you said comey? caller: comey. comey is very corrupt, it is a known fact. they're not doing this country a favor. this is terrible what is going on. when you have young girls such as those girls, i have seen what they have done to trump. i have seen what they have been doing all along. it is terrible. for these young olympians to have to go through that, imagine what other people will go through with the guy -- with the fbi? but what they did to roger stone . what did he do? was he a criminal? come on. this is terrible. host: more from sally jenkins in her column for the washington post saying, "christopher wray dithered about improving policies and procedures, but it was not the policies or procedures that failed, it was the people in charge. they failed to do their fundamental duty. now merrick garland is failing to do his, joining the list of graying government functionaries who think an agency reputation is more potent than a girl's body. after six years of asking where the officials were who knew about the charges against larry nassar and nothing, whos

i'll give you the last word. >> well, yeah, jim comey goes off and writes a best selling book, he isng, we as society have to decide that when people leave in disgrace, there has to be some penalty, not an economic reward and a bigger platform. trey: thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you. trey: still ahead, social media is a powerful force in our society, but a new report suggests that facebook and instagram were aware of how platforms negatively impacted young women and did nothing about it. people everywhere living with type 2 diabetes are waking up to what's possible with rybelsus®. ♪ you are my sunshine ♪ ♪ my only sunshine... ♪ rybelsus® works differently than any other diabetes pill to lower blood sugar in all 3 of these ways... increases insulin when you need it... decreases sugar... and slows food. the majority of people taking rybelsus® lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than 7. people taking rybelsus® lost up to 8 pounds. rybelsus® isn't for peopl with type 1 diabetes. don't take rybelsus® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, o

that's a term jim comey used. up in early january of 2017 when it was president-elect trump, briefs him and sticks around to talk about the dossier, which is just as bogus as this connection to the russian bank server. but when comey briefs the president-elect of united states about it, that's a news for the press to run with this. this is the game. it's interesting. the very first sentence in mr. durham's indictment,27-page indictment, the very first sentence refers to the fact that this was in the news the week before the 2016 presidential election. >> martha: this was very successfully pedalled around and now there's a lot of people in the media that have egg on their face because they ran with it. you know, they continued to stoke the fire even though there wasn't a true connection. even after, i might add, it was -- even after the i.g. report in 2019, even after that, that showed that there was no connection with this server. the trump campaign. the question -- i think about the title of your book. "do what y

then james comey treated on a hero's level, not seen since captain sully, a good movie, comey writesours, getting a show time documentary, that is amazing you consider he is equally loathed by conservatives and liberals for different reasons, these folks insisted they perform their jobs without fear or favor to a political party, they amass themselves for lack of a better term when playing serious analyst on tv, you can't tell difference between don lemon or james clapper or brennan or comey, that is scary they held these positions as long as they could, knowing the bias they now display ever since. mark: you look at history of "new york times." in 1932, it covered stalin genocide. you look at holocaust, same "new york times," that is their guide star, covered up holocaust until 1944. there are 3 billion books on the subject. in 1959, "new york times" behind promoting castro. lied about the man, and his support. drew more support toward him. also been a article out that "new york times" bureau chief for a third reich. now, given that history, is there another corporation in the world

the richmond sandra fell comey also running nice and light things are looking great. a little under 9 minutes. we have one traffic collision on scene. this is in the dublin freeman area. northbound 6.80, and vargas road and fremont keeping a close eye on that right now looks like they the tow trucks are on their way to get that off of the road there. the in battle, san francisco for board member allison collins has dropped her 87 million dollar lawsuit against the school district and 5 fellow board members collins. you might remember we talked about this earlier. she just handed in the paperwork to voluntarily dismiss all claims against all defendants. she filed a lawsuit back in march claiming her colleagues and the school district violated her free speech rights when they voted to strip her of her vice presidency over tweet. he posted in 2016 about asian americans. in the south bay. there's a growing controversy surrounding the opening of a new temporary parking site intended for people who are living in rvs and san jose kron four's rob fladeboe has the latest on th

a good movie by the way, you should see it sometime, but anyway comey writes two books does media tours for very different reasons. the overall point is that these folks insisted, insisted they perform their jobs without fear of favor to a political party, and they only unmasked themselves for a lack of a better term when playing serious analysts on tv where you can't tell the difference between don lemon and james clapper or brennan or comey or any of these guys at this point. that's scary they held these positions knowing the bias they have displayed ever since. >> mark: it is shocking to me because -- and yet it shouldn't be, frankly, joe because the if you look at the history of the "new york times," it covered up stalin's genocide against the ukrainians and their boy got a prize for being in the pocket of stalin. for 12 years he was their moscow bureau chief and they knew he was pushing propaganda. you look at the holocaust, the same "new york times" basically covered up the holocaust till 1944. there have been books written on the subject. i wrote about it in freedom of the press.

