Could lend credence to the hyped up russia collusion investigation. trump however interjects saying there were never prostitutes. comey lied and said the fbi is keeping a close hold on that dossier so there would be no excuse for it to expose his story. so let me make it real simple. clapper tells comey to meet with the president, to alert him about the prostitutes, which is a pretext to create a news hook so that cnn can leak the story about the prostitutes. but once comey is fired, he decides ...

Thats not there. i dont know it helped his credibility. >> ashley, whats your take, do you think the memos bolstered comeys stature across the board or is yamiche right? >> i dont know. thats a good question. my understanding, im not a legal expert, those memos written extelemunmporaneously c used as something happened and they would be very valuable to robert mueller and his team of investigators. the memos do bolster his account of what did happen. hes sort of been very consistent in that, wha...

If there was intent to specifically leak, that is an issue and heres my beef with this entire situation. the american people want washington to govern was right now we are chasing our tails carrying about all these intricacies about 9 million investigations going on that i cant even keep up with and so the best thing for all of these investigations, whether it is into russian interference into our election or the inspector general democrats and republicans alike, lets take politics out of the si...

Acknowledging to him that he knew that flynn had what he called judgment issues. and so there were a lot of uneven things. obviously the first few months of this administration were incredibly rocky here, and i think whats interesting, you know, obviously republicans are trying to, a lot of people think, create this pretext for perhaps getting rid of rosenstein, perhaps firing mueller eventually by demanding a lot of documents over the last couple weeks. they wanted to see these comey memos, and...

Done as a pretext to leak that to. one of the things i james comey says in his first memo is that, yes, james comey asked him to do it. he was doing it because he believed cnn wanted to run the story and they were waiting for an excuse to do it. its very interesting that the excuse they chose was not james comey briefed donald trump, a very interesting coincidence, combined with what you mention, which is that the house permanent select committee on intelligence had findings that james clapper g...

Colleagues, and then we all come on here and were all talking about what we read in the memos. it is better for your audience to be able to read for themselves and come up with their own independent judgment. you read through what are seven memos that are an interesting read, that some people might be able to focus in on one aspect or another. some for entertainment, others for just getting factual background on important points. but i just think it is great that all of of this information is ou...

James comey which the justice department say remain confidential material in the investigation. jerry nadler says if house republicans refuse any accommodation short of the department of justice handing over custody of these documents, which it cannot do, i fear the majority will have manufactured an excuse to hold the deputy attorney general in contempt of congress, if they succeed in tarnishing the deputy attorney general perhaps they will have given president trump the pretext he has sought t...

That they think is helpful to the president. but thats not most of the republican members of the house? >> no, its not. look, im not convinced, lawrence, i know weve both become pretty cynical and i think rightly so about the republican caucus in the house. but i do think they have given, the house -- the house intelligence committee, at least the republicans on it, have given donald trump a talking point already, which you saw him employ at the press conference, theres been no conclusion, it wa...

The republican chairman of the judiciary committee is demanding that deputy attorney general rod rosenstein turn over memos written by former fbi director james comey which the justice department say remain confidential material in the investigation. jerry nadler says if house republicans refuse any accommodation short of the department of justice handing over custody of these documents, which it cannot do, i fear the majority will have manufactured an excuse to hold the deputy attorney general ...

Become pretty cynical and i think rightly so about the republican caucus in the house. but i do think they have given, the house -- the house intelligence committee, at least the republicans on it, have given donald trump a talking point already, which you saw him employ at the press conference, theres been no conclusion, it was founded by the house intelligence committee. when there was no such finding. there was a finding by the republican members of the house intelligence committee. i think t...
