn t happen? he doesn t recall. which is also peculiar in and of itself given the magnitude of an event like this. i don t recall. staggering drunk, that s credible. i get it. like she said, they were staggering drunk. again, maybe he doesn t recall. maybe it didn t happen at all. it s possible. these are the things that you have to explore in an investigative proceeding that actually attempts to figure out what happened. it s a political proceeding. yes, they re trying to find out the facts but ultimately those senators will have to make a political decision. the underlying facts have to play some role in the political it s tough. if you re ted cruz who, in some ways, is in a tough re-election battle in texas, how do you play this? are you playing this for the base, who likely believe that this is some sort of political ....
A phone call he met with a russian agalarov, and he can t remember who that phone call was with this blocked number. you don t know if whether or not this might have been your father, donald trump jr. s answer is i don t know. i don t know there. this idea of the blocked number is something we first saw before about the democrats resurfacing today. yeah, it is, and this has come up before obviously, john, but here s who would know that, the fbi and those investigators because they can simply pull those phone records and see if, in fact, who if he was talking to, donald trump, his father or who he was talking to. there is this time gap here that is interesting, and that seems to have been a focus of some of the members of the committee and certainly a lot of questions have been asked about that and how is it that he doesn t recall, but you know, this is something that we know the ....
The president asked if james comey can lay off, in effect, michael cohen, the investigation. his answer on that was he said, i don t recall, he said, and he said this a number of times, whether any request was made. but he also said the president never asked me to do anything remotely improper, i believe. now, those two sentences by definition are inconsistent. he doesn t recall, but he can assure us he was not asked to do anything improper. he was pressed by that on senator chris murphy just a short time ago, and he said, well, listen, if he had asked me to do something inappropriate, i would have remembered it. now, we know that senator dan coats, also a trump appointee, he has told colleagues that the president did ask him if comey would lay off michael flynn. this presents for pompeo two possibilities. either he does not remember the president asking the director of the fbi to lay off a national securities adviser who was under ....
John dowd, who has a lot of respect among the lawyers in washington, d.c. argued against the interview. other lawyers on the team argued in favor of it. for those of us who have been in the business a long time, it is a very, very, maybe three or four very, dangerous situation for any person to be in when you re in the crosshairs of the prosecutor to talk to that prosecutor. certainly skilled prosecutors and fbi agents. they may ask him about a loan from deutche bank 20 years ago, give contradictory answers today from what he said under oath that he doesn t recall and you have a potential charge of misleading or lying. mars i know you re harris: you re giving a what-if example so we understand it on your level. don t you give the president and his team credit to know if you don t know something at that moment you say you don t know it at that moment? we have had a crises of misrememberings all over the place in the history of government. simply saying i don t know that ....
