Page 895 - Wolf News Today

I was talking to so many people today reporting on this wolf. one person said this to me. we havent done ourselves any favors by picking fights with intelligence agencies. i think the same thing could be said of the fbi and law enforcement officiales. at the end date of, the frustration we hear from republicans on capitol hill is that on capitol hill is has entirely derailed the agenda. theres going to be a confirmation hearing for the fbi director. that is going to occupy so much of the summer....

This playing out in a televised hearing of the former fbi director reading from this journal. reading from this diary, if you will, of what was happening at the time. even though its his version of events, wolf, he is a credible person. not necessarily liked by all democrats, of course, but certainly liked by more republicans on capitol hill. that would be something quite extraordinary for the former fbi director, having his final word there or his say there. but wolf, if you go back in the hist...

A totally botched way that he fired comey. now that you have jason chaffetz saying that i will get this memo even if i have to subpoena it, i heard trey gowdy not be entirely supportive of the president. we need to see what the facts are here. but the trump administration does not have a lot of credibility at this point in terms of pushback. they are not even pushing back tonight. you dont see people on the record out there, like last night or last week. no one will put their name to it. >> mart...

>> unfortunately, he does. its like the boy who cries wolf. he keeps saying these things and people keep accepting it. at least trump supporters keep accepting it. i think hell keep doing it as long as some americans continue to accept it. but he doesnt seem to value the truth. he doesnt seem to value veracity and its trickling down to his spokepersons and press secretaries. theyre doing the same thing. every time up see them on, theyre misleading, mie mischaracterizing, talking about alternativ...

White house. and theres no need to reform himself because he doesnt understand that his words matter now now that hes president. >> there is no this is the best condo, its the best view, you can see all the way to staten island when theres a building in front of you. >> yeah, i know. >> like michael, president trump said yesterday that he invented the phrase priming the pump. merriam webster stays "priming the pump" has been around since the 30s. does this president think he can get away with te...

Cant be attacked and, you know, this could have huge consequences as well see. >> all right. congresswoman, thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you for having me, wolf. >> coming, more on the breaking news, president trump hinting there are tape recordings of his conversations with former fbi director james comey. why wont the white house clear things up? >> are there recording devices in the oval office or in the residence? >> as i said for the third time theres nothing to add. >> does he t...

To have dinner with president an he was uneasy because of that because compromising even the optics, appearance of independence, not only of him but of the fbi. >> and our sources tell us that during that dinner president trump asked him for a loyalty oath and were told through our sources that he would not afwrie to that and he would agree to an hones honesty. he felt he could be fired considering he didnt consider the loyalty oath and the wiretapping claim and the fall jauted on ought that. he...

How is the white house going to explain the contradictionings and could they do away with press briefings? >> wolf, thats a good question. its unlikely they would do away with press briefings because its a way to get the questions out but it also raises a point weve known for a very long time. the presidenting donald trump himself, often likes to be the messenger himself. he sometimes places mistakes. he driving this hour by hour, moment by moment, and the staff in white house is often following...

Also the source i spoke with said its unlikely former director comey will testify next week in prompt of the senate intelligence committee. as you know it has been requested. hell not respond. wolf? >> its fascinating and very significant. pamela, stand by. jeff, on this network and other networks theyve already used the word "nixonian" to describe firing. are we led to believe the president is taping white house conversations? >> wolf, thats an interesting question. the president did suggest th...

Were following the breaking news. president trump threatening the former fbi director james comey writing in a tweerkts and im quoting the president now, james comey better hope that there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press. this raises lots of questions for our specialist phil mudd. do you interpret that tweet as a threat? >> i sure do. add two words or else. phil in, unless you do this or else. i dont think thats the heart of the story though, wolf. i think...
