Mark Warner: ‘Unthinkable’ If Trump Stopped Comey from Testifying

‘I think we have known since Watergate that rules of the road were, you know, a president shouldn’t intervene in an ongoing investigation’

RUSH EXCERPT:
WARNER: "Well, