clinton: yes. by the couple of issues, it was important to have bipartisan support, and it would grow out of those conversations at the dinner table. there was an understanding of those days there were certain issues we just would not talk about because we knew we were not get anywhere. sec. clinton: exactly. and it was all off the record. you would not leave the dinner saying you have convinced susan collins to do this. it was all off the record. at the heart of everything are relationships. relationships to your closest friends and family. your colleagues, your neighbors, and then out from there. if you don't build those relationships -- i told the group earlier over at eagleton that when i was elected in 2000 from new york, the then republican leader, trent lott, was quoted as saying, "well, maybe lightning will strike before she can get here." i got there, and by -- [applause] sec. clinton: by the end of, you know, my eight years there, he is sooted as saying, "she great to work with. she helpe

and the clinton family business. so it works hand in glove. it was not what she promised and arguably violated the law. trish: i have been to some of those clinton global initiatives. i always get a kick out of how many dubious billionaires from around the world are given there, but they are given an instant stamp of credibility. as soon as bill clinton has his arm around you because you have given so much in a donation. i always wondered about it. give what we have learned, i think we just started to scratch the surface. lots of questions for sure. i believe in church and state when it comes to home. when you are the head of the state department your husband shouldn't be taking $500,000 from countries that are our enemies. >> they are investigating donald trump over nothing. here you have in your face evidence of criminality with hillary clinton where is the doj? james comey said he didn't do anything wrong. does the doj agree with him? trish: james comey trying to talk his way out of trouble. we'll have highlights.

clinton was secretary of state.orts that pinchuk used the private jet and payment from pinchuk to trump was limited by former clinton advisor and fox news contributor doug schon who you may recall pulled his report from hillary clinton and 2016 saying her presidency would be hobbled with scandals like the email scandal, which is speaking of double standards, the american spectator draws this parallel to the fbi's raid on trump attorney michael cohen. quoting here. " classified emails showed up on hillary's assistance husbands, anthony weiner's computer, who is in prison for pornographic interaction with a minor online. has a clinton foundation or huma abedin's home or hillary clinton's bathroom not been rated yet? no. and as for the $150,000 payment, alan dershowitz calls it a fake story. >> martha: when you look at these two, what's abundantly clear is that these two situations have been treated completely differently. hillary clinton was treated with kid gloves and the investigation into donald trump is an door br

hillary clinton says that he cost her the white house. donald trump just called him an untruthful slimeball. now, he is sharing his story about standing at the crossroads of the most controversial election in modern history. you say it's a dangerous time in our country. >> i think it is. and i chose those words carefully. i was worried when i chose the word "dangerous" first. i thought, is that an overstatement? and i don't think it is. >> reporter: why not? >> i worry that the norms at the center of this country, we can fight as americans about guns, or taxes or immigration. we always have, but what we have in common is a set of norms. most importantly, the truth. and if we lose that, if we lose tethering of our leaders to that truth, what are we? >> reporter: i've talked to a lot of people who've watched you for a long time. some of them come out with this storyline on james comey. "here was a guy who loved being fbi director. he got fired. he's angry." >> i get why people would think that. that's just not right, though. >> reporter: we

before he interviewed the 17 witnesses and hillary clinton herself. that was an earlier under view. she didn't get under viewed until july. then it was in september when he told my colleague that he didn't just make that decision until after she was interviewed which we found out is false. we need to look into this timeline. >> he called into question his competence on not making an early decision on charges for secretary clinton. he did contradict himself. he has problems with the political aspects of some of his statements and those of his former colleagues. but is the goal to right the ship at the fbi and doj from this point forward or to prosecution and pun usual those who have committed what you and your colleagues see as criminal acts? >> i don't think you can say it's too late to prosecute. when someone has committed a wrongful act. and the statute of limitations hasn't expired, it's time to prosecute these people. it's not a political act. we need the fbi to become a legitimate organization as it once was. we need the fbi to be reliable and tr

of course, bill and hillary h clinton. the clinton crime family.ill clinton has been accused of severe sexual misconduct, harassment, even rape. we know he lied under oath. we know he was impeached. meanwhile, hillary clinton, we know she committed crimes. she should've been charged. she mishandled national secretsd on that illicit private server, obstructed justice, destroyed evidence, clinton wasn't alone in covering up her misdeeds. look at cheryl mills. she was a witness in this email investigation.ss declared attorney-client privilege in order to abstain from answering questions. attorney-client privilege. imagine that. longtime clinton aide huma abedin possessed classified information on her privatee computer, uncovered in the anthony weiner investigation. sketchy terry mcauliffe. donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to the state senate campaign of jill mccabe, the wife of, oh, deputy fbi directot andrew mccabe. and of course he is now obviously is out of that post. he got fired. loretta lynch. we would have believed the former attorney

