Josh Holmes: ‘Idea’ Trump Could Bury the ‘FBI Investigation By Firing’ Comey ‘Is Laughable’

CE Yes That s ░░░░░░░░ of the astonishing things ░░░░░░░░ it it seemed to ░░░░░░░░ and we re told ░░░░░░░░ he had no legal ░░░░░░░░ before he went out ░░░░░░░░ talked And there are ░░░░░░░░ kinds of potential issues ░░░░░░░░ issues he raised I ░░░░░░░░ to talk about the ░░░░░░░░ central figure in all ░░░░░░░░ and that s James ░░░░░░░░ It s been reported ░░░░░░░░ his testimony before Congress ░░░░░░░░ week before last upset ░░░░░░░░ president Here s a ░░░░░░░░ of that testimony BEGIN ░░░░░░░░ CLIP James Comey FORMER ░░░░░░░░ DIRECTOR It makes me ░░░░░░░░ nauseous to think that ░░░░░░░░ might have had some ░░░░░░░░ on the election I ░░░░░░░░ at speak and conceal ░░░░░░░░ would be really bad ░░░░░░░░ s an election in ░░░░░░░░ days Lordy that would ░░░░░░░░ really bad Concealing in ░░░░░░░░ view would be catastrophic ░░░░░░░░ VIDEO CLIP Wallace Josh ░░░░░░░░ are two competing narratives ░░░░░░░░ James Comey One is ░░░░░░░░ he is an incorruptible ░░░░░░░░ shooter the other as ░░░░░░░░ president said is that ░░░░░░░░ is a showboat and ░░░░░░░░ grandstander From your point ░░░░░░░░ view you re a ░░░░░░░░ strategist did Comey overstepped ░░░░░░░░ situation as FBI director ░░░░░░░░ role and did he ░░░░░░░░ to go Josh HOLMES ░░░░░░░░ CAVALRY Yes I think ░░░░░░░░ s no question about ░░░░░░░░ Chris I think that ░░░░░░░░ d be hard pressed ░░░░░░░░ find anyone in public ░░░░░░░░ where there s more ░░░░░░░░ consensus about whether or ░░░░░░░░ they were the best ░░░░░░░░ to lead the department ░░░░░░░░ ve got everybody from ░░░░░░░░ across the board ideologically ░░░░░░░░ Yes However a lot ░░░░░░░░ them pulled that back ░░░░░░░░ week HOLMES Sure And ░░░░░░░░ sort of gives you ░░░░░░░░ too But I think ░░░░░░░░ the important part is ░░░░░░░░ he the best person ░░░░░░░░ lead the department And ░░░░░░░░ think there was broad ░░░░░░░░ consensus that he was ░░░░░░░░ And so it the ░░░░░░░░ in and of itself ░░░░░░░░ have to remove him ░░░░░░░░ director of FBI I ░░░░░░░░ t think should be ░░░░░░░░ that controversial It s ░░░░░░░░ timing of course which ░░░░░░░░ people pause but also ░░░░░░░░ rollout And I think ░░░░░░░░ s happened here is ░░░░░░░░ the administration has created ░░░░░░░░ lot more smoke for ░░░░░░░░ that is necessary The ░░░░░░░░ that Director Comey and ░░░░░░░░ FBI are taking goes ░░░░░░░░ The idea that in ░░░░░░░░ you could somehow bury ░░░░░░░░ FBI investigation by firing ░░░░░░░░ director is laughable at ░░░░░░░░ And there s two ░░░░░░░░ separate congressional investigations that ░░░░░░░░ happening simultaneously So we ░░░░░░░░ going to get to ░░░░░░░░ bottom of this regardless ░░░░░░░░ whether Director Comey is ░░░░░░░░ the FBI or not.
