the f.b.i. raid of his personal lawyer last week mr cohen has also sparked a lot of nervousness in the white house and particularly for the president himself he is asking to know what evidence was gathered in those raids of course the implication is they want to prepare themselves for whatever might be coming down the pipeline so you've got a president becoming increasingly nervous and agitated i suppose you could say let's listen to what komi himself had to say when asked if the russians had any compromising information on donald trump i mean these are more words i never thought i utter about a president on stage but it's possible and i wish i wasn't saying it but it's just it's the truth it always struck me and still strikes me as unlikely and i would have been able to say with high confidence about any other president i'd go with but i can't it's possible. former f.b.i. director casting doubt on trump suggesting that the russians might have some incriminating. evidence what do you make of tha

and f.b.i. first there was f.b.i. agent peter struck, the chief of the f.b.i.'s counterespionage section. additionally, there was agent struck's mistress, f.b.i. counsel lisa paige, aside from the fact that they were in love, it is important to note that these two individuals exchanged many texts detailing their personal biases, overcoming their better judgment in performance of their duties. text messages exchanged between struck and paige during the period of august 16, 2015, to may 17, 2017, show substantial evidence of politicizing federal law enforcement and improperly handling investigations within the agency. the texts contain egregious evidence of bias against president trump before and after the november, 2016, election. paige would write, quote, trump should go f himself, end quote. struck would teth text, quote, f trump. that's barely even starting to scratch the surface with those two. it's also worth noting that their texts for some reason were not stored within the f.b.i. archive system. an agriegious oversight blamed on a technical glitch. even af

the f.b.i. this is our nation's premier law enforcement agency and i want to speak about the men and women who distinguish it. first, i want to refer to an opinion piece in "the new york times" that talks about the former director of the f.b.i., james comey. as the article is entitled, "the tragedy of james comey," the story has both positive things to say about mr. comey, well deserved, but also some criticism which i would suggest is also well deserved. perhaps all of us exhibit both positive and negative attributes, and all of us make mistakes, and i don't mean to pick on mr. comey primarily because it lays the foundation of what i want to say. in the first line of "the new york times" article, james comey is about to become ewe bitus -- ubiquitous, he will be on interviews with steven he c obae and he will be everywhere, we expect him to tell his story from his perspective. as a preface of what i want to say about the rank and file about the men and women in the f.b.i., let me read a couple

and f.b.i.ave been so diligent at sort of protecting their own tails and keeping information from winding up in congress's hands. their argument would be congress leaks worse than anybody. as soon as they reveal anything to congress it gets out into the public. but the problem is you are talking about very serious issues here, accusations among several of the players here not only about leaking and things like that but also about pressure to end an investigation into the clinton foundation, for example. that's a serious, serious charge. >> bill: and the charges at least audibly that you hear from the republican side is we want to see the information you aren't allowing us. that seems to be the consistent theme. now you have a group of republicans that say give it to us or we'll impeach rod rosenstein. can they do that? >> yes. >> bill: has that ever happened? >> i don't know that it's ever happened at that level but they absolutely can and they absolutely can -- we already saw earlier i guess it

the f.b.i.'s -- the criticisms of the f.b.i.t jim comey and the organization was involved in helping decide the election is troubling. and the notion of the f.b.i. as entertainment now on the back end of that a year later is, i think, very concerning to men and women who work so hard to preserve the f.b.i. as an independent organization. >> bill: how well do you think you know james comey? >> i worked for jim comey for eight months. he took over for bob mueller. i worked closely with jim. i liked him. >> bill: back up a little bit and answer your question. why do you think he is approaching it this way? >> you know, good question. if you look at the history here of the july 5th press conference that was extraordinary. and had i done that as a senior executive in a similar way, i would have feared being fired for it and expected to be fired for it. >> bill: the press conference about hillary clinton's email investigation, right? >> that's right. and then you go forward to the leaks later that year again shocking to those of us wh