i don't have any other reaction. >> the allegations against hillary clinton go to the dnc clinton campaign funded dossier and whether it violated federal election law. the allegations against former attorney general loretta lynch focus on the uranium 1 case, also involving the clintons. andrew mccabe facing allegations of lying, perjury and obstruction of justice. mechanics cane's attorney said in a statement that mchis client got a raw deal from comey, and quote, the report fails toe adequately across the documents, including that mr. mccabe advised mr. comey that he was working with "the wall street journal." in this case, neither of them has it right. an fbi agent peter strzok and fbi lawyer lisa page both removed by special counsel robert mule frer the russia probe after allegations of political bias, lawmakers question whether their actions that minimized clinton's handling of information amount to obstruction. in a separate development today, republican congressman trey gowdy asked the fbi and justice department to review e-mails and text message messages that suggy coordination betw

the hillary clinton email probe. while these various rogue agents were busy trying to obstruct donald trump from day one, they were failing to properly complete their investigation into the hillary clinton email controversy. during her tenure as secretary of state, hillary clinton violated federal law and state department rules, regulations and protocol by using a private email server in her new york home. she would transmit emails that contained sensitive information or classified material on this unsecured server. this use of a private server was meant to blatantly get around foia and to avoid having to turn over incriminating emails in the case of a subpoena. her plan proved to be partially successful when various sensitive emails subject to grand jury and congressional subpoenas were destroyed through bleach pitting and the destruction of hardware before they could be obtained by investigators. . the f.b.i. began an incomplete investigation into this serious investigation and according to transcripts, comey was p

the allegations he was in hillary clinton's camp.d an interest, i think the ig is trying to make the argument and making it seem like he was really going after hillary clinton. as comey said, there was nothing to be done against hillary clinton. a lot of noise about an investigation that was being actively suppressed by the justice department and within the fbi. this justice department is still protecting mccabe, still protecting comey, sitting on documents about -- >> harris: do you think there is a report that's going to come out in terms of how people look at the report? you talked about it as being -- >> i think there's going to be a lot of interest in how this investigation of hillary clinton's foundation was handled and whether there was improper political intervention. i don't understand why the justice department hasn't refocused resources on this the way they have with the improper targeting of president trump. quickly, harris, this shows you that the obstruction investigation against president trump is dead. comey was the k

he still can't get past his anger at you guessed it, hillary clinton. you want to talk about this now with keith boykin, alice stuart and terra setmier. so the president can't get over his anger at the co-president of the united states, hillary clinton. tara, he was meeting with top military leaders about syria and then he started talking about his attorney general and then hillary clinton. watch this. >> they're not looking at the hillary clinton, horrible things that she did and all the crimes she committed. they're not looking at all the things that happened. >> why does it always go back to hillary clinton? >> because she's his foil. why not? she's the foe, the boogeyman. you know how many republicans tell me they weren't thrilled about voting for donald trump but they could never fathom hillary clinton being in the white house? that is what fueled the majority of people who voted for donald trump. besides there were always going to be the 20%, 30% that were just die hard. but a lot of those republicans that had trepidations about who donald trump w

with the clinton foundation and the clintons constant obsessive moneymaking schemes. in one disturbing email, campaign official retrieved a request for, in 2010, asking for advice how to get through to bill clinton about big money offered to speak abroad. was it russia? where was it? the email was forwarded to a state department employee and even huma abedin herself. during hillary clinton's time when she was secretary of state. remember christian sasuke? the navy sailor recently part of my president trump only after he was forced to spend time in jail, sentenced to a year in jail for mishandling six pictures he was proud of because he worked inside a u.s. submarine. hillary clinton is mishandling top secret emails. this new release only accounts for a couple of hundred emails. with the 33,000 she deleted and acid washed and had devices beaten up with hammers. now they clintons really want us to play foreign entities didn't use the foundation to influence a sitting secretary of state? millions of dollars? we are going to get back to these almost unbelievable discoveri

