it is sexist. there is nothing kind of about it just say sexist. beautiful women. if it is not a bad thing to case beautiful women in a national televised. like slabs of meat. like magic mike your boy. you can t spell sexist without exist. he had to check that. with the exception of dana, the way you are with magic mike i feel likip am in a bath house. we can arrange that. why were in tampa and gregmented me to go to all of the magic mike sites. i tried to get her to go where they filmed location. i am an investigator it is an art film. absolutely. it is an art film. a lot of people named art enjoyed the film. and you referred to alena as america s treasure. that is incorrect she is. and up in the air pointed out on the novel was nominated for six oscars . won none. they all got robbed, but anacendrick she lost to precious. right, that movie. i still haven t seebe it but i want to. no one saw it and no one will. said thape . i went to a porno movie name happened up in the air. i don t know. there is it no innuendo in that title. not what so ever. that is if you want to stretch on the first word, i guess there is. dana, why do you not want to be penned down. i thought you were afraid of offending machine and your hollywood buddies. you have season a single movie. a best of the southern wild. i did like it i thought that young lady eight years old. she s 67 and that s why she should win. female emmanuel lewis. that not a program, dana. i watch it at home. you are watching it at home on pbs. and you downloaded it illegally. didn t you, dana. she watched it on the few finder. and comedy is always shut out of the oscars. and that is it comedy really. it is it a best picture. i didn t see it. it looks depressing about a mentally deranged kid. if is not depressing. and he s telling you it is not depressing. andy is a walking brooklyn bridge. and that is it a trail. andy is not even boy polar. it is it an uplifting movie. it is it not funny and not the three stooges. there were funny momentings. and the trial re trail didn t indicate. it was somebody with a disorder. and that was the original title. get one of the people who are mentally ill to play that. that is it a good point. last time they did that was with shaun penn. and gary busey to play the pie polar. that is it a fantastic. and super ficial and toogood looking. the hiring of bradly cooper is sexist. it should have been matthews mcconaughey. it came out . really tis it a long time. i think they should hold the oscars back. i don t care about last year s movies. movies don t matter unless they come out between thanksgiving and christmas. they are holiday movies. that is it not winning. and eddy, i wish i can t they had a editing. you worked in the film industry. two hours. two hours too long. 45 minutes at the end was amazing. it was the only movie of the big ones. argo, didn t fall apart in the third act. argo felt so fake. it certainly was. it is it all about hollywood saving the world for islamic fundmental mr. #2: . the movie about boly wood is always the ones that wins. god, i hated the artist . what i nind amazing. ziro dark 30 gets slammed and so instead you vote for argo. it is it loosely based on reality. even jimmy carter said it false. ignore the obnoxious people. if is it better for up. birney - you agree to let it g. arguing back and forth when you respond positively. if someone said you are an obnoxious twirt. say thanks . it drive them nuptless. you are giving thim attention. it is debatable . like i said. i you send to chickings and i give up. you are talking about that again. yeah. chris, walter. if you ignore someone on the internet how do they know? yes. i assume you don t respond. you could not see it it is it an absence. how do you know i am ignoring you or unconscious. i do the same. everyone is ignoring me. andrew. he is right. it works in your case. i learn from experience. oh. i am not looking for sympathy. well, you got it i am lookingalt you. right down here, right there. f.b.i. dealing with rash of sexting. i read through the f.b.i. s report to see what else the discipline is for. here s one i like. employee hit a recording device in super visor s office. i would never think much doing that. that is it a weird idea. that s what you are train add for with the f.b.i.. maybe this is why they can t finted robert meneppedez prostitute. you should get the secret service to look for those prostitutes. oh, i know her. and they will not pay them. the . eep who hit the recording device fired. what was the punishment. . eye lest bureau gun and loop top in car overnight. pro. five-day suspension. that makes it sound more reasonable. it seems like one employee was fired. i don t know. knape. person towho used the cell phone 10 dayless suspend happened. twice as nice as having a shot gun stolen. danny. mr. 2: just realmsed what you. you dopdone there? i can be you are doing your paper thing. all right. i am done. i don t care. whatever. there you g. and i thought you were . heard the musicy. and you you are done . coming up. so what do you do when you are arrested in fay downtown bar and feeling her artificial leg. dana leads a wild life . first, will 3 d printers end up making brand new body parts?

are arguments like these the only ones that matter because you are eight. passionate. and they got into an argument of sequestration andth. that is the third metallica album. i didn t know that. i made tup. that is it a sexual move. it is it a yoga. i thought it is sequesting right now. and who is the best of all time. jimmy hen drickings. i hope to see him sometime soon. every since you opened for him we haven t seen him. he s taking time off to reflect. i don t think the owners of motel 6 should call the cops on anybody. that s the door. motel 6. and that s it. you go to motel six and there is an unconscious relationship that you have that you are not doing something nice. you stay in a motel 6. it is it ape family of unicorns. you take the family. and it is. no, you are probably right. probably? i think motel 6 upgraded their image i believe. it is two wipe outs for you now. dan ayou have a different of the greatist guitarist of all time. it is one of them. dirks bentley. oh, my god. i kind of hoping you wouldn t come to me and i heard of gun and roys and van hailen halen. i have no idea and don t care. really?

found on a laptop seized from abedin s estranged husband, disgraced former congressman, anthony weiner. that was all part of a separate investigation involving accusations of weiner sexting with an underage girl. but, it is this man right here who is now coming under intense criticism. fbi director james comey. now, the clinton campaign s former federal prosecutor s high-ranking justice department officials and even a former republican congressman all were saying that director comey should have never made this bombshell announcement so close to the election without having all the facts. let s begin with evan perez, our justice correspondent, with new information. evan, i understand you have a little more on the timetable of the review of the e-mails and the resolution. what do you know? well, brooke, there s a lot of work that s being done behind the scenes by these fbi investigators. now that they have a search warrant, they re going through these e-mails, they re cataloging them, again, to try to remove things they don t necessarily need to take a look at. they want to isolate the e-mails that could be of interest, that may have to do with classified information. and that may have touched the hillary clinton private e-mail server. we know that some of the work was already done in the past few weeks, as the fbi agents who were doing that weiner investigation stumbled on these e-mails. one of the things they did see was that there was some metadata analysis that was done and it showed at least some of these e-mails had gone through the clinton private server. that s the reason why you see that letter from the from director of the fbi, jim comey saying there appeared to be some e-mails that were pertinent. there s a lot we don t know at this point. we don t know how many of these e-mails are duplicates, in other words, they ve already seen, they ve already investigated. we don t know whether or not there s any classified information on this. we only simply know that there s a belief that, from the agents that took a look, that there might be. so, there s still a great deal of work that needs to be done. we expect the initial look through these e-mails will take just a couple of days. but then additional work will have to be done. that means it s very unlikely we ll have this all buttoned up by the time election day comes by. thank you, evan perez. the white house is weighing in. we ll get to that in a second. moments ago, donald trump, he pounced all over hillary clinton, while applauding james comey at a rally in michigan. let s go to our senior white house correspondent there at the rally in grand rapids. to the white house, we just heard from josh earnest, spokesperson at the white house speaking more or less on the president s perspective on comey, what did he say? reporter: very interesting, brooke. president obama, according to white house press secretary josh earnest, is not suspicious of what the fbi director decided to do by announcing this publicly, that the bureau is now reviewing some additional e-mails that may possibly be linked to hillary clinton. the white house is also saying, we should point out, brooke, they re not going to defend or criticize jim comey in all of this. they re trying to stay on the sidelines of all of this. donald trump not so much. he is grabbing onto this with both hands at a rally here in grand rapids. donald trump is talking right now. he praised the fbi director. you ll recall, brooke, that is a big shift for donald trump. earlier this year trump was saying because of the fbi director s announcement that the that investigators would not be seeking any charges against hillary clinton over that private e-mail server, trump was saying over the summer, well into the fall, that the fbi was part of this rigged conspiracy to throw the election to hillary clinton. contrast that with what donald trump just said about jim comey a few moments ago. here s what he had to say. and i have to give the fbi credit. that was so bad what happened originally. and it took guts for director comey to make the move that he made in light of the kind of opposition he had where they re trying to protect her from criminal prosecution. you know that. it took a lot of guts. i really disagreed with him. i was not his fan. but i ll till what, what he did, he brought back his reputation. reporter: so, there you go, very different words, a very different take from donald trump on the fbi director. trump went on to thank anthony weiner during his remarks just a few moments ago. of course, the disgraced former congressman is now at the heart of these e-mails that have been swept up by the fbi as part of this new look at those e-mails used or sent across her private e-mail server. and, brooke, it s not just an e-mail message from donald trump today, although you might think that s the case. he s also talking about the economy in places like michigan. a lot of people here were hard hit by that recession. they re hoping against a lot of data out there that they can, perhaps, flip this state red. brooke, that s at the hard of donald trump s strategy heading into the final week of this campaign. they have to flip some states that mitt romney lost four years ago if they have any chance of winning this thing. even though the news cycle is working to their benefit the last few day, they still have to win this elections. they have to flip some states for that to happen, brooke. we ll take a closer assessment to see where hillary clinton and donald trump will be, zigzagging in the final stretch. jim acosta, thank you there in michigan. on this whole issue here with the fbi and hillary clinton, nearly 100 former justice department officials all signed this letter, critical of james comey. and they come from republican party and democrat party. they write in part, quote, we do not question director comey s motive, however, the fact remains the director s disclosure has invited considerable, uninformed public speculation about the significance of newly discovered sterile just days before a national election. for this reason, it goes on, we believe the american people deserve all the facts and fairness dictates releasing information that provides a full and complete picture regarding the material at issue. with me now, one of the co-signers of that letter, actually, used to jim comey s boss at the department of justice, he is jim cole, served as deputy attorney general from 2011 to 2015. thank you for joining me today. pleasure to be here, brooke. thank you. , so just straight out, why was james comey wrong here? you know, the department of justice has some long-standing policies that say, you do not disclose information about criminal investigations because you don t know whether or not the facts are going to turn out one way or another. it s just unfair to the people who are involved in this investigation. what i think we ve seen here is an example of how that works in the negative. he let this information out, rampant speculation that has no foundation at all, in fact right now is being put out on every news program in america. and it is just unfair. he put out he shouldn t have said anything in the first place. then when he said it, he said too little. let me just push back on you. from what i ve read, those who disagree would say, assuming this would be reopened based upon the laptop and the tablet and the cell phone they got early october, and if comey had not gone public, had not written this letter to leaders of congress, isn t it possible, jim, that one of the investigatory agents on the case could have leaked it to the press and we d be singing a much different tune which is, comey and the fbi would be painted as covering something up. first of all, he doesn t really know what he has. before he starts saying things officially from the fbi, he should make sure he knows what it is he has. if the only reason for him speaking is that he s afraid that somebody within the fbi is anonymously going to leak information, that s not a good enough information. he s the head of the fbi. he should say, that s not what the fbi does. when we speak, we speak formally through the director. jim, you know, as folks are pouncing on comey, let s talk about the original sins. one, hillary clinton over and over admitting it was a mistake, her use of a private e-mail server as secretary of state. two, that tarmac chat between the a.g., loretta lynch, and bill clinton, all the while his wife are being investigated, aren t those the ones that should be in the critical spotlight here? isn t that fair? i think those have been talked about. they ve been analyzed. they ve been