you said comey? caller: comey. comey is very corrupt, it is a known fact.hey're not doing this country a favor. this is terrible what is going on. when you have young girls such as those girls, i have seen what they have done to trump. i have seen what they have been doing all along. it is terrible. for these young olympians to have to go through that, imagine what other people will go through with the guy -- with the fbi? but what they did to roger stone . what did he do? was he a criminal? come on. this is terrible. host: more from sally jenkins in her column for the washington post saying, "christopher wray dithered about improving policies and procedures, but it was not the policies or procedures that failed, it was the people in charge. they failed to do their fundamental duty. now merrick garland is failing to do his, joining the list of graying government functionaries who think an agency reputation is more potent than a girl's body. after six years of asking where the officials were who knew about the charges against larry nassar and nothing, whose

in order to cover his butt, brendan sent me a criminal referral against clinton to james comey.d he do with it? he buried it and he proceeded to use this lie is a pretext to spy on the trump campaign and to pursue an investigation of donald trump to ruin his forthcoming presidency and to some extent, he succeeded. so the people who should be indicted are people like hillary clinton, james comey, andrew mccabe and peter strzok and i've got a long list of those. >> sean: let me get your take on this, john solomon, what i basically take out of this is the whole thing was made up from the beginning to distract from hillary's email server problem so they would make up this whole trump-russia collusion they disseminated and that they are using campaign dollars to do it and they have willing accomplices in the deep state to help pull it off. let's get your interpretation. >> 100% right. in the book i wrote a year ago we talked about this poll that hillary clinton did in the summer of 2015, the money that was changing hands and the closest to the putin regime was the single greatest lia

we've seen james comey on the hill so many times. i think he's written books about it. the fbi has problems all the way down the line. they fire these two agents today. does that make a difference in holding the fbi accountable? >> no. i don't think. not from protocol perspective. not from the american public. certainly not from these women testifying today. keep in mind the investigation, the oig investigation, uncovered that these agents had outright lied to the fbi to cover up their willful -- >> harris: is that criminal? >> emily: yes, it is. not only declination to prosecute. not only for their actions but they lied. we've seen people prosecuted for longer for less. right? that's also a slap in the face. here we're obviously seeing the senate committee just portray their deepest condolences to these young women and this is a reprehensible investigation. what we need is action. at the end of that oig report they also decided to change policy moving forward for the fbi when there were allegations of sexual abuse of minors that include mandatory reporting every 30 day

it is something james comey talked about sensing the president was trying to do with him.illey reportedly learned that in the now clearing of protesters from lafayette square, which clearly he regretted badly. >> well, you could see in his demoo demeanor and months in the weeks after that lafayette park incident that he had been burned, but he is also obviously a very strong person who understood his own power, and he was not going to get sucked in as so many people did with donald trump, into this frame of being a co-con sspirator. a lot of people were corrupted by the former president because they did one thing that aligned them with his interests and his corrupt interest and felt that they couldn't self-correct. obviously general milley self-corrected, but i also want to amplify what carol said about the ongoing revelations, the fact that all of this is sort of confirming what people feared and often experienced around the president, and we know that many people were concerned that the military do the right thing, that someone like general milley stand up and secure the

trump kept saying that there were going to be charges against jim comey and other officials. none of that has happened. and it appears that the durham investigation was more of a dud, not nearly what bill barr and trump promised his supporters. >> and you said the investigation seems to be wrapping up. do you have a timeline exactly? >> we don't. we don't. but we're told by sources that he has begun to wrap up his investigation. at the end of this, anderson, he is expected to produce a report to merrick garland, the new -- the current-attorney general. and at that point, they can make a decision as to -- to -- to release some version of that report. >> all right. evan perez, appreciate it. want to get some perspective now from our senior law enforcement analyst, andrew mccabe. former-deputy -- fbi deputy director. so, andrew, what does it say that i mean the durham probe which, i mean, according to evan, has lasted longer than the actual mueller probe, how serious are they? and what do you make of it? >> you know, anderson, look. let's -- let's -- let's frame this the way it

