♪ straight ahead, the fbi director fired. >> why did you fire director comey >> he wasn't doing a good job >> president trump dismissed james comey and blamed the way comey handled the investigation into hillary clinton's e-mails. >> there was clearly a loss of confidence in director comey in the men and women so ably served the fbi >> but critics say the timing of the termination could be suspicious. >> are people going to suspect cover up? absolutely. >> now, democrats are calling for a special prosecutor to take over the case. we're covering every angle of this historic shake-up, 5at630 starts now. let's get to that washington whiplash, lawmakers still

firing of james comey >> it has been 24 hours but this is what people are talking about in washington and all around the country. tweet us, did the white house do the right thing in firing james comey? give us your thoughts, use 5at630. let's get to it. let's bring you up to speed. in may, the fbi was conducting an investigation into the clinton e-mails, he release statements in july saying the fbi will not recommend charges against secretary clinton. days before the presidential election, comey announced newly discovered e-mails from clinton's campaign team relevant to the investigation. of course, on november 8, trump beats clinton in the presidential election and on may 2nd, clinton cites the october e-mail is one of the reasons she lost. day later and one week before fired, comey testified before the senate judiciary committee and defended his revelation on the clinton investigation. on may 9, he was fired.

you could say no one saw it coming, apparently james comey he allegedly heard about it while watching it live giving a speech in los angeles >> the white house is defending its decision but reaction from both sides of the aisle has been pretty harsh. joining us to talk about all of this, republican strategist jack berkman, democrat david brown and legal analyst jessica ka jackson sloan, thanks all of you for being here. of >> pleasure is ours >> jack, starting with you. we learned comey asked for more money to further with this investigation. how do you fire the fbi director who is investigating whether your campaign colluded with russia >> i don't know that the optics looked terribly bad. i think this is kind of funny in in the sense only weeks ago democrats were making fun of comey blasted him, now he's a hero. i'll make you a prediction. i like predictions he'll run for president as democrat in

himself in the spotlight. - trump fired him two reasons both of which good, one he screwed up the hillary investigation, two, he broadened the russian thing. >> you believe he fired him over >> i think both. >> there's a concern he wasn't nice to hillary clinton, that's what i got from reading the paper yesterday >> i believe both reasons. look, for trump the main reason sure is russia but i believe the hillary screw-up had a lot to do with it. he messed that up. democrats for the first to say that >> david jump in. do you buy that? >> no. if trump, it's 100% loyalty or your out and trump loved the guy, he blew him a kiss a few months ago. laughed with him at the white house. he saw him testify this week and he said man that can guy got a bit of what my got. this passion when he speaks, people believe what he says. of and he got scared. >> jack does he have a point here? democrats were upset with him especially after the >> three weeks ago, he hated him. hated him three weeks ago >> are they upset with the firing or are they upset with the integrity of the

>> i think it's the integrity of the process. i mean, it's, as you said, he asked for more money to investigate russia. the man he asked at the justice department for that money, is the guy who fired him. so it's -- look, he -- he didn't handle the hillary clinton thing perhaps well. but in the letter that fire him it said he wasn't harsh enough. doesn't make any sense. >> let's bring jessica into the conversation. from a legal perspective, what did you see that stuck out yesterday >> listen, i think this is not about whether or not democrats like him or hate him, whether or not they flip-flopped on him. this is about the time in the manner in which this was done. there is a time in which he could have been fired. and i would venture to say republicans would have been very upset, had he been fired right after the hillary e-mail handling. they would have been up in arms, had barack obama fired him. but firing him right now for something that happened six

situation, that doesn't even begin to >> it's more than that, the other reason is russia i don't think this needs to be hidden, comey is broadening this to a ridiculous level. the russia thing gone on months, there's no real evidence against the president >> how do we know that >> we don't know there's anything there either. >> we don't know there's anything there either >> let's point out in the letter that the president wrote to james comey he said you told me thank you for telling me on three different times, yet today, sarah huckabee sanders wouldn't say when or what the circumstances were. i feel like if it's out there, by all means, >> the president is a target. i wouldn't have included that in the letter, by the way, that's the only part of the letter i didn't like, i would have 0ed that out if i were trump staff. but the president was a target. you know, you listen to -- you listen to yates, this week just a few days ago, last week, she didn't even have anything to back up there was no specific evidence to back up any of these claims she made statements >> said she couldn't say certain things because it was

information >> there were a lot of peanut butter said that >> nobody was target trump in this investigation, the russians were talking to his campaign and probably giggling about hillary, do you remember he said let's hack away, wikileaks, i love you guys. he's not the target. the problem is his campaign is. and the people who spoke to him and let his campaign >> is there any evidence that anybody in the campaign discussed anything improper prior to the election? is there any evidence >> we may have a hard time getting to that. now we don't have the guy investigating that just got fired >> is he the only man in america >> brody short on time. you said something >> i think we need to keep in mind the in fact that the person who was calling for this firing, jeff sessions has had to recuse himself from even investigating the russia >> they put this on rod rosen stein >> they did but still it's his deputy attorney general, still his office >> 94 to six, he's been in the justice department a long time >> looks like may turn out that he was asked to write

to write a letter a few days ago, when i want to fire him i can do it any moment and looks like it wasn't me >> a lot to discussing i wish we could keep this going, it's been wonderful to have you on. >> thank you, guys, pleasure. the question is who's next to run the fbi? comey top deputy andrew mccaine is stepping up. there's other names being floated. roam kelly longest serving police commissioner in new york city history, bente, us attorney for virginia. tray goudy, the south carolina arguing man who led the benghazi committee >> a little bit more on this and we see chris christie's picture up there, whose tempt lead who's in the lead here >> the politically charged interfere would