put in their proper perspective. the real thing you should be looking at right now is quloo information about the activities of the fbi are being put out unfairly and with very, very incomplete record. and are really skewing the public record on this. people think this investigation has been reopened. it really hasn t. they don t know whether there s enough information present here to warrant reopening the investigation. this is just going to be a preliminary look at some things they found that they don t even know what those things are. that s the context that i think has to really be remembered here. let me just ask you, listen, i ve certainly never worked at the department of justice. you re the expert. if you know that you have helped sift through an investigation, i.e., the private e-mail server investigation, it had been hked, you know, in the end, we remember jim comey on tv early july saying intent not criminal. then, unbeknownst to you some time later, out popping other e-mails that could be germane to that very same investigation. so you, whatever word you use, review, reopen, is that not all important to consider? well, the thing i would find out first is, what is it we found? are these just duplicates of the e-mails we ve already looked at? then that s going to be a very significant fact. do these e-mails have nothing to do with classified information? another very significant fact. before i start going into any form of characterization, i m going to want to know what it is i actually have. before i you would have waited? you would have waited to figure out the significance of the e-mails before saying anything? i would have, yes. okay. jim cole, thank you so much. to a different opinion, joining me, jim pomerance, nice to see you again, on the flipside. thank you. you think james comey was write right in what he did friday. tell me why. specifically as to what he did on friday, i think he was right. i have some issues and concerns going back to july we ll go back to that. to the conference. we ll get to that. that question of whether it s reopened or not is a semantics question. the fbi is investigating based on new information, i.e., new evidence or potential evidence they ve received. so, whether the case is reopened or not, that s a semantic issue. he told the congress when he testified that if there was new, additional information of significance, he would provide that. now he s got it. and i think at this point he had no choice but to do what he did. back to your original point, though, i feel there was a but. but back in july you feel the train went off the tracks, so to speak. tell me why. i agree. i don t think that the traditionally what the fbi does is investigate. at the end of that investigation, they wrap up what they have and they send it to the department of justice or to u.s. attorney, depending. and that entity makes the prosecutetive decision. i think having a press conference and saying the fbi does not feel there s enough here for going forward was a mistake. now, put it in hang on, hang on. just so i m clear, you didn t feel like it was james comey who came forward and did what he did. you felt it should have been someone like loretta lynch, despite the fact she sat on a plane with bill clinton the week prior? prior to your last comment here, yes, that s where i was going. it was the department of justice s own action that set this in motion. that set this whole set of circumstances in motion. and, yes, that s apparently his reasoning for doing it. i still think i wouldn t have done it if i were director. i may be exercising 20/20 hindsight but i don t think i would have done that. as a former fbi guy, what do you think happened here? i mean, huma abedin and anthony weiner, i mean, i don t know if they shared an icloud account, all of a sudden the fbi has a laptop, phone, tablet and looking at thousands and thousands of e-mails. what happened? i think exactly, again, brooke, i think you said it pretty well yourself. that in the course of another unrelated investigation and that, by the way, is not it s an unusual thing to occur, but not this is not the first time when information obtained in one investigation has bearing on another one. obviously, looking at the allegation, the serious criminal allegation against anthony weiner, this came up. and the agents looked at it and realized it was relevant to not what they were doing individually, but to the larger work of the fbi. and it started working its way through the process. at some point in time, it cu culminated in that letter on friday. and here we are today, eight days to go and still don t know a whole heck of a lot. steve pomerantz go ahead. unpredictably i understand there s some bipartisanship in terms of the criticism, but overwhelmingly, it is partisan. the criticism you know, he was a hero in certain quarters in july and now in those exact same quarters he s a villain. the tides have turned. you re right. so much that s something the fbi has to rise above and i give them credit for doing that. the fbi has to remain as impartial and objective as possible. steve pomerantz, thank you. one of the big questions right now, where is huma abedin? as the government, federal government, is combing through her estranged husband s xushgts looking through these e-mails? she is not traveling with hillary clinton for the third straight day. and welcome back, daisy. the clinton campaign goes nuclear with its new version of one of the most famous political ads of all time. one, two, three, four and you re talking to youro doctor about your medication. this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. this is humira helping me go further. humira works for many adults. it targets and helps to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira has been clinically studied for over 18 years. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you ve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you ve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don t start humira if you have an infection. ready for a new chapter?

we don t know exactly why except i don t think it would be a bridge too far to have informed speculation that she has now become such a huge part of the story because the only reason we re discussing this is because of a computer that her estranged husband that allegedly had her e-mails on it. so, that is, no question, big part of the reason. maybe she s also dealing with her lawyers. we re just not sure. the point about her being a second daughter is right. people have talked about her now for a couple of days and trying to get at the connection here, but i don t think you can overstate how close these two are. and second daughter is just sort of maybe one aspect. and i think she s her official role is hillary clinton s right-hand woman. but it s not just hand, it s arm, it s brain, it s everything. she is the person who thinks what hillary clinton is going to think before she thinks it and makes things happen with her. that s how close they are and have been for years and years and years. the irony has been that she has been such in the spotlight not just with this but because of her estranged husband, anthony weiner. there are a lot of staffers, i m sure you know them, too, both of you, who kind of like being in the spotlight and there are others who do not like their names being out there. they do not like being a part of the news psych. she s one of those. so, for her to be such a part of this news cycle must pain her as much as it is the content that we re talking about why she s in the news cycle. off of huma, tim, the question for dems, democrats are making this a referendum on jim comey. they re saying, show us what you know. will that work? well, one of the ways you can be sure that you re succeeding is a nonpartisan agency chief is you get attacked from both sides. that s when you know you know you re doing the right thing. in july democrats loved him because he said there s no reason to indict hillary clinton. now because he had told congress appear investigators that the case was closed, and then they had reopened, it he had to inform the congress that he was reopening it. he didn t, bilt, inform the congress publicly. somebody leaked that letter. but he was under an obligation to do so, and he had been attacked by congress for being pro-democratic. so, he s right in the middle. and democrats have to keep in mind, i believe, that james comey is the same person who stood up to george w. bush and refused to sign for the continuation of the nsa program that was violating our fourth amendment rights. so, either this man has is suddenly a different man, or in this very difficult political climate he s trying to thread the needle, in a controversial way, but he s trying to thread the needle to not to seem partisan. the person the dems should be angry at is anthony weiner. what a bizarre oh, my god. what a bizarre i know. what about trump, can he capitalize, he can stay on message? how can this really help him? reporter: well, your first question and your second question are directly related. can he capitalize? yes. can he stay on message? we ll know if he can capitalize if the answer is yes to whether he can stay on message. teleprompter trump, as i call him, the one who does stay on message, has been out there for the past few days. he has not been attacking fellow republicans, hasn t been attacking accusers, people who accuse him of sexual assault. he has been staying where his aides want him to stay. not just on the e-mail issue and hillary clinton and talking about comey and even today saying thank you to anthony weiner and so forth, but also on a big issue that helps them substancewise, which is obamacare and the news for the past couple of weeks now that obamacare premiums have gone up. and so if he can do that then, yes, he can capitalize on it. the question is whether or not it is too late or not. have i to tell you just really briefly to answer that question, i was in iowa the weekend with republican canvassers. one of the things they do on this app, which they use to figure out who is going to vote democratic or republican, the first question is, are you happy with the way this country is going yes or no? and the second is, are you going to vote for hillary clinton, yes or no? and their hope is that if the first answer is, no, i m not happy and the second is, yeah, i ll go for hillary clinton, that they actually can be persuaded no in this kind of climate. give the fact that the spotlight is back on hillary clinton and questioning her integrity, for lack of a better way to say it. well, maybe they re persuade anl, to use your phrase, if trump remains teleprompter trump the last eight days. then you have the hillary clinton ad, the latest daisy ad, where you have the clinton campaign trying to keep the conversation on trump and his temperament. this is me in 1964. the fear of nuclear war we had as children, i never thought our children would have to dpeel with that again. to see that coming forward again in this election is really scary. trump asked three times. three times, why can t we use nuclear weapons. i want to be unpredictable. bomb the [ bleep ] out of them. quekly, tim, trying to break through, will that work? at in point, hillary clinton, it s in her interest to remind people of what a trump presidency means and that the president is actually, as george w. bush said, and he was right, the decider. tim neftali, dana bash, thank you very much. coming up, the blue state strategy. we ll take a look at the electoral map and the blue states trump is gambling on on his path to 270. also ahead, trump and his foundation say they have given millions to charity. a claim that s pretty tough to verify without those tax returns. we ll talk to the washington post reporter who has spent months looking into trump s philanthropy. what he discovered. next. to do the best for your pet, you should know more about the food you choose. with beyond, you have a natural pet food that goes beyond telling ingredients to showing where they come from. beyond assuming the source is safe. to knowing it is. beyond asking for trust. to earning it. because, honestly, our pets deserve it. beyond. natural pet food. when you hit 300,000 miles. or here, when you walked away without a scratch. maybe it was all the times it got you safely out there. or all the times it got you out of there. maybe it was the day your baby came home. or maybe the day you realized your baby was not a baby anymore. every subaru is built to earn your trust. because we know what you re trusting us with. subaru. kelley blue book s most trusted brand. and best overall brand. love. it s what makes a subaru, a subaru. gaviscon is a proven heartburn remedy that gives you fast-acting, long-lasting relief. it immediately neutralizes acid and only gaviscon helps keep acid down for hours. for fast-acting, long-lasting relief, try doctor-recommended gaviscon. but dad, you ve got.tes are probably gonna double. allstate. with accident forgiveness they guarantee your rates won t go up just because of an accident. smart kid. indeed. it s good to be in, good hands. we re about to enter the final week of this election, so i wanted to come back to ohio, one of the most competitive and consequential battleground states in the country to talk about what s at stake in this election. but let me start with this. i m sure a lot of you may be asking what this new e-mail story is about, and why in the world the fbi would decide to jump into an election with no evidence of any wrongdoing with just days to go. that s a good question. first of all, for those concerned about my using a personal e-mail. i understand. as i ve said, i m not making excuses. i ve said it was a mistake and i regret it. now they apparently want to look at e-mails of one of my staffers. by all means, they should look at them. and i am sure they will reach the same conclusion they did when they looked at my e-mails for the last year. there is no case here. and they said it wasn t even a close call. and i think most people have decided a long time ago what they think about all of this. now what people are focused on is choosing the next president and commander in chief of the united states of america. you heard it there, hillary clinton speaking at a rally in ohio. there is no case here on fbi director james comey now reopening this investigation into that private server. hillary clinton s comments come today as more than 18 million americans have already cast their ballots. before that controversial announcement on friday from fbi director james comey, through that letter to members of congress about the discovery of new e-mails possibly relating to clinton s private server. it raises the question, is early voting really a good idea, particularly in an unprecedented election season when a late october price could be just about anything. mark preston, let me go straight to you. senior political