the firing of james comey, the consistent tweets early on in the administration against jeff sessionse attorney general, which abated for a while and then picked back up again, some criticism of rod rosenstein. so it's the latest storm to wash over the justice department and the fbi. but christopher wray, the fbi director, despite all the talk about this that doesn't seem to go away, has shown absolutely no intention of stepping down. senior fbi officials tell me he is more resolute than ever to stay. he issued a long statement yesterday to the fbi staff, basically saying to everybody, buck up, carry on, i intend to be with you and defend you. so, you know, they're doing the best they can. they clearly don't like to be in this position. they don't like to be the center of attention. the attorney general did say that nobody's perfect, he has great regard for the men and women at the fbi but if there were mistakes made, then he'll certainly try to correct them. that's sort of where we are, alex. >> pete, i'm looking at the president's tweet from earlier today. and he says in this tweet

we saw james comey's tweet. how unprecedented would it be for the white house to defy its intelligence community and own fbi and release a memo? >> there is always tension with presidents and the fbi. that's historic. they fight over policy. they often have personal disagreements. the way this is happening in the public in front of the american eyes where the president is working with republicans to syst systemically to discredit the operation is unprecedent. that is why some law enforcement officials are upset and concerned. "the washington post" has a stunning op-ed this morning. they talk about the issue of going after institutions like the fbi. you saw it. what is your take on this and the strategy behind, you know, republicans going after the fbi? we have a portion of "the washington post" op-ed. once a bipartisan responsibility that lawmakers treated soberly, as they still do in the senate, oversight under mr. nunes is another an -- affront in mr. trump's assault on law enforcement. >> those are strong wor

former fbi director, james comey tweeted, that's it, describing it as dishonest and misleading. the ranking democrat, adam schiff disputed the finding saying this ignores that the investigation did not begin with or rise with khris fear steele or the dossier. democrats have their own memo that disputes the republicans findings, but republicans on the house intelligence voted to block its release. the president would not answer whether he would release that memo. the white house issued a statement saying it could. the administration stands ready to work and accommodate oversight requests. the white house tried to clean up the comments from rosenstein saying there's no conversation about firing the deputy attorney general. jim acosta, cnn, the white house. >>> well, again, the main allegation in this metrodomo th they tried to fire carter page. >> how does carter page fit into all this? we asked tom foreman to explain. >> reporter: in the long investigation into possible russian meddling in the u.s. election, carter page has become a flash point, not because this one-time adviser

so former fbi director james comey tweeted as a result of this memo, memo's release, and he says, that's it, dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the house intel committee, destroyed trust with intelligence community, damaged relationship with fisa court, and inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an american citizen, for what? i mean this really kind of speaks to, steve, what you were say, this is the kind of modus operandi of russia. this may have been the exact goal and the u.s. did it for it. >> yes, all of these things, you know, the russians don't make this stuff out of wholecloth. they take a look and they see okay where are the fissures in society, also throughout europe, and how can we, you know, minimize, you know, the efficiency of these democracies. i think they're particularly pleased that the fbi is right now in the crosshairs. because of course the russian equivalent, the internal security service, the fsb, is a really big deal that operates basically at the behest of putin. the russians are seeing this through their lens and saying, wow, look what we just did, w

james comey has been tweaking -- tweeting. the president says i think it is terrible, a disgrace, the memos assertions and a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves. let's get back to stocks and the economy. offy: u.s. stocks falling in better than expected jobs report and the 10 year yield topping 2.8% for the first time since 2014. the u.s. economy added 200,000 jobs and wages rose the most since the recession. the strength and the labor market reinforces the fed plan to raise rates three times this year. here with more is j.p. morgan securities chief u.s. economist, michael feroli. is the phillips curve making a comeback? toit is too early to jump that, i believe in the phillips curve but wage data can be noisy month-to-month. there was interesting back revisions to wages and december and november and the trend looks like it has been pretty steadily but slowly accelerating since 2015. wages are picking up we think. vonnie: any signs they will? >> will pick up? vonnie: yes. >> we saw in the past couple of months. i thi

