Mccabe oversaw the clinton e-mail -- the server e-mail probe. and so he believes thats one reason. but also, don, he told me in the interview that he believes because he could be a witness in robert muellers probe in the firing of the former fbi director james comey, he believes that is a big reason why he is being targeted, why he is being turned into a political punching bag. now, i asked him -- because as you know the inspector general is supposed to be non-partisan. the i.g. worked under bot...

Whatever it is, will all come out eventually? >> well, i do think the truth eventually comes out in american politics. and im looking forward to seeing what mccabe has to say. and i dont want to prejudge the matter. what i have said time and again is mueller is one of the most trusted people in washington. he used to be a republican. he was trusted by republican administrations. what is sad is seeing people, for personal gain, tarnish his reputation, tarnish the reputation of career officers who...

Mccabe is someone who seems to support and co-rob rate the actions of james comey, the former fbi director who also was fired. what do you make of those who see this, targeting a key witness in this greater investigation thats at hand? >> well, its quite clear, i think mr. mccabe was going to cooberate. he could have supported the comey line of obstruction of justice. theres a schism that created a conflict between the white house and foreign communities. if you recall, during the 2016, theres a...

Who has gone through graduate school training and economics. what do you say to them about the guy that president trump has appointed to this administration? >> that fundamentally misapprehends what the job is. its a process job primarily, ensuring that you have the right polishes presented to the president. weve had plenty of folks occupy that position who have not been academic economists, certainly, in previous administrations. the question is, does the president trust this person to provide ...

Congress passed last year almost unanimously would be untellable. as nick was saying whats striking about this administration is the two-track version here. youve got an administration by nikki haley, previously by rex tillerson that you would imagine most administrations to say, given the circumstances, democrat or republican. then you have the president of the united states who doesnt. who has made a very steadfast point of not criticizing vladimir putin or holding russia accountable, in his p...

Democratic administrations. this is not someone who had any apparent trump bias. >> i agree. micha michael horwitz has a reputation for thoroughness. mccabe disputes whether mccabe was candid but horwitz judged otherwise. my push back to ruth, i take her point, has to do with the timing of this, notwithstanding when his retirement was. its 100% clear this was driven by the white house for the petty reason of stripping him of his pension. thats wrong. thats not the way its supposed to work. >> i ...