sandra fell comey as you head out of richmond. a little under 9 for you to make it across towards san rafale and the golden gate bridge skies. much clearer this morning. so 20 minutes as you head into the city. starting today. if you attend an event at the chase center. you're going to have to show proof of vaccination in order to get insight. the city health department is no longer allowing vaccination exemptions for events was 1000 or more spectators at the arena. so that means negative covid test will not be accepted for entry. only proof of full vaccination sections disease. experts say this is a smart decision, especially with the delta covid variant circulating right now. kids 12 and under can get vaccinated. so if those kids go to a large event at the chase center. the going to have to provide proof of a negative test given within 72 hours of the event start time. san francisco police department looking for this missing 12 year-old boy, his name is sam roads. they say he was reported missing yesterday. police say roads walk

jim comey's watch. after the deadly '96 bombing in atlanta, the fbi tried to pin it on the wrong guy. investigators created a sketch of the man they thought created the pipe bomb but the fbi refused to release it. the fbi painted him as a lone wolf without any evidence. >> do you feel you will ever have a life like you had before? >> like i had before? no, the fbi and the press changed that forever. >> do you think those responsible for what happened to you have been held accountable? >> no, i don't think two weeks without pay is accountable for what they did. they violated my constitutional rights. jesse: nobody was even fired for that. here is another doozy. the father of the guy behind the pulse nightclub shooting? he worked for the fbi. dozen of people were murdered at the pulse nightclub. the father was working with the fbi for over a decade leading up to the massacre. the dad spent money to and rrl while work at the bureau. multiple complaints were made against the son. he was connected to al qaed

. >> they promised that jim comey and john brennan were going to go to prison. >> well, what happened>> it hasn't happened. >> all right. >> still waiting. >> evan, thank you very much. e elie, you're going to stick around. supreme court justice clarence thomas giving a rare speech, talking about race and the state of the country. and as the supreme court moves farther and farther to the right, he's got a warning. that's next. it's a simple fact: nothing kills more germs on more surfaces than lysol spray. it's a simple fact: it even kills the covid-19 virus. science supports these simple facts. there's only one true lysol. lysol. what it takes to protect. that's a nice truck. yeah, it's the chevy silverado. check out this multi-flex tailgate. multi-flex, huh? wow. it becomes a step. mom, dad's flexing again. that's not all. you can extend the bed for longer stuff. is he still... still flexing. that's right! and, it becomes a workspace... you can put your laptop here. i'm sending an imaginay email. hey dad, dinner! hey! look who stopped by daddy's office. wait, you work here? the chevy

the trump documentaries like the one turning james comey to a sympathetic figure came out while he wasoffice. this clinton documentary comes up 22 years later so boy, it took a long time before we saw what obviously was one of the biggest news stories we've seen in modern politics in 1998 and 1999. >> harris: we've watched it for a while. when people go down the road it's a gender thing, no, it is more. it can be that but it is more about a bias thing. because for years mainstream media, i never have called it this. they called it the monica lewinsky affair. it's the bill clinton affair. married man doing all this covering up and lying, being impeached, blah, blah, blah, on and on and on it wasn't her. was she involved, of course. but it is putting the villain rap on somebody else and they've been doing it for more than two decades. >> married man and most powerful man on the planet. she was an intern. it wasn't a one off, he has been accused of a lot worse than many folks as far as coming on to people that didn't want those advances. you would think that bill clinton would be the focu

