was president trump's firing of komi something un dissipated investigating potentially obstruction of justice get into. at the internal deliberations of the justice department actually it goes to your credibility and maybe you've been away from the courtroom for a while credibility is always relevant it's always material and that goes for you jim you're a witness before us let me ask you when you talked to president trump the day before you appointed or you were appointed as special counsel you were talking to him about f.b.i. director position again. did he mention the firing of james not as a candidate was asked did he mention the firing of james komi in your discussion with him and i remember pardon and not remember it i don't believe so i could be speech don't remember but if you did you could be in a fact witness as to the president's comments and state of mind on firing james komi. i suppose that's possible so those products q 2 which want to make sure there was no appearance of impropriety but in your case you hired a bunch of people that did not like the president let me ask y

fulfillment this sort of i will put that on the big one wolf and you got an idea years of wonderful komi argument that the new. in the past the big one up in macau i like a well many called one on my mobile was simple before. when i was in wanted not being. oh my god postulate. where i was sort of painting the sort of one young man. who is the getting wound up with. a film you were coming out on is that as soon as. you know we're going to get us he was ok that's. cool system to live on a. new york you don't know if he had some of us he go where they go until i became me he said i mean money comes from what i learn colonial thing again thing you're going to. be who goes for me he said but the mall is the school because you have a little thing that he has to do most i look at base you lot of pourceaugnac you will i workers remove one more point that i mean that will be you almost in your story. you're right it was a good moment of all. you can you can you didn't let us hear from you this you know last thing either this put a lot of these 2 of you who believe only me that you're just like a

force to tamper with the witness general flynn at the time was not a witness and certainly director komi was not a witness and 1512 c 2 talks about tampering with the record of a man as joe biden described the statute has been debated on the senate floor. he called this a statute criminalizing document shredding and there's nothing in the in your report that alleges that the president destroyed any any evidence so what i have to ask you and what i think people are working around in this hearing is. let me lay a little foundation for the ethical rules require the prosecutor have a reasonable probability of conviction to bring a charge is that correct. jeli accurate ok and the regulations concerning your job as special counsel state that your job is to provide the attorney general with a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declamation decisions reached by your office you recommended declining prosecution of president trump and anyone associated with his campaign because there was insufficient evidence to convict for a charge of conspiracy with russian interference in the 2016

which you do internal employee surveys show that while morale was high in 2016 under former director komi it is it is klein didn't 2017 after the president fire the director and began publicly attacking the bureau while the president has claimed that the f.b.i. is investigation of his campaign's possible coordination with russia was started illegally the mauler report confirms that there was so the gentleman and lawful reason to open the investigation the moller report explains that the f.b.i. started investigating possible coordination between the trump campaign and russia in response to information provided by a foreign government shortly after wiki leaks started releasing documents stolen by russia from the d.n.c. . the moeller report further explains that in late july 2016 shortly after waking leaks 1st started releasing information stolen by russia from d.n.c. computers australia told the f.b.i. that months earlier trump campaign advisor george papadopoulos had told us truly is top diplomat in britain that russia had dirt on hillary clinton in the form of thousands of emails and that

helped to get trump elected there was obviously the russian interference in the election there was bill komi coming in with 3 weeks to go taking another look at hillary's e-mails which turned out to be a nothing burger there was some of that some of those races dog whistles that trump use playing up to the election saying that many of the mexicans coming over the border were rapists and gang members some of those dog whistles that he used to perhaps pull some of the racist people out to the polls so it may have played a small part in it seems that he may be trying to really double down and make that a principal part of his election strategy going into 2020 although i'll tell you right now it will be a failed strategy if that is the linchpin of his campaign i mean the confusing part is that president president won in 2016 but his party lost in 2018 as we know both these elections or for not just on race and identity but also on the issues like the economy and health care so do we know if these racist incendiary remarks are likely to help him in 2020. i don't think they will just read a study

mueller everything that came before and culminated yesterday was started because his predecessor jim komiversation with the president to start to create the muller investigation, mishandling classified information is still a violation of the espionage act. it started with hillary clinton and has continued without account ability to people are not paid the price which is one reason william barr needs to focus on that because there does need to be accountability there. brian: we'll have 20 seconds, but they are friends, the man who launched the james comey and robert mueller are very good friends. that's important that explain why donald trump was so unsettled by him being special counsel. >> absolutely, donald trump was the one telling the truth the whole time that there was no collusion and very clearly the american people saw that yesterday. brian: absolutely pure john radcliffe, appreciate it. thanks for joining us. we move ahead final two-hour straight ahead we will be joined by judge or 109 and as great work for the president, what it was like for them behind. also mark live-in that a
