still, after all this, comey had the gall this morning to tweet, doj-ig found no evidence that comey or the attorneys released none of the information contained to any of the memos to members of the media. i don't need a policy to defame me, but a quick message of, sorry, i lied about you, we'll be nice. sorry, jimmy, don't hold your breath. the ig report established beyond a shadow of a doubt that comey engaged in a brand personal vendetta against this president. and in doing so, he abused his authority. and while comey must be breathing easier tonight given the ag decision not to prosecute him for this leaking, he's not out of the woods yet. the ig report on the fbi russian probe and the use of the fisa warrants is forthcoming. it's comey who signed the first fisa warrant to spy on american citizens. now, based on the dossier, he knew or should have known was not credible. that was filed with the fisa court. big no no. but, if comey manages to escape prosecution for conduct that his under lings would be charged for, then the damage he did to the fbi will extend to our belief and th

what james comey has said, this is the new comey rule, that he thinks is just fine. if an fbi agent takes evidence to a prosecutor and says i think you should start an investigation, and the prosecutor says, no, i'm not going to pursue this, then the fbi agent is allowed to go to the local media and leak something so proud public pressure is put on the prosecutor to pursue an investigation? that is exactly what happened, and comey says that's just fine and dandy. i want an apology. >> sean: gregg jarrett. >> well, this was a damning denunciation of james comey for abusing his position of power, stealing government documents, leaking them, giving a classified document to unauthorized people who didn't have security clearance, mismarking, deliberately, classified documents. i mean, the list goes on and on. he should have been prosecuted for stealing government documents under criminal code is 641 and for mishandling classified documents under the espionage act because he kept a classified document in his home, not a secured, authorized place, and he gave them to people

comey. though the ig did say there was spillage of classified information to the lawyers he gave memos to. but that didn't include "the new york times." >> ashley parker, jim comey is the enemy that donald trump can't really function without. i looked at the poll numbers that came out yesterday and it's miraculous to me that somehow donald trump's numbers were higher when he was railing against the deep state, railing against the fbi, railing against jim comey, rod rosenstein and robert mueller day after day after day, and the president at some cellular level might have an awareness of that because he spent much of the afternoon attacking jim comey. >> yeah, the president is someone who his aides say, and he will admit this himself, is best when he has an enemy, an opponent and often a single opponent. so that's why when, for instance, the mueller report finally wrapped up, there was some question of why is the president still going after mueller? why is he still talking about a witch-hunt?

the report says comey crossed the line with these actions was on twitter comey claims vindication because the ig found no classified information was shared with the media. and one of his appearances on capitol hill fox news pressed him on whether he mishandled classified information. >> when you shared those memos? >> talk about whether classified information -- >> whether it is or not i'm not talking about one way or the other. >> reporter: this is the second time or with found comey went beyond his authority with his handling of the clinton email case. a legal analyst said his prior behavior should be considered in the decision to prosecute but the justice department declined. comey is a central player in two pending investigations into alleged surveillance abuse in the 2016 election. shannon: tonight claiming vindication as donald trump called him thoroughly disgraced. republican lawmakers think this report is the tip of the iceberg. trace gallagher has the latest reaction across the spectrum. >> reporter: out of the gate the white house and the president went after comey, calling the

comey. it exposed him as a liar, a leaker, and a disgrace over his handling of sensitive and in some cases classified memos about conversations with donald trump. but don't take my word for it. just look at how comey was described by inspector general horowitz who wrote that comey set a dangerous example for the 35,000 current fbi employees. he added that comey's handling of memos was part of an effort to create public pressure for a quote, "personally desired outcome," ultimately concluding that comey failed to live up to his responsibilities as director and it gets even worse because comey's own closest advisors described their reaction to his conduct as surprised, stunned and shocked after learning about the leaks. now, of course, james comey thinks the rules don't apply to him and is even demanding an apology prompting his series of responses including from former deputy attorney general rod rosenstein who tweeted "many employees dislike supervisors but most keep faith with government in

