he told archibald cox to lay off about these white house tapes and archibald cox looked the president in he eye and would not do that. no, i'm not going to lay off. and so president nixon told the attorney general to fire archibald cox and the attorney general said no and resigned. and so then nixon told the deputy attorney general to fire archibald cox and the deputy attorney general, he, too, said, no, and he resigned. essentially he had to get the solicitor general to fire archibald cox and that became known as the saturday night massacre. but archibald cox, yeah, he did get fired. ultimately, he did get fired but you know what? he got the president fired, too. he is the reason those damning tapes eventually had to be released. and nixon's presidency was over less than three days after those tapes came out. so fire the investigators? sure. nixon proved you can do that. binixon also proved the consequences of doing that in the end for a president who has something to hide from those investigators. today president trump fired the director of the fbi, james comey. and we will have rea

it's a big deal if you are coxe. coxe has to be there. he has to set an example.e has to show the fans and teammates that he's all in. he could have helped derek barnett. he could have familiarized himself with jernigan. he's sitting there with a pineapple in his drink. he's on vacation. he's not even home with his family. he's flaunting it. >> here's coaches reaction to coxe not being there. >> i would love for everyone to be here. that's me, personally. i know it's not always going to work out that way. fletcher is a leader on the football team. guys like that, you expect to be > here. i get the rules. we abide by the rules. he's one of the guys i'll hang my hat on and go to war with. >> carson wentz working with his own quarter back coach. there was a story in the paper saying the eagles have a big deal with it. big deal or no? >> i think it's a little big deal. wentz got feedback that there was something wrong with the mechanics. they have worked with high profile quarterbacks including tom brady. i can't imagine the eagles have a problem trying to improve him

>> what was archibald cox doing? he was investigating the white house.igating the nixon administration, and so did so... i think the whole thing reeks of conspiracy. i think there is absolutely a comparison to be made between archibald cox's firing and james comey. the only other person who was investigating political corruption in the 20th century to be fired by sitting presiden president. >> we knew how it was going to turn out. >> you knew richard nixon was going to resign? >> i went out to dinner that night and told friends of mine there would be an impeachment resolution in the house on tuesday, and there were 20 of them. >> kat: i think comparisons between nixon and trump were hilarious. nixon was a skilled politician. obviously didn't work out in the end. trump has been a politician for a couple months. of all the people, just because. comparisons all day long. >> henry kissinger said sometimes paranoids have real enemies. >> eric: that was a great line in "the x-files" as well. pat buchanan was in the nixon white house when this was going on. mar

also in the next hour, election campaigning is halted in memory ofjo cox.leaders took an hour off the campaign trail at lunchtime to remember the mp who was murdered in her constituency last summer. the us president, donald trump, is due to deliver a major speech in saudi arabia shortly, calling for a unified front in the fight against islamic extremism. the address to leaders of more than a0 muslim—majority nations comes on the second day of his tour to the middle east and europe. from riyadh, frank gardner sent this report. a smooth passage to the palace for president trump's armour—plated convoy. he's amongst friends and allies here, the leaders of the gulf arab states, most of whom share his antipathy towards their giant neighbour, iran. the us secretary of state, rex tillerson, signed a counter—terrorism pact with the saudi crown prince. yesterday, the secretary called on iran to stop what he called its "malign behaviour". last night, president trump joined his saudi hosts in a traditional sword dance of welcome. his earlier controversial comments appe

>> >> they haven't endorsed him yet, but they can't turn cox down. cox is not a mean man, he's a partisan, but not that mean. >> that's right. host: your impression. guest: this is from the day that attorney general eliot richardson appointed archibald cox as a white house special prosecutor. as you can tell, richard nixon was not at all afraid of archibald cox, who is famous mainly for labor law, not criminal law. he had been an advisor to president kennedy and was president kennedy's solicitor general. richard nixon's attitude towards archibald cox would change radically over the next few months, when he subpoenaed richard nixon's tapes, mainly because richard nixon knew that those tapes would prove he was guilty of obstruction of justice, taking an active part in what they call the watergate cover-up. it wasn't so much a cover-up of the watergate break-in as a cover-up of other crimes committed by people involved in the watergate break-in. host: how did you get your materials for the miller center? >> we get some directly from the national archive

cox was moving far beyond his original mandate.ating bb ra bozo, nixon's good friend. the watergate prosecution was all over the lot. i understand why nixon did it, it was costly and expensive. >> i read that part of your book. i didn't know you would bring it up, i intended to. you say nixon was intending to send a message to president nef. could trump be trying to prove strength to russia or china in the way he's handling this? >> no, nixon was forced by what richardson told us. i was in the white house, he told haig and others, he was on board. cox had to accept the compromise on the tapes and he would make sure it happened. then comes thursday or friday and elliott switches, gets cold feet, comes down on the side of cox and the president is there with cox having a press conference, saying i'm going after more tapes and he had to act. this was forced on president nixon by the situation he was in. with regard to comey, whether mr. trump did it january 21st or a week from now made no difference because it is not that big a deal. h

