mr. ray expressed his readiness to resign, alongside then deputy attorney general comey. or mueller in a standoff with the bush white house about the legality of the nsa's warrant list surveillance program. yet, john yu has testified that just a year earlier mr. ray was part of the senior leadership in the justice department that may have refused an office of legal counsel memo, excuse me, reviewed an office of legal counsel memo justifying the use of enhanced interrogation techniques. this is significant, not only because of what it says about mr. ray's views and independence at the time, but we know there are those who would bring back torture if they could. how he would handle this is important. in 2009 this committee heard important testimony stating that fbi interrogators have traditionally used the informed interrogation approach. sufan who many of us know, an fbi agent who was a key fbi interrogator for several major terrorism investigations testified to us directly about the contrast between the fbi's techniques and the interrogation techniques used by the cia duri

nor is there evidence that mr. comeyas dismissed because rank and file fbi agents had either lost confidence in him or because of his handling of the clinton administration -- investigation. rather, we find that rank and file agents of the fbi did and continue to overwhelmingly support james comey. in addition, deputy attorney general rosenstein told members of congress that when he wrote his memo, president trump had already decided to remove mr. comey as fbi director. based on press reports and the president's own words, the reason mr. comey was dismissed was because he would not pledge his loyalty to the president and he would not lift the cloud of the russia investigation. president trump said in a televised interview, for example, i was going to fire comey regardless of recommendation and, quote, when i decided to just do it i said to myself, you know, this russia thing with trump and russia is a made up story, end quote. as the fbi's investigation into russian election interference and possible coordination with th

trump said he believed mr. comey told him about the dossier to implicitly make clear he had something to hold over the president." quoting the president here "in my opinion he shared so that i would think he had it out there as leverage the times asked? yeah, i think so mr. trump said

trump said of mr. comey. he said, i asked people to go. look, you look at his testimony. his testimony is loaded up with

but mr. comey installed as his deputy director a man whose wife ran for the virginia state senate and accept almost $1 million from the virginia governor terry mcauliffe political machine. that's a lot of money for one state senate seat. governor mcauliffe is a longtime friend and fundraiser for the clintons and the democratic party.e deputy director andrew mccabe met in person with governorr mcauliffe about his wife's political plans. his official fbi biography was used in setting up a meeting and the goals, and the goal was forl mccollum to close the deal and get his wife to run for office. the office of special counsel is reviewing whether thathe coordination was a violation of the act which prohibits partisan political coordination by fbi w officials. inspector general is using whether vista mccabe should've been recused from the clinton investigation based upon his financial ties to the clinton s the political network. mr. mccabe was also named in a sex discrimination lawsuit by a female fbi a

mr. comey's decision decision -- you know that has evidentiary value. tell me your reaction, do you feel bound or at least you feel the recommendation from comey's action to create contemporary written records of your conversations with the president if you become director of the fbi hashtag >> at a minimum, i would it take the approach i always take witches try to listen very carefully to what i'm hearing on the conversation. there would be times where i think the appropriate next step is for me to memorialize that, but i would value that on a case-by-case basis. >> you can correct me because i think you have much more experience, your memory of a conversation and a written contemporaneous report carried different evidentiary value and weight and a courtroom, is that not true? >> that's absolutely true. >> i do want to put words in your mouth, but what you're saying is under some circumstances, conversations with the president of united states should be memorialized in a contemporaneous written report. >> certainly, there would be situations where it wo

did you discuss mr. comey or his firing with anyone in the white house, the justice department or the fbi? if so, who, when and what was discussed? >> i did not discuss those topics at all with anyone in the white house. my only discussion on the topic at all was deputy attorney general rosenstein making the observation to me that at the time that i first was contacted about this position by him was that now special counsel mueller had been appointed to deal with that issue and that in effect made for a better landscape for me to consider taking on this position. >> that was it? >> that was it. >> okay. let me go now to the things that we discussed in my office. my understanding is you served as the deputy attorney general's most senior advisor when the office of legal counsel issued the so-called torture memos in 2002 and 2003. one of the authors of those memos testified in 2008 before a house judiciary committee on june 26th that you were one of the justice department officials that would have received draft

