>> its given comey a week to lawyer up. he has to. he has problems on his memos and i think as happens with all investigations, once they start looking into what the memos whats classified, theyll look at trailing emails and i think comey has got a lot more trouble than he ever expected because of what he did with the leaks and frankly with the fact that he put this book out, which i think has a number of passages in it which exposes him to legal problems. >> bill: wow. lawyer up. well wait and ...

Was just, what, last week, the week before, that the president pardoned scooter libby, convicted of lying in a case about leaking, the identity of an undercover cia officer. the other argument the president is making is that michael flynn, his former and fired national security advisers is being treated unfairly relative to that of james comey. heres the tweet on that front. the president says, so general michael flynns life can be totally destroyed while shady james comey, the spelling error is...

No one doubts strzok was going to the motions and the clinton investigation. judicial watch has sued for the documents. strzoks name is all over them. no one would suggest that the fbi investigation was anything other than a sham, given comeys decision to not want to prosecute her. its not a conspiracy theory to review government texts where mr. strzok is talking about having an insurance policy in case president trump won. early on in the year, he and lisa page are concerned about having the fb...