remember, comey signed three of the four applications and the original one which was october 2016 but he told trump something else in january. today they released only a narrow sliver of information, it's brutal, a small part of what will be coming in the weeks ahead. it is a stunning and harsh rebuke to the former fbi director but let's be clear, this is exactly what a few weeks ago we told you exactly what it would be, we were not wrong. narrow, limited in scope with referrals that the ag has declined to act on. all of this we reported to you weeks ago. tonight, we do know james comey is in fact not the super patriot he claims, we know him to be a leader and a buyer, the inspector general of the department of justice found the disgrace former fbi director set a dangerous example for the 35,000 current fbi employees in today's report was an unprecedented rebuke of an fbi director surrounding his nefarious plot to seek revenge against president trump. if it shows how political he was from the get-go. america's self-proclaimed super patriot is nothing more than a dirty, corrupt former

comey. i think as you can hear from contributors here, i can go over what's in the report more than they can but it was mention of this report so far. >> and chuck, you mentioned earlier, chuck rosenberg is still with us on the phone here. chuck, you mentioned being somewhat i think you used the word torn about this. >> conflicted, yes. >> what did you need to see or hear or learn to help you process this more? i'm curious. >> well, i need to read the entire report and i need to think about it, but i'm not sure i won't be conflicted after i read it either. sometimes we seek a yes or no or black or white answer and we live in a world of gray. julia's point is important as was matt's. when jim comey said in congressional testimony that the fbi closely safeguards sensitive investigative information, that was true, that is true, that will be true tomorrow. it's true in almost every single thing that they do. he didn't do it here. i think you have to look at the context and the context here sthat

this is what james comey did. this is what he did in a way, as you read this in his own words that are quoted in here. i come across saying, here is a guy who really has no sense of shame. lou: this guy had enablers, co-conspirators, compasses and they were sworn servant of the them or can people. and they behaved in the most dishonorable fashion imaginable and to this point have not been held to account. congressman, as you say difficulty to discuss it because it is gut wrenching to think that the fbi leadership has become and what the agency itself has descended to. cosman could have you with us. thank you so much president trump canceled his weekend trip to poland as a potentially devastating hurricane is barreling toward florida. president trump says he will send vice president mike pence in his place. weather forecasters saying hurricane dorian could slam into florida as a category four hurricane labor day. that would bring life-threatening storm surges along the atlantic coast, high winds of course and poten

this is james comey.ose who defamed me but a quick message with a sorry we lied about you would be nice. i'll take you back, however, to the i.g. report. what it said further about james comey in those memos that were stored in the safe in his ohm. the oig determined kept copies of four of the seven memos in a personal safe at his home and after his removal as f.b.i. director violated f.b.i. policies and his f.b.i. employment agreement by failing to notify the f.b.i. that he had retained them or to seek authorization to retain them. >> none of us have read the report if full. we're hearing tidbits of it. i would like to see it. if you look at comey is going to the bottom line here, right? we didn't find large wrongdoing and there will be bits and pieces of things he did do wrong and breaches of protocol. the conversation swirling in the last few days. those will be the small pieces. actually sounds reminiscent and i'll wait until i look at it. the indictment, non-indictment of hillary clinton over the ema

if he does bring a charge against comey, i'd hate to be comey. >> sean: i think i'd hate to be comey.s the right to remain silent. i advised him to take that right seriously. i'm just going to advise him, not only do you have the right, if i was you, super patriot, i would just shut up, because you are hurting yourself every time you open your big mouth. i can't be any more blunt than that, because i'm a talk show host. >> that only hurts you down the road. so if there was an abuse of the pfizer process, if there was a misleading of the court, by the fbi director, that is a monumental crime, and i would focus on that. >> sean: all right, senator, i know that you will be going through all of this. we appreciate you being with us. when we come back, if you are just joining us, the inspector general has broken the news that john solomon just told us. for the time being, the attorney general has declined. apparently there are bigger issues at play. more than we know about. another video has surfaced. water being doused on new york police officers. we've got the video with our investigativ