at the tippy top people in charge of the clinton investigation were clinton people. this was a hot mess and jim comey was too busy running out to the cameras on july 5, on october 28. you were tweeting pretty heavily last fall that jim comey has made himself more politically relevant than any fbi director has done and created controversy with apparently no good cause. so i saw a man last night very shaky and unsure to answer questions. we know when he was under oath that he had a very difficult time telling the truth. the fbi had to clean up the big lie about how many confidential e-mails. >> it wasn't a lie. he was wrong. the president has that in his tweet, also. he corrected it. it was less. i think it is interesting that you and the president call that a lie which it obviously isn't but also it benefitted hillary clinton. so the president is upset that testimony in a way that helped hillary clinton? >> we are pointing out and i have on your network and other places over the course of the year pointing out that when he testified the fbi immediately had to correct

into the debate with hillary clinton.now. maybe it'll make michael cohen nervous, although nothing much seems to bother him. so maybe it won't. >> and you know, also part of this, during that interview, jill, avenatti suggested that michael cohen might be forced to plead the fifth. >> it is definitely possible, and he will be under oath. so he could get in further trouble. he's in already a lot of trouble. i don't know whether the pardon of scooter libby was intended to send the message to michael cohen, don't worry, i've got your back. you don't have to tell the truth, you don't have to cooperate, i will pardon you. that's what it seems to me the scooter libby was all about. and whether michael cohen will talk or not, he has said i will take a bullet for the president. gordon liddy said that during watergate and didn't ever talk. maybe michael cohen will stick to it. >> cohen is trying to block investigators from reviewing items that were seized from his offices last week. there were tapes. is it a crime to tape people w

clinton's special counsel cost us 70, 80 million dollars and we got nothing out of it. i think it is a huge waste of money. and i would like to see it frankly shut down. >> okay. gregg? >> well, i don't think you can put a price tag on justice. >> yes, that's true. >> i do think that the inspector general's report will be very revealing. he is examining closely james comey, andrew mccabe, peter struck, lisa page, and others at the fbi and at the department of justice. so he may find that there is a criminal referral to be had. >> kimberly, i think there's -- so many people are so angry about this whole situation. >> uh-huh. >> and they feel like all of the weight of the legal effort has been on one side. against president trump. whatever you think about what he did or didn't do, or his team, it feels like it's all coming from that direction. do you think that people will be satisfied that justice has been done if there's nothing coming back on the other side? >> no, and can you imagine the president of the united states not being able to have justice and have the due pr

attacking hillary clinton.he word "lie," i'm sure somebody intentionally misrepresent the truth. he promised congress, it's a lie and he knows it. he only said i will take a look. had he taken a look at the emails coming he would have found there's nothing there. and i believe should be president of the united states. >> harris: it's interesting how the different perspectives come back to the same thing, people don't trust as james co. are you disappointed barack obama did not fire james comey? i'm sure people would have been screaming obstruction of justice plan. >> everybody from sally yates, not involved in the tarmac business, she had the power to say to comey "don't you dare" and she did not. barack obama and the russian meddling, during the early bottom of 2016, he decided not to. james comey now has said he decided to send his letter to protect his political rear end, which is what i'm hearing. because he thought hillary clinton was going to win anyway. they all made their own decisions based on a politi

. >> did you think she was doing that to protect hillary clinton?worried me, gave me uncomfortable feeling because the clinton campaign had been trying to come up with other words to describe it. i decided i have to step as much as i like her, i have to step away from her and show the american people the fbi's work separately. heather: well, here now to retook into account that explosive interview the president of judicial watch tom, thank you so much for joining us this morning, we really appreciate it. >> you're welcome. heather: let's get your overall response to the interview last night. >> well, mr. comey hates president trump and he was willing to break the rules and maybe the law to get him. there's nothing that trump did that mr. comey was willing to credit in terms of truthfulness or concern about reputation and when it came to hillary clinton, though, he bent over backwards, everything was innocent, there was no reason to prosecute her, when you read the interview which includes material not aired by abc, he said he knew the clinton invest

for democrats, a vanishing clinton allows them to break with the turbulence that marked the clinton years. their aftermath, and terms won. the question is whether clinton will give the democrats the breathing room they need. who is the leader of the democratic party? who's leading, and name one the leading policy they will run on a 2018. >> here's the answer to the question. who is the leader of the republican party at this .4 years ago? was at paul ryan? it was not anybody who ultimately ran -- >> jason: who is the leader? would hillary clinton speaks, issue not still the leader of the democratic party? >> no, of course not. >> jason: is a nancy pelosi? >> is a combination of chuck schumer and nancy pelosi and a lot of younger democrats who were coming on scene and speaking on a platform -- >> jason: that platform, name one thing the democrats -- >> let me give you one example. remember, donald trump said to the black community, support to me, what do you have to lose? the answer, you can use health care, medicaid, social security. ballooning deficits. there are ways in which -- >> jason

