Concerned about that. its the reason bob mueller removed peter whos an excellent agent and removed him from that investigation. poor judgment and shouldnt happen. so i get the concern about it. >> your book is about leadership. throughout. does it say anything about your leadership that strok who was a very high level fbi agent was doing this? did you set in any way any tone where that kind of glib insult of a -- of a major political candidate at the time would be not that big of a deal? >> no. ...

Investigation. you find out that peter strok is texting someone about you and then you find out he helped conduct the hillary clinton interview and he called you an idiot. wouldnt you think that this is unfair and politicized? >> sure. i get that. its the reason bob mueller removed peter whos an excellent agent and removed him from that investigation. poor judgment and shouldnt happen. >> your book is about leadership. throughout. does it say anything about your leadership that strok who was a h...

He needs to do his job. >> so steve, that being said, why does the president keep attacking mueller if he is truly innocent? >> right, well, he is innocent and i disagree with that premise though from congressman gowdy as much as i admire him. in america and in any advanced law abiding country, we cant say okay, heres the investigation lets find the crime. there is no crime. theres no collusion. so we cannot empower a panel of investigators and lawyers to try to find -- and perhaps in my opinion...

Investigation into the fbi, and justice departments handling of the clinton e-mail matter. what is new on that. >> fbi agent peter strok was told an irregularity suggested a possible breach but the bureau resisted a damage assessment according to two sources with knowledge of the matter. fox news also told the inspector general is reviewing the allegations. he was part of then director comeys inner circle who helped edit the statement where comey recommended against criminal charges for clinton ...

So the gop has been saying the steele dossier cant underline any of this but the steele dossier was not what started this, according to this memo. bobby, i want to get your take. what do you make of all of this? >> well, you know, in addition to being an agent for 27 years, im also an attorney. and i was really interested in seeing what this memo was, what it looks like. quite frankly, early in my career, i did a lot of title 3 applications, wiretap applications. one of the always routine things...

But i think, clearly, the fbi has also taken that into account. and we can also be sure that any fisa application for carter page did not solely rely on one piece of information and most certainly did not rely solely upon the steele dossier. >> thats a very good point. and lets bring up, if we have, these graphics. the very first paragraph in the first page of the memo says october 21st, 2016, doj and fisa saute probable cause order electronicing surveillance electronics on carter page from the ...

Due diligence before you went in to obtain a wiretap because one of the things is its a very intrusive method. and one of the things you have to show is you exhausteded all other investigative avenues to get the evidence you need to get, and you can only get it through a wiretap. this very much reads like a motion to suppress to me as an attorney and an agent who has been involved in viwiretaps. i dont think theres anything new here. i dont think the fbi director should engage in a public debate...

So the democrats want to push back, the fbi wasnt happy about it. is the fbi going to end up coming out and saying something? we had a former fbi agent and lawyer say that christopher wray probably shouldnt. dont add fuel to the fire but whats the debate internally? >> with our understanding is this phi wont release something publicly. but there might be something internally, potentially a letter to the hill. theres certainly a lot of people who want to push back on this. >> nick, ken, ab, curt,...

Lunatic. there has highly unlikely that theres been communication between president trump and kim jong-un. and nobody would describe their relationship good. >> thanks so much for that. president trump telling the wall street journal he should be getting credit for firing james comey. he suggests many things have been found out about the former fbi director. he calls him a leaker and a liar. mr. trump says a text sent by peter strok to an fbi lawyer he was having an affair with was treasonous be...

Brother of two police officers and the son of a police officer, im offended that these attacks on our law enforcement community, its devastating for the men and women who toil away for our public safety without any evidence to be attacked in this fashion. and again, it just shows that they are willing to just scorch the fbi and law enforcement to protect the president. and thats, thats quite disappointing. >> what -- theyre pointing to is one text, several texts in fact sent by fbi agent peter s...