on the part of james comey.ow similar the crimes he committed worth to the crimes he was supposedly investigating committed by luke went in and we all know that at the end of that and he decided that despite the fact that she had broken all of the rules, that he decided that he would file no charges. and i really have a hard time seeing how you can make any argument other than that he believes there are certain people who are above the law and those people are people like jim comey and hillary clinton, but you bet that if a lower level fbi -- and by the time this thing is over with, we will probably see this come to fruition, lower level fbi agent or a regular american citizen or another government employee committed this level of crimes, they would go to jail. >> tucker: that's exactly right and some are facing jail now as i often stand the show because it's the starkest example of the double standard. roger stone is facing life for less than this right now. you've lived in washington, covered washington for a

comey is a meathead, he heard the fbi badly. >> the president's criticism of comey diverged from the inspector general's report on the issue of whether he leaked classified information to the media. in july 2017, he tweeted james comey leaked classified information, and how can he give up classified information? michael horowitz found comey didn't give any of the classified information in the memos to the media, prompting this in your face response from comey on twitter. "to all those who have spent two years talking about me going to jail and being a liar and a leaguer, ask yourselves why you trust people who have given you bad info for so long including the president?" horwitz said the memos were fbi property and thank him for writing them. >> these are conversations related to obstruction of justice by the president that may end up being part of criminal proceedings after the president leaves office. >> the ig report command of the spotlight work still committed to a trade talks with china. they are ongoing. >> they are talking, the fake news tried to say we weren't talking last w

pointed in comey 's direction. as she mentioned, they took linda prosecute. >> i think it points to the culture that jim comey created as director of the fbi. there was a culture of leaking. there was a culture of the highest executives at the fbi, the director, putting their own self interests ahead of the interest of the country. i think it's dangerous with the created at the fbi. where they could make the decision, inconsistent with fbi policy and doj policy, to put their own self interests -- in this case, leaking was memos -- in order to cause a chain of events that the opponent of the special counsel was a result. >> molly: i want to highlight one portion from the report. comey had several other lawful options available to him, which he told us was his goal. making the disclosure. what was not permitted was the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information obtained during fbi employment in order to achieve a personally-desired outcome. and yet, by taking this action, he essentially got with he decided. the

. >> comey who lied and leaked he's a liar and he's a leaker >> reporter: comey has become a political lightning rod for the right. >> this report confirms it. mr. comey is a meathead he's a political hack. he hurt the fbi badly. >> reporter: but some democrats argue comey did what he had to do at an extraordinary political moment >> we are better off as a nation for james comey having kept these memos and i think they will be important well after this administration wraps up >> reporter: the white house tonight is accusing comey of disgracing himself and his office as comey says he would like to hear sorry we lied about you from his attackers. kristen? >> hallie jackson at the white house, hallie, thank you. >>> the trump administration moved today to roll back federal rules on a greenhouse gas that scientists say is a major contributor to climate change the epa proposed revoking obama era regulations requiring oil and gas sites to monitor and plug methane leaks. environmentalists are threatening to challenge the proposal in court >>> next to the 2020 race democratic front runner joe

the american public is finally getting an honest account of the real james comey.i director so in awe of his own righteousness that he believed none of the rules apply to him. he's not going to face in a criminal prosecution but that seems like a common theme and one of the reasons people get so frustrated with the government -- we go through this whole thing, we hear the litany of all the things they have done wrong but yet there's no punishment. >> there was no criminal liability for leaking or otherwise providing unclassified information. that was always the thing here, people kept typing this up. james comey is going to have a big reckoning -- it was never going to happen because it never happens in this situation and that was made clear in the ig report. he didn't provide classified information or any classified memos to the media and the one memo who had something come he gave it to the lawyers, there were six words he originally deemed it unclassified and was unoriginal authority. that would be a horribly weak case, it would never fly. i'm sure people find t

