Release the threats, those texts. my first thought was, if anyone in that white house is putting something like this in writing, what else are they putting in writing? >> or what else are they saying on the known when theres not going to be a written record. the thing about this story, on the one hand, its so sordid and farcical and it can be easy to laugh and sneer at. on the other hand, its deadly serious, if you have people in the white house blackmailing members of the press into better cove...

Appears to be trying to send now. >> what will the comey memos, the actual possession of the comey memos by the intelligence committee add to their investigation since james comey seems to have testified about those conversations with the president in full already? >> so i think these memos are really important for them to have because it establishes a written record that comey was making at the time that they can use to then interrogate other witnesses, compare their memories of what happened t...

Have because it establishes a written record that comey was making at the time that they can use to then interrogate other witnesses, compare their memories of what happened to what comey had written down at the time, which is probably the freshest recollection of any of these incidents. so its really helpful for them to fact-check as they go forward. >> what do you expect after they get the memos, when youre building an investigation like this? there are these basic building blocks you want. wh...

You needed to start putting down a written record? >> the nature the person. so why did he kick everybody out of the oval office? why are would kick the attorney general, the president, the achiev chief of staff out to talk to me if it is about something else? >> quite frankly the president has informed around 6 billion people that hes not real fond of this investigation do you think there is a difference in that? >> yes. >> okay. >> a big difference in kicking superior officers out the oval off...
