Quote, you are hereby terminated. it never made sense that such a momentous tiegs such as firing the head of the fbi would be made by each of these three parties on a single day, particularly where there was no new information contained in the deputy ags memo. it was premised on facts known since last july. that this was really about the russian probe was made clear by the presidents letter to comey, specifically where he wrote these words. quote, while i greatly appreciate you informing me on t...

The fbi. there may be redoubled efforts, because theres a lot of support for comey among employees to push ahead with the investigation, and may not be much disruption. but the senate intelligence committee investigation is the only one at this point that hasnt been plagued or effected by some politically rocked scandal in the last few weeks or months. as you mention, the house intelligence committee had that whole episode where nunez made allegations of unmasking of names. theyre regrouping, th...

Updated for 21st century. target still dnc, but burglary now contracted to russia instead of wire taps. hacks. i think when it is an enemy state trying to meddle in our election, it is different, more serious, more outrageous than republicans and democrats doing battle and one of them going way over the line. i am not excusing watergate. i am saying as i said last week, used to be that partisanship ended at our borders and we need to get back to that point in time. president trump mentioned th...

Move on already. >> well, i dont know if they have nothing to show for it. we know theyre in the midst of an investigation. they arent going to make that kind of information public until they wrap up that investigation, make sure the evidence that theyre seeing, if they are seeing anything, is actually substantiated. we know mr. comey was going to get additional resources, thats what he was asking for. and shortly thereafter was fired which is why this is so troubling. we have an investigation t...

Trump with comey, but hasnt gotten to the point theyre willing to throw in the towel, get new leadership and take it out of command at doj. >> matthew, limited for time, is there a name on your tongue? >> tray dowdy, incredibly partisan, congressman, led the benghazi investigation in the house. you hear all kinds of things. some of this are saying go for somebody partisan, law enforcement background, and some saying go to somebody that protects your interest and will be loyal. >> dell. one name....

Discussions were having now. what does this mean about comeys firing we had a few weeks ago, what did it mean about nunezs leadership because these other things distract from the purpose of that probe. >> matthew, in the times you report that days before the firing comey asked for more resources for the russian probe. do you think the net of all this wll be redoubling of efforts by the fbi in pursuit of this investigation? >> you know, it is hard to say whats going to happen. in the short tem, t...

The rs are on one side and ds on the other with regard to this investigation? >> well, it doesnt look good now, but we have to move beyond that. this is to me about russia, about a foreign government that we know was engaged in unprecedented way in our election. that should be troubling to every american, goes to our core values and the most fundamental aspect of the american democracy, which is our election process. this is not about partisanship. this is the time for folks to stand up and say ...

Theres no good time to do it, by the way. >> in the letter you say i accepted the recommendation. you already accepted the recommendation. >> i was already going to fire him. >> my hunch is the firing will have unintended consequence, redoubling of the fbi to piece together the russian investigation, and scrutiny of whoever is nominated to be comeys successor should ensure he or she will not be a patsy for the president. but will it harm the president with those that put him in office? i have do...

The fbi has to clear a very high bar. they have to have a track record of being independent, nonpartisan. a record of exhibiting integrity in everything they do and true professional. i dont think the american people should expect anything else. they should not receive anything else. as congress, we should demand those are the types of nominees that will be put forward. >> senator gary peters, thank you so much for being here. >> thank you. >> keep the tweets and facebook comments coming. heres ...