>> well, the f.b.i.st inating whether there were americans who had confired with or aided and abetted the russians. collusion is not a legal term that i'm aware of there was a basis for investigating meaning there were facts to support an investigate. the what the conclusions will be, i don't know, but to say there was not evidence is the case. >> woodruff: the house college coittee is faulting the f.b.i. for failing to properly notify victims rusan hacking. did the f.b.i. drop the ball sthrveghts i don't think so. we had a massive nosk totify hundreds and hundreds, so i can't sit here and say we did it perfectly every time, but especially with the prominent victims like the democratic national committee, we did our level best to make sewer they knew they were beinattacked. >> woodruff: do you think the ibama administration dropped the ball in not ng more to get the russians to back off? t hard to say because a l was not involved in. very tough decision for president obama. what do you say before an elec

if members of the f.b.i. are leaking classified information, the president should absolutely call that to question. you guys spend hours upon hours every single day praising jim comey, propping him up, giving him the biggest platform. we shouldn't be praising him. we should be putting him down. we should be taking him off of air instead of giving him minute after minute. this country has real problems. we should be talking about the economy. we should talk about syria. we should talk about the drug crisis. instead we're going to talk about jim comey. you guys will cover it endlessly all day today, all day tomorrow and my guess is every day next week with very little time given to the issues people care about. so the president has every right to call out that individual that you guys are propping up and say there are problems and that we should be concerned about. charlie. reporter: thank you, sarah. this morning james comey admitted that he didn't tell the president about the political -- sarah: sorry. can yo

the f.b.i. gathered that evidence as well. yet under robert mueller who came in immediately before 9/11, you would have thought that this man would have enough wisdom fter seeing the tragedy befall thousands of americans. what does he do? he crawls in bed with cair, one in he named co-conspirators the holy land foundation trial, wants to others, and placate them at all costs. they wanted his training materials that helped f.b.i. agents understand what to look for in trying to find the radical islamist terrorist. they wanted those materials purged, cleaned out of anything that might help educate our f.b.i. agents as to what to look for in radical islamists and f.b.i. director robert mueller obliged. and there was nothing that, i think, draws the distinction bout how wrongheaded he was as f.b.i. director than his responses when i was asking him about the heads up that they had gotten over the tsarnaev, the older brother, who was the main boston bomber, killed and maimed so many people, totally preventable if robert mueller had a

and so did the contradiction that we see of the f.b.i. tweeting that out in two thousand and seven does not think it highlights the pock sea but also having a life there a way in which the american public discourse and the american empire will lie about the issue really so where. that's right well in parts i just want to reinforce that right all all employers in this kind of hypocrisy they all engage in this attempt to co-opt and distort the memories of some of their greatest i've also made to make a really good point because fifty years later how do people remember something to me ask you it's me he has a holiday he asked people volunteering for his day he has a statue it's very difficult even even when it's not something his controversial to remember them accurately i know it's important that today social movements are important to you to discuss let me just show you a little clip of dr king several clips of dr king looking at the social justice movements he was very close to have that. this. received be the way he really. and when whit

fully bed during king's life he was really hated by a lot of kind of mainstream political leaders by f.b.i. agents by the most of the kind of narratives that we're thinking about today in terms of the color blindness post racialism a lot of that was leveraged against people like martin luther king jr and still today were fifty years as out from his assassination in a lot of cases we we had this kind of ideal it romanticized idea of who he was because that's a really more comfortable way of remembering him is sometimes we call it whitewashed or we call it. a more easy kind of learning right so it's very hard to learn that this person who was going to nobel peace prize was someone that was also hated in that head of his home bombed after he had his first child right that's not a really good narrative about america but it is the truth and it is the real history behind him and his legacy wherever and i'm just thinking about you looking at another pastor and another pastor who was a radical and then seeing the way that he's remembered today does equate feel a little. well i think the path of ou

that was not something for an f.b.i.: right. >> that was something for an attorney general to do or in the absence of the attorney general the deputy attorney general. >> trevor: right. >> he was out of his lane when he did that. and that i think had an impact on the election. i don't think that's the sole thing that caused hillary's defeat but it certainly had an impact on the election. >> trevor: and you're outspoken about this. you said he made a mistake and said it was something that would give the f.b.i. a bad name. the president of the united states currently says the f.b.i. has a bad name. do you think donald trump then has a right to say, guys, the f.b.i. has problems because of everything that james comey and his fellow f.b.i. agents have done? >> no. i mean, i think the president's criticism of people in law enforcement, prosecutors, f.b.i. agents, is unwarranted, it's inconsistent with the facts. i mean, i work with these folks almost all of my professional career. they're hard working, dedicated. you know, yo