. >> mike: jim comey or take. >> i think andy raises some good points.s is a 27 page indictment for a full statement, probably a new record to have that much verbiage associated with a simple false statement. it's an interesting read. it talks about the misuse of not just political opposition research but planting stories, planting false stories. the falsehood that sussman is charged with is for not identifying himself as an advocate. he basically came in to the fbi and to another unnamed agency and pretended to be a good citizen, just reporting some concerns about trump having connections to russia. that's the crux of the false statement. >> mike: from the indictment, sussman's file is material because among other things sussman's full statement misled the fbi general counsel. other fbi personnel concerning the political nature of the work and deprived information. motivations of sussman's clients. john, what is your take? >> i think this case is kind of a stretch. usually full statement like this are when you're a target or witness in your being interv

the chairman of the 20th is apparently, you know, as out, acting kind of like jim tony did -- jim comeyonth ago which is to say, you know, i'm better than the constitution. i'm smarter than the constitution. i'm going to safe that republic. so, you know, unfortunately, that is what needs to be looked at. what has been outlined by this reporting and it needs to be verified but he put his post personnel to verify some of it. very clearly runs afoul of the constitution and unitary executive and if that is the case, then i did not think things, get worse for general milley. when he ignored the intelligence on the ground in afghanistan and that most degrading surrender and defeat, that our military and separate in her lifetime. it is getting worse based on this reporting. >> sean: director milley is claiming that his calls with china he is claiming that they were shared with the intelligence c community. do you have any recollection in any way whatsoever that that information was shared with the intelligence community? >> again, to be clear, the idea that we would have been giving reassuranc

comey getting fired and everything that comes out after that and the efforts to sort of contain trump as he's trying to go after mueller. in those first two years, trump gets in a lot of trouble for a range of things, but ultimately in the second two years is unshackled and is truly unbound. and i think that's what we see in this last few months of the presidency. it's just the ultimate unboundness of donald trump. and the ultimate fear of those who still remained. the don mcgahn, john kellys of the world, the range of other people who were sort of buffers around the president were long gone. jared and ivanka were fully empowered, as empowered as they had ever been. and this is what we saw. you know, they couldn't get trump to do a lot of things, even accepting the election results, whatever, there's so many different examples you could name. but this is donald trump in his rawest at the top of government with few other people there because they were -- he was able to get rid of them. he was able to isolate them. he hollowed out the top of the fbi. he was able to convince his attorney

the american people want comey and mccabe and all these individuals who were responsible for this typey're not. elizabeth: so the indictment also shows that sullivan was briefed abouthill eye's -- about hillary's secret project between frump computer servers -- president trump computer servers and alpha bank. sullivan got e-mails in december 2016 from democrat mark elias about the, quote, russian bank allegations. that was just four days before democrat lawyer michael sussman took those allegations to the fbi general counsel, jim baker. so, you know, but then he's later testifying he didn't know about fusion gps and the steele dossier, he didn't know what mark elias was doing despite his significant role in the hillary campaign. he said they didn't do anything with it. they didn't do anything with it? they put it inside the fbi to go after trump, you know what i mean? by the way, will you guys hold hearings on this if you take back control of the congress? >> well, that's the key. we have to have the gavels and take the house back in order to do it. you know the democrats respect going

the richmond, sandra fell comey also looks pretty nice this morning. we'll have more on that coming up are for now. let's get back to the news. daria 6. '02, right now. and about an hour ago, the fda panel began its discussions and we're waiting to see if they make a recommendation. >> about booster shot. exactly. but even if they're authorized, there's still a lot of questions about who should get the booster shot when you should get the booster shot. the companies pfizer and moderna both saying that their vaccine still protect against severe disease just with the shots that we've had. but they say the immunity wanes anywhere from 6 to 12 months after you get that shot infectious disease. experts say there is data from israel that suggests that a booster might be helpful put for people who are over the age of 60, but at this point there hasn't been enough data to make a recommendation for younger people. the only vaccinated people i've seen personally who come into the hospital. >> and those very likely was 70 and those me a compromise, but more than

the finn under james comey seemed to screw everything up.e fbi investigators at least have a woman present, you have the fbi trying to negotiate a deal when he leaves the fbi, one agent, with the olympic committee. they are not -- they are not identifying or calling the local police. they are not calling the local da and, in the meantime, over 100 girls have been molested between the time these young girls made a complaint and the time the police and the fbi actually identifies and makes the holder on this. they say they lost information. >> lawrence: they didn't give a damn, did they. >> they didn't give a damn because they were a political organization. and let me tell you something else, i was a sitting d.a., i know how the fbi acts. what they want to do is when you have got a case that's going to grab headlines, they take it they messed up the jeffrey epstein case and they have messed up this case, too. and this is destructive to potential victims going forward. >> lawrence: judge, you are fired up. i know you are going to be covering th