it happened to mr. comey. he decided that he was uncomfortable being in oval office alone with the president. as unusual as it may be, would you meet in the oval office with the president with no one else present? >> i think it would depend on the sishgz. i think it would be highly unlikely. but i could imagine a situation where there would be some national security matter where it might call for it. i would again -- my preference and my presumption would be that there should be people from the department working through the office of the deputy attorney general so that it's not a one on one meeting. i think the relationship between any fbi director and any president needs to be a professional one, not a social one. there certainly shouldn't be any discussion between one on one discussion between the fbi director and any president about how to conduct particular investigationscases. >> the second thing which i think is unprecedented was mr. comey's decision after meeting with the president and discussions with

us all so committed to working with everyone to find a solution. >> thank you. >> did you discuss mr. comey or his firing with anybody in the white house? if so, who, when? >> i did not discuss those topics with anybody in the white house. my only discussion was mr. rosenstein making an observation to me. and that in effect made for a better landscape to take on his position. that was it. >> you served as the deputy attorney general senior advisor when the torture memos were issued. one of the authors of the memos testified in 2008. that you were one of the officials who would have received drafts of the memos. in those memos would not of been issued without approval of the deputy attorney's office. he believed that you provided comments on the memo which included that interrogation tactics don't qualify as tortur torture. what was your role in reviewing or proving that memo? regarding the treatment. some of us were trying to get a hold of those memos during that time. we couldn't even see the memos. this looms big in my mind. >> i recognize and respect the issue. my view is that torture is

comey had, the dinner began the small talk but the president turned the conversation to whether mr. comey would pledge his loyalty to him. breaking news tonight, a blockbuster report from the "new york times." since confirmed by nbc news, that the president of the united states asked then-fbi director james comey to end the bureau's investigation of michael flynn according to a memo written by comey. we have absolutely massive breaking news tonight. "the washington post" reporting that special counsel robert mueller is now investigating the president of the united states for possible obstruction of justice. we here have lost count with the number of breaking news alert about the president and the obstruction and russia investigation and not even six months into this administration. joining me, political reporter of the "new york times," jason johnson, pot ticks editor, and from washington d.c., michael issikoff, and michael schmidt. michael in d.c., let me start with you. michael, you are a veteran investigation, i remember reading your report, the bush administration broke important stor

it happened to mr. comey and he decided that he was uncomfortable being in the oval office alone with the president. so as unusual as it may be, would you meet in the oval office with the president with no one else present? >> i think it would depend on the circumstances. it would be highly unlikely but i can imagine a situation that might call for it. but again, my preference and my presumption would be that there should be people from the department through working through the office of the deputy attorney general so that it's not a one on one meeting. i think the relationship between any fbi director and any president needs to be a professional one, not a social one. and there certainly shouldn't be any discussion between one on one discussion between the fbi director and any president about particular -- how could conduct particular investigations or cases. >> the second thing, which i think is extraordinary and i don't know there's any precedent in the history of the united states since the creation of t

and it happened to mr. comey in the oval office alone with the president. so as unusual as it may be, would you meet in the oval office with the president with no one else president? >> i think it would depend on the circumstance, senator. i think it would be highly unlikely, but i think there could -- i could imagine a situation, whether it be some national security matter that might call for it. but i, again, my preference and my presumption would be that there should be people from the department through -- working through the office of the deputy attorney general so that it's not a one-on-one meeting. i think the relationship between any fbi director and any president needs to be a professional one, not a social one. and there certainly shouldn't be any discussion between one-on-one discussions between the fbi director and any president about particular -- how to conduct particular investigations or cases. >> the second thing, which i think is extraordinary, and i don't know if there's any precedent in the hi