director at official cnn decision desk. on early voting, how are the numbers comparing to this time four years ago and are any folks expressing buyer s remorse, early voting remorse? first of all, as we talk about what happened now and what happened four years ago, they re talking about this being a suppressed election but we re seeing high numbers of voting. as you said, more than 18 million people have voted so far. this is only through friday. this is the latest data we got from catalyst, which is sourcing it for us. we ll get more data by tomorrow. that will certainly raise this number up. when we get now to where the votes are, let s look at the battleground statements in yellow. about 9.7 million people in the battleground states, the states that are going to decide the election. if you live in a gray state, that s it, i m sorry, you re not going to be as important as these yellow states are right now. how are they doing when it comes to the political parties? well, in colorado, iowa, nevada, in north carolina, democrats have a lead when it comes to registered voters putting in their ballots. in arizona, ohio, florida and utah, republicans have the lead. but the story is a little more complicated than that. let s dig into three specific states. first of all, the state of colorado right here, 700,000 people have cast their ballots right here. what s interesting about colorado, it s an all mail-in state. you don t go to a poll place. you get a ballot in the mail, you check it off, stick it in the mail or drop it off at a registrar s office. let s see how those numbers are shaping up. right now democrats have an edge by about four percentage points right now. why this is important, look what happened back in 2012. republicans at the same time had a 3% edge. that s a seven-point swing in a state right now we saw donald trump in yesterday campaigning. let s look at the big state of florida as well. look how many people have voted in florida so far. more than 2.7 million. of course, this number we believe has increased exponentially over the weekend. but how are they doing here in florida, democrats and republicans? look at this right here. republicans have about a half percent lead in the state of florida. look at this number right down here. about 20%, 5333,742, these are independents or belong to another political party. as we compare the 2016 numbers to 2008, the republicans had a much wider margin. so, even though democrats right now in florida are trailing republicans they re actually not doing too bad. let s go to the state of ohio where we saw hillary clinton holding that rally, talking about her e-mails, about 936,000 people have voted so far through friday. let s see where these numbers drop. look at that rite lead by republicans. it s about 4.5% over democrats. look down here, a third of the electorate, 36.5%, independents, we don t know if they voted democrat or republican. check this out. if you look at 2008, it was basically even. republicans are doing much better. i have to say these early vote numbers aren t going to tell us necessarily who is going to win, but they are instructive about how each political party is getting out their message to vote. thank you. donald trump, let s talk about donald trump, he says no one is as generous as he is. claims he s given away millions of dollars to charities. it seems like the money trail should be an easy one to track. apparently it isn t. the washington post s david fahrenthold joins me. it is awesome having you on. you know, you start this mega piece of yours with this story. it s like celebrity charity ribbon-cutting where you have frank and kathie lee gifford, the former mayor rudy giuliani and in strolls donald trump. frank gifford is saying, why is he here? tell me that story. this is in the fall of 1996. there s a ribbon-cutting at a new nursery run by this charity in new york called the association to benefit children. it s a nursery school for children with aids. trump has never given any of this charity any money, he s not invited. he shows up anyway and he actually steals a seat at the front of the room they saved for someone who was an actual donor, another guy who was a developer. trump takes that guy s seat as the ceremony begins and sits there through the whole ceremony. he sings this little light of mine, dances with the children, sitting there looking like he s given to this charity. as soon as it s over, he leaves. doesn t give a donation, is just gone. it s a story if i hadn t seen pictures, i m not sure i woul have believed it. so, do you all this digging and digging, david, and you can only find instances where he is donating, was it 7.8 million to his own foundation? he s given $7.8 million i found over his lifetime, going back to the early 80s. the bulk, 5.5 million went to the donald j. trump foundation, which is a charity weaver seen as he treats as a second bank account for himself. it s nominally a charity but he s used it to buy two portraits of himself, other art, signed tim tebow football, and used it for his for-profit businesses. now, you re on the phone or contacting the trump foundation and channelling your inner cuba gooding, show me the moerngs show me the evidence, i want to know what you ve given in charity. and you do this work, then you turn around and you call charities. what did you find from those charities? trump s people say he gives tens of millions of dollars and provide no backup. they just though out that number. i called 420 charities that seem 420 charities. let me give you credit for doing that. what do they tell you? i was asking the trump people, give me a list? they won t do that. i m trying to find the donations that seem closest to trump, do my own search. what i found between 2009 and the march of this year, only one gift out of trump s own pocket in that seven-year span, that was for less than $10,000 in 2009. for many years i could find no evidence that he gave a dollar out of his own pocket. maybe somebody from the trump campaign is watching, will give you more information. in the meantime, great job digging and your journalism. david fahrenthold of the washington post, bravo to you. thank you. moments ago hillary clinton saying the fbi does not have a case involving her e-mails, as the spotlight remains on the fbi director and the what it is they re actually going to find. did james comey go too far?

gives you better taste and better nutrition in so many varieties. classic. cage free. and organic. only eggland s best. we are eight days until election day. the political world is reeling after fbi director james comey ended up turning this race upside down with this unprecedent the letter he sent to leaders in congress, putting hillary clinton s private e-mail server back in the spotlight. let s hear from both sides. author charles kizer who has penned a cnn opinion piece, and pete paige, supportive of james comey. gentlemen, welcome. charles, let me begin with you. the premise of your column is you say in this incidence, comey went farther than jay edgar hooverer. hoover did many terrible things as director of fbi, founding director. he undermined democracy in many ways. he tried to undermine the civil rights the tapes and committing suicide. one thing that even he would never do was put his finger on the scale of an election. this has never happened before in the history of our democracy. no justice official has ever done anything like this. can you see today this is no longer a partisan question when you have 100 former justice department criticizing him, former attorney general criticizing him saying this is the equivalent of kind of a reality tv of federal criminal investigation. and you have the former ethics lawyer, chief ethics lawyer of the white house saying he has, in fact, violated the hatch act. this is a very bad day for american democracy. that s how you see it. you see it differently. tell me how you see it. i don t think it s fair to compare him to hoover. everyone prior to this letter thought that james comey was a great guy. i never thought james comey was a great guy. i think he s misbehaved all year. what he should have done in july was, he should have announced that there was no case against hillary clinton, that she had not committed a crime. he should have issued a one-paragraph press release. this is the latest incidence of his misbehavior. we didn t see your opinion piece back then. i wrote those actual words at that time. i didn t see it and i doubt the rest of the country saw it. at this point you have to look at what he s faced with. does he not investigate this is not a question of investigating. exactly. this is a question of whether he announces it or not. what does he do, then? does he tell people what he said to congress earlier is now inconsistent with the fact there is an open investigation? he doesn t have to say that s his responsibility. say anything. there was no reason for him to say anything at this point. and all of the former senior officials of the justice department, democrat and republican, agree on that point today. you threw the policy book out the window when you had james comey as the fbi director making the final decision about prosecuting or not prosecuting someone. i ve been critical of the way they ve handled this. i thought there should have been a personal prosecutor appointed months ago. there was never any crime committed here. there is no crime. this is not maybe not. maybe not. then, why weren t these e-mails provided to forgive me. let me just turn to you and ask you, a fear would be critics have said, what if he went ahead and reopened this looked at this review, looked at whatever e-mails they found on weiner s laptop and somebody could have leaked that they were looking into this. well, that s exactly that is the postential of having a cloud hanging over the fbi. that s exactly and covering it up. mr. comey has proved he isn t qualified to be in this position because he caved into the pressure of irresponsible republicans and, b, because of his own right-wing fbi agents. if he s acting today out of the fear his own agents would leak this if he didn t announce it, this is proof he does not have control over his own agency and he s not qualified to have this job. you ve lost your mind. do you realize president obama appointed this man as director of the fbi? he s presumed to be completely nonpartisan and objective. now you don t like the news you ve decided he s all of a sudden partisan. that s not true. james comey has been the only person in this entire mess who does not have a political agenda. and the idea that he s doing this with a political between you and the deputy attorney general of the george bush administration disagrees with you. if he s not partisan, how is it possible he s now accused formally of violating the hatch act by george bush s chief ethics lawyer? how is that possible? there s no violation of the hatch act. if you ve read the hatch act, you realize it requires the government to show that the intent was to cause some effect to the election. that s exactly what it does not say according to the lawyer for george bush. it s in the books. it sdpnt require it s the effect. why are all these republicans opposing him now? why are all the republicans opposing him now? because it s anti-trump. and i get that. i don t support donald trump, but that doesn t mean james comey caused this mess. this mess started with those e-mails james comey is a candidate who basically defeated last week should proceed according to policy and then determine if they mean anything. perhaps they don t. but don t blame it s fine to investigate this but there was no reason to announce it. the only thing he accomplished by announcing it was to throw a life line to a faltering candidacy. you think he wanted to do that? yes, do i. he s contributing to the only strategy the trump campaign has, which is voter suppression. why do you think they wanted to throw a life hold on. why do you think he wanted to throw a life line to trump when you saw what he did, which had trump and republicans up in arms earlier this summer? actually saying he went both ways earlier in the summer. saying it was not criminal. earlier in the summer he properly found there was no crime, but instead of leaving it at that, he then decided he had to engage in character assassination. this is the sort of thing mccarthy did 50 years ago. it s a disgrace we now have an fbi director doing the same thing as joseph mccarthy did. engaging in character assassination after he s declared she s not guilty of any crime. page, do you think comey did absolutely nothing wrong? i don t think he had to send the letter. let me be clear about that. he was under no legal yes, we re clear about that. would you please let me answer brooke s question. i agree with. you there was no legal obligation for him to send the letter. ethically, he left america and congress under the impression that the investigation was closed. he wasn t looking for additional information. he wasn t trying to investigate clinton but these e-mails came to light, they were put on his desk it s invisible to every other former deputy attorney general. in is an ethic page invented. nobody else is aware of it. i m the only person here without any political motivation in this at all. i m not normally a friend of the fbi. i m a criminal defense lawyer. i m not supporting either one of these candidates for president. i m a proud democrat and i am supporting hillary clinton, but that s not what this is about. clearly. that s not what this is about. it s whether you believe in the rule of law, page. i absolutely believe and the fbi director undermined the rule of law. he has not distorted a single law. no justice department official has ever done and it s an outrage and it s a sad day for american you re saying the obligation is not to look at new evidence that may potentially no. i m saying his obligation is not to announce it. i did not say that. move on he did not have to announce it. he left the public with the impression there was nothing left to investigate. the only thing i agree with you, page, you wrote there is no chance this will lead to a new indictment or anything else. i agree with you entirely about that, which is another reason it never should have been announced. then what s the fear here? let him look through the information. they have a subpoena now. they have the ability to go through these e-mails. they re already cataloging them he said, these e-mails he didn t even have a subpoena to look at them before yesterday. right. he had no idea what s in these e-mails. he is behaving in an outrageous, shameful fashion. now we ll go into the details of the investigation. you can t have it both ways. there was no reason to announce it, page, none. we disagree, respectfully. so do all the former officials of the justice department i think the law is clear. i m not talking about my personal position. i m just talking about the