he, leave the charge against the clinton foundation. lou: attorney general sessions apparently wants to be involved in the michael cohen thing which raises a number of questions. if he isn't recused, why was rod rosenstein the one who authorized the raid on the president's personality attorney. and not jeff sessions. what is he doing? ed: he's being overly cautious to the point of being ridiculous and ineffective. until he's gone and we have a new attorney general and the deputy attorney general we won't get to the bottom of the activity from the last campaign. lou: bob goodlatte and trey gowdy talking about a deal with the justice department to give 400,000 document out of 1.2 million they requested from the justice department 6 months ago. ed: why do they have to make a deal. they say we issued a subpoena. we expect it to be here tomorrow. the thought that you will let them pick and choose and select the 400,000. lou: they shall behaving like lame ducks. it seems like an toast undercut the house of representatives and its oversight au

those were the critical emails in the hillary clinton investigation. and yet he did not pursue that. so how could you be so zealous with everyone associated with trumps campaign, but then bend over backwards, time and time again, to not go after obstruction, or to not go after hillary? >> sean: all right, great job today. this is a big day. finally, now, it is moving. we are going to have more on the criminal referral, involving all of these actors. including a loretta lynch, hillary clinton, strzok, james comey, others. up next, stay with us. this is a jungle gym... and a baseball diamond... ...a mythical castle... and a grand banquet hall. this is not just a yard. it's where memories are made. the john deere x350 select series with the exclusive one-touch mulchcontrol system. nothing runs like a deere® save 200 dollars on the x350 select series tractors at your john deere dealer today. jushis local miracle ear t at helped andrew hear more of the joy in her voice. just one hearing test is all it took for him to hear more of her laugh... and less of th

he investigated bill clinton into thousand two. think fan boys is probably a little bit -- >> tucker: he said the marc rich case wherehe president clinton, he has many good points. he didn't sell a presidential pardon to a felon hiding in switzerland. comey says that doesn't tell us anything about the clintons. really? >> i don't think looking at his past, you can say anything other than he is a diehard republican. he was picked by george bush to be the fbi director. he was unanimously picked and confirmed by a majority in the senate, that's all true. that is all true. when you watch this interview, his daughters who are women who walked in the march. >> tucker: john kasich is a diehard publican and so is nikki haley, but this is a guy who has a strong political beliefs and they sort of emerged during the course of this five hour interview and an very unmistakable way for it trump. >>th if that was true, she would betr president right now. >> tucker: really? if it weren't true, she would be indicted. >> part of indicting going forw

his wife was an avid supporter of hillary clinton.asn't this the same march where madonna talked about dreaming of blowing up the white house? take a look. >> january 21st, 2017. one day after president trump was sworn in, hundreds of thousands of demonstrators take to the streets. among them, the wife and daughters of fbi director james comey. >> i wanted a woman president really badly. i supported hillary clinton and a lot of my friends worked for her. i was devastated when she lost. >> sean: did jim comey want to be the person who locked up hillary clinton while his daughters and wife are actively rooting for her to become the next president? the fired fbi director was quick to cover his back in response to criticisms of how he handled the clinton inquiry, including one instance where he threw former attorney general loretta lynch absolutely under the bus. take a look. >> did you see she was doing that to protect hillary clinton? >> i didn't know. it gave me an uncomfortable feeling because the clinton campaign had been trying to c

he investigated bill clinton in 2002. i think fan boy is probably a little bit -- >> tucker: then he said the marc rich case where president clinton -- whatever -- his many good points, he did sell a pardon to a fugitive felon hiding in switzerland. comey says it doesn't tell us anything about the clintons. >> i don't think -- he was a tie hard republican. he was pushed by george bush. he was unanimously picked and confirmed by a majority in the senate. that's all true. that is all true. but when you watch this -- >> tucker: you're right. >> his daughters that are woman voted and were walked in the march. as did jared kushner's brother. i don't know that that means that jared is against -- >> tucker: you're right. >> and john kasich is a diehard republican and so is nikki haley. there's distinguishes. here's a guy with strong political beliefs and he prefers to hillary to trump. there's no other way -- >> if it's true, she would be president right now. >> tucker: really? >> i do. >> tucker: or you can flip it around. if i