trump said he believed mr. comey told him about the dossier to make clear he had something to hold over the president. in my opinion he share today so that i will think that it had -- that he had it out there. mr. trump said as leverage. yeah. i think so, mr. trump said in retrospect, he thinks it was leverage. maggie, the president took on the special counsel robert mueller as well accusing him of running an investigation full of conflicts of interest and warning him about digging into his money. i want to quote here, because this is from your article. when asked if mr. mueller's investigation would cross a red line if it expanded to look into his family finances beyond any relationship to russia. mr. trump said i would say yes, he would not say what he would do about it, but i think that's a violation. look, this is about russia. so is he making the case here to fire -- the possibility of firing robert mueller? >> it's a great question and we tried pressing him repeatedly about where he is on this and what he will

so you reached a conclusion in the case of mr. comey, you -- the president comey. >> no, sir. >> case of president trump. >> mccain's office issued a statement saying the senator and his family are reviewing further treatment which could include a combination of chemotherapy and radiation. >> megan mccain, the senator's daughter and fox news channel host, released a statement on her family's behalf. she says the diagnosis has shocked her family and they're ands us about what's to come. >> we spoke with our medical contributor, doctor mike, about phone about senator mccain's prognosis. >> man, i hate when people ask me how long does someone have. >> sure. >> basically it is anywhere from three to four month, up to even over a year. >> okay. >> but i can tell you, iaian, lucy, the bottom line he's going to get the best care there is, he's going get radiation, chemotherapy, and even immuno modular treatments, a lot of new amazing treatments going on. >> doctor mike will join us in our 7:00 hour with more on senator mccain's diagnosis, as w

trump said he believed mr. comey told him about the dossier to implicitly make clear he had something to hold over the president." quoting the president here "in my opinion he shared so that i would think he had it out there as leverage the times asked? yeah, i think so mr. trump said in retrospect. mr. comey also declined comment to the times". president also offered us his version that have chat he and vladimir putin had over dinner at the g-20 summit. "i went down just to say hello to melania. while i was there i said hello to putin. pleasantries more than anything else. it was not a long conversation but it was, you know, could be 15 minutes. talked about things. it was very interesting. we talked about doochings. you'll recall the subject of adoption was the cover story for meeting donald trump jr. hosted at trump tower and speaking of the president's eldest son, the senate judiciary committee wants both him and paul manafort to testify at an open hearing next wednesday. the committee's also asking both for docu

sessions and the former fbi director, mr. comey.losed door sessions that is not open to the public. do you think that these investigations are necessary. do they have meaning? do you think that it's something that the american people care about and we need to be focused on other things. >> guest: think i they had important, but we need to focus on other things. ca that are hurting 300 million americans. we should be thinking about healthcare, and gun control and gun violence instead of focusing on these tiny details. >> armstrong: joshua, how do we lower the tone and return to civility and respect where we can have different opinions, but at the end of the day we all realize that we're americans, and we're in this together? >> when will, when you look at it, people separate themselves based on different things. we're all just people. we're all americans, we should all come together, and yes, we can have different opinions, but we can do it in a civilized way, not have to have violence or anything like that. >> armstrong: i know you

there is also a testimony natalie from former director mr. comey or expected them to continue with elections so what would you do to prevent this kind of interference?. >> are want to be briefed by the professionals that the fbi and other parts of the intelligence community on what we know on how many nations state has attempted to interfere how can we be confident are their sources of information of the affirmation to get access to?. >> and did my meeting with you with any foreign countries a chance is the adversary to rise and it is an attack on the premises of democracy so you would take this kind of conclusion to as is the very serious of the priority?. >> there are a number of 101 conversations i would characterize as improper in to testify to those concerns and should that occur between you and president trump and not to the attorney general and with that testimony today what about attorney general sessions?. >> i would not rule out talking to the attorney general but with the fbi reports to the deputy attorney general number one into number