facts. okay. charles, page, agree to disagree, i suppose. eight days. this is a huge, significant deal here as voters are weighing what they should believe as they go into that voting booth. gentlemen, i appreciate both of your perspectives. meantime, hillary clinton just in the key state of ohio just weighed in on this very matter moments ago. stay with us. eight days to go. (vo) when i brought jake home, i wanted him to eat healthy. so i feed jake purina cat chow naturals indoor, a nutritious formula with no artificial flavors. made specifically for indoor cats. purina cat chow. nutrition to build better lives. live pictures here of hillary clinton on the campaign trail in ohio, addressing the fbi investigation into her private e-mail server, what we were just discussing. saying a little while ago, quote, there is no case here. donald trump for his part seizing on the controversy with eight days to go. we will look at the political impact of this massive story next. whoa, this is awful, try it. oh no, that looks gross what is that? you gotta try it, it s terrible. i don t wanna try it if it s terrible. it s like mango chutney and burnt hair. no thank you, i have a very sensitive palate. just try it! guys, i think we should hurry up. if you taste something bad, you want someone else to try it. it s what you do. i can t get the taste out of my mouth! if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it s what you do. shhh! dog, dog, dog. so, we continue on on this monday afternoon. i m brooke baldwin. this is cnn. hillary clinton is campaigning right now in the walgts ground state of ohio. she just addressed the controversy right off the bat with that crowd over the newly discovered e-mails belonging to her right-hand woman and colleague, huma abedin. you ll hear that in just a moment. first, federal investigators are poring through what is believed to be thousands upon thousands of e-mails belonging to abedin. they were found on a laptop belonging to her now estranged husband, disgraced former congressman, anthony weiner. that search was part of a separate investigation, that sexting investigation, involving weiner and an underage girl. but, it is the fbi director, james comey, who is now under fire. critics accusing him of
along party lines to a certain degree. democrats are very concerned with the tick talk. gosh, was it only last week, chris, when that bombshell dropped? the firing of jim comey. democrats called these meetings to all senators yesterday. all house members, republican and democrat today to try to get to the bottom. the tick talk, the schedule, if you will on how this decision was made and what was rod rosenstein s role in doing so? yesterday several democratic senators emerged and said that he wrote the memo, the controversial memo on may 9th, but he said, according to senators, that he learned that comey would be fired on may 8th. so, was it that he was merely playing along with. that is the democratic line of questioning. another big issue here is going to be the scope and range of bob mueller, the now special counsel named by rod rosenstein. how much leeway does he have to delve into collusion and other matters as a special counsel. according to senators yesterday, they said it was a great deal. here comes nancy pelosi, the minority leader filing into the meeting. another issue is going to be the investigations. nancy pelosi told us yesterday that she wants the congressional investigations to move forward. you might expect democrats to want that. they like the fact that there is so much scrutiny on the trump administration and the president s closest associates. republicans for their part say bob mueller now. we have to step back. we don t want all this testimony from jim comey. remember, he has been invited by no fewer than four congressional committees to comend testify ansupply documents. that very much up in t air, chris. thank you so much. i want to bring in my panel here. let s start with what john said a lot of democrats, particularly, are paying attention to which is this tick talk. what happened when. at the outset you had the white house and the president really playing up rod rosenstein s role that he sent this letter and then it was so powerful, the president makes this decision to fire comey. then the president said he had already made up his mind. and then couple new layers added yesterday between the president and some senators. let s just take a listen of what we heard yesterday. director comey was very unpopular with most people. i actually thought when i made that decision and i also got a very, very strong recommendation, as you know, from the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein. he did acknowledge that he learned comey would be removed prior to him writing his memo. is this a diversionary tactic that maybe is overstating it, shelby, or is this going to be this whole timeline, a critical part of this investigation? the timeline is important and two big reasons democrats are focusing on it. number one, they want the political pressure on donald trump. they absolutely want to figure out what happened and call him out if his story shifts. the second reason, it s a legal reason. it s very difficult to prove that donald trump obstructed justice or his intend was there to mess with the investigation. but because his story changes and because his facts shift and the messaging out of the white house changes day to day, that could play a role if there is some sort of lawsuit or some sort of charge down the road. they want to put him on the record as much as possible. if he changes his story, that benefits the democrats. of course, part of the problem for the democrats now, jonathan, is the whole idea that, yes, they got this independent prosecutor that they wanted. they got former director mueller. having said that, that also means that a lot of them may not be able to ask the questions they want to ask openly in f of their committees. right. you see already rosenstein using a form of the fifth amendment already. saying i cont talk about this because presumably it could conceivably incriminate him in an investigation of whether there was obstruction of justice or some kind of cover up. we ve seen this before during the iran contra. a lot of scuffling between the independent counsel and the congressional committee that was looking into this. it s harder for the democrats to keep this in the news because various witnesses can just keep saying this interferes with mueller s investigation. it s easier for republicans. remember that old beer ad. republicans can say it s mueller time. you know, we re not going to have to worry about this. mueller s handling it. we can talk about other issues. go to tax, tax cuts or health care. and, so, the politics are in flux right now and you re going to see a big effort by republicans to put this whole investigation into mueller s box so they can move on to other things. how do you see the addition of mueller changing all this, sean? i think that s a huge addition. i think one of the issues here has been the confidence of the american people that things are being done in a nonpartisan way. i worked with bob mueller for many years. i sat with him on a daily basis. he has got a lot of character, a lot of integrity and he s not partisan. he s all about following the facts, uncovering the truth and let the chips fall where they may. i think that s the biggest thing that the american public gets out of bob mueller being assigned. an article in politico saying his whole life, his whole preparation has been leading up to this. do you agree with that? i think he s an american hero. he was decorated in vietnam. a u.s. marine. but he came to the fbi one week before 9/11. and that was an unbelievable. he still didn t know where the bathroom was. imagine being involved in the biggest crisis our nation has seen certainly in our history up to that point. you don t know who your key leaders are. you don t know the chain of command. you don t know where the right folks are. how the organization runs. he took that organization. he was able to respond to 9/11 and then he dramatically changed the organization taking it from a reactive investigative agency to a proactive preventative agency to prevent attacks and that was a huge issue in the fbi and he helped to change the culture. can i say something i want to echo that point. i was with bob mueller when he went to 9/11 for the first time just three days after when he went to ground zero. when he went to ground zero, excuse me. i have a really vivid memory walking in with him at that time. he had just taken office, as you said, so often those of us in the press, you know, we criticize public servants, public officials. that s part of our job. sometimes we need to take a step back and say, you know what, a few figures in american public life who have really done it right. who have had long careers in public service and have made a lot of sacrifices in terms of income to serve the public. and bob mueller is in that very small group of people. and, so, his integrity is unparalleled. in the meantime, while all this is going on, obviously, the president has another job. peter alexander at the white house. where are we in the search for the new fbi director? who s in and who s out and how involved is the president at this point? chris, good morning to you. if the president will make any announcement today before he departs. he has less than four hours to do it if he wants to stand there side by side with his new appointee for the new fbi director role. he said just yesterday in the oval office that he was close to making a decision. aides say that lieberman the former senator from connecticut the former attorney general from connecticut, as well, was certainly someone they had been heavily focused on. lieberman as a former politician has faced a lot of criticism. before we got a better sense of the list of names given the political climate we re in right now. wide agreement that the choice should not be a politician past or present. lindsey graham among those saying the choice needed to come from within the fbi s ranks, but, of course, the three amigos formally included mccain, graham and joe lieberman. so, now, we re hearing from lindsey graham saying he thinks lieberman would be a great pick. spoke to him and said he thinks he would be interested in the job, as well. a couple days ago the president holding some of the interviews in person here at the white house. joe lieberman was one of those in attendance. frank keating the former oklahoma governor was there as well as an fbi official. his name is richard mcfeely from the baltimore field office, a special agent there, as well as the acting fbi director andrew mccabe. you remember fran townsend on a list the doj, department of justice, put out that they were looking at. she was the homeland security adviser during george w. bush s term in office. just spoke to some aides here a short time ago trying to get her sense if we would find that out today. sean spicer told us, we have nothing for you on that. peter, thank you so much. you know, there is a sense within this white house that that this is an opportunity for reset. right. he s going out on the country. he is going to be focusing on something different. they hope the press will be fosing on something different, as well. and by, think anybody s measure, the last two weeks have been horrible, terrible, very bad weeks. shelby, what do you think the chances are that he kicks off this trip by appointing a new fbi director, turns the page, starts a new conversation? i wouldn t be surprised if he does because it does sort of reset the narrative and then he can leave and have this behind him. he doesn t have to come back to this tough decision. us sitting here talking about bob mueller really ramps up the pressure on him to pick the right fbi directperp you have former fbi directors who has such incredible reputations and everyone he is looking at very upstanding people. but when you speak to former agents. when you speak to politicians, they all have different concerns. generally you want someone with leadership who is totally nonpartisan. very independent. that would rule out joe lieberman, obviously. nonpartisan. he might have bipartisan support, but he is political. i think there are some democrats who say, look, the fact that he doesn t have any law enforcement experience. the fact that he has zero experience in or with the fbi is a nonstarter for them. within the agency, what are they looking for? well, i think it is as shelby said. the first and foremost is leadership. somebody who understands the threats that we face and are willing to take the hard calls, make the hard decisions to help mitigate the risks that we face as a nation. whether they be counterintelligence, counterinterrorism or the wide scale criminality that we find. having that experience as a law enforcement officer, someone engaged in the fight against crime is really important. i know all those folks that are in consideration, except for joe lieberman. the most important piece is it s got to be nonpartisan. i worked in the bureau for 24 years. i served under five presidents. three republicans, two democrats. i never once came in ever and looked at the picture on the wall to say this is how i m going to handle my case. it was based on following the facts and doing what was right and showing a level of integrity to make sure we were upholding justice for american citizens. we need a leader in the organization who does just that. predict what this white house is going to do because they are so unpredictable. on the other hand, you have to believe that the people advising the president saying, look, we cannot have another controversy here. we need to pick somebody who we fee feel really confident about, bipartisan support and not have any more negative headlines. dwr don t know what is going to happen but i think lieberman is a very possible choice here for a couple of reasons. in spite of the concerns of a lot of people. they don t care about those concerns. they don t care what people think in the ranks of the fbi. they know they will get widespread republican support for lieberman s nomination. it s very important to president trump that mccain and lindsey be on the reservation. they don t want them in open opposition. they can t afford that. lieberman was their closest friend in the united states senate. and, remember, lieberman, a democrat, did not endorse barack obama for president. he endorsed john mccain in 2008. they are really connected. so, it s very helpful for trump to have lieberman at the fbi in terms of the hill and, also, lieberman s law firm represents trump, including, including in some of these sexual harassment cases that trump which is another question that some democrats have. i want to circle back down to the start of this all, shawn. and just ask you knowing mueller and the way he operates and he has the way for being meticul s meticulous. could this investigation go on for years? i don t think so. i think bob mueller recognizes the significance and the gravity of this situation and the need for this to come to some resolution for the american public, we have to have that confidence that there has not been a challenge within our democratic process. and i think he s quoeg to follow the facts. let me add one quick point. in terms of the fbi, the fbi is made up of 34,000 men and women all of whom will come in and do what s right, regardless of who is in charge and that will continue in terms of investigations based on what is right for the american public. let me ask you, finally, we have more. people in right now with rod rosenstein. we heard the people come out of the senate yesterday talk about that turn to a criminal investigation. does this become a criminal prosecution? oh, i think this wouldn t have taken place if it wasn t headed in that direction. it s broad. i have rod rosenstein s letter. he is giving full authorization to not just investigate trump s possible ties to russia, but also anything that arises as a result. i think there s one important word here in this letter and it s associates. it s not trump campaign officials. it s anyone associated with the trump campaign. anyone who appeared on the campaign trail. anyone who attended a rally. it s very broad and now he has a big mandate to look into any of these things. criminal defense lawyers, if not they have a fool for a thank you very much. sean hennry, thank you. shelby, jonathan, much appreciated. stick around, coming up one of james comey s friends is pulling back the curtain on the uncomfortable final interactions between president trump and the fbi director he fired. we have the captivating new details, next. when a critical patient is far from the hospital, the hospital must come to the patient. stay with me, mr. parker. the at&t network is helping first responders connect with medical teams in near real time. stay with me, mr. parker. .saving time when it matters most. stay with me, mrs. parker. that s the power of and. p3 planters nuts, jerky and whaseeds.at?