the members of the f.b.i. that perhaps you you know will react to the the level of intensity shall we say in the allegations that james komi is making in his book i've spoken to a number of active and retired f.b.i. agents for quite some time over the past year they feel that the f.b.i. director compromised and politicized and weaponized the f.b.i. joining the election between donald trump and hillary clinton in an effort to damage president donald trump look you're got to remember that when director komi was testifying before congress he conducted an investigation and point by point he led us to believe that there was enough evidence to indict hillary clinton what does he do he decides to recommend to the department of justice no indictment that was not his job his job was to collect evidence give it to attorney general lynch at that time and then she would make the decision whether a clinton would be indicted or not what james komi did was exceed his authority and actually fell on the sword for the obama adm

former f.b.i. director james comey it says that donald trump is morally unfit to be president of the united states he was speaking in it in if in an interview on american t.v. as part of a publicity campaign for his new book which is being released on tuesday now ahead of that t.v. interview trump blasted call me on twitter calling him quote a slime ball. it's all out war between the u.s. president and james komi. in a publicist he blitz for a searing tell all memoir the former f.b.i. boss launched an intensely personal attack on trump what was your impression he had impressively hair that looks to be all his i confess i stared at it pretty closely and my reaction was let's take a look at what time in the morning star was too long as it always is he looked slightly orange up close with small white. half moons under his eyes but message was serious trump poses a danger to the us system of government he calls the president a liar obsessed with spins going on i don't think he's medically unfit to be p

the f.b.i. cleared the book.s a false statement. >> rick: juan williams is co-host of the five. matt schlapp. thank you for being here. the squirm moment was bret challenged the memos that he wrote after meeting with the president as f.b.i. director in the white house and he called it his personal diary, juan, how do you defend that? >> i think that's what it is according to mr. comey. he was the f.b.i. director and said it was not classified. never was classified and in fact he argued that the f.b.i. had to approve his book and the memos are in the book. >> rick: but it is government business, is it not, matt? >> i worked at the white house for four years. when i left they told me i can take no emails, i can take no memos or paper with me. i was a lower staffer. the idea that he concocted memos for the sole purpose of prosecuting a case against donald trump in the press is a violation of the oath he took, the pledge with taxpayers, and this charade has to stop. this is a disgusting display of explaining what his

this tweet here today on the anniversary of his assassination the f.b.i. honors the life work and commitment of dr martin luther king jr to justice and then there's a quote here and what is this what is this guilt is this are we finally seen the way it's bizarre is this not the point me of a rebranding of dr king the f.b.i. has saying we honor you you're a great man now that you've passed away for many years what was going on there. is the amnesia so that. everybody the united states lives in a state of perpetual amnesia and the only way that they can get away with that is because of our a hipster a city that we don't you know we are we are divorced from an understanding of our own history not the only way they could think they could get away with something as outrageous as a reference to had also. how did the raf reffing into itself . jen you confess i didn't come out to say i'm going to add i want to add i do think is historical it is this kind of idea that they are trying to also sanitize their own history because there are articles right now about the

in a statement, the f.b.i. is saying, "the f.b.i. received the reference letter from chairman nunes and we are reviewing it to determine the next steps. as a general matter, before f.b.i. records may be released outside the f.b.i. to include congressional committees they must first undergo the standard review and redaction process to ensure that statutorily restricted information such as grand jury material, classified material, sensitive law enforcement material, and other privileged material is not improperly disposed." okay. they first asked this in august of 2017. they have had plenty of time to do their job. you want to protect classified information? why did you give hillary a pass? why did you exonerate her without investigating her? it sounds like here the f.b.i. is going to again refuse to comply with the request to turn over unredacted documents. chairman nunes is given the bureau, the d.o.j. until next wednesday to cooperate and he is going to issue subpoenas. i have a better idea. how about we hold rod rosenstein in conte