and comey and trump meet one-on-one and comey tells the president-elect that there is an allegationou were in a mosco masco hotels and russian intelligence tape and recorded at all. and the president is done by this and in the past comey has said that the only reason he did this because they wanted to tell the president-elect that this was out here in a mic it reported in the press and a crazy story about you that is out there. what we see in the new report is a meticulously planned this moment in which they would hit trump with this information, comey had met with his top officials in the crossfire hurricane team beforehand and they made a plan where comey would immediately write down everything he could remember and he went down to an fbi vehicle and there was a secure laptop waiting for him and he says he started writing as a vehicle begin moving and went over to the fbi headquarters in new york and there was a secure video teleconference set up for him to talk with crossfire hurricane, supervisors and fbi officials about what trump answered to the dossier allegations. >> it all

comey defended his actions on twitter. i don't need a public apology from those who defamed me but a quick message with a sorry we lied about you would be nice. to all those who spent two years talking about me going to jail, being a liar and leaker, ask yourselves why you still trust people who gave you bad info for so long including the president. matt from the "washington post" points out today, by now, comey's memos are well known. they described among other things how trump had pressed comey for loyalty and had asked him about letting go of an investigation into former national security advise every michael flynn. >> the report shows from the very beginning of the trump administration, comey pursued a partisan political agenda and he did it in the sleaziest, most feline possible way. >> it is a turns out, america's self-proclaimed super patriot is nothing more than a dirty, corrupt, former bureaucrat that will be in serious significantly legal jeopardy as this all unfolds. >> this is the ultimate weasel. he knows what

here's what comey tweets, it's unbelievable. doj i.g.nd no evidence that comey or his attorneys released any of the classified information contained in any of the memos to members of the media. now, byron, he's focusing on the media. that's a clever misdirection because the i.g. found that he leaked classified, at least one classified document to his attorneys. which can be a violation of the espionage act. >> you know, the idea -- a leak is not just to a member of the press. gregg: right. >> it's leaking classified information to someone who is not authorized to receive it. and his attorneys were not authorized to receive it. now, i think the reason that the justice department declined prosecution here is that there were some fuzzy areas or there were questions about how much was classified in this whole, in these documents, not a whole lot. some of it was classified after the fact. comey did not link it directly to the press, and i think that this was a case that the justice department just didn't really want to make, especially in lig

comey really blew a lot of smoke.ed that one of the top intelligence chiefs probably leaked this to the press and, remember, it was the leak to the press that there was a meeting that allowed buzzfeed to then publish the entire dossier. brian: byron, by the way, he doesn't feel his memos were classified. maybe that is consistent in the comey world. the ig report is out. they are not going to prosecute because the department of justice doesn't want. to say he is not out of the woods. what can we expect next when it comes to the fisa applications? >> well, this report from -- about comey is a small part of a much bigger ig report that's supposed to come some time in late september. and it will talk about the entire origins of the trump russia affair wiretapping carter page. we heard a lot about that and using the dossier in that so we should learn a lot more about james comey's efforts in that investigation. brian: byron, do you a great job breaking down complicated convoluted situations. we appreciate it? >> thank you,

comey leengtd confidential information. and comey pursued an investigation of president trump he called a witch hunt by it turned out to be was even worse than a witch hunt. it was an effort to overthrow the trump presidency. tonight i.g. report shows comb yims reckless disregard for law and policies of the fbi as he violated protocol after protocol. in his disgrace comey does not ask for forgiveness, but an apop polly. for that we turn to. catherineher catherineherridge . her are the i.g. found that james comey violated policy. quote we have previously faulted comey for acting iewn lathe lateral lire and inconsistent with department policy. what was not permitted was the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information to achieve a personally desired outschool. comey later told congress they believed the memos were his property to share. >> i understood this to be my recollection recorded. as a private citizen i felt free to share that. catherine: but the ig found they were government property. comey used a columbia law sc

comey defended his actions on twitter. he wrote this, quote, i don't need a public apology for those who defamed me, but a quick message with a "sorry, we lied about you," would be nice. to all those who spent two years talking about me going to jail or being a liar and leaker, ask yourself why you still trust people who gave you bad info for so long, including the president. "the washington post" points out today, quote, by now comey's memos are well-known. they described, among other things, how trump had pressed comey for loyalty and had asked him about letting into of an investigation into former national security adviser michael flynn. here's some of what we heard about the i.g. report tonight on fox news. >> the report shows that from the very beginning of the trump administration comey pursued a partisan political agenda and that he did it in the sleaziest, most feline possible way. >> and as it turns out, america's self-proclaimed superpatriot is nothing more than a dirty, corrupt former bureaucrat that will be in