so, basically, you know, he was getting together with some of his closest aides and basically they would ge out what the conversation would be like with trump. you know, comey want tad ed to a position to answer questions in a way that were not going to raise questions down the road. so, they would be asking things, you know, you could imagine since, you know, already he was comey was concerned that the discussions would get down to loyalty, potentially, about the nature of the investigation. comey needed to be able to respond in ways that weren t going to like imply that the fbi was going to do trump s bidding in this case. so, that s the kind of extraordinary lengths that then fbi director was taking to protect himself and protect the investigation. it s almost unbelievable. let s go back to that late january dinner. did comey go in prepared from people who you talked to around at the time. because he didn t think that the president understood that the fbi director is an independent operator? earlier that evening before he went to the dinner there was a celebration a retirement celebration for the retiring director of national intelligence. you know, who basically was out there at fbi headquarters and he interacted with comey at that event. and that s when comey told him he was going to have that dinner. well, around that time or maybe earlier or later before he went over, that s when he gathers with his aides. so, clearly, comey felt uneasy about this. he wass en t sure if maybe trum didn t understand the nature of the fbi director s job or maybe just didn t accept that that was the true nature of that job that comey needed to be independent of the white house. and that that was a deep concern that comey expressed to associat associates. i am assuming the white house denies all this? frankly, they re not really disputing this account. i m sure they will. but, you know, they re not really i mean, this is all something that happens before comey goes to meet with trump. so, they don t have visibility into the preparations that comey is undertaking. absolutely they say that trump understands the independent role of the fbi and, of course, they ve disputed other details from comey s, you know, supposed memos in which he details, you know, the request by the presidt that the fbi not g after mike flynn, the former national security adviser. i m going to bring in jonathan and shelby and i want to add another layer to this about that sort of we ve been showing it, this sort of half hug between president trump and james comey in a blue room ceremony. benjamin, who is the editor and chief is a friend of comey s. here s what he had to say about that awkward interaction. if you watch the video of it, he s wearing a blue blazer and he stands in the part of the room that is as far from trump as it physically is able to be and also against blue drapes. then right at the end trump singles him out and extends his hand preemptively and trump grabs the hand and kind of pulls him into the hug but the hug is entirely one hand. one guy in the hug is shaking hands and the other guy is hugging and comey was just completely disgusted. disgusted. disgusted by the episode. he thought it was an intentional attempt to compromise him in public. he s wearing a blue suit. and they re suggesting, this very close friend of his, that he s basically, i don t want to say hiding, but standing as far away as he could in the drapes hoping he wouldn t be seen. to me, i don t understand why comey was disgusted. it was just a hand shake. as they said about freud and cigar. sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. that didn t seem like that was trying to intimidate him. i am not sure what comey was disgusted about. where the president is really going to be in trouble is that when you get deeper into these investigations, the people who have contemporaneous records of a conversation, the way comey does and trump does not, have a distinct advantage with investigators, juries, whomer is assessing the conflicting accounts. so, this is i mean, you guys aren t lawyers, but this does become one person s word at the other person s word. the advantage goes to the person who kept notes. absolutely. he was trained as a lot of people in the government and law enforcement are trained to make what memorandums of conversations. this will come in extremely useful for comey even if it s not evidence, per se. i think this report gives us fascinating insight into director comey s approach to handling donald trump and all these details just give us some great color. but they re not surprising. he prepared before and he prepared after for the possibility that we would be where we are today. true. to me, none of this is this surprising given that donald trump is an extremely unconventional politician. he ran on the notion that he wanted to go shake up washington and everything that sort of helped trump be a good businessman. his ability to cut to the chase and pick up the phone and call people and get things through back channels. everything that made him successful as a businessman and on the campaign trail is coming back to bite him as president. as comey told his friend, he just didn t think donald trump understood the importance of the fbi and donald trump s an amateur. he s never been a politician. she makes a good point in one of the things that i have heard throughout the course of this presidency, jonathan, i m sure you have, as well. including from people in the obama administration. they couldn t approach the world politics, policy, more differently than donald trump. and, so, you have someone you know is unconventional. you have someone you know who could always throw something out of left field. and, so, if you re smart and if you re disciplined, something that this president often is not, that s what you do, right? of course. and, you know, also, the other thing is, it seems to be pretty clear that trump didn t understand that the fbi director had any independence at all. he just figured he works for me. why shouldn t he be loyal to me? he doesn t know the history of it. if you asked him who for former fbi directors were in cases they were judges or real pillars of independence. he wouldn t have understood the history. jay edgar huver. doesn t someone on his staff say to him - he can change it. he knows he can change it. he can t be brief for this trip that they re having. everything has to be on one page for each leader and then this was leaked to new york times. this blew me away. they had to mention trump s name in that one page several times in order to keep his attention. because there are real indications that he has an add problem and i think that would affect his ability to understand the nuances of the relationship between the president and the head of the fbi. thank you, both. we are out of time and adam, thanks to you, as well. up next, breaking news out of new york. disgraced former congressman anthony weiner is going to be in court at the top of the hour. all those details next. with unitedhealthcare, you can get rewarded for walking. goal! dad. we wanna welcome everyone to the father daughter dance. walk, move and earn money. .for out-of-pocket medical expenses. he s ok! unitedhealthcare if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis like me, and you re talking to your rheumatologist about a medication. .this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain. .and protect my joints from further damage. humira has been clinically studied for over 18 years. humira works by targeting and helping to. .block a specific source. .of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. it s proven to help relieve pain and. .stop further joint damage in many adults. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you ve been to areas. .where certain fungal infections are common and if you ve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. don t start humira if you have an infection. talk to your doctor and visit humira.com this is humira at work. brtry new flonase sensimists. allergy relief instead of allergy pills. it delivers a gentle mist experience to help block six key inflammatory substances. most allergy pills only block one. new flonase sensimist changes everything. ready or not, here i come.ek.) anyone can dream. making it a reality is the hard part. northrop grumman command and control systems always let you see the complete picture. and we re looking for a few dreamers to join us. we re back now with a look at this morning s headlines. sources tell our wnbc here in new york that anthony weiner will plead guilty next hour to a charge of distributing obscenities to a minor. two years in jail for the former democratic congressman. the investigation into him where the fbi found possible new evidence related to the hillary clinton e-mail probe just days before the election. it is expected that he will have to register as a sex offender. julian assange s lawyer calls it a day of victory. swedish prosecutors dropped a seven-year rape investigation into the wikileaks founder. but they emphasized they had not determined if he was guilty or innocent. he took asylum in 2012 after rape charges were filed. face charges on leaking classifi classified american intelligence. check out the live look at lee circle in new orleans. today that city taking down the statue of robert e. lee. complete the removal of four confederate related monuments in the city. the city of new orleans says it will decide where the statues will go through a open and transparent selection process. and right now on the hill, deputy attorney general rod rosenstein is briefing every member of the house of representatives on the firing of fbi director comey. yesterday, you may recall he briefed all 100 senators. here s how two of them reacted right after. do you believe that the deputy attorney general knew before he wrote that memo that james comey was going to be fired? yes. what was it it he said that led you to believe he said the day before. the take away i had is that everything he said is that you need to treat this investigation as if it might be a criminal investigation. mike viqueira is back with us from the hill. what do we expect is going on behind closed doors? we re standing by this briefing behind closed doors. every member of the house being briefed by rod rosenstein. you heard senatorcome out yesterday and i think you hit the two main points, and especially the difference between the democratic perspective and the republican perspective. you heard him talk about what did he know and when did he know it? democrats in something of an uproar or upset when they learned that rosenstein knew the bay before he wrote the memo that was held up briefly as evidence or at least the rationale for the firing of comey that he knew the day before he wrote that memo that comey would actually be fired. republicans for their part, lindsey graham heads a subcommittee that heads an investigation into some of this. he asked for comey-related documents and even comey testimony. but he wants congressional committees to back off why. this has gone from a counterterror investigation to a criminal investigation and that complicates things. and i think republicans for their part want to see this move off the hill. they want to defer to bob mueller. the third thing you re going to be hearing or members are going to become from rod rosenstein the range and the mandate for bob mueller. everything we heard on the senate side yesterday was that it is going to be very wide ranging. so, for republicans in the short term, i think they re glad to get this off their plate to the extent that they can. in the long term, obviously, a lot at stake here depending on how long bob mueller takes and what he comes up with. 90 minutes yesterday and might go longer today given sheer numbers. you re right. i think there are something like 442 members as the house right now as it stands. they ll probably try to get the process under control. we know there is a vote in the house of representatives at 1 11:15 here in washington. that is a time that we might start looking for reactions from them as they emerge. up next, a wing and a prayer. in just a few short hours. president trump will be wheels up on his first international trip as the leader of the free wurmd after weeks rocked by scandal, can the president turn a page here at home as he sets out on his first major foreign trip. the president tweeting about it just moments ago. their experience is coveted. their leadership is instinctive. they re experts in things you haven t heard of. researchers of technologies that one day you will. some call them the best of the best. some call them veterans. we call them our team. when a fire destroyed the living room. we were able to replace everything in it. liberty did what?

