it's unqualified. it's not part of his authority to bribe.act of taking money is independently a crime. the very act of lying to the fbi is a crime. that's not constitutionally prote protected. pardoning is, firing is and directing the fbi not to investigate is. >> do you accept that premise that, while you could check the president's authority, you're not in the right category of behavior to do so right now? >> alan is running into -- you're describing watergate differently than what watergate was. the smoking gun tape of june 23rd, 1982 -- >> lied to the fbi, commit a crime. >> no, no. it was using the fbi to stop the watergate investigation -- >> by lying to them. that was the crime. >> what difference does it make? it's still corrupt intent. it's misuse of the fbi. >> if president nixon said, tell the fbi to stop this investigation, there would have been no crime. maybe impeachment, but no crime it's the lying that made it a crime. >> no, it's not that. it's the misuse of the fbi. >> final question before we have our closings. do you thin

congress has a legitimate interest here and the privilege is not unqualified.t has to yield to the institutional imperative for the congress, which is looking into the circumstances of mr. comey's dismissal, which it's entirely justified in doing. >> eric, do you agree if the president in viked it, it wouldn't hold? >> i would certainly agree with what bob said and add one other point. james comey is a private citizen. executive privilege is a shield to protect the administration from congress and the courts trying to extract information perhaps they shouldn't have access to. >> isn't that to avoid chilling the thoughtful open discussion between members of the executive branch advising the president. isn't that the purpose of that? >> yes, it is. >> does it really matter whether comey is on the payroll or not because it would have a chilling effect, would it not, if in fact the privilege were busted that way? >> it could. we recognize that in a free society, former government officials have the ability to talk about what they saw behind the scenes. people write

it was fascinating that comey said why don't you start an inquiry to disprove these unsavory and unqualified. and to pete williams' point, the director saw his role of trying to teach. he said if we even went down that road, it would look like an investigation into your personal conduct. that would be bad for you, mr. president, and number,two it is very hard to prove a negative, even for the fbi. so that would suggest that according to comey's account, that any research would help him which is different than what you think of in terms of obstruction. which is trying to stop an inquiry. but that was on a different topic. when you get to mike flynn, clearly the president thought it would be better if it just went away. >> so a couple things. one is this substantial yates the president's claim in his letter firing jim comey that three times comey told him he wasn't under investigation. according to mr. comey's own prepared testimony, that's correct. there's a very different explanation for the dinner, the loyalty dinner, shall we call it. comey says in the letter that he got the request from t

that's pretty unqualified. attached to that is a memorandum from the deputy attorney general's office where he lays out the reason of his concern and recommendation of removal was because of the handling of the hillary clinton matter. let's take a look at what you just said. the president made the decision before. let's assume there was all kinds of decisions being discussed but this crystallized that decision. the fact of the matter is the president under the constitution has the authority to make the decision and has two men randmos so here is the theory of this purported case from "the washington post." i mean, just think about this for a minute. so the president of the united states takes action to remove the fbi director and he has a recommendation from his attorney general and deputy attorney general to take that action. he's now according to the washington post being investigated by the same department who told him to take that action. that's not constitutional. that's not the way the constitution works.