this is from the clinton administration justice department.n 1973, the department concluded that the indictment or criminal prosecution of a sitting president would impermissibly undermine the capacity of the executive branch to performance constitutionally assigned functions. i'm hoping professor dershowitz is listening. we've been asked to summarize, review the information in support of that conclusion i consider whether any developments lead us to reconsider or disavow that determination. one more sentence. we believe that the conclusion reached by the department in 1972 still represents the best interpretation of the constitution. they are saying, mr. mueller's boss, mr. rosenstein's boss, unless attorney general sessions has rejected the department of justice's position that a sitting president cannot be indicted, so what are we doing? >> sean: you know what they are doing. they are want to set up an impeachment possibility. that is why -- talk about monopoly or any type of board game, how do you go from past go all the way to boardwalk a

once he said something about the clinton investigation, the clinton people were rebustly -- you know this better than i do -- pushing to get him so something else. get him to come out because now he opened the box. now we hear kellyanne conway saying it was wrong to break protocol. he should have stayed quiet. but he why? because politicians want to have it both ways and play to advantage, and james comey gave them an opportunity to compromise in that way. >> this comes back and reinforces the point. i don't think he should be commenting on an investigation into the president -- what's that? >> that's usually the rule. >> well, exactly. and accounts why -- athat's why the swirl we're having about leaking reinforces why that's so damaging. comey is talking a lot about moral leadership and so on. i'm glad he's speaking what he believes is true. i just wish he would be more forthright but where he made mistakes and where we can improve moving forward. i honestly think he has to know deep down something didn't go right here. >> part of the confusion in this, so i got comey's book, i've g

what about the clinton campaign. they did millions and millions of dollars to the perkins law lw firm who paid fusion gps so when they filed their reports there was no frays of fusion gps or the dossier or any of that. they camouflaged the payments. has fusion gps been raided? has perkins been raided? the double standard is really troubling and it just seems that ever since the special counsel was appointed it was try to figure out whatever we can find any way and throw it against the wall and see if it sticks. that's not the way you want law enforcement to go. lou: well law enforcement, i don't even know if there is such a thing left within the fbi or the department of justice. it is a -- the special counsel investigation is a political persecution, it's no longer an investigation. this is a joke. the people think it's a joke. we're talking about 13 of 17 attorneys who are democrats, and i'm talking about -- i'm talking about ea i.d. left wing democra. these are not passing kiwanis luncheon. these folks are committe

not just obstruction in the hillary clinton case.o as you point out abuse of power and obstruction in the dossier. you are also leaving out theft of government property. now, comey said well, these are my private recollections. my personal recollections. it is not. he was on the job. and he was having a conversation with the president. and he memorialized it in a document under privacy act of federal records act. and the document comey signed called a nondisclosure agreement, it specifically says anything you do in the course and scope of your employment at the fbi is government property. it is not yours. and upon separation from the fbi, you may not take it with you. doing it, is theft of government property. >> sean: last word, sara. >> well, you know comey has obviously made a decision. he has come out. he has spoken. now he has to wait for the ig. he has a hard road ahead of him, sean. >> sean: unbelievable. good work. i have got to praise both of you because this is all -- everything that we have been reporting, you have been re

he's friends with the clintons.ver there at fake news cnn, you have jake tapper, i will let the great one, mark levin, handle this part. >> jake tapper was a spokesman for a congresswoman, or was, from the 13th congressional district of pennsylvania. her son married chelsea clinton. i mentioned that, too. does jake tapper ever mention that? no. did jake tapper mentioned that he was a spokesman for handgun control incorporated? no. >> sean: fake new cnn, did they ever disclose any of that when he hosted cnn's gun-control town hall a few months ago? i wonder if jake is going to disclose all of this on his show tomorrow. i doubt it. none of this should be surprising. according to the center fort. public integrity, back during the campaign, 96% of presidential campaign donations from journalists, they went to hillary clinton. you heard me right. 96%. all of those people, will they now come clean about their political contributions and their support for hillary clinton? what about, as wikileaks exposed, top journalists f