but comey downplaying the findings, tweeting, "doj ig found no evidence that comey or his attorneys releasedrmation contained in any of the memos to members of the media." i don't need

the fbi has determined that comey's leaked memos did contained classifieded informatn that comey failedreact. keep in mind, this was the head of the fbi. this is a guy who knew what the rules were and ignored them. he committed a crime. comey admits that he committed that crime entirely for political reasons. >> and the president said he was eager to find leakers and would like to nail one to the doors as a message, i said that. >> shouldn't you be nailed to the door, then? are you a weaker? >> plenty of people leak nonclassified information to reporters, and the white house and the fbi gets upset about it. speak of the fbi gets upset when people make unauthorized disclosures of classified information. i intentionally gave thisis information to a friend, intending it be gave to the media. i wanted it to get into the media. >> tucker: "i wanted it to get out in the media." a memo with classified material in it. what you just saw is a confession. comey admitted everything, on camera. if you are o prosecuting this case, it would be open and shut. but it won't be prosecuted. apparently, com

paul: he's lucky he didn't have jim comey as his prosecutor, jim comey. what are we going to do next here? what are we looking for next? from the ig. >> this is definitely a sign that the ig is wrapping things up. i think it was really notable that he took the time to actually issue a report as long as this on just one aspect of comey's behavior. i think that suggests to us that when he does release his report, which i'm hearing is going to be in the next couple of weeks, his bigger reports looking at the fbi's broader counter intelligence investigation and the fisa process, that it is going to be very comprehensive and that we can expect that nobody just because they have a title or held an important rank or position is going to be spared from a lot of scrutiny. paul: this will involve looking into the fisa court, the warrants against the trump campaign ad vicar, ca carter pa. tensions in the middle east escalate as the israel, iran shadow war breaks out into the open. this was me six years ago... and this is me now! i got liberty mutual. they customized

it also includes a couple of select quotes from interviews they did with comey's advisers where comey's advisers are telling the ig that they were stunned, they were shocked, it was disappointment to see that this is how comey had acted. again, this is the ig report. they sent this information over to the department of justice and it was up to the department of justice to decide whether to prosecute comey. utter mitly they decided they were not going to bring any charges and part of that was they didn't feel they could prove that comey had intended to violate the law here. so again a damming document for his conduct but not something he's going to face prosecution for. >> sarah murray, thanks much. let's speak to former deputy assistant general williams. you served in the justice department. as you look at this document here -- the key allegation was whether he shared classified information in the memos. they clear him of that. they sometime ago decided they're not going to pursue criminal prosecution. they do say he set a dangerous example in an attempt to, quote, achieve a personally

comey would have fired any worker who did what comey did.e routinely hid information from the president. he also knew about the steele dossier shoddy credibility and how the democrats paid for it. didn't tell the president about that. your reaction to what the doj specifically found? >> with regard to the ig report, i think the reaction is, almost disappointing that there can be so many violations of policies and rules, yet seems to avoid any real consequence where he is not currently working for the department of justice. it was instance after instance after instance where there is, really incredulous arguments he was making, what documents he was maintaining after his employment. it really at end of the day, reaction is shocking there isn't some sort of a tool to show a consequence. liz: when the doj inspect sore general cited quote, comey's threats to civil liberties he didn't protect, didn't live up to the responsibility to protect civil liberties he leaked to the media to get a special counsel appointed, to manufacture evidence after he