chase. helping you master what s now and what s next. some members of the house starting to emerge. here s darrell issa live. that was answered with no hesitation that director mueller will have that ability. do you understand that this now is a criminal investigation? i understand that it has always been a foreign intelligence investigation that included people looking for crimes both foreign and domestic. i don t think anything s changed on that. did you get guidance to how congress needs to handle all its ongoing probes? you can never get guidance from the executive branch on how congress is to do something because there is inherently going to be tension. congress is going to want to look over the shoulder of this investigation. going to be fully briefed. the executive branch will always try to limit that for fear that it would contaminate potential criminal investigations or leaks. all the while, sometimes leaks occur in the executive branch. so, i don t expect this to be any different. there is appropriate discovery and oversight. the speaker i m comfortable will insist on . but there s also that normal tension that has to be respected. r. chairman you asked. what was the general sense you got in the room from your democratic colleagues? are they upset right now or happy there is finally an outside investigation? i don t think anyone is happy that the russians have had the gall to attempt to influence our election and that they continue to be a smaller version of the evil empire i grew up with. i do believe that there was great consensus that going after the russians for interfering with our election is a nonpartisan or bipartisan issue. one that both sides need to get resolved before the next election, not just as to what they did, but how to prevent it. the meeting was originally called to talk about the tick talk. how it all went down. the firing of james comey and mr. rosenstein s role in that. did he speak to that, his responsibility and his decisionmaking process in the firering of mr. comey? i think he spoke to it by asserting that the record is a paper record with a chronological set of documents. what i will say, and i don t believe for a moment this is classified, is that the scope, again, of director mueller includes any questions about referrals related to any misconduct, any interference and there were questions well outside the russian scope in there and repeated ly acting director said that he would feel that his job is to make sure others have the freedom to send it where it may be, including any judicial indiscretions. told them to write the memo on comey s i don t believe he in any way indicated that someone directed him. but he wrote the memo. one thing having a decade of doing investigations has taught me is that it s suspicious when a lawyer doesn t write memos for the record. we ve had investigations where they claim that didn t happen and it wasn t plausible. the fact is one of the principles of law and particularly lawyers in all administrations is they write memos for the record. they write memos to codify what happened even in day-to-day meetings. the record is what it is. nothing unusual about a memo. unusual if there is no memo of something lice thke this. did he explain why he decided tew point a special prosecutor? the press has a tendency to look, at no disrespent to anybody, finally. on february 25th was the first time as far as i know anyone called for the recusal of attorney general and i was the one that did it. and said that, in fact, there were ultimately under the statute need to be a special prosecut prosecutor. that s what we have now. we have a process that goes through that determines certain things in order for the highest ranking person, the attorney general or if recused the next or if recused the next to make that determination. and when you look at eight weeks with discovery in order to determine it, that s not a very long period of time. i think, i think in fairness, the history is not, is fairly void of anything much faster than the time between let s say february 25th when i called for a special prosecutor and today. so, it s because yes. i m sorry. i always assume somebody next has a question. what do you think of the potential joe lieberman as the i think it s great. i worked with joe when he was my counterpart between our two committees. as everyone here kns, he s solid. he s probably a littl bored in private life. he s a including independence at times from his own party is pretty legendary. so, i m a joe lieberman fan. and wouldn t look at a second candidate if the president had the confidence to appoint him. what do you make of the fact that the time frame on comey s firing has changed? the white house initially hung it on rosenstein s memo, but yesterday rosenstein told senators that he was told before that comey was going to be fired? that s one of the questions that came up in there in which the deputy ag said, let the record speak for itself. that s what we have to do. the timeline will be reviewable and, in fact, will be looked at that way. again, you know, i for one thought comey ill served the american people when he tried to stretch beyond all reason the fourth amendment to hack into your iphones. i have had a belief that he didn t respect the constitution, had become in love with the camera, which is normally for politicians. and that he began thinking that he was somehow larger than the fbi director and effective ly ad just the fbi director s boss and not the other way around. is mr. mueller on a witch-hunt? do you theshare the president s view? i don t personally believe in witches but, look, the director s job is to go where the facts lead. and he has a reputation. now, all special prosecutors turn over a lot more rocks than anybody else in the executive branch wants. you know, the reason that the old statute, if you will, the kenneth starr statute expired was because of that tendency to turn over rocks, even without being asked. but i don t think the american people or our president should be concerned. i think that this is somebody who has done a lot of investigations. and, yes, he s going to find things beyond the scope that the narrowest interpretation of either republicans or democrats would want. but i thi the american people deserve the scope to be as broad as necessary to regain confidence in our elected officials, in our appointed officials and in our elections. all of those, you know, the deputy director or the deputy a.g. said it very well. his reason for doing this appointment is as much about public confidence. he was, he was asked about the details of criminality, which some of you are asking and i think he answered it extremely well in a way that isn t part of the classified. part of this briefing that the american people deserve public confidence. the statute was available to him to use, to regain public confidence. and i think for all the members of the press, you re all about getting public confidence back. without an independent and decidedly trustworthy prosecutor that has the ability to go where the facts lead and and to increase his scope, if appropriate beyond just the four corners of the russian activity, then the american people aren t going to get their confidence back. and that s what this is all about. it took a little while, but a relatively short amount of while by washington standards. do you believe mueller will conduct a fair investigation? absolutely. the definition of fair will not be a republican definition. they won t like it. a democratic definition at times, they won t like it. and had president at times will be frustrated. but, again, this is about public confidence and i think most importantly this will not be a partisan activity, even though partisans will complain one way or the other. but we need to have public confidence and the american people and republicans and democrats and they deserve the answers wherever that investigation leads. very quickly on an fbi director, what characteristics do the president need to look for in a replacement for comey? joe lieberman would work for me. someone senior enough to understand how the system works and with the confidence of the american people and then enough tenacity and energy to live out a ten-year term, if possible. thank you. thank you. darrell issa, rushing off. they have to vote in about half an hour. he just came out of that meeting with rod rosenstein which, clearly, got a lot of answers to questions both that members of congress and reporters were asking. let me bring back in jonathan and shelby. clearly, he doesn t like former director comey. i thought it was interesting that he said this is about returning public confidence. what did you make what did you take away from what darrell issa had to say? he s very proud of the fact that on february 25th he was one of the first people to call for a special counsel and he s indicating to the people of his district, that s what congressmen worry about the most. he just barely won. this is an extraordinarily conservative member of congress. but he is a symbol now of the fact that republicans cannot just roll over for donald trump. and echo him saying, oh, this russia thing is a hoax. or whatever tweets trump might make. so, this is showing that there will be some republicans who are behind an independent investigation for their own political well being. shelby, what did you learn from that? i thought it was interesting. he acknowledged this is a very broad investigation. it will go where the facts lead. and i also thought it was interesting he confirmed in a less blunt, direct way, what senator lindsey graham said yesterday, this is possibly a criminal investigation. it s always been about crimes, international and domestic. and all he also said there will be things the president doesn t like about this. to your point, he is distancing himself a bit from the white house, though he echoed donald trump s talking points about james comey. towing the line. they want to distance between what the headlines are. a couple hours from now, president trump is going to get out of dodge, eager to leave behind the controversies. today, he begins his first foreign trip as president. a grueling nine-day, five-stop trip. high stakes visits to saudi arabia, israel, the vatican, silly, belgium. we re joined by bill neely and former ambassador to nato and greece, nicholas burns, who served under secretary of state in the bush administration. jonathan and shelby are here, as well. bill, first stop, saudi arabia. i guess the president will get a royal welcome there. for the saudis and the president, this trip is a chance for a reboot for trump, a foreign reset after all the domestic chaos and for the saudis, a new start after the bad relations they had with president obama. and for both, the sweetener of a huge arms deal to be signed. $100 billion, maybe more. look, there are huge risks, too, for the president. for example, he s due to give a keynote speech in riyadh. mcmaster said this week it would be an inspiring speech, intended to unite the broader muslim world. but this, remember, is a president who used anti-muslim rhetoric in his campaign. he tried to slap a travel ban on people from muslim-dominated countries. there is a danger in this speech that trump is seen to be a western christian leader, and maybe not the perfect christian lecturing muslim leaders. it needs nuance and, frankly, hard policy goals that it can actually be achieved. that s just the first stop. then it s off to the heart of the world s most volatile region to try to solve the world s most intractable dispute, between israelis and palestinians. every word he utters in israel, every gesture he makes there will be scrutinized for what it means. did he spend more time with israeli prime minister netanyahu than the palestinian president, abbas? what does that say? why is he spending only minutes at the holocaust memorial site? is he being properly respectful? what about his demeanor at the western wall in jerusalem? these are culturally hypersensitive moments. they can mean a lot, as we saw when he refused to shake angela merkel s hands, the german leader. that was seen as giving huge offense. israel will be tricky. he ll be giving a major speech there, trying to bring israelis and palestinians closer together. they re so far apart. that s a high bar. frankly, expectations for that part of the tr, very low indeed. maybe that s a good thi for president trump. chris? bill, thanks so much for that. ambassador, look, any foreign trip of this scope and size is at least a little daunting. for a guy who doesn t have any foreign policy experience, he s been taken away from focusing on this