as you mention in this was a roll out to james komi its new book that comes out on tuesday called the higher loyalty in this book very much is a critique of u.s. president donald trump and the headline out of this interview that just finished airing here in the us is clearly that the former f.b.i. director of the united states is accusing the current president donald trump of being morally unfit to be president of the united states absolutely remarkable words for the former from the former f.b.i. director we haven't seen anything like this in modern times in the u.s. where. the head of the top law enforcement agency of this country accuses the president of such a thing such as this now and this is also very personal as well james komi attacking donald trump for even as much as his looks the way that he combs his hair how he wears his ties those all superficial but very personal but then also says donald trump is a liar accuses him of obstructing justice and says that anyone that works with or around donald trump is stained by his poor ethical activities according to the f.b.i. former

slippery james komi would suggest that he is particularly upset with the former director of the f.b.i. and as we've heard the white house intends to continue to attack its credibility there's one thing we should point out that the white house at the time when james comey resignation was announced he was fired by tweet by donald trump found out about it when he was visiting f.b.i. offices in california it was said that it was done because of his handling of the hillary clinton e-mail investigation but very soon after that in a network television interview donald trump admitted it was because of the russia investigation and so that slightly undermines their outrage. about james komi and him revealing that the reason he did what he did with the hillary clinton investigation was to make her a legitimate president because she was so far ahead in the polls at that point although we're talking at the moment only about excerpts from this book is there any indication in washington that people are expecting more to emerge especially after his giving interviews and a very long series of pr

james komi in the white house where komi said that trump asked him to stop the russia investigation or at least insinuated that he should pledge loyalty to donald trump insinuating that he should stop the russian vest a geisha and that we've no and i mean that's come out previously but in this interview what's new is the direct. really accusation by james komi that that could lead to obstruction of justice for donald trump that was one of the many headlines that came out of this interview it's called he's promoting his new book a higher loyalty is the name of it that's coming out on tuesday host of other things as well one of questioned by the interviewee if if he thought that russia has any compromising information on donald trump james komi said he could not rule that out that russia might have some compromising information news leading to this unconfirmed reports that have been circulating around for a while now that russia might have video or photographs of donald trump book of boarding with women in moscow that's something that the intelligence community has been looking into and

director james comey and his new tell all book what we know so far komi is convinced that donald trump should never have become u.s. president and komi is also convinced that he did nothing wrong by possibly denying his country its first chance to say congratulations madam president i'm bringing off in berlin this is the day. i really like to come in i hope what people will see in the book is what i think president obama saw someone trying to make decisions without regard to politics and i was excited to read a book by somebody who i think is fundamentally honest person all of this was a five hundred year flood i pray no f.b.i. director ever has to deal with this again because it was just a series of no win decisions. a pretty far left person i know not everyone on the far left like james comey base twenty six seem to even hold pillory clinton at least reads those parts of the book because i think she will walk away saying you know what i still think the guy's in india but you know he's kind of out on a studio. also coming up scientists in the u.k. and the u.s. say. that eats plastic a

attack then he simply hits back he believes that you hit back twice as hard and saw his criticism of james komi isn't surprising the fact that he is upset is perhaps indicated by the fact that he's given james called me and that name he started to call them a slippery james komi his allegations of illegal wrongdoing by james comey perhaps don't hold up to illegal test but certainly he's trying to muddy the waters about james coleman's credibility one thing to remember is that when james cormier was fired by donald trump the memo that was issued said it was because of his handling of the hillary clinton e-mail investigation but just a few days later during a network t.v. interview in the united states he said that james comey was fired because of the russia investigation will we expect more things to be revealed during his network television interview it's unlikely a number of news organizations have managed to obtain copies of james called me his book they tend to harvest the best lines the two big takeaways is that the former director of the f.b.i. likened the president of the united states to

yeah this is really all out war now between james komi and donald trump make no mistake about it this interview is airing right now here across the united states and it is absolutely scathing. james komi has a lot of criticism about donald trump the interviews about halfway through right now but we've got a transcript we've been listening to it then also reading through dozens of pages of the transcript as well and komi has personal criticisms of donald trump he even about the way he donald trump looks komi kind of make fun makes fun of the way he combs his hair. the way his skin color appears and even the way he wears his ties very personal critiques but it goes way beyond that as well make no mistake about it the headline out of this interview so far is that the former director of the f.b.i. says that the current president donald trump is in his words quote morally unfit to be president of the united states really shocking and scathing criticism from the former head of the top law enforcement agency in the united states against a sitting u.s. president we haven't seen anything like

james comey has accused donald trump of being morally unfit to be u.s. president he says there may be some evidence that trump obstructed justice komi made the comments in an interview with an american network to promote his new memoir from washington d.c. gabriel reports. in a remarkable rebuke former f.b.i. director james comey is saying u.s. president donald trump is not fit to be commander in chief he's donald trump unfit to be president. yes but not in the way i often hear people talk about it i don't buy the stuff about him being mentally incompetent the early stages of dementia strikes me as a person of above average intelligence who's tracking conversations and knows what's going on i don't think he's medically unfit to be president i think is morally unfit to be president of the exclusive interview with a.b.c. news george stephanopoulos was part of the rollout of coleman's new book titled a higher loyalty truth lies and leadership in the interview komi says trump lies has obstructed justice and like to an insecure mob boss and he also says russia might have compromising information on the president do you think the russians have something on don

