Brennan from the obama administration coming up next week, testifying before this committee. we expect the senate intelligence committee to have the fbi director back again to testify on these matters. you know, this is just something that i think is going to continue to be an open wound and i think give some of these members of congress power over an administration they may have felt powerless from front of otherwise, from a political perspective. go further into the argument you re making. the central point is, words have impact. and words matter. and we ve seen that today. i think that s absolutely right. this president clearly learned the question, and katy tur can speak to this as well, through the campaign he could say whatever he wanted without consequences. even if there were consequence, they were positive. he has found himself as the occupant of the oval office. and the reality is, what he said himself, at this point self-inflicted may be the right description for it on a ....
Hans, what else did we miss in terms of drama or the lovefest we just sampled there? well, it s very clear that the white house thinks there s a lot more going on between president obama, michael flynn and jim comey. the president tweeted himself that question that nonanswer comey had on whether or not comey directly informed president barack obama about michael flynn being investigated by the russians. it seems as though the white house is getting tripped up and is convinced there s a lot of backdoor surveillance going on. surveillance of people like michael flynn, but they didn t do it directly under a fisa warrant, they somehow reached them through other means. that seems to be the line that they re parroting at the white house. that s the indication they still think that the obama white house potentially directed some of this surveillance of their team, which tells us, donald trump is not going to stand down from his claim about wiretapping in a lot of ways. we heard today doubli ....
Small circle but turns out a lot of people either knew about it or heard echoes of it and stories to tell to journalists about it. so, in my experience, trying to figure these things out for decades, its often coming from places you didn t anticipate. and the reason i ask the question is because the president has berated the fbi and the intelligence community on the issue of leaks and others have berated the intelligence community and the press because of these leaks. but i think it s worth considering it s quite possible that there are folks who have a kind of political monday chausen by proxy syndrome because they leak information because they want be the savior once it blows up. there are all sorts of individuals that serve on political staff. and inc. we ought to consider the possibility that, perhaps, it is somebody at the white house. thank you. i yield back. mr. chairman yields back. mr. hurd. thank you, chairman. gentlemen, thank you all for being here. ....
Down any known confirmation of this wiretapping. we heard the head of the fbi confirm the investigation that s been going on into months into the russian ties. i think it is most important part is the confirmation that there is an ongoing investigation. comey s refusal to mention names or to confirm there are particular people being involved. and the question i wish he had been asked is, he doesn t want to tell us now who s under investigation because he s following the guidelines of the justice department. why didn t he follow the guidelines of the justice department about the investigation of hillary clinton? why was he so free to disclose that during an election campaign when he didn t feel free to disclose this election, which was going on as well? that really does raise some questions, not about his apartmenpar shallties. thank you for joining us twice in one day. let s go to kasie hunt outside ....
Definitive read out from the fbi about what they ve actually found here, if they ve found anything. there is a political aspect. if you take a poll and ask the democrats, did the russian interference affect the election outcome? is it the reason or a major reason why donald trump is president right now? democrats overwhelmingly are going to say yes. republicans are going to say no to that. there are obviously it s not the reason we re having this investigation right now, but i think it hangs in the air, and it s an unanswerable question. you can paint a very compelling political theory for why the e-mails, the wikileaks, the news coverage, all of this effected the outcome and made donald trump president and you could point you could paint a compelling theory for why hey look, votes down the stretch broke against hillary clinton because maybe she was the face of the establishment. it s an unanswerable question, but it s a major part of this story because i think there is a part of dem ....