by the controversies at home. you could say even consumed by them. explain the challenge for president trump. well, it s a big challenge because, obviously, he wants to have some affirmation overseas. i think there are two big challenges here. one in the middle east. the united states has suffered a decline in its relationships with israel and most of the gulf states. i think president trump and his team see an opportunity to solidify that. you ll see that in riyadh. you ll see it in the speech he gives. second, the situation is the reverse in europe. we have a long-standing alliance with nato, and we ve always supported the european union. president trump is suspect on both counts. his advisers, even yesterday, in setting up this trip, continue to denigrate nato and put it down. president trump has to firm up the western alliance and be the leader that ronald reagan, bill clinton, barack obama were. the relations have been weakened in the middle east. those are achievable aims if the trip is well flplanned and if h sticks to the script. a lot is being written for the challenges of foreign leaders and diplomats who will be meeting with this president for the first time. this is the way the new york times wrote about it. tips for leaders meeting trump. keep it short, and give him a win. no 30-minute monologue for a 30-second attention span. do not assume he knows the history of the country or major points of contention. compliment him on his electoral college victory. bring him a deal he can call a victory. fair? well, i think it s fair enough, based on how president trump has acquitted himself in the first several months in office. but, you know, he has received a lot of foreign leaders at the white house. he s seen a lot of people. he s had many, many phone calls. it s not as if this is his initial foray into forei policy. s probm is, he s not acting like the leader of the west. every u.s. president since truman has been the leader of a democratic alliance in europe and in asia, and he doesn t talk about human freedom. he doesn t talk about human rights. he seems to be most interested in authoritarian figures like erdogan and putin. he has to balance that on this trip. he has to show interest, particularly in europe, at the end of the trip, with our nato allies in the european union. thank you so much. to jonathan and shelby, thank you for being with me throughout the hour. we ll be right back. announcer: it s time for the your business entrepreneur of the week. michael is a frustrated musician turned urban wine maker. he started city miwine trry to together his loves. a restaurant, music venue. watch your business sundays at 7:30 on msnbc. visit open forum.com for ideas on how to grow your business. or fill a big order or expand your office and take on whatever comes next. find out how american express cards and services can help prepare you for growth at open.com. find out how american express cards and services oscar mawe went back toig the drawing board. and the cutting board. we removed the added nitrates and nitrites, by-products, and artificial preservatives in all of our meat. every. single. one. why?

day on capitol hill. james comey under oath in front of the intelligence committee saying president trump and the trump administration told lies to try to defame him and trying to defame the fbi that comey knew he had to document his meeting with president trump even though he had not done the same with either president obama or president bush because he worried that president, there tru mr. trump, may lie. he took the president s desire letting go of the michael flynn incident is a directive. he describes that as a very big deal. there is no other way to walk away from comey s testimony today, without thinking the former director of the fbi thinks the president of the united states is a liar who he could not trust and who took actions that he thought were attempt to under mine the integrity of the american justice system itself. the white house is responding to these charges and we ll get to their response in a moment. first, jim sciutto is joining me. some are suggesting that comey detailing in three times that he did tell president trump that the president was not personally under investigation that has vindicated the president. that same testimony needs to be said made some strong charges about the president s character and ability to tell the truth. that s right, the key between what he vindicated the president on and what he did not. yes, this is important. he made clear that the president personally was not under investigation when comey was fired in may. comey accused the president of lying about why he fired him among other lies and inappropriately directing h him that order was of an inve invest g investigative interest before he was fired. former fbi director james comey was barely two and a half minutes into his opening remarks when he first accused of the president lying of mr. trump s reasons for firing him. the administration then chose to defame me and more importantly the fbi by saying that the organization was in s disarray and it was poorly led and the work force lacked in leaders. that s a lie. he feared that the president might lie about them. i knew there may come a day where i would need a record of what had happened not just to defend myself but the fbi and our integrity as an institution and the incidendependence of ou function. i was concerned that he may lie of the nature of our meeting so i thought it is important to document. comey made clear that president trump is not under any investigation by the time he was fired in may. was the president under investigation at the time of your dismissal on may 9th? no. however, he accused the president of what he called, quote, very disturbing and concerning in the ongoing investigation he was leading. he said he believes his firing was base on his handling of the russia s probe. there is no doubt that i was fired because of the russian investigation, i was fired in some way to change or the endeavor was to change the way the russia probe. i took it as a direction. it is the president of the united states and with me alone and saying i hope this, i did not obey that but that s how i took it. how is he so certain? the president made sure that he was the only person in the room. why did he kick everybody out of the oval office in. why did you kick the attorney general, the president s chief of staff out to talk to me if it was about something else? that to me as an investigator is an important fact. senator of both parties pressed comey why he told the president that his comments of a request is inappropriate. you are big and strong, i know the oval office and i know what happens to people when they walk in. there is a certain amount of intimidation. why didn t you stop and say mr. president, this is wrong. i cannot discuss this with you point. it is a great question. maybe if i were stronger, i would have. i was so stunned by the conversation that i just took it in. once fired, the former fbi director made a remarkable effort to shape the investigation asking a friend to document his meeting with the president to spark the appointment of a special counsel. i asked a friend of mine to share the content of a memo with the reporter, i did not do it myself in writing because i asked him to because i thought that may prompt the appointment of a special counsel. the result comey got the appointment of robert mueller. comey made several important the so called dossier that cnn first reported of president obama and trump in january is still under investigation and including whether russia holds compromising information on the president. two, the fbi is still investigating whether trump s aids colluded with russia on the question himself colluded, comey he could not answer that question. thank you very much. moments ago, president trump ignored questions shouted out to him about comey s testimony. any reaction at all? thank you, thank you very much today under oath, mr. comey detailed many times he heard the president and his team lied about him and he admitted that he kept his notes with president trump because he suspected that the president may tell other lies of the content of the conversations. jim acosta is joining me now. the president s person lawyer spoke a few minutes ago. he took some of what he liked of the testimony and he accused of comey lying of other stuff. reporter: that s right, the president is seized on james comey s omission accusing of leaking damaging information of mr. trump. comey s comments are breathing new lights into uncomfortable questions such as whether there is a taping system here at the white house and whether the president is a liar. today the white house said, no, he s not. the president trump delivered a speech today and sounded like he s talking about himself and not about voters. as you know we are under seized and we ll come out bigger and better and stronger than ever. i am concerned that he may lie about the nature of our meeting so i thought it is important to document. on comey s concern that the president may lie about the encounter whether mr. trump is a liar. think think frankly insulting that question is asked. as for comey s comment of a recording at the white house. i have seen about the tapes, lordy, i hope there is tapes. there is in white house not answered. can you say if there is a taping system that allows the president to record his conversations a t tt the white house? i have no idea. the president s attorney marc kasowitz with his remarks. what he told privately that the president was not under investigation as part of any probe in to russian interference. marc kasowitz rejected the claim that the president demanded a royalty pledge from mr. comey. the president never told mr. comey, quote, i need loyalty, i expect loyalty. he never said it in form or in sessions. the president has confident in all of his kacabinet becausef he didn t, he would not be here. the administration chose to defame me and more importantly the fbi by saying the organization was in disarray and it was poorly led and the work force have lost confidence in its leader. those were lies. plain and simple. that was from a statement from standers justifying the firing of comey. members of congress made it clear that they have lost confidence in director comey and most importantly of the ranking file of the fbi lost confidence in their director. asked about that today. i standby the statement that i made by the podium. members are standing by the president and offering new explanation on why mr. trump was leaving on comey behind closed doors. he s new at government so therefore, i think he s learning as he goes. president trump demonstrated some untrump-like message d disciplined today staying away from his twitter account. jake, i don t remember the last time the last time the president it is still early. james comey said today, under three presidency that he worked with, there was only one he felt he could not trust. that s next. stay with us. the lead with jake tapper, brought to you by the american petroleum. sfx: engine revving (silence) then there are moments it become clear, together always was, and always will be, a better way. abdominal pain. .and diarrhea. but it s my anniversary. aw. sorry. we ve got other plans. your recurring, unpredictable abdominal pain and diarrhea. .may be irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, or ibs-d. you ve tried over-the-counter treatments and lifestyle changes, but ibs-d can be really frustrating. talk to your doctor about viberzi,. .a different way to treat ibs-d. viberzi is a prescription medication you take every day that helps proactively manage. .both abdominal pain and diarrhea at the same time. so you stay ahead of your symptoms. viberzi can cause new or worsening abdominal pain. do not take viberzi if you have no gallbladder, have pancreas or severe liver problems, problems with alcohol abuse, long-lasting or severe constipation, or a bowel or gallbladder blockage. pancreatitis may occur and can lead to hospitalization and death. if you are taking viberzi,. .you should not take medicines that cause constipation. the most common side effects of viberzi. .include constipation, nausea, and abdominal pain. stay ahead of ibs-d with viberzi. anyone can get you ready, holiday inn express gets you the readiest. because ready gives a pep talk. showtime! but the readiest gives a pep rally. i cleared my inbox! holiday inn express, be the readiest. holiday inn express, a trip back to the dthe doctor s office, mean just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home. .with neulasta onpro?