also, let's head to the south bay check on that comey traveling towards menlo park about 52 minutes.y current accidents. but we had some earlier along there. to 8082 85 not seeing major delays as you're traveling there as well. the richmond sandra fell commute. that's picking up a little under 15 minutes for you as you're heading out of richmond. he had a cross towards the peninsula were seen an uptick in traffic. there. normally at around 15 about 21 minutes. so drive times are going up there and we'll leave you with a look at the golden gate bridge about 29 minutes traveling into the city this morning. daryn. james, back to you. thank you. raise some 48 in the there's growing controversy around the opening of a new temporary parking site intended. >> for people who live in our v's in san jose kron four's. rob fladeboe takes a look. >> this was the scene in north san jose on tuesday as residents of the renaissance drive in vista, montana neighborhoods staged a protest in front of a proposed new temporary site for recreational vehicles whose owners are homeless owned by the city of s

were assured by and we'll have more on that later, everyone should have seen them and amy barrett comey coming. she referred to abortion as always immoral and said in 2013 life begins at conception. here we are with the rights of women in texas snatched away overnight and the looming threat of roe v. wade being overturned next year by the very same justices. what is even scarier than that is the blueprint the court gave to any other state that wants to do the exact same thing. the majority opinion written by five justices says that the abortion providers didn't have the correct argument. quote, their application presents complex and novel proceeding questions on which they have not carried their burden. so if you write a law that follows certain technicalities you can overreturn roe. on cue florida said, hold my beer, announcing that they will consider a bill like the one in texas and they were followed by south dakota governor christie nome who wants a piece of that bounty action now. when asked for comment about potential new abortion restrictions, the florida senate president sent a

of executive branch appointments, even for people with set terms like, for example, remember james comeyset term for many more years before donald trump ended up firing him as fbi director. so the courts have usually sided that the president has a wide authority when it comes to these executive branch positions. >> you talked about, mark, the potential for legal action moving forward. you also had jen psaki saying these decisions were based on whether you were qualified to serf and when you were aligned with the ideas of the administration. spicer does have maybe a navy background, he's also acknowledged he doesn't tell the truth. he's known to not do that. and then people like h.r. mcmast whoor could arguably be qualified to serve on a military academy board, right? >> right, and hallie, this goes back to the way you put it earlier, on kind of cleaning house. i do think there's an argument that maybe on one hand you have h.r. mcmaster and on the other hand, some of the more political appointees in the trump era. at the same time, the white house is arguing there needs to be alignment. t

former fbi director james comey said of his conversations with trump, lordy, i hope there are tapes.washington post's" phillip rucker and carol lenning had tapes. >> had mike pence had the courage to send it back to the legislatures you would have had a different outcome in my opinion. >> is that what you told him the to do? the vice president? >> i didn't tell him to do anything. >> what did you want him to do? >> i thought that the election was rigged. i think that when you have more voters than -- when you have more votes than you have voters, i think that the vice president of the united states must protect the constitution of the united states, right. and it says very, very clearly, protect the constitution of the united states. i don't believe he's just supposed to be a statue who gets these votes from the states and immediately hands them over and that's -- if you see fraud, then i don't -- i believe you have an obligation to do one of a number of things. thomas jefferson took the votes, okay, just so you know. so i said, mike. you can be thomas jefferson or you can be mike pe

we're also looking at the richmond fell comey because we had an earlier accident here near the san quentin side of the bridge. we're looking at drive times of under 8 minutes. so that has not gone up for us. things are looking great and will to do with a look at the san mateo bridge a little under 13. no issues here that i'm tracking it all, daryn. james, back to you. thank you. ray is 5. '06 in the breaking news overnight. the u.s. supreme court chooses. >> not to block that new texas law that bans almost all abortions. it was a 5 to 4 ruling with chief justice john roberts joining the court's 3 liberal members in dissent. the texas law bans abortions once doctors can detect a heartbeat which is usually around 6 weeks. but that's earlier than most women even know that they're pregnant. kareen wynter has the latest. >> this is one of the most extreme abortion bans in the country. one that's already being challenge in the nation's highest federal court senate bill 8 known as a texas heartbeat act. now law prohibits abortions after about 6 weeks of pregnancy. critics argue the law greeley re

