That he would be? >> if thats aimed at me, i would say were reliving the same nightmare which is investigators working for jim comey leaked that the president was being investigated. jim comey had to personally knock that down for the president three times. then everybody reported hes not being investigated. then theres a brand new leak and now theyre saying the president is being investigated. jay sekulow is right to say, hey, why dont you just tell us? >> first of all, jay could pick up the ph...

The fbi director. so whats going on here? is this a legit line of questioning or another smoke screen to undermine the probe. lets bring in former south florida u.s. attorney kendall coffey and former deputy director matt schlep. >> the discussion from sekulow saying the exact opposite of what you heard him say to jake. >> you dont know that he isnt under investigation now, do you? >> no one has notified us that he is. i cant read peoples minds, but i can tell you this, we have not been notified...

To me, now, they are starting to attack the people who are doing the investigation and suggest that they are illegitimate and politically motivated. remember, the justice department looked into whether mueller, because he came from a law firm that had represented trumps family, would have any conflict of interest. that would benefit trump, by the way, jesse. they said, no, nothing is there. and then, the question is raise raised, what about the fact that some of the people he hired have given do...

About reports that comey will testify that the president asked him to back off the flynn investigation. >> did the president engage in obstruction of justice in mr. james comey? >> our job, we are focused on the presidents agenda and going forward all questions of these matters will be referred to outside counsel. >> we have a full panel on the story. first which go to ken delaney and nbc national security reporter. ken, what is the late est on james comey? >> reporter: he is going to testify in...

Talk. >> yeah. although, i think there is a question about whether mueller will want him to testify at this point. it points to a potential obstruction issue that mueller has to investigate. telling that story in public would not be helpful to the investigation. >> good point. gentlemen, thank you. still ahead, the timeline of president trumps allege contact and new subpoenas to general michael flynn and a big warning about possible contempt. plus, democrats debating the "i" word, impeachmen...

What do you know about whether mueller has it or is interested in it? >> we definitely know mueller has it. the senate intelligence committee has sent letters to treasury requesting the same documents and in those letters theyve said send it to us before you send it to mueller. so we know there is a sharing agreement going on but its important to note that where these suspicious activity reports are housed that the fbi has access to that database and can drop it. it seems the big question author...