no sir. did you initiated that dinner? no. the press conference on may 18th, the president asked you to urge you to shut down the investigation on michael flynn, he responded, quote, no, no. well, there is an explanation, but i don t buy it. david, pretty strong charges from an fbi director. he was fired. there were only two people who knew what took place in that room, the president and comey. as i said earlier today and continue to say, director comey had an opportunity to go to the hill to tell other people about his concerns of this president. his only answers to three congress was i don t know, i don t know why i did not open the investigation. i think that s the bigger news here. now, comey was asked about the time which he detailed the president i hope you can see your way clear of getting flynn go and here comey said how he interpreted that hope. i took it as a direction. it is the president of the united states with me alone saying i hope this. it is interesting that he would not say whether it is obstruction of justice, that s up to robert mueller. feeling that the president was giving him a direction, that s a strong interpretation. it is the very thing on the question of obstruction of justice will end upturning, do the word i hope translate to what may otherwise bee a clear directive from the commander in chief to someone who does after all work for him, that transforms it into something far less sinister and with far few legal ramifications then that s where comey stepped aside today. i mean he obviously is a lawyer prosecutor his whole life and he has a legal opinion about that but he chose not to share it today. let me bring you into response to what david urban was talking about a second ago. lets run some tapes. senator feinstein asked why didn t comey stop to say to the president this is wrong, take a listen. why didn t you stop and say mr. president, this is wrong, i cannot discuss this with you? it is a great question. maybe if i were stronger, i would have, i was so stunne stunned by the conversation that i just took it in, and the only thing i can think to say because i was playing in my mind and i remember every word he said, what should my response be. i carefully chose the word. i have seen a tweet about tapes, lordy, i hope there are tapes. he repeated that many times. this is a major line of attack from defender of the president. if he thought it is a big deal, why didn t he do about it at the time. it is creepy and sketchy and it gets weirder. you just don t know, should i say something or should i not, maybe this will end. for us to be sitting here to think what we would have done or anybody is very tough. i am talking, i am talking i think it is very important that we actually realize that if nothing else that we are learning, government is a human place with human people. we are sitting across from the united states and the president of the united states is going above and beyond of what s normal, your behavior of what you do may surprise you. jake. awe shucks, it was a tough situation and i was taken by surprise. may 2007, comey was riding home when he was alerted to attorney general gonzalez, going on the bedside and attorney general aschcroft to extend the approval, he instructed his driver to turn on the light e sirens. so this boy scout moment that he could not that s right, lets talk about that. i don t buy that. there you have auation where you are breaking in an extraordinary situation but the context is a familiar context. you are talking about making a legal argument, you are talking about seeking tout bea best wayr the country. someone with his background is qualified for that to be sitting there to have the president of the united states saying something to you that s a criminal act. that s not a normal situation for him to be in. i am sorry, i do want to let carl bernstein to have the opportunity to speak. take a listen and tell me what you think. in your statement that you and the fbi leadership team decided not to discuss the president s actions with attorney general sessions even though he had not recused himself? what of the investigation that would have led the entire leadership of the fbi to make that decision? our judgment was that he s close to and going to recuse himself for a variety of reasons. we are aware of facts that i cannot discuss in an open setting that would make his continuous edngagement investigation problematic so we were convinced. phil, your thoughts. let me give you a technical interpretation. he just crushed jeff sessions. he did it twice in 24 hours. yesterday, he talked about approaching the attorney general about the president pulling him aside on one on one. the conversation and the media over the past 24 hours have suggested that former director 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 don t 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 of authority and there is a long way to go and now there is a credible senate investigation with little expectation that is the senate investigation is going to have credibility and resources. today we saw a serious senator up there acting in a bipartisan way and we hear marco rubio today, yes, we have to consider possibilities of obstruction here. we have a long way to go and a president who s being closed in by the most effective prosecutor, bob mueller, that we have in this. the response of the president s lawyer, making the conduct and the press and leaker and the issues rather than the conduct of the president of the united states. meanwhi meanwhile, the dog that has never barked through any of these and particularly today in comey s testimony and not once did comey pointed out did the president say or exhibits any curiosity of what the russians have done to under mind our elections. that s the bottom line of this investigation of the president and those around him is about. what the russians did and whether there were any activities by the president and his associates that is going to bring this to a really serious hit. everyone stick around, we got much more to talk about. we ll take a quick break, mr. comey has some tough things to say about the obama administration. my next guest, we ll ask him about that and much more, next. she switched to the best deal in america: total wireless. she gets the largest, most dependable 4g lte network, and 5 gigs of high speed data for $35 a month. make it rain, beth. for $35 a month. now you drive 300to be fmiles to watch this. don t get me wrong. you love flag dancing as much as the next guy. all eight hours of it. but what you really love is your little girl. yes, nice pop toss! flag dancing?

and she said just call it a matter. we had an investigation opened at the time. that gave me a queasy feeling. senator, does it give you a queasy feeling? that was uncomfortable. that s the first time that really any discussion of any length of loretta lynch. we heard of the runway incident on the tarmac and now knowing there maybe a little bit more to discuss and understand, but she had recused. you let the closed door breathing with director comey. can you give me any sense if he reveals more details with his interaction with the president. he clarified a lot of things. a lot of times he said i cannot talk about that in this setting. every member that he gave an answer to i cannot answer that in an open session but later he did answer it on a closed session. do you think president trump obstructed justice? yjake, i am not there yet. the thing i can tell you comforting is that we have bob mueller, the special prosecutor and everybody and democrats and republicans have the upmost confidence and reliability in this man who s beyond approach. i think we are all going to take whatever he comes back with his recommendations and that s what we ll run with. he s the expert and he will be able to get into it, we don t know enough of he says she says in ord because of the investigation. comey said he was fired of the way he conducted the investigation, that s why he was fired, do you agree with him? all the people involved there. that was a sobering moment when he said that, you know, he learned about it. he thought he was in a good shape of do you want to job or why did you want the job and he thought that he was going to serve out his remaining six years. it was a surprising to everybody and i think to him especially. i want to get your reaction from this exchange from the hearing. do you believe donald trump colluded? it is a question that i don t think i should answer in an open setting as i said, when i left we did not have an investigation focused on president trump. but, that s a question that ll be answered by the investigation. jake. go ahead, sir. clarify that. i could not hear in clarity there. what did he say? it said, senator cotton saying do you think president colluded and he basically said that he did not feel comfortable answering that in open hearing which a lot of people wondered what that meant. later comey did suggest not answering the question you are on the senate slight committee intelligence, have you seen or heard any evidence of collusion not with president trump necessarily but with anybody who s part of the trump s campaign. lets just say we have not heard any evidence about president trump collusion. there is a lot of smoke and a lot of associates of people helping him in the campaign and they re getting into that in a deep way, step by step and any that s involved. all the characters and all the names that you mentioned many times of manafort and all these people. we ll get to the facts, the intel will take us to the facts and it will go where it should go. all right, senator joe mansion, of west virginia, we appreciate it. thank you all. james comey testified, what is next with the russia investigation? that s next. i was always the girl with psoriasis. people don t stare anymore. i never joined in. that wasn t fair to any of us. i was covered. i tried lots of things over the years. but i didn t give up. i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. that still works. now?

yes. and to whom did you show copies to? i asked the president tweeted on friday after i got fired that i better hoped there is no tapes. i woke up that there maybe corroborations for our conversations, my judgment is i need to get it out to the public square so i asked a friend of mine to share the content of it with a reporter. i asked a close friend of mine to do it. carl bernstein. a lot of supporters of donald trump is saying he admitted of having leaked. it is more than him acknowledge thag acknowledging that he leaked. we have seen the former director say today that he engineered the appointment of the special counsel. he believes that so strongly that there needed to be this investigation without intrusions from the president and those around him and the former attorney general. but, it is an extraordinary thing, not since jay edgar hoover in our country had such e fe effecti effects in our elections and our cultures. comey knows things. that s what clears from this testimony. he knows things. he s got records that he made of it and we don t know what else he knows. i cannot imagine he took all of these actions without thinking there is something, very, very serious here and that s why we see these investigations plural. closing in on the president of the united states and the president meanwhile has gone to his base making the conduct of others the issue and tried to rally his troops to keep republicans on the hill from abandoning him. we ll see whether that works or not. so carl, you know, feelings are not facts. feelings are not facts. i will get it straight. absolutely. the comey s feelings are not factual. he said, his quotes were it was awkward, i was concerned and it was inappropriate. those things do not equal obstruction of justice. there were a lot of facts to d we ll see, there will be a big long retracted investigation over his feelings and there is another person in the room and may heard it differently. i don t think we can rush into judgment about that. the important thing that happens here is we have two investigation in place hurdling down the tracks and we ll find out both the public and the senate investigation and those involved or not involved, we are going to have results from bob mueller. does it trouble you, you just said that this fbi director had that much power as jay edgar. what troubles me is i have seen the apparent conduct of the president of the united states throughout this episode and saying not saying, lets get to the bottom of what s happening here. why did the director of the fbi do what he did and why was he in that position? why didn t he go to the hill? he went to the attorney general of the united states. he dead attempt to go. also, this whole question of run to the hill he s in charge let me let van jones answer. one of the things i think is interesting if you pull back, why did the trump voters send trump to dc? they believe they had a strong man and a saavy man and a sophisticated man and a businessman can come and bring this town to its knees and make them do its will on their behalf. within a 100 days is that this guy does not know how to win a fight in this tiown. now, come y is controlling the dialogue. donald trump when you get past all this stuff is over massed for this job and this town. supporters trying to pretend this is all some act of genius. this a man who s over his head whether he s done anything wrong or not. any time he tries to exonerate himself and he in criminates himself and does not seem to know it. that s not the chief that they voted for. anne gerund, the majority of the people don t believe him either. yes, comey is emerging not being the center of just about every moving story in washington over the last eight months, but somebody that democrats and republicans canda dislike equal. comey was their public enemy number one. he was the guy who had unfairly and wanting this investigation which they did not like to call the investigation unfairly and after the fact, he s the guy they blamed by name for having really spoiled her chances. they thought the momentum was living their way and when he announced his two different announcements about the reopening and the closing again of the investigation two weeks before the election, hillary has said really and her judge republicans now six months later, you have republicans disliking him because they think he has put himself at the center of action that where he does not belong and is making decisions on his own behalf, this criticism sounds similar. thanks everyone for your insights, peesht appreciate it. while you were headed to work this morning, some political junkies were headed to the bar. believe it or not, this morning, the bar. how did you make a cofefe, cocktail?