predicted something like that. a lot of oh focus from what we're hearing today from people who are intimately familiar with both the fbi and sources at the white house say out of all of the people you mentioned it's perhaps john pistol rising to the top and quickly. who is john pistol? well, he was the director of the tsa during the obama administration. now, that is an agency that does not have a lot of love. obviously, it gets a lot of shots from people who are going through airports. probably one of the government agencies peanut butter deal with most. but rewind when he took the job. tsa was in a mess, there ere investigations about lapsed security checks going on. pistol got a lot of credit for going into tsa riding that ship and advancing to technology. advancing the use of body scanners. they're commonplace now but remember they were controversial at the time when they were introduced. introducing more invasive pat-downs which, yes, are sti

you cannot argue that we have not had an air-born related terror disaster since we have had the richard read shoe bomber incident. john pistol is also a former deputy director of this building the fbi headquarters that we're standing in front of right now. dana fuente is also somebody they mention, he's the us attorney for the eastern district of virginia. he took over after sally yates was fired. there's some concern that because fuente was involved in that incidents that he may be politically tarnished, which he was reviewed as kind of a bipartisan justice department official before that, that seems not to be the days right now. but you know? jim and shawn, we spoke to senator mark warner earlier. it's clear now that we have thee move forward, somebody is going to be picked by that job. warner said in order to move on from here, that somebody has to be somebody who is both independen

and apolitical both in qualifications and their ability to move forward with these investigations that have gun. >> fitz, as i was watching a the briefing, it came up that fbi agents past and present, there are some that want the next replacement to come from within the bureau. here on one side, from sources saying that there were people within the bureau who were in tears, they were upset about the dismissal, you here sarah huckabee sanders say the rank and file lost confidence. where does the truth lie? where do they want to get this replacement from eventually? >> reporter: well, i can tell you about the people we've been talking here today. you won't see any of them on camera. they're fbi employees and they have been streaming out of that building today, and coming over to us and talking about this and to a person, they have all had nothing but glowing things to say about james comey. let's also remember that every time someone is replaced at an agency like tsa or like the fbi, you always hear this, or even secret servi

that the replacement has to come from within that agency, because agency itself is so particular that only somebody who comes of it can work in it. that might not necessarily be the case, and given what's going on with fbi that might not necessarily be the solution right here. what we can tell you is the fbi employees we spoken to here today, they're sad to see james comey go. however, they also know that this fbi has taken its hits over last couple of years and they do want a fresh start and they do want to restore the reputation that up until the last couple of years this building has been stellar. >> all eyes will be watching for sure. tom fitzgerald thank you. so in the midst of this whole comey firing, not to be forgotten, democrats still moving forward, with the healthcare show down, we'll talk about that on the other side. we'll be right back. >> james comey is fired, latest on

healthcare continues. >> 45% are in favor of the republican healthcare bill -- roughly unchanged from march where it was 43 to 43% split of approval and disapproval. >> it's interesting, we've seen the house members who are off right now, going home, having town halls, contentious town halls, people are upset about this. how are touched by this and seems that if you're looking at the ahca right now, if you're older down the road you're likely going to pay more, do you have to say pay more in into the pool? i think the question is it's hypotheticals right now, wait till it becomes a reality and in what form, let's bring in ronica cleary. you talked to senator tim kaine about this? >> reporter: yes, i did, and of course, we also spoke about james comey and on

politicians, the people who are in your area, we spoke with tim kaine about the hot topics, of course, healthcare, i caught up with him after this democratic policy and communications committee hearing, there were a handful of democrat senators, senator tim kaine was one, core re booker of new jersey also been a vocal opponent of this healthcare bilk what they were doing was listening to constituents with their stories of how obama, the affordable care act has been helpful to them. there was one story from a local man from virginia who said that he was diagnosed with cancer, paying for insurance himself and during a window, he would have been uncovered and unable to receive insurance, had that stipulation not been put in to be able to get covered with a preexisting condition. of there were actually a lot of emotions, the senators shed tears. i did catch up with tim kaine after the event and pointed out the fact that while these stories were certainly heart felt, there are, of course,

affordable care act as it is. what does he say to that? could this be the solution? take a listen. >> healthcare is the most important thing in anybody's life. why would you rush it? why would you want to ignore what these people say? why would you want to not allow amendments? why would you want to push something throug with one party involved? so you got to give the issue the dignity and importance that it deserves. >> reporter: he went on to say if we want to meet president trump's promises we need to continue to have more events like this listening to caregivers and medical professionals, people who have benefitted from the affordable care act in order to make the necessary improvements. and then as i said, of course, we have to talk about fbi james comey. really, the thing that many conservatives pointed out and people on both sides of the aisle, there's simply that

extremely critical of james comey and the e-mail investigation during the election and whether or not it affected it. is it hypocrisy? listen to what he had to say >> i've been critical of james comey, i think he made a huge blunder in the way he handled some of that right before the election. but he is supposed to be independent. i'm supposed to be able to criticize him. he was fired for one reason. he was fired because the fbi is engaged in an investigation into donald trump and his team's collusion with america's principal state adversary russia and he doesn't like fact that president that the net is tightening in this investigation, and that's why he let comey go. >> reporter: in today's press briefly, the press secretary -- the deputy press secretary said that any investigations that are currently under going will continue without a james comey, back to you. >> thank you very much. well, our next guest might be a politician when she gross up some day >> she's incredible, only in fourth grade but will answer the question