. >> reporter: tonight, former fbi director james comey weighed in tweeting american history shows inhe long run, weasels and liars never hold the field so long as good people stand up. that is a reflection of how intense this controversy has now become. >> the influenza virus is continue to go spread from coast to coast, and it's infecting team who have received the flu shot. medical researchers in canada say they believe they know why. the vaccine, it turns out, is just 17% effective. mark strassman goes behind the numbers. >> this emergency room in atlanta has been overwhelmed by the h3n2 virus. starting this week staff have quarantined new flu patients in this separate hospital. typically reserved for disasters like hurricanes. >> we had, you know, i would say about a 25% increase on certain days. >> the chief of emergency medicine. >> physically need the space to put a patient in. this is going to help solve that. >> what has not been as helpful as hoped is this year's flu vaccine. canadian researchers reported today that it's less than 20% effective against the flu's most domina

former fbi director james comey also chimed in tweeting that all should appreciate the fbi speaking up and that he wishes more of our leaders would. anne-marie? >> wendy gillette here in new york. >>> ahead only on "cbs this morning," we'll talk with the top democrat on the house intelligence committee, adam schiff, about why he believes releasing the memo could be damaged and what could happen next. >>> president trump mocked democrats and said they were unwilling to so-called dreamers. >> the democrats are awol, they're missing in action. we're saying where are they, we have a proposal, we never hear from them because i don't think they want to solve the daca problem. i think they want to talk about it. i think they want to obstruct. >> last week the white house said mr. trump would endorse a plan allowing dreamers to seek citizenship in exchange for changes in the immigration system. >>> police now believe the shooting at a los angeles middle school was an accident. police say the suspect, a 12-year-old girl, was -- had brought rather a semiautomatic handgun to school. she's been bo

: let's go to tweeter in chief james comey, he keeps going on twitter to explain his side of this and yet a lot of explaining to do. >> i'm still waiting for the zen tweethe background to explain how all of this happened. first, he certified three fisa requests. he is very much involved in this whole process. he also is the individual who got the mueller probe started. he is at the center of this. he leaked information that at least one member of congress said was classified to the "new york times," central in hillary email leak probe. he stepped up in front of the country and said there would be no charges which as we know was a very strange move. he tweeted it was devin nunes' fault there was a quote, unquote classified cleaning leak of the carter page surveillance. >> what he put out yesterday was essentially one long series of exaggerations and falsehoods saying this was somehow not helping anybody. it was destroying the relationship with the intelligence community. that's just essentially a pile of nonsense coming from the former fbi director, which i think is making people ask questions about how he could get sgt. so wrong. maybe he is really part

bringing it to light. >> bret: what do you make of comey street. -- comey's tweet. >> also not a lot of schools or streets named for james and all likelihood. it's odd he would make this reference to joe mccarthy. publicly intimating there was an investigation on donald trump. >> bret: it is interesting to see former fbi director, former cia director on twitter tossing balls to the public discourse like this. >> they are well within their rights to do it. >> bret: i am not saying it's against the law. >> i think it's informative. i think our colleagues in the mainstream media have shown an in capability of imagining the people like james comey would be political. people like john brennan. for those of us who reported on the episodes over the last eight years from benghazi to guantanamo to the iran deal, it's pretty clear they were capable of being political. one of the things that will come out of the release of the memo is we will see more politics. does it invalidate the entire investigation into trump and russia? i don't think so. if the fbi played games with fisa applications, does that somehow exculpate donald trump

james comey posting this tweet tonight, quote, all should appreciate the fbi speaking up. i wish more of our leaders would. but take heart, american history shows that in the long run weasels and liars never hold the field so long as good people stand up. not a lot of schools or streets named for joe mccarthy. the union representing the fbi rank and file also weighed in with this statement. quote, the fbi agents's association appreciates the fbi director chris wray standing shoulder to shoulder with the men and women of the fbi as we work together to protect our country from criminal and national security threats. >>> let's be clear. the fisa memo controversy is not principally a battle between democrats and republicans, although they certainly disagree. it is a fight between the white house and the nation's law enforcement agencies. in this statement, mr. wray expressed, quote, grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo's accuracy. in a letter to the memo's author, the representative devin nunes, the justice department says it is, q
