Draw Mccabe News Today

Who told him about flynn. hes mocking jeff sessions his attorney general for recusing himself from the investigation. hes fired comey. hes undermined his intelligence communitys assessment of the russian influence in the campaign and -- right, all along hes undermining the investigation. so to me, the fact that theyre having this conversation is actually not that shocking. we are just forgetting what it was like in those months, and to have a president like that, you know, with the scope and the...

Doesnt have a good grip on reality at times. >> juliette, i mean, is talk of invoking the 25th amendment or wearing a wire to record a conversation with the president a serious thing? absolutely! ill answer it for you. while they dont agree on how these conversations took place, both agree none of it went anywhere. is there anything illegal about this? >> no. and theyll disagree about the tone. certainly nothing illegal about the 25th amendment. the constitution envisioned its own out clause for...

Planning illegal acts. why? because according to former acting director an draw mccabe, he and rod rosenstein seriously discussed wearing a wire to record the president and invoking the 25th amendment to remove him from office. >> discussion of the 25th amendment was simply rod raised the issue and discussed it with me in the context of thinking about how many other cabinet officials might support such an effort. the deputy attorney general offered to wear a wire into the white house. he said, i...

Would say bring it on. lindsey graham is not going do it because he has no idea what motivated either man to act that way. its going to be something not complimentary to the president of the united states. i think this is all graham doing his bidding for donald trump. we have a tendency to think of people as good or bad. you know, one side or the other. i think this is a perfect example as james was saying, in which motivations are really odd in these cases. mccabe, rosenstein, comey, all of the...

Is getting a lot of attention in the public and on capitol hill. lindsey graham is making it clear he is not done with this when it comes to the 25th amendment and the whole concept of wearing a wire. let me play you what he said yesterday. >> the whole point of congress existing is to provide oversight to the executive branch so i promise your viewers the following -- that we will have a hearing about whos telling the truth, what actually happened. >> will you subpoena mccabe and rosenstein to ...

We know bill barr picked will rosen the transportation secretary to serve as his deputy, his number two at doj. also, no word tonight from rosenstein on mccabes interview. but the justice departments statements on his behalf consistently tried to focus on what rosenstein did or didnt do as opposed to what might have been discussed. one source telling me when rosenstein wearing the wire, the idea of that came up it was just due to sarcasm, but mccabe adamant on "60 minutes" it was no laughing mat...

When i go into the white house. i could easily wear a recording device. they wouldnt know it was there. he was not joking. he was absolutely serious. in fact he brought it up in the next meeting we had. i never actually considered taking him up on the offer. >> he says rosenstein brought it up not once but twice. rosenstein through the justice department deny it by saying the deputy attorney general never authorized any recording that mr. mccabe references. >> can they both be right? >> i think ...

>> well, you know, i dont know. we dont know what was actually said. its all hearsay we are getting trying to piece this back together. i can only imagine that heres a man whos never been at the level of deputy attorney general, whos never appointed a special counsel before, and if he did in fact want to talk to comey, hes got a more seasoned partner to sort of the bounce it around with. mccabe was right, though, and obviously rosenstein didnt do it and that was wise not too because it would hav...

Criminal charges and has a history. >> john, let me play you something else mccabe said in this interview, that when considering whether or not to appoint the special counsel, rosenstein wanted to get advice from jim comey about it. listen. >> he raised the issue with me twice, and ultimately i told him that i wasnt comfortable connecting him with jim comey, that i didnt think jim should weigh in on these things. >> why not? >> because he was no longer a member of the government and it would hav...

Full action, says the president on twitter this morning. to be clear, mccabe and rosenstein might disagree on what and how was discussed but they definitely agree they did not act on anything. even so, the president today seems to be taking his cues from a conservative ally in fox news, quoting him with this -- this was an illegal coup attempt on the president of the united states. to which the president writes, true. laura, rosen too inis already on his way out the door in a sense of the word a...
