with hillary clinton, it was a range of things. there was the e-mail server issue and the constant being around the approval by u.s. officials of a uranium deal. officials with the company had given money to the clinton foundation. there s never been any evidence of impropriety. this has continued to be a thread that her critics have tried to poke. that was one of the areas. again, i think this went dark after he was warned against it. but it is a reminder that when donald trump wants to go ahead with something, he will keep going until there is some kind of cattle prod that shocks him. in this case, it appears to be his own future. don mcgahn taking evasive as you put it, that cattle product. don mcgahn wrote a memo making clear the parameters and also what could happen if you
this was the bring of 2018. he d been in office a long time and learned about what it meant to be president. do you know what he wanted to prosecute them for? i think a range of things. in the case of comey, i believe it would have been about handling of information when he was the fbi director in the case with hillary clinton, it was a range of things. there was the e-mail server issue and the constant being around the approval by u.s. officials of a deal. officials with the company had given money to the clinton foundation. there s never been any evidence of impropriety. this has continued to be a thread that her critics have tried to poke. that was one of the areas. again, i think this went dark after he was warned against it. but it is a reminder that when donald trump wants to go ahead with something, he will keep
so i have no reason, really, to believe that there was any preconceived notion or that they were out to get anybody in that case. i just think that neil: a lot of your colleagues think that if by raising the e-mail server issue so close to the election congress woman, comey did reveal that and did compromise that. if he was so intent on doing that, he would also be just as zealous to release information on the russian thing if it was available to him and he didn t do that. well, we know clearly he handled the two differently. he called a press conference and clearly gave information about the investigation on secretary clinton. neil: so do you think he favored donald trump because republicans say quite the opposite. you say what? did not make mention of president trump and any russian investigation that may have been borne on that. no, i do not believe the a.g.
bring up hillary clinton again and again chrks is the boogy man for the republican party. frank, let me ask about this information we learned this week, which is that the fbi has been looking into the clinton foundation once again. there s attempts to revive investigations of the e-mail server, and as i mentioned earlier, the deal. if they are investigating hillary clinton, it doesn t take a genius to see why. it s not because there s some new evidence that s come to light. it s because they are being badgered by. the white house to do it. these cracks that we are seeing in the independence of the justice department ought to concern every american. so these are issues that have been investigated in the past. certainly the e-mail server issue. the clinton foundation has been looked to in the past. are you concerned that those in the fbi are being used for political purposes and they are becoming part of a larger
learned from this campaign. and as long as they are blaming external factors, they re not really doing the analysis that s going to help them move forward, because those factors will not be the same. and some of them were very unique to hillary clinton. certainly, the e-mail server issue, they believe the media overcovered it. you had an fbi investigation into a sitting candidate, it was a a running candidate. you had a situation with that e-mail server that is entirely self-inflicted by hillary clinton and whether the media magnified that or not to, it was certainly a factor for the entirety of the election and, in fact, even before she ran. so i don t it s not just the way that i think about this. some of the sources that my co-author, amie parnes, and i talked to said they felt hillary clinton was not being very reflective about this. elizabeth: right. and here s a woman who s been in the public eye even before arkansas. jonathan, thank you so much. of course, for our viewers,
