Investigation of flynn. but heres what president trump has said. >> did you at any time urge former fbi director james comey in any way, shape or form to close or to back down the investigation into michael flynn? and also as you look back -- >> no, no. next question. >> back with me, susan, sort this for me. i know all those who hate trump tonight are on comeys side, all those who love trump are on trumps side. everyone is divided before we hear the facts tomorrow and onward. tell me, how are y...

Richard nixon. >> there are two people the president is concerned about here. for some reason, general flynn -- >> always. >> -- always reminding comey, cant you tell people publicly that im really not the person you are looking at here? and, of course, comey couldnt do that because things change and there were different investigations going on and maybe he wasnt the subject of a counterintelligence investigation but maybe something else. so the president, you can just sense his frustration. thi...

And storied career with the head of the fbi. a u.s. senator, i imagine is going to ask for his opinion. did he engage in obstruction of justi justice? i really think thats going to deflate what people were wanting comey to do to trump tomorrow. was your may 3rd testimony accurate? hey, we dont think on russia. hes got a couple of tricky questions to answer himself. comeys got a few sticky ones tomorrow. >> do you think hell say i cant answer that question or ill take the fifth on that? >> i woul...

Justice. thats a smart move for the former fbi director because as we have been telling you, he was never going to say that. want to know why? take a look at the side of your screen. my friend and colleague pointed out, if comey thought trump did anything wrong back in january, he would have broken those two laws because he had a legal obligation to come forward and tell people. and on may 3rd? james comey also said it never happened. he would be contradicting himself. earlier today, president t...

President himself does a lot of tweeting? >> i dont anderson. if there is anyone built for the type of explosive testimony thats going to happen on thursday, its james comey. since his time as deputy attorney general and forward, no one is going to doubt the veracity of his comments. no one is going to doubt his more rectitude, no one will doubt he took extraneous notes. no one will doubt that. >> he did say something that was inaccurate the last time, correct it. >> he did and, anderson, the fb...

Head of the investigation anymore. im going to leave that up to the people who are investigating. >> sure, but this guy has a long and storied career in the fbi, a justice department official thats been involved in some major stuff. a u.s. senator i imagine is going to ask him, in your professional opinion, which probably matters more than just about anybody else in the country, did he engage in obstruction of justice. if he wont answer that or isnt able to say yes, i really think thats going to...

Soros. unnamed sources run the world now. he wrote a memo to self back in january. people interpreted that oh, my gosh, donald trump was obstructing justice and dont go further with general flynn. he testified may 3rd. and he said in may, no one tried to do this to me. there is code four. and if he knew the president was trying to obstruct justice. doesnt that mean he committed a felony? >> yes, according to the sources in law enforcement, he would be required report that. >> sean: required back...

Headline, again, not sourced, unnamed sources around the world now, sara. he said he wrote a letter to himself back in january. people interpreted that as oh, my gosh, donald trump was obstructing justice and saying dont invest and go further with him. may 3rd, about 4 and a half months go by. he said in may, no one ever tried to do this to me. there is 18 u.s. code 4. if you knew someone was trying to obstruct justice, doesnt that mean he committed a felony? >> yes, according to the sources i h...

A different direction at this time and let people like mow go out and defend him. just remember this, if comey thought there was obstruction he should have said something back in february. he had another chance may 3rd when he directly asked by a senate panel. he said no. then his mccabe said theres been no attempt to slow down the investigation. i think whats going to happen is this is going to be very anti-climatic. theyre going to get in their licks. its going to -- theyre going to sbar aroun...

>> sandra: what would be the most important question asked? >> jason: i want to know where those documents are. the oversight committee, which im tearing right now, we want to see the other memos. we have asked for the other documents if mr. comey had regularly done this, what about ledbetter lynch? what about all these other meetings? if he is going to produce memos about one specific meeting, then we would like to see all of them. i think we need to ask director comey why is it that you testif...
