j. edgar comey. on top of all of that, their nondisclosures. fbi rules that comey also could be in violation of. finally, comey may have lied undererul oath about the hillary clinton email investigation. take a look at what he said under oath back in july of 2016. this is important. >> we did not find evidence to indicate there was an erasure to conceal things of any sort. we did not find any evidence of evil intent or intent to obstruct justice they are. >> sean: no intend, the email server and a bathroom closet of a mom and pop shop with top secret special access program? really? no intent? seriously? to mishandle classified information? no intent by destroying 30,000+ emails?wa comey testifies again that there wasn't any attempt -- yesterday, he said something entirely different. watch this. >> the clinton campaign was using all kinds of euphemisms, security review, matters, things like that for what was going on. we were getting to a place where the attorney general and i will bothth going to testify and talk publicly and i wanted to know if

j. edgar comey. >> this was the collapse of james comey. this was a guy who said that the former attorney general loretta lynch said don't call it a case, call it a "matter." and then he did. he sort of vindicated her. wouldn't do it for the president. marco rubio did a great job. look at the collusion taking place. there is evidently no evidence of collusion with regard to the president prove what is the collusion? it is james comey goes over his testimony with a special counsel who is supposed to be investigating all of this. what doesn't seem right? does it not seem right that that took place? does it not seem right that the fbi director leaked a memo of his private conversations, supposedly, with the president of the united states, leaked it to a colleague, friend at a law school who then leaked into "the new york times" and we are supposed to say that's good? we like our fbi director to do that. he said he did that in response to the president's tweet, except the contents of the memo came up the day before to "the new york times." if y

j. edgar comey's special counsel. this is now a big problem. bob mueller needs to be removed. i don't know what they have talked about. he seemed to run his entire commentary today and everything he was saying by bob mueller before him. he only gave him the notes. a lot of problems here that seem highly appropriate. i am sure we will be discussing that in the days to come. up next on this busy breaking news night, information you won't get anywhere else, right here on "hannity"... >> you are willing to say now that while you were director, the president was not under investigation, is not a fair statement? >> that correct. >> that's a fact we can rely on? >> sean: the fired, former disgruntled fbi director said that trump was never under investigation. gregg jarrett and geraldo rivera join us with reaction. sara carter and john solomon are here on this busy breaking news night. stay with us. ♪ man #2: what if a tree falls on our garage? woman: what if a tornado rips off our roof? flo: you're covered. and you've bundled your home and auto insurance, so you're saving a ton. come

j. edgar hoover has a nonelected official in this country had the power over our political system that james comey has. it's something to look at. at the same time, his testimony was very damming for the president of the united states, because it made clear that -- and let's see if there are tapes. but it made clear that he thought the president unquestionably was trying to get him to drop a legitimate investigation into a matter of grave national security concern and now also under a cloud after this hearing is jeff sessions. >> first of all, i would say i think comey not only answered the questions about loretta lynch, but i think he welcomed those questions because it was his way of certifying his role as an independent, not someone who serves one party or the other party. >> he got nauseous both about trump and about lynch. >> exactly. it shows that he has stomach problems. >> he does have mild nausea quite often it seems. >> let me talk about the politics. i've never been confronted by as many people of do you think the president will serve his full term and we're not a parliamentary system.

but that comey is probably the ost disloyal f.b.i. director since j. edgar hoover was taping presidents himself. so -- and having them watched and spied on. so it is amazing as smart as james comey is, i've questioned him a number of times, i know how smart he is, but that as smart as he is, he couldn't figure out that loyalty would ean, you don't run, try to make your president look bad, after a simple meeting where the president just asks, would you be loyal? i'm not asking for the moon. i'm not asking for anything outrageous. i'm simply asking, would you please be loyal. and even as president trump was apparently asking for loyalty, this disloyal, dishonest director of the f.b.i. was already turning wheels in his head, how can i hurt this president. i know. i know a reporter that hates trump worked for the trump-hating "washington post", even though he's not there now, he'll know how to help me hurt trump. i mean, even as the president is asking for loyalty, that's what he's getting in the mind f the f.b.i. director. so is it any mystery when we look back

j. edgar hoover. it's weird. what do you make of it? >> it is weird. it's true that my colleague likes to say for not being a leaker, james comey is very good at it. he's looking -- things were getting out -- >> neil: he was astute to getting out to procedure leaking. he said people were outside his home and he had to find a better way to leak and he did find a better way to leak. >> even in reference to the conversation about loretta lynch instructing him to lie about the investigation with clinton, that was leaked in fbi in april. james comey was still there in april. so he knows how to use the media to get information out. marco rubio says why the one thing that we know the one thing that wasn't leaked by the fbi? it's a question worth asking? what are the motivations not leaking something about trump but leaking selective information that made it seem and gave a lot of people the impression that he was in fact under investigation. we know that from multiple headlines and senators making claims that he said wasn't true. >> neil: do you think there's anything in here as tom perez said would be approaching obstruction of justice, a serious enough