comey set a dangerous example. one of those memos concerned a conversation between comey and trump when he said the president told him to end a probe into former national security adviser michael flynn. and since firing comey in 2017, a move that ultimately set in motion the special counsel investigation, president trump has repeatedly tried to argue that comey broke the law in releasing that information. >> in the meantime, no collusion, no obstruction. he's a leaker. >> comey is a leaker and he is a liar. and not only on this stuff. he's been leaking for years. he gave it to a friend to leak classified information. it's all classified. it was totally classified. >> comey, who by the way lied and leaked and also leaked classified information. nothing happened there. >> you see comey lied to congress. nothing happens. you see him leaking. nothing happens. and this is leaking classified information. well, comey is a liar and a leak. >> and that's obvious. >> well, the ig report stated definitively that we found no e

in comey's mind, and this is comey, he has a history of doing this.lt he couldn't trust anybody. he couldn't go to anyone in the administration about this, at the department of justice. jeff sessions was the attorney general who he didn't trust. he didn't trust rod rosenstein who was the deputy attorney general at the time. he couldn't raise these concerns to anyone internally. his ultimate goal was to get a special counsel appointed. so he does this, he gets this out there, he gets this information out into the public sphere. and then what does rod rosenstein do? immediately turns around and appoints a special counsel. so i think looking back, i think people internally at the fbi certainly are not happy this is how this played out. the other thing, i think there's going to be some changes as a result of all of this in the end. remember, there's another inspector general report coming out that has to deal more with the russia investigation. likely some changes after that at the fbi. >> to your pointiuyour point, c graham tweeted out this is the first

. >> sarah, james comey is an out of the woods yet.here still is this ig report that more and probably, you have durham who is pursuing things and couldn't bring up a number of charges along the way, >> absolutely. it's not just frustrating to horwitz. if we want to go back to this decision, not to prosecute comey for leaking his classified memos. it's frustrating to the american people and i see that on twitter. i see people responding like, is there a chewed here just a system? what's going on here? i think we'll just need to take a deep breath. i'm being very vigilant and cautious. i think attorney general william barr is going to do the right thing. but i'm being mindful and i think it's very important for the american people to do the same because john durham is the man in charge here and he is putting together his case and he is working diligently, according to sources. but it's a very tight ship. nothing is leaking. we know that he's looking at all aspects of how comey was involved in the beginning of the investigation into pres

number one, that director comey violated d.o.j.respect to information and how to safeguard them, but also that we're in remarkable times and the president of the united states, senior law enforcement officials did not trust him to the point that a number of them around him needed to write memoranda, writing down every word he said because they didn't know he wouldn't lie. even the white house counsel don mcgahn -- and this is in the mueller report, there is an entire section on it. mcgahn whenever he was face to face with the president would write memoranda afterward because he was president certain the president wouldn't lie afterward. so those two things can be true. yes, comey might have behaved in a manner that wasn't entirely appropriate, but also the conduct of the president was so problematic that people behaved in a remarkable way. >> well, that's basically the argument that comey's been making all along. extraordinary times or alarming times, as he would say, calls for extraordinary measures. but the inspector general's re

comey said a sorry we lied about you would be nice.ine herridge reporting live from washington. catherine? >> the justin department's internal watch dog found that he took matters into his own and. michael horowitz found comey went beyond his authorities in the clinton e-mail case. the new report reads in part, we had previously faulted comey for acting unilaterally an inconsistent with department policy but was not permitted to release sensitive information in order to achieve a personally desired outcome. the inspector general said comey was wrong to claim that the memos were like a personal journal or diary. to get the contents of one memo to "the new york times" about a 2017 meeting with the president over the russia investigation, comey passed the government record to a columbia law school professor, daniel rickman, who he had given a special status as a special government employee. the report found that comey took home government records and what is known as memo 2. that contains classified information but only at the lowest leve

determine comey did wrong here? >> reporter: violated policy.n't circumvent the process, you don't go around the department of justice. you don't go around the fbi, and then on your own, unilaterally decide, okay, i'm going to release information because i want to see something done in this investigation. and that is that -- we know that comey wanted a special counsel appointed in this case, and so he has said so himself, that he put this out there, he leaked some of this information out there through his lawyer to try and get a special counsel appointed. and the two key things here, as you said, john, was that for comey, look, he did violate policy. i think he is fully aware that he did that. the thing, though, most important for him is that the inspector general here found he did not leak classified information. he didn't give any information to the media that is classified. so he did get something out of this, obviously violated policy is a big issue. the inspector general saying that he put, basically, people in danger. by doing something li

