Administrations desire to have this investigation be over with, theres no doubt that comeys removal has slowed that down. and it is a question of perception and integrity. people are saying things like the good people at the fbi and there are lots of good ones and ive worked with lots of good ones, will continue to work on this investigation regardless of who is the director. and the bottom line is, while thats true, these people also have mortgages to pay, kids to put through college, they need...

Opposite coast of the country, in los angeles, with the question, does it prevent him and the fact is, it does prevent him from getting to his papers, et cetera, under those circumstances. so thats a fair question. why while he was over there and whats the consequence of that? what can he not get to, e-mail files, et cetera. thats a fair question. and just to glorias point, i remember that day we were there, that the crowd size was the issue within hours of the president being inaugurated. i rem...

The only way to have any credibility at all in this investigation is to appoint a special counsel. and if the deputy attorney general is the kind of guy that i hear that he is, i expect that he will eventually do that. he has no other choice. >> yeah, but isnt it their entire goal, it appears they dont care about a credible investigation, if you look at whats happened with nunes and on and on and on. that doesnt seem to be the presidents goal. >> they want it over with, no question. and they wan...

Him, and it does prevent him to get to his papers, et cetera, under those circumstances. thats a fair question. why while he was over there. and whats the consequence of that. what can he not get to, e-mails, files, et cetera, thats a fair question. to glorias point. i remember when we were there that day the crowd size was the issue within hours of the president being inaugurated. i remember saying at the time, when you have a false -- when will we have a falsity of coequence? crowd size is cro...

The public to hear what comey in fact, did and if he answered the question it would be highly inappropriate of comey, it would be improper of the president, but were still not yet at the unlawful part for a criminal investigation or charge. >> michael, maybe its just a coincidence, but you know, the acting attorney general says hey, you know, your national security advisor is compromised, and then the next night you have dinner with the president of the united states? i mean, come on. >> let me ...

A way to kind of rationalize this and explain the firing. >> if you watch it today, listen, any rational person -- i mean, you understand whats going on here. it is so blatantly obvious that theyre not telling the truth. even to spin it properly. if anyone out there believes what theyre saying, ive got a bridge to sell you. but jim, this is very interesting. this is from jeff zeleny reporting. two government officials inside the headquarters today said a comey office has been cord onned off with...

Promise of personal loyalty was one of two reasons that those close to comey believe that he was dismissed. that is really stunning. because fbi directors arent supposed to be loyal to any president that they serve, right? >> thats right, but the bigger question here is one of honesty, transparency, and really a delusional view by the president of the united states of what proper conduct of the presidency is. he has been evading for months and months, attempts to learn the truth about a grave ma...

Said, he is independent, hes strong-minded and he is somebody who i think could run this investigation. but i understand that the attorney general and the deputy attorney general are already looking for replacements for this guy, and he hasnt been on the job for a full week yet. i dont understand why we cant keep someone like mccabe in his position to continue to run the investigation. if we cannot do that, the only way to have any credibility at all in this investigation is to appoint a special...

>> i dont think that it was. it was an inappropriate question for him to ask, and an inappropriate question if comey actually answered it, and thats a big if. but the real issue is the timing of it. we dont have the timing of that conversation. it matters. remember, in march is when comey came forward and said at a hearing that there actually was a criminal investigation into the trump campaign and whether it colluded with russia during the 2016 election. if that conversation that he asked that ...

Asking director comey if he was under investigation. >> i actually asked him, yes. i said, if its possible, will you let me know? am i under investigation? and he said, you are not under investigation. >> every single person who watched that interview, that part, they were struck by that, laura. it may not be illegal, i dont know, youre the legal expert. but was it ethical? >> i dont think that it was. it was an inappropriate question for him to ask, and inappropriate question if comey actually ...