director or former f.b.i.r to do that, i understand it because he's also telling a story, and when you tell a ory, to bring in your reader, you add some color, u add observations. a legal brief wouldn't sell very well. will.l.t this book >> woodruff: and in connection with that there's been real pushback. the white house is saying this is juste an effort to sell his books. resident has used strong language, called him a slime ball. what do you make of this? he's basically gotten mself into a new war with the president. >> yeah, those terms e deeply, deeply unfortunate, and i don't think they befit the office of the president. lo, i'll say this, i've phone jim comey fo25 years, a a friend, a colleague, as a boss. he has his faults, we all do. he has flaws, we all do. he can be stubborn, he can be head strong, he has a healthy ego, but in 25 years, i have never -- i should repeat never -- known jim to tean thing but the truth. he's a truth teller, and that's what i see in the book. stories i already knew because

the f.b.i. refusing to hand over these documents, senator? >> we have our own deadlines for my committee in terms of request for information as well. i sent a letter to attorney general sessions, to rod rosenstein and inspector general horowitz about the redacted text messages that shouldn't have been redacted. i'm starting to do an investigation in terms of who is doing these redactions? who in the f.b.i. is making these decisions? i think it's a real problem there as well. i don't know whether the attorney general has attorney over his own f.b.i. or whether the f.b.i. director does as well. this is a huge problem and it is a problem for a number of committees both the house and senate and we'll get to the bottom of this. it may take time but we're going to be very diligent in our efforts to get to the bottom of this. >> sandra: it has been stressful for digging into. there was a piece in the "wall street journal" this morning titled what is the f.b.i. hiding? she concludes her piece by saying

president donald trump has described his former f.b.i. director james comey as an untruthful slimeball after details emerged of a no holds barred memoir due out next week president trump fired mr comey because he was said to be unhappy with this ugly of the f.b.i. investigation into allegations of russian interference in the twenty sixteen u.s. elections with his new book mr comey gets his revenge. a higher loyalty as james comey scathing reckoning with his former boss a man he accuses of acting like a mafia don but being driven solely by his ego with no moral compass and no regard for the truth russia's alleged meddling in the us elections for example apparently didn't bother him or two in the end it was only all about him. conversation to my surprise moved into p.r. conversation about how the trump team would position this no one to my recollection asked so what. what's coming next from the russians in the book comey alleges trump turned sour after his investigations into russian interference and us elections came too close for comfort

attorney, and also as a senior f.b.i. official, under both former f.b.i.rs robert mueller and james comey. welcome back to the program. you've now had a chance to read james comey's book. what was your overall reaction? >> well, i did have a chance to read the book. i read it cover to cover this weekend. couple of different reactions. one, it's exceedingly well written. ates story well told. two, i don't think there are velots of new rtions in it and, by that, i mean, for thega case that mueller and his team might be building against the president orui others. then one other thing i think i should add, it's a little bit unusual to have witnesses oute as publicly as jim comey is out there now speaking and writing. normally aw prosecutor -- and in was one for aong time -- would caution a witness against that, but j isn't an ordinary witness, and i'm sure the mueller team alreadynows his story backwards and forwards.rd >> woodruff: i want to ask you about that, chuck rosenberg because there are a fair amount of comment about the fact that n james comey only m

president donald trump has described his former f.b.i. director james comey as an untruthful slimeball of the details emerged of a note from a no holds barred barred memoir due for release next week president trump fired mr curry last week he was said to be unhappy at his handling of the f.b.i. investigation into allegations of russian interference in the twenty sixteen u.s. elections and his new book mr curry scathing of the president's own professional and personal level describing him as a man who twists facts to serve his purpose on all trumps response has been characteristically blunt and delivered of course in the form of a tweet it is james komi it is a proven leaker and liar virtually everyone in washington thought he would be fired for the terrible job he did until he was in fact fired he leaked classified information for which he should be prosecuted like the congress under oath he is a weak and a truthful slimeball who was asked time has proven a terrible director of the f.b.i. and it continues as you can imagine in similar vei
