The weekend by a group of fbi officials. is that someone you think you could get behind that would get bipartisan support? >> i think were really early in the process. this is moving along at a very rapid pace. id like to see who all the candidates are. their background as well as particularly i think what is important are the hearings. when the senate will be able to question those individuals and ask them pointedly about their ability to act autonomously from the president, act even from congr...

Critics? do you think theres a real possibility that he has set up a taping system? >> i think its important to note that with president trump when he was in business and when he was a candidate, people who worked for him largely assumed that their conversations with him were being taped in his new york offices. people generally worked under or that assumption. so the idea that he would be taping conversations is not out of the realm of possibility. its much different when youre talking about co...

Just trolling the media and his critics? do you think theres a real possibility that he has set up a taping system? >> i think its important to note that with president trump when he was in business and when he was a candidate, people who worked for him largely assumed that their conversations with him were being taped in his new york offices. people generally worked under or that assumption. so the idea that he would be taping conversations is not out of the realm of possibility. its much diffe...

If james comey now unfettered by requirements of leading the fbi wants to speak on the record in public with helpful and add v adversarial questions put to him by members of congress, thats our institutions working. i hope he would take them up. from the clip you played, christi, sounded like it might have been a logistical problem, perhaps wants to confer with his lawyers, wrap up loose ends from having been fired as director of the fbi. i hope it is nothing more serious than that, and that he ...

Questions. one the law does require if there are tapes they have to be preserved. the second question is do they have to be turned over. and in that situation you would expect the white house, if they want to keep the tapes to themselves, they dont want anyone else to hear they would resist producing them and argue skiff privilege applies. >> so i want to listen here to representative of the foreign affairs committee what he had to say about the president taping conversations. >> if i were the p...

You know, the prospect that a tape exists of the presidents dinner conversations with former fbi director james comey is interesting not because a president taping conversations is inheritly nefarious. presidents havent done it since nixon, but lots did before nixon. the reason thats really interesting is because if there is a tape and the conversation went anything like the president says it did, where theyre talking about whether hes under investigation, that tape is fair game for being subpoe...

Paranoia right now inside the white house. people are very worried after omero sas book that people are taping conversations, that anyone could be stabbed in the back at any time by their colleagues. theyre worried that, you know, stories about them will end up in a tell-all book. there is just this real sense that you cant trust anyone, and i think that goes from the president all the way down to, you know, aides throughout the west wing and even throughout the agencies. >> eli stokols, interes...
