talked about at length but at the end of the day, this director of the fbi was not a leader. he politicized a portion of government that should not be. he served at the pleasure of the president. he had a 10-year term. that term ended today and it was his own undoing. he had to go back to congress today to clarify again testimony he gave. an absent director. that is his problem. it >> sean: we are not even talking about very important failures under his time. the boston marathon bombers. they...

July of 2016 and announced they would be no prosecution of hillary clinton, the clinton email server investigation was 14 months old. after "the new york times" broke it in march of 2015. think how much evidence about hillary clintons conduct in the server case, including the memo where she ask someone to send her something classified nonsecure was in the public domain by the time mr. comey announced the decision. almost a year into the legend of russian collusion case, how little information th...

And protecting and focusing on what is exactly the wrong issue here? >> you have had a flawed investigation from the outset and thats because the fbi director did not direct. you have to started from scratc scratch. you have to get new fbi agents in a new division involved in this. you have to point within the agency, lawyers with the agency as well as investigators that are going to review all of the evidence on all of these issues. as if it did not happen before. yet this -- you have to start ...

Statute. >> although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. >> comey told senators he would do it all over again, including the decision to reopen the clinton email case 11 days before the election. >> i stared at speak and conceal. speaking would be really bad. there is an election. concealing in my view would be catastrophic. not just to the fbi but well b...

Political figure in modern american history. he acts on a whim. thats why the statements from the press secretary at 2:00 can never be relevant at 5:00. he makes decisions very quickly on his gut, and i would say with this move, he played some political jujitsu. for regular americans not in washington and not following every single light of our james comey and sally yates, they know james comey is a guy who cost hillary clinton the election. that is how hes defined. i think trump smartly knew th...

Investigation. i am not totally shocked. i knew there had been voices within the fbi, friends and associates of mine outside the fbi who have been critical of how far the doctor went last year in july. some of his comments. and they agreed with rosensteins assessment that the director went too far. but i will tell you, having worked with jim comey, he has the heart of a boy scout. he has a moral compass. i think jim comey has slept well with the decisions hes made. i think we heard some of his j...

Substance since so many of them didnt like comey. trump suggested he ought to be fired a long time ago. the second thing is that he views it as a basis for calling for an independent prosecutor, which has been their mantra. they are all saying it. theres a handful of republican senators misgivings. richard burr of north carolina. this firestorm may involve republicans as well as democrats, in which case the travel for the trump administration is likely to be prolonged. >> bret: we have seen a fe...

Sides, republicans and democrats in the house and senate. most important, he lost the confidence of the american people. >> the presidents attitude toward comey has been a roller coaster. last july, he was incensed at comeys decision not press charges against hillary clinton. >> today is the best evidence after that weve seen that our system is absolutely totally rigged. its rigged. >> after comey reopened the investigation in late october, president trump did an about-face. >> it took guts for ...
