That is one of the sections of the inspector general report that discusses you, and your involvement at the outset of the russia investigation. let me just ask you whether you take any issue with the way that you appear in this report and how you feel about it overall. >> im fine with their mention of me. i mean, i think this is a predijous piece of work that reflects on the inspector general and their team. there are a number of serious flaws and irregularities in the fisa process. the fbi as y...

Really credibly on the inspector general and his team. there are a number of serious flaws and irregularities in the fisa process which you talked about before. those shouldnt be poo pooed or swept under the rug. the fbi is going to embrace those and commit themselves to reforms that the department of justice will support. but on the grievances of congressional republicans that asked for this investigation, that this was a witch hunt, this was an effort to foment a cue, there could not be a more...

So-called shadow or a regular foreign policy apparatus that president trump has alleged above orchestrated as a mechanism to force ukraine to initiate investigations. in the allegation is president trump conspired to recall ambassador yovanovitch from ukraine so his agents could pursue a scheme to pressure ukraine to conduct these investigations. but there are logical flaws with these arguments. first, every ambassador interviewed acknowledged the president has an absolute right to recall ambass...

It dmou it does not surprise me at all. when ever an inspector general looks at anything and any department carefully and closely, you are going to find procedural flaws. i have never seen an ig report that says no problem here. sorry to waste your time. >> if you work in the government, it says everything right up close. >> what the ig is about, the in speck s inspect inspectorgener general. the department of justice, inspector general looked at a wholel bunch of important thin including the pr...

March 2, 01 under jeff sessions. the second investigation, the right hand side of your screen being led by connecticut u.s. attorney john durham who was hand picked by attorney general william barr in may. now, one of the key differences between the two probes that you see here, the ig report is internal limited to current government employees. the durham report on the right has subpoena powers and could theoretically include an interview anyone. we dont know when durhams findings will be made p...