comey called her handling of the e-mails extremely reckless and irresponsible. >> comey seems to be claimingcation. it's not surprising that republicans have had a different reaction to the news today. lindsey graham tweeting the inspector general's report is a rebuke of a former director of the fbi. jim jordan, house of representatives, now we know why comey didn't want to prosecute clinton. he didn't see a problem mishandling sensitive information. after clearing here, he did it too. whether or not james comey is culpable depends to be dependent on where you stand politically. >> for the last couple of years now, anytime you mention the name james comey it's a political football. each party has a distinct view of this man and whether he has conducted himself in the proper way as a public official. the report documents a lot of criticisms of comey even though it doesn't document anything that could be criminal or that rises to the level of the way trump has characterized it. it's not exactly a flattering report in terms of his behavior. one thing that's important to point out is that justic

is critiquing comey for making public.you have to ask the question once you've been fired, you are now at this point you're not just the former director of the fbi, you're also a witness to really gross misconduct that may be criminal. so what are you -- is the i.g. really saying and i think by the way that he is really saying that if you are a law enforcement officer who's a witness to potentially criminal activity, you've got to shut up. >> even if you're the fbi director. we played the president's response. i want to put up james comey's tweets responding this morning. he said the ig report found no evidence that comey or his attorneys released any of the classified information contained in any of the memos. i don't need a public apology from those who defamed me. but a quick message with a sorry we lied about you would be nice. and unto all of those who have spent two years talking about me going to jail, ask yourselves why you still trust people who gave you bad info for so long including the president. a lot of peopl

he should be ashamed of himself but comey says he is owed an apology, no evidence that comey or his attorneys released classified information contained in those 2 members of the media. i don't need a public apology from those who defend me but a quick message, sorry we light about you wouldn't be advised, the report drawing swift action from republican lawmakers. >> a bad day for james comey. only in washington dc can you have 70 pages of bad news and expect an apology. >> we are waiting another ig report from horowitz expected soon in origins of the russia investigation. jillian: we will have that. rob: a couple wanted for murder escaped from a prison van by faking a medical emergency. listen to the details, susie made guards pull over as she and her husband were be extradited from new york to face murder charges in arizona. charged the guards as they opened the door and used shoelaces. it is like a movie, driving a red gmc pickup truck. a $20,000 reward for their capture. >> the dnc will scrap the idea to hold virtual caucuses. democrats consider the plan which, phone in absentee votes. and

no comey tweets, no softball interviews.et's be tougher when you get questions by a department of justice inspector department general. the truth is coming. his actions will come to light and the verdict won't be pretty." unsurprisingly, the b always indignant james comey responded writing, "i love transparency. i just wait for the facts before i talk aboutal them. i'm confident the results of all ig reports will show honest, public servants work hard to protect this country from a threat this president and his enablers won't acknowledge. and, @ me next time, bro." james comey may want to get off of his high horse on this one because as the ranking member of the house intel committee pointed out, comey could be in serious trouble. watch this. >> look, i haven't disclosed who we have referred, criminally,y but i think one could guess that it's highly likely that we would name people who leaked classified information. they are not going to act on any of our referrals. those have all been given to the u.s. attorney in connectic

comey -- whynk mr.e didn't put all his information out in the public unless he was trying to cover for himself. dragging onas been for ever and the inspector general, if he is not going to do his job, why is he overseeing it? doing anything't but covering up stuff. blocking information, the truth to come out. the: john in georgia and former fbi director responded on twitter yesterday to the release of this report saying doj ig found no evidence quoting that comey or his attorneys released any classified information contained in any of the memos to member -- ambers of the media and he says, i don't need a public apology from those who defamed me, but a quick message with a sorry we lied about you would be nice and to all those who spent two years talking about me going to jail or being a liar and a leaguer, ask yourself why you still trust people who gave you bad info for so long, including the president. from the inspector general's report he writes we found no evidence that comey or his attorneys relea

