stuart: moments from now,
you'll see it, james comey
testifies to the senate
intelligence committee.
our next guest knows mr. comey
personally, he is former u.s.
attorney matt whitaker.
come on in, please, matt.
welcome to the program.
good to see you.
>> good to be here.
stuart: i've read, you know
comey and you like comey, but
you say president trump was
right to fire him.
make your case.
>> my case is pretty simple.
when i came into the department
of justice, jim comey was the
deputy attorney general and he
orient tated me to the
department of justice and i
would interact with him on a
regular basis, i know him well,
and what i do know, though, if
you read rod rosenstein's memo
that outline the basis for
firing jim, he was accurate.
rod's case talks about how he
took--
how director comey at the time
took the hillary clinton e-mail
server situation and made it
not just a denial of
prosecution, but made it kind
of a little bit of a political
circus and ultimately did
things...