is our good buddy james komi recently you covered him you know you talked about wrote about his his new book a former f.b.i. director james going to book a higher loyalty truth lies and leadership so let me ask you matt just where does james komi as higher loyalties lie i'm afraid i didn't read the book and i don't know if i'm going to read it over the summer i'm on the fence well i'm going to have to i mean not not not to be crude about it but i'm going to guess it's first loyalty is probably to the two million dollars advance that he got for the book. but now that's probably not fair but honestly it's a very strange book. it. is not a book that feels. open and it feels like it is the intent was to disclose a lot about either the sort of pre-election controversies that he was involved with or the trump white house in his interactions with the he mostly stuck to information that had already been disclosed that was already out there in the press with a few minor and glaring exceptions in the book still very calculated in that respect that he only wanted to have a few big talking points a

days of the trouble presidency which are fascinating to read and i'm sure will will selling james james komi a lot of books the american football player calling captain nick has won and miss the internationals annual ambassador of conscience of war two years ago cap an extensive kneeling joining the u.s. national anthem played before or an f l matches in response to the district portion at number of black people killed by police the amnesty would recognizes what it calls an inspiring contribution to helping human rights a captain it was presented with the award by amnesty international secretary-general sillies shetty he told us why cap a nick and the players who supported him deserve recognition. but that immense courage that they're shown which has been a huge inspiration to many other activists who are anti racism activists black people but not just black people but they crossed the entire spectrum of the us population but as you know anything which happened in the us also has a huge impact across the globe so many brave human rights defenders i think seek inspiration have success gained

director james komi in a series of tweets trump challenges accusations coming makes in a new tell all book due to be published next week he says i never asked komi for personal loyalty i hardly knew this guy just another of his many lies is memos are self-serving and fake in another tree trunk calls komi slippery out of whack the worst f.b.i. director in history sacked me last year for his handling of the f.b.i. investigation into clinton's e-mail practices for their service go to she have a tansey who's in washington so she had should we be surprised by the nature of if these scathing comments against me. no because kirby himself is pretty scathing pretty personal against trump in this book comparing trump to a mole boss saying that trump is untethered to the truth the piano blitz the official p.r. blitz for the book begins two nights in the u.s. with an interview on u.s. network television the network says even though excerpts have already been released there's even more explosive stuff that the public house and you have seen although probably you know i would say that with but this

director james comey of leaking classified information in his memoirs comey has been promoting his new book in which he portrays trump as quote an ego driven liar komi was fired by trump last year as the f.b.i. investigated alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. election. trump tweeted james combs memos are classified i did not declassify them they belong to our government therefore he broke the law additionally totally made up many of the things he said i said and he is already a proven liar where on memos on clinton lynch and others why do jocasta joins us now from washington saudi what are these memos about he has i'm so there's a lot to unpack here but we go back to james komi when he was still director of the f.b.i. he wrote these memos in the early days of the trump administration documenting the private conversations that he had with trump in person and over the phone komi says he wrote this all down immediately after these meetings because he was troubled by some of the topics that trump broached two requests in particular courting to komi trump asked him to drop an f.b.i. investigation into a senior adviser and the president ac

these memos in question were written by james komi who at the time was director of the f.b.i. and they document the private conversations between komi and president donald trump in the early days of the administration komi said he wrote all of this down because he was concerned by several of the topics that trump brought up in these meetings and in particular two requests made by the president. asked him to drop a federal investigation into a senior adviser and also asked komi for a pledge of loyalty given this was when coleman was leading an investigation into possible russian meddling in the two thousand and sixteen presidential elections komi says he refused to offer his loyalty pledge and was soon fired by trump after his firing komi then shared two of these memos with a close friend who then disseminated it to a reporter called me says he did this hoping that release of this information to the public would provoke a special counsel investigation to be appointed and that is exactly what has happened with robert muller the special counsel now looking into trump's campaign a

even if he was fired by donald trump that's a very serious matter we don't know do we waltz james komi is talking about though when he refers to obstruction of justice well he appears to be talking about the fact that. trump fired him because he was looking into the relationship between the trump campaign and russia komi isn't specifying exactly and there are several pieces of evidence of obstruction obstruction of justice that we know the special counsel who was appointed after. comey was fired there's several pieces of evidence they could suggest obstruction of justice that's just one of the things that's being looked into personal attorneys affairs other things could lead to other scandals they already have possibly court cases against this president how do you think this is going to go down with the base trump's base of support. from space has been very loyal to him what they like about him is what he's doing right now they like the fact that he's defiant faced with the opposition with criticism he's defiant he basically is bullying he's insulting he uses childish nicknames against