mr. comey's job, he is hopelessly conflicted and should step down. >> mueller is compromised because he wanted to be -- he interviewed with the president for comey's job after he stepped down. that's a very clear conflict. >> so how was that assessment on the mueller situation received? >> i think that -- i think that that's a view that is shared by president trump and some people in his inner circle, namely the people most interested in assuring there is nobody investigating the president. the idea is the more you can disqualify people the less likelihood that that investigation happens. i don't think many people outside of his circle believe that robert mueller is compromised by having been interested in the fbi job. this is somebody who has had that job before and somebody who now has a pretty good job. it's not like he's out there conducting some sort of, you know, vengeance mission because he didn't get the fbi director job. this is what you see from the trump white house and campaign operation, which is slime everybody in their path. so mueller is the victim this week. if mueller were go

trump believes mr. comeyd him about the dossier to implicitly make clear he has something to hold over the president. there is a quote from the president. in my opinion he shared it so i would think he had it out there, mr. trump said. as leverage? president trump was asked by the "new york times," he responds? i think so. >> jen, what do you say is it possible that's what mr. comey was doing when he pulled the president aside an said hey you should know about the dossier? >> i was in the government at the time. i can tell you that's a kin i cynical view of how any agency government would work, obviously, i wasn't in touch with comey, nor were political appointees in the white house, these are processes and policies done in order to inform the incoming president about what there was, what was out there kind of in information circles, that was being said about him. that was a responsible action and one that was taken to do a peaceful transfer of power. so that's a pretty cynical and pretty serious accusation.

she was cleared by the fbi, mr. comey even said, no reasonable prosecutorial charge.o that's been thoroughly investigated. this trump stuff has not been thoroughly investigated. it will be now because of director mueller, but it has not been investigated. and the charge is much, much worse. if true, they subverted the democratic process of picking a president and tainted mr. trump's election. >> but let me push back on that. i think it's based on something that mary katherine wrote, i think, in the federalist, if i read this correctly, and i'm not a very good reader, so maybe i didn't. the clinton people made the argument, well, there was no legal wrongdoing, but that's not necessarily the same standard that the trump people are being held to. i think the trump people can argue that maybe there's no legal wrongdoing, but like, morally, you know, was it right for hillary clinton to have, you know, destroyed machinery or had people -- >> right, my point is, that story was covered and she paid a political price for it. 600 days in a row we covered hillary's e-mails, whic

>> mr. comey, as i recall has testimony -- >> the memo was made -- go ahead. >> said he constructed the memo in a way so that it would not be classified. >> right. >> so i have my doubts whether there's anything in that memo that could ultimately be shielded from this committee. >> that's different saying that information's classified versus you can't get it. >> right. so a conversation between the president and comey is not classified information that he talkeded about might be classified. could the president exert executive privilege over the memo? >> has the memo been provided to the committee? >> no. not the committee as a whole. >> i haven't studied the question so i don't have an opinion -- >> so what we're trying to do is find out were there boundaries and our boundaries intersect. i don't know about you, i would like to know what's in the memo, but i don't want to screw up the prosecution. >> right. so i think the prudent way to proceed is to meet with special counsel mueller to find out w

the previous director james comey said the people of the fbi don't give a rip about politics. but mr. james comey installed as his deputy director, a man who wife ran for the virginia state senate and accepted almost $1 million from the virginia governor. that is a lot of money for one state senate seat. governor mcauliffe is a longtime friend and fundraiser for the clintons and the democratic party. deputy director met with him about his wife's political plans and his official fbi biography was used in setting up a meeting and the goal was for him to close the deal and get his wife to run for office. the office of special counsel is reviewing whether that coordination was a violation which prohibits partisan political coordination by fbi officials. the inspector general is reviewing whether he should have been recused from the clinton investigation based on his financial ties to the clinton political network. he was also named in a sex discrimination lawsuit by a female fbi agent who alleged retaliation. just last week it was reported that lieutenant general michael flynn wrote a le