bork was ordered to fire special prosecutor cox.e, literally unbelievable, except that it was real. you kept saying, that couldn't be. but it was. >> i can make no further comment now other than their offices have been sealed by the fbi. >> how could you possibly bring this man to justice if it was within his power to call the investigation to a close? >> please, everyone. >> basically, the president has seized full control of the special prosecutor's office and is in full possession of potentially incriminating evidence that could lead to the conviction of his closest associates and to his conviction and that is the definition of tyranny. >> there could be no doubt this was a constitutional crisis. this was a president trying to stand above the law, and i remember thinking at the time the country is not going to stand for this. >> i think it's amazing that the country is not already fighting in the streets. he's divided the country that much. >> events of the past few days leave us little choice but to move ahead with preparation f

one of the big differences here is that cox was hired to investigate watergate.es comey was hired by president obama to be a very good non-partisan fbi director. there is someone under comey, i'm sure, who is running the russia hacking investigation. what we have to watch for now is whether the white house interferes in any way. we know that comey asked for more money for the investigation. is the fbi going to get that money? is somebody going to try to change what's going on by the probes at the fbi? that's what we have to watch for, and if that happens this is a direct parallel. right now what we see is terrible optics and a man, president trump, who is acting nixonian and acting as if he were guilty but there's no evidence that he's guilty of anything. >> in 1973, ultimately cox was fired and then give me the tapes, give me the tapes and then the ag and deputy ag resigned and a new special prosecutor was brought on and ultimately, we note end. >> but this is a great story because al haig told us at the library. we did a lot of interviews for the library. al ha

>> it is in the sense that president nixon fired ar which i balanced cox whose biography i wrote after the whole watergate cover up boiled to crescendo, cox subpoenaed these eight critical recordings from the white house and nixon wouldn't give them to him, federal courts ordered him to, he defied and fired cox. we reached a point of culminating event. this was early on in the presidency. the president does have power, for instance, to remove an fbi director, although it is rare. the fact this was tied in, however, to a potential investigation of either president trump or his own administration or campaign, that's what does make the comparison someo comparison somewhat apt. >> president trump thinks it is a witch-hunt, makes him far from unique among his predecessors. >> that's true. pretty much every president who has been the subject of special prosecutor investigations viewed them with disdain, treated them as witch hunts. certainly when i interviewed president clinton, he felt as if from the moment he entered the white house, he barely turned the key on the door and there were inve

it was the cover-up of that and the ongoing inquiry by firing archibald cox that created the firestorm articles of impeachment in the house. i am a democrat. i except the fact that trump became my president. thisoral compass in country is at an all time low. i have never seen it like this before. i don't have any faith in our political system, be it republican or democrat. i don't think we should have a special counsel. we have people in place to do the job. -- let the point where trump do what he wants to do. half the country supports him with whatever he says and does. they have a pride in his ability to do the job. let him do what he wants to do and let the chips fall where they may. the spirit of the comment is terrific. our democracy, if it is being compromised in ways we are unfamiliar with, that we before, wecountered have an obligation to get to the bottom of how that might occur and the steps we might could take to prevent it from occurring again. whether there was involvement with the trumpet campaign, i think we need to understand the source of it. i am looking for mr. rosen

the president who fired cox. the aba held an emergency meeting to condemn the action. aflcio condemned it and called for impeachment. not saying we're anywhere near that today, but i'm saying president trump has i think absorbed the lesson that republicans and congress are willing to accept almost any infringement on traditional checks and pbalances because thy view them on the political project with them. they want to decide the legislation. he has signalled his direction he will fire sally yates and the district attorney. people investigating people in his orbit. the real question is is there push back? without it, you can bet this is not the last time we have seen some of the traditional boundaries. >> jason, what would be push back? we hear talk of special prosecutor. first of all, we don't know what there is to prosecute. there is not a criminal investigation going on to harness. there doesn't seem to be bipartisan approval. you have blumenthal saying this may be grounds for impeachment. it seems like he is matching hyperbole. and you have chaffetz here. what is t