those are the criticisms of james comey.ow the men and women of the fbi are honorable, patriotic. i talked to many officials who say they don't like what's going not washington bureau, the d.c. bureau, they feel they are a law unto themselves. >> i think that's largely right. there are a lot of rank and file people. it would never dawn on them to go on "the view" or write kiss and tell books. it's what you don't want in place for the most of sensitive corruption probes you can imagine. looking into president trump and hillary rodham clinton in 2016. you expect and deserved best as an american citizen. what we got was a bunch of bias pan narcissism. good to see you. liz: the democrats really going after each other. it looks like a good old-fashioned policy debate. how the attacks could help trump and the debates are a referendum on president obama. ♪ ♪ introducing the all-new chevy silverado. with fifty industry-firsts. it's the strongest, most advanced silverado ever. when i walked through a snowthat's when i knewtte, i had

if james comey thinks he's won the day, are you kidding?he first report said he act is as insubordinate. it is as damning as any report you will ever see from inspector general. i do think they should have prosecuted. james comey is not out of the woods. you have two places of vulnerability. one is the chief justice of the supreme court because once the inspector general does the fisa report, they could very well hold people in contempt and james comey's autograph is on one of those things and the supreme court should actually hold them accountable for misleading on the fisa abuse. the second one is the report on the fisa abuse. james comey is not out of the woods on that. >> juan: we haven't seen anything about all the talk about fisa warrant and the like to this point. dana, in asking about this, what do you think should be the penalty? he did, according to the report, violate policy but they are saying he didn't break the law. apparently these memos were not classified. >> dana: it feels a lot to me like something that happened back in 2

comey? >> first of all what james comey is tweeting, is he right to talk about this classified distinction, separate from what tom laid out from the secret classifications. classified would have landed him in legal trouble. he's right to focus on that, but we do still see james comey's brand shining through, which is often different from the fbi brand. people who want to be withdrawn, behind the curtain, doing their work, and a big part of this report says that comey's intentions were not to save his country or the fbi but actually to preserve his own public image. you can see how that played into today. we see reactions from some republicans like congressman jim jordan, people critical of comey's decisions from the beginning, but i think we've also heard just on our air from former employees, people who worked with james comey who said they're conflicted because on one hand they think that he really did step out to make a lot of these matters very public maybe more public than they would ha

rosenstein are aiming at comey, taking a look at comey and firing at him when there was corrupt activity. and mr. rosensteinen is the calling that out in anyway. >> mr. rosenstein read your tweet because he wrote in response, notice how this pundit misses the point and illustrates it. >> your response to that? >> well, i think what he's trying to convey, he's being kind of mysterious here. what he's trying to convey, the belief that if you just follow the rules it's going to work out, trust our system, trust the processes, and following orders and following policies, sometimes when there is an evil corruption that is being done in front of your eyes. is not the right course. mr. rosenstein stood silently when attorney general barmaid a number of misleading statements. i think it's -- i think that everyone has to examine their own conscience, but mr. comey should not be the target of rosenstein's ire in my view. >> renato mar iot ti always good to see you. >>> 21 million residents in the path of a monster storm. we're tracking dorian as a state of emergency is issued for all of florida, s

james comey has tweeted that he is exonerated. and obviously the trump team is tweeting that he's the worst guy in the world. >> reporter: it is kind of an ink blot test for where you are in the political spectrum and how you view this report that, frankly, as julia ainsley pointed out, does blast james comey. it's not just the president himself tweeting in his campaign talking about this. we now have in just the last couple of minutes a formal statement from the white house press secretary very frankly saying james comey in her view is a proven liar and leaker. stephanie grisham goes on to say that because could emmy in her words shamefully leaked information to the press in blatant violation of fbi policies, the nation was forced to endure a politically motivated two-year witch hunt going on to say the inspector general said he violated the most basic obligations of confidentiality that he owed to the united states government and to the american people. that last bit is a direct quote from the report referring to how comey has a
