Accounts particularly when they go right to the heart of the central question. that is, was the president putting a lot of effort into trying to restrict this investigation, and i think the evidence is just piling up that he was. >> weve seen director comeys opening statement released ahead of time today so we all have a chance to review it before he makes those remarks and faces questions tomorrow. if wt director comey says in his opening statement is true, if the president directly urged him t...

Reveal something that he thinks will be very, very harmful to him. the key question and youve asked it night after night is what is he afraid of, and what are they hiding -- the president and those around him? otherwise, we wouldnt be gng through all this. we wouldnt be having this thing with testifying tomorrow. thats the central question. what is the president afraid of? hes obviously afraid of something with this, and what are they hiding? >> well, finally comey described the final conversati...
