Page 981 - Conclusions News Today

American people are not smart enough to figure it out, and they are. the american people dont have time to read every day but they draw their own conclusions. >> harris: when they do draw their own conclusions, what do you see the outcome is? >> number one, in russia did try to influence on our election and we know that. number two, did they influence our election? i think so and i dont know how anyone could prove that they did. the real issue is, was there illegal collusion? and lets wrap this ...

Two chairman, trey gowdy and bob goodlatte. but lets begin with catherine heritage at the justice department tonight. lots to digest. >> the 500 page reports that it was 17 months in the macon addresses allegations of political bias and found that loretta lynn showed bad just dont make a judgment and fbi director james comey was insubordinate. >> no charges are appropriate in this case. >> when fbi director james comey gave his statement, the inspector general found comey went outside the chain ...

>> thats a fair concern here. if youre bob mueller, you have to view james comey as a tainted witness. if you say im going to rely on something that james comey told me, i think all americans by this point are going to take that with multiple grains of salt. so if youre bob mueller, you have to make sure that in whatever conclusions you draw based on your investigation, that you have independent evidence to support it and not going on james comey. >> neil: james comey was deemed to be insubordin...

Further, changes have to be made. i will complement director ray on some of the personnel changes that have been made, there are some sobering lessons learned from this. we need to see changes made so that in 2,020 we dont see another presidential campaign handled like this. >> bret: so when you hear republicans and people that have been looking into this and say, this 568 pages, there is just not a lot they are, or that horowitz left something on the table, how do you respond? >> this is a very...

A partisan side. its about maximum promotion. >> ill say this going back to the whole i.g. report. i think what was troubling today is -- one of the reasons that we saw donald trump rise and win is the american people are losing faith and trust in their institution. im not sure the i.g. report encouraged me to have faith and trust in the doj -- >> neil: is that something that republicans will found? this institutions can be trusted. >> we have to have reform. trump has an opportunity to do a lot...

Getting coming to us from bloomberg just put out. again, this is a more than 500-page report. one of the key things people were looking at, what would it say about james comey? according to this excerpt it says this. while we did not find that these decisions meaning the decisions about how to handle a probe into hillary clinton were the result of political bias on comeys part we nevertheless concluded that apart from department norms the decisions negatively impacted the perception of the fbi a...

Adhered to established norms which they see as mandating both deference to the attorney general on the public announcement, and silence about an investigation so close to an election. i do not agree with all of the inspector generals conclusions, but i respect the work of his office and salute its professionalism. ken, he was clearly ready for this ig report. >> he was. and he is clearly being magnanimous and taking the criticism in stride, as is the james comey way. in contrast to some other pu...

This review. the conclusions are reasonable although i disagree with some. i pray no director faces it again. thanks to the igs people for hard work. one of the things that it criticizes comey for in particular was insubordination, for taking the lead on going out to the public to talk about hillary clintons e-mails when in fact that according to this report was really the attorney generals domain. >> right. so the director reports essentially to the department of justice.it should be the attorn...

I just look forward to the hearing and there is speculation that there are recent bombshells that i dont know so i cant draw any conclusions. >> what we are about to see is major theater. and its on the part of the trump administration, cronys and fans to again use deception seeking to discredit the special counsel. its part of a concerted and coordinated campaign to undermine the credibility of the special counsel before the report is issued here the report will have nothing to do with special ...

Complicated investigation conducted over a long period of time under the most difficult of political circumstances and you write a 560-page report detailing every aspect of it, you are likely to find a bunch of things that werent done in the best way possible or in some cases were not done well at all. and in some cases where you just disagree with the judgments that were made. so you see all of those in different aspects of this report. that said, at the end of the day, what the report does not...