let's listen to that moment and we'll have a conversation about it. >> in the case of mr. comey-- the president comey -- no, sir. >> the case of president trump, you -- an ongoing investigation. you're going to have to help me out here. in other words we're complete the investigation or anything that former secretary clinton had to do with the campaign's over and we didn't have to worry about it anymore. >> with respect to circumstance -- i'm a little confused senator. >> so sanjay we discussed it at the time we didn't know what we know now. i asked if it was related he said well he stayed up late watching a baseball game do you remember? do you think it was realized to the tumor now knowing what you know? >> well, i asked his doctors again today, and they sort of say the same thing. it's possible that that's this tumor and the blood clot could be related. the reason they hesitate and the reason i hesitate with you asked me earlier in the week because this portion -- this part of the brain is not really responsible for speech or your able to remember. what senator mccain was kpl

the case where mr. comey b be o-- took off with u.s. government records, they were not his to take in the first place. and mishandling national defense information, i am also a former special agent of army counter intelligence, i have done the destinations like open question here. see mr. keepy is introuble, he essentially flaunted the fact that he broke the rules and laws. it is outrageous. . >> as you listen too senator warner there. in catherine's report, trying to mitigate the issues on behoff of former fbi director. >> the then fbi director is in a private meeting discussing person matters with the president, that right there, stop. the nature of that relationship in the communications that occurred, just by their essence and fact it occurred is not by 9 likely too be classified not acknowledged in the media. >> this is outrageous, no matter when else, legal information, whatever. for this man to have such grand illusions of himself and his prerogg prerogative is significant. >> and get this, think about it, he goes in front of the

investigation by the justice department and fbi, not compromise bit of a joke that went on last year with mr. comeymisapplying the law, fbi granting immunity, everyone ignoring evidence of document destructiontio, and other things be we need a new set of eyes looking at this. it does not mean that mrs. clinton has to be prosecuted. but we have to make sure that american people have confidence that whatever went on, it has been carefully evaluated. liz: switching gears, the ruling that massachusetts cannot detain illegal immigrants without charges, one i.c.e. field office director in boston responding saying, while i.c.e. is reviewing this decision, this ruling weakening local law enforcement agents ability to protect their community. is the court correct in this ruling? undocumented immigrants do have constitutional rights according to supreme court. they are entitled to equal protect under the law, this is a civil violation subject to deportation to be here illegally, right? >> it is a crime to be here illegally. there -- >> not according to scotus. >> with respect o. being clear 3 here 30 days or

this was the problem with mr. comey. this is the problem with the justice department. this is the problem with congress. he think it's the mob. all these independent people have to kiss the ring. they have taken an oath to the tie constitution and the united states of america. that's how he ran his private businesses. that's his ego unfurled and really flying high now. it's just incompatible with our constitutional democratic system. >> thank you all. straight ahead, breaking news. the death toll in a tragic accident in texas now stands at nine. we have new details on a horrifying discovery inside a tractor trailer in san antonio in that walmart parking lot. stay with us. what's going on here? um...i'm babysitting. that'll be $50 bucks. you said $30. # rescue workers only trust dawn, because it's tough on grease yet gentle. i am home, i am home, i am home america's small business owners. and here's to the heroes behind the heroes, who use their expertise to keep those businesses covered. and here's to the heroes behind the heroes behind the heroes, who brought us delic

mr. comey's job, on that basis alone she should step down. >> mueller is compromised because he wanted tose he interviewed with the president for comey's job after he stepped down. >> so? >> that's a very clear conflict. >> how has the justice department historically determined conflicts of interest? would this job interview that's being discussed there, would this fall in line with past exampl examples? >> well, i'm not an expert on this subject. but the justice department itself has a very careful and strict screening process. and i'm sure this was presented to them. and it it's not, it should be. but yoefbl that's a conflict of interest. clearly mueller preferred working for the justice department than taking a job from trump himself. so i don't think that this presents any conflict at interest at all. but it could have should have been reviewed. no question about that. >> i want to get to the issue of pardons here. let's assume the president can pardon himself. but if the president pardons himself his family members from all matters related to the russian investigation, bill will that