cox will have full independence as far as i'm concerned.eone else who would do the deed. >> the justice department is headed at the president's election by robert h.bork. >> forced his party to face the grim facts. >> the people that were try to go obey the law, trying to enforce the law and now they are the people that are forced out. that's -- that i think is the crux of the new crisis. are we going to be a government of law? >> and now another president is clinging to carry out his orders. it is only the latest. sally yates fired for not enforcing the travel ban just after her officer enformed the white house that michael flynn was vulnerable to blackmail by the russians chls and nrk's top investigator it was not so long ago that a president who felt looked down by the press and by elites and believed he had to play dirt toy to win an unfair game. the question this morning is whether the history old system will swing into action. >> wow. >> and by the way, john, last night the nixon library got in on the news tweeting fun fact, president

general resigned when the president ordered them to fire the watergate special prosecutor archibald cox comey was fiercely independent. >> there was a widespread feeling that there was need for an investigation. >> do you think the watergate comparison is a fair one? >> yes. what we see in both situations is a president feeling that an investigation was getting too close for comfort and trying to shut it down. >> reporter: one key difference between now and then, there was a select committee on watergate holding hearings on capitol hill. there were actual tapes recorded by nixon in the oval office promising direct proof of a cover-up. and there were dogged reporters at "the washington post" and elsewhere piecing it all together. >> the difference now is that the only one of those checks that is there is the press. and the president has spent a great deal of his presidency undermining the press. >> we need woodward and bernstein. >> right. >> reporter: would bob woodward and carl bernstein have had the same impact in the era of twitter? and so-called fake news? >> we know there's no such

nixon planned to fire archibald cox. but instead, he ordered the attorney general to fire cox.and resigned. cox was eventually fired by the solicitor general who became the acting attorney general and later the supreme court nominee. the nixon library apparently is not happy with the trump-nixon comparison's tweeting "fun fact, richard nixon never fired the director of the fbi." bill clinton did fire his fbi director, williams sessions appointed by ronald reagan. sessions was accused of using an fbi plane to visit his daughter and had the government pay for and install a security fence around his home that didn't provide security. sessions voluntarily stepped down under attorney general janet reno. clinton went on to appoint louis freeh and the two were well known enemies who said he was disgusted by clinton's scandals. >> shepard: and fbi headquarters is named for a man that got his start at bureau before it was named the fbi. that happened on this day in history. your insurance company raises your rates... maybe you should've done more research on them. for drivers with accid

. >> nixon did come out of the wood work that's when he said i am not a crook. >> firing archibald cox was the first shovel in rich arard nixon's political grave and it always, always works like that. >> some compare it to watergate. >> that is understandable. >> and the capital is filling with echoes of watergate. >> this is the mistake like watergate. >> the firing of cox set in motion the down fall of richard nixon. >> if there is an obstruction of justice it is. >> so rob, is it a fair comparison. >> there are many parallels to nixon. >> this is not saturday night massacre or watergate. look at what the propaganda media is trying to pass p off as news. watch this. >> the bizarre course two scoops of vanilla ice cream with the chocolate cream pie. tweeted one critic and the dominance extends to dessert ises. >> everyone else gets one and the president gets two. >> i don't know whether to laugh or cry. he gets two scoop and everyone else has know one. that exposed the fake news bias. you don't want to miss this. this will be the best monstage we put on our show. the propaganda is lap

minutes after the news broke that comey was fired you're seeing reference to nixonian and archibald cox and saturday night massacre. >> both sides of the ailes now. republicans very critical of the timing here and that's what is the focus. this morning a range of other former officials with insight pushing back against the comey firing. former u.s. attorney, the federal prosecutor in new york who was fired by the president after being told he was staying on tweeting, everyone who cares about independence and rule of law in america should be troubled by the timing and the reasoning of comey firing. period. >> former obama administration officials also firing up their twitter feeds. former attorney general eric holder writing to the career men and women at doj/fbi. . >> this from the former white house communications director who is also now a cnn contributor. this should not be sugarcoated. firing comey is up there in terms of the scariest things trump has done. we'll share more thoughts and reactions throughout the morning. >>> with director comey out where does investigation into russi

you know who else, archibald cox the special prosecutor appointed to look into the watergate break-in the sordid truth about that affair. cox led a long time in service and one of the fairest thinkers of his time took no nonsense and could not be bought. now the republicans and democrats are saying the same exact things of mueller. from the perspective of the stock market you can see investors think it's a very good thing. the market isn't pro trump or anti-trump. it craves certainty and craves resolution. if mueller finds out the president did something wrong, i don't know, high crimes and misdemeanors wrong, pence may end up taking over. if he finds nothing and trump doesn't do anything ill-advised to squash the investigation we can move on and the president once and for all can silence his critics on this whole issue. how can he not want that? either way, what the market wants, what i care about is an end to this death by a thousand cuts scenario and mueller gives us that possibility. if trump tries to fire mueller as nixon pressured justice to do with cox, then the uncertainty wil