then, of course, comey barrett was seated nine days before the election. so he's a shameless hypo -- you know, he is just shameless. if i were breyer, it is his decision, but i think he should retire. >> again, dealing with mitch mcconnell, other than changing the filibuster rules, which you've talked about and you're very much for, how can democrats get what they want or work around mitch mcconnell, if he is going to do this all the time? >> we need to be as ruthless as him. >> which means? >> we have to, one, joe manchin won't get -- won't end the filibuster but he will modify it. to me, i know my colleagues. if you say 41 republican senators have to remain on the floor, and there's nine others who aren't by definition, but that means that at all points, 41 have to be there and debate. they're not going to last very long. i actually think that what norm and i have, it works. what it does is it makes filibusters rare, is what they used to be, and we can get this stuff done. we can get voting rights done. we can get how the stuff we need to be done. we res

look, there's huge questions about whether jim comey or officials of the doj should be part of the storyjust the abuse of our gymnast heroes in the american team. dr. nasser was also the team physician for a high school team and a travel team and during that eight month gap 70 new victims. 70 victims that didn't have to be molested if this fbi special agent in charge and whoever enabled him hadn't made the decision to table the case. >> dana: why isn't he being prosecuted? >> great question and that something that congress or whoever should be looking into including the attorney general and chris wray. the problem i can see from the inspector general report as they had some compelled interviews and compelled interviews means no fifth amendment which means prosecution has been sworn off. so i think that that probably means that they made a decision, somebody made a decision that mr. abbott was not going to face any criminal consequences. he could retire, it is pension and move on like nothing happened. >> dana: disgusting and not good enough, indeed. >> bill: amazing and brave testimony.

. >> because it seems kind of strange, comey is someone that you played xbox with that's a lot orderedchallenging ricky in almost very detailed recollection of the story. >> what he did which day in virginia. what he bought with a credit card >>? which security council played? to the defense times was doors a lot of detail here. but it's all a fantasy from a young man trying to save his own skin. after only 20 minutes of less than explosive cross-examination, they got him off the. stand >> quite honestly his testimony was just so bizarre. it's a strange story isn't it. it's a very strange story. >> so we could cut a sweetheart deal with the prosecution and return first testimony rickie would not be charged with conspiracy to commit murder but he would have a plea to a lesser chart i think that he was coached, many many times did give the testimony in the way that he gave it he was taught to become a good witness you think? i think so, i think that he had to do a good job, if he didn't bring in the case home for the prosecutors it's my belief that he thought he would be facing those cha

have spent five years asking the question, are there any guardrails, who are the guardrails when jim comey'sil? the truth is, what general milley testified to was that it felt to him, to save the country from war, not because there wasn't anybody left. i mean, he talked about esper giving him the instruction. mike pompeo was still there. it tells a story of a catastrophic failure of leadership, of patriotism and of ethics from the republicans in the last administration and in congress. >> well, nicole, i think when the topic of civilian control of the military is taught to future classes of military leaders, whether it's at west point or the naval academy, i think they're going to look back at this hearing, this day, and they're going to showcase this transcript because on the issue of china, what general milley said, effectively, was that far from undermining his commander in chief, he was telling the chinese leadership that there is stability, notwithstanding everything you're seeing coming out of the white house, denying the election results, then ultimately what occurred and unfolded on

. >> this comment from him comes on the heels of justice amy comey barrett, who sits on the supreme courtch mcconnell. it's laughable that they're presenting the court this way, because certainly their own biases have impacted the rulings that come out of the supreme court. but they have lifetime appointments. what can be done about it? >> the thing these people are trying to do is give legitimacy to the extremists that we see in our streets. it's working hand in glove, right? like the people out on the streets are trying to overturn a pluralistic democracy and the supreme court is saying, yes, that's also legal and it has nothing to do with my personal opinions, i just happen to like apartheid. the only thing for democrats to go after them, to expand the court and do the other things we need to do to secure democracy. but i want to be positive. this is also where america is very lucky, the extremists that we have in our country, luckily for us, are cowards. these people are cowards. sure, they're willing to go out and kill somebody for what they believe, but they ain't willing to die for