j. edgar hoover to stop investigating martin luther king, would that have constituted an obstruction of justice? >> karl rove on the mark and ane answer is no. if president trump says to jim comey, there is more important things to do. terrorist investigations and i want you to move resources away from the russia and flynn investigation and not to others, that is a benign and lawful interference but if he does so for corrupt reasons because he fears flynn might be indicted and become a government witness, that's an unlawful interference. we don't know which one. we don't know what jim comey has said about mueller but we do know bob mueller has the duty to investigate whether it's reasonable suspicion to believe there may have been a crime. whether he can indict the person or not. we also know that the fbi investigates to exculpate someone, exclude them from the realm of criminal activity. we don't know the status. >> john: prosecutors are saying proving a negative is difficult. proof that the dog did not bark. president saying: "they made up a phony collusion with the russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. nice." then he

j. edgar hoover. today was the day that house investigators gave the white house to turn over recordings if they xifrt existed of the presi conversations with the other former fbi director, jim comey. of course, the president ending that controversy the same way it started. by issuing a tweet. and in that tweet he actually ended up creating questions about his own credibility, even as the president was questioning the credibility of james comey. listen -- >> when he found out that i -- you know that there may be tapes out there. whether it's governmental tapes or anything else and who knows, i think his story may have changed. i mean, you'll have to take a look at that, because then he has to tell what actually took place at the events, and my story didn't change. >> reporter: no on-camera briefing at the white house today. the white house says there will be a briefing, but it won't be for public consumption. kellyanne conway saying on cnn just a little while ago that as far as she's concerned this is a very accessible white house, because the communications shop does answer the questions of reporters on demand. john, back to you. >> why should the public get to see it as it happe

j wanted to edgar hoover's situation. all ofly he is entering these interactions, it depends what side of the fence you want to see it from. it exonerates the president because he hoped comeyat the certain way. it indicated -- comey indicated he was the source of some of these stories they got to the new york times. but he answered all their questions and said, i was the source of this stuff. i'll see you have the people that are critical of the president saying, look, comey has been clear he felt was put in a and situation where he thought others like the attorney general realized something was off and that he kept to those notes because he felt potentially set up himself. either way.se it there is not a hard and fast record of the president saying, i order you to do this. that interpretation has to come from comey being in the room wouldhe president. comey not go so far as to say, and i think this gets to obstruction of justice, people drawing the conclusion are inferring from comey getting close to the line, that that is where he is trying to go. charlie: as the mueller investigation continues, are we going to look at a battle republic opinion here? >> i think so. i ten

j. edgar hoover had his fights with a lot of white houses. obama just did it through the justice department. trump needs to be quiet about this thing. he needs to move on from it. comey revenge, but it's obvious that he's a disgruntled exñ-ñemployee. >> well, we will have to see what happens with president trump, because keeping quiet is not in his genes. thank you, tom. always a pleasure to have you here. >> thanks, guys. >>> voting results are trickling in in the united kingdom's general election, the brits electing a new government and possibly a new prime minister. early exit polls show it is a much close erase than expected. current prime minister theresa may has been a clear favorite but the polls have tightened following the deadly attacks over the past few weeks. >> reporter: voters throughout the u.k. arriving to a heavy police presence as polls opened, security the major issue following three deadly terror attacks since march. leaders of the major party urging supporters to ignore the heightened threat and come to the polls. >> we are focused on getting out the vote. >> i'm very proud of our campaign. >> reporter: the vote comes as police in london continue

comey responded to a question from senator collins about the same thing. why didn't you do more? why didn't you push more? he made reference to the historical fact of j. edgarhave a j. edgar hoover moment where he would be perceived as saying to the president, we are holding this over you. we are going to do something to you. with that in the back of his mind, with trying to keep the bureau apolitical, it is a little more nabbedable that he did not want to go all out and push the president back. coming up, more headlines. the fall-out from the comey testimony. we'll get the inside scoop next right here on andrea mitchell repos msnbc. will your business be ready when growth presents itself? american express open cards can help you take on a new job, or fill a big order or expand your office and take on whatever comes next. find out how american express cards and services can help prepare you for growth at open.com. all umm...ed. find out how american express cards and services you wouldn't want your painter to quit part way, i think you missed a spot. so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? aleve, live whole not part. you want

j edgar hoover. i think this is a big challenge for president trump in the white house and the administration. because he is now going to be facing bob mueller and jim comey, two men who have worked together for many years in washington and in the justice department together on turf that is very familiar with them. these men spent a lives leading big complex investigations including bob mueller helped with prosecution of noriega and the prosecutors of pan am one oh three. he knows how to conduct these big wide-ranging federal investigations. this is an area where the president and his associates don't have a lot of experience in the way these investigations unfold. particularly when you look at the history of the way they so often end up focusing on issues ancillary to the underlying charge. they can start investigation how one after monica lewinsky and the valerie investigation and the way it focused on scooter libby and dethroning president cheney stop a was not the leaker, but he was someone who had been caught up in the investigation. i think that's a real challenge for this administration going forward. >> before you get to last questions, some annou
