Confirmed 14 days ago, assessed the situation and determined that comey should be replaced. democrats who had recently praiseds integrity, could not question the man, only the timing. >> the first question the administration has to answer is why now. if the administration had objections to the way director comey handled the clinton investigation, they have those objections the minute the president got into office. but they didnt fire him then. why did it happen today? >> exactly when comeys tenu...

Tonight, but its the timing, obviously thats more in question tonight then the why. spewing democrats putting out all kinds of statements. chuck schumer saying "senators need to be seated at something tomorrow morning." >> democrats are united they want a special prosecutor. i think they are going to bang the drum on this for weeks if not months. the republican statements are more interesting for you dont have anyone defending call me. what you do have those questions about the timing. richard b...