he picked up and bill clinton's baton and ran with it. he did more for africa than bill clinton. the republicans around him, the karl roves and the rest of them felt it wouldn't make a difference because the black community -- come on, that is sad. it is a hard issue and an economic issue, a health issue. >> what did he do about africa? >> he and bill clinton devised a plan to bring generic drugs into africa, from malaria, transfer of aids, that malaria is terrible in africa and trade. it is all about helping boost the economy. it is a holistic piece. this president really worked in sub-saharan africa and bill clinton helped him. it within a limousine ride. these things you don't know, nuances you just don't know. another piece, we had a conversation about race. we always talked about race but when john mccain and sarah palin and barack obama and joe biden were running against one another he let me know he saw subtle and overt racism happening in the country. he made me aware he saw it. he followed through with it in letting me know. the person that i knew in that white house you

on how to handle the clinton e-mail probe. to insist the fbi press forward on the investigation. the report says while mccabe had the power to disclose approving that information, he did so in a manner designed to advance his personal interests at the expense of department leadership. the white house branded james comey and andrew mccabe as two peas in a pod and the president tweeted, quote, doj just issued the mccabe report which was a total disaster. he lied, lied, lied. mccabe was totally controlled by comey. mccabe is comey. no collusion, all made up by this "den of thieves" and low lives. mccabe's lawyer tweeted, thank you for providing even more material for the defamation suit we are actively considering filing against you and your colleagues. stay tuned. he added in a statement, quote, the termination of mr. mccabe was completely unjustified in the rush to fire him at the goading of the president was unworthy of the great traditions of the department of justice. >>> pete, last time you were here we were talking about t

clinton violated 18 usc 793. mishandling classified information, top-secret special access programming information. she deleted 33,000 emails. she asked said watched her hard drive, paid her devices, is that obstruction of justice? is that not a violation of law? yes or no? >> that is why it is so s frustrating.. comey says that because trump supposedly said to comey, i hope you can find it to let flynn go, that is a potential obstruction of justice, but when he was fbi director, he didn't pursue any obstruction of justice for bleach printing emails s under subpoena, those were the critical emails in the hillary clinton investigation and yet james comey didn't pursue that. how could you be so zealous with everyone associating with and then bentgn over backwards time and time again to not go after obstruction or hillary? >> sean: great job today. this is a big day, finally, now, it's moving. thank you. we will have more on this criminal referral involving all of these actors, including comey and hillary and lorett

at the clinton library many of mrs. clinton's former counselor now on display. history on that state visit. through the visual of the count. >> does it have any impact on diplomacy? >> you can. mrs. obama had worn a chinese-american design for the china state visit to mrs. clinton or vera wang for the china state visit during the clinton administration. those tip of the hat to a visiting delegation to talk about the richness of our great country. we are the melting pot made up of people all over the world's cultures and traditions. when any comes with us we celebrate that commonality and how they are part of the fabric of america. >> it can be a big economic for the design. >> there several that i think obama put on the front line. >> she was great about mixing designers like j.crew of things your foot get off the rack. >> was that new with michelle obama? was that something you developed or might see carryover with melania trump style choices? >> over the years it became a focus on fashion. mrs. bush before mrs. clinton. that was her nemesis clinton had several

bill clinton was under investigation. hillary clinton was under investigation. days later they, quote, interview hillary clinton and a couple hours later they are exonerating her. it makes no sense. >> sandra: marie, how do you explain that one. loretta lynch saying comey did not appear concerned but he said quite frankly her handling of the probe left him queasy. >> i have the feeling we'll hear a lot from jim comey in the coming weeks as his book comes out and probably address some of the things loretta lynch said in the interview. i have no idea what the truth is. i know jim comey has testified under oath. what was so interesting to me in that interview it's a reminder to people that for a lot of democrats they did not like the way jim comey handled the hillary email investigation. they thought he was too tough on her. now the narrative that jim comey is a lap dog for democrats. what i took from that interview last night a reminder that hasn't been the case for a long time. >> sandra: you are reminded of the back and forth and the time we were waiting for any

one of clinton's lawyers. she is entitled to be in the interview. >> bret: we asked people to tweet in or write in. we have one from jay harper wilson i'm a retired fbi agent serving almost 25 years retiring in 1995 as senior equitiesive special agent please ask thursday why a grand jury was not used in the hillary clinton investigation as would be normal and why was it run out of h.q.? book did not address. >> yeah. second one i will take first. it was run out of hq because it was a case of intense interest. outside to the media, and so to keep it tight, it was worked in the counter intelligence division at headquarters. you can reasonably disagree with that if you are an fbi person. could have put it in washington field office. could have put it in new york. the decision that counter intention made it will be kept tighter and leak-proof which it was criminal intelligence division. >> bret: no grand jury. >> i'm not allowed to comment on the way in which the grand jury was used. i will say this though she was
