Theres been no evidence of it. i dont think that should continue. >> and we have even more testimonies ahead tomorrow. attorney general jeff sessions will testify before the senate intelligence committee. hes o prosurprised many with t weekend announcement. it is important that i have an opportunity to address these matters in the appropriate forum. comey drew headlines when he made this comment about why he believes sessions would ultimately be forced to recuse himself. >> our judgment as i rec...

His people say its unlikely but thats something he has to worry about depending on how he positions himself. >> ted cruz same page mitch mcconnell. >> well see how long it lasts. >> i was going to say i feel the earth shaking. jackie? >> speaking of health care while all of us were focused on the comey hearing there were other important testimonies, including that of health and human services secretary tom price. tom price was defending the debts budget including deep cuts to medicaid. this is s...

A news story relating to the administration that was of super bowl-like proportions. howie: the comey indictment of donald trump happened to match the media narrative that the president is engaged in some political cover-up. mollie: this network and on the for networks ran countdown clocks by makes the journalistic impulse to get something major out of this. it wasnt necessarily what the media were expecting. you had the story lines going into this that there was collusion between russia and tru...

This. mueller is not doing a civil case here. it is already a criminal investigation. >> it is a counterintelligence investigation. >> you dont understand. >> i do understand. >> then you wouldnt have said that. counterintelligence involving an american, if there is a crime -- or if he is violated that, is a criminal case. and so there is already a criminal case open and the grand jury -- you wouldnt have a grand jury if it wasnt a criminal case. and if the president then says there are no tapes...

Thats what i was getting to. this idea that you can tell him what he needs to do, the fact that he has advisers other than the ones named donald are becoming more far-fetched. im sure hes getting legal advice, im sure hes getting ethical advice, and im almost sure hes not listening to what hes being told. >> on the comey testimonies as well on the democratic side, how does that so-called tarmac meeting between former attorney general loretta lynch and james comey compare to the allegations? >> i...

Comey should have been aggressive with the president as someone who serves as 4.5 years, the first thing that the attorney general should have done, once the fbi said -- the attorney general should turn around and call the white house to dont ever do that again. >> carl, in your thoughts? >> it was a bad day for the president of the united states. what we see are these investigations and incredible testimonies closing in on his conduct and nearing a discussion of obstruction of justice and abuse...

Bu we felt it was very important to understand that mr. comeys come here today not just as a former fbi director but as someone part of the political process. >> thats interesting because james comey is now a private citizen. he is not running for anything. so we often see negative campaign ads, but you are attacking someone who, as you say, was widely respected as the head of the fbi. what is your goal here? before his senate testimony to try to tarnish him somehow? >> not really. its just to u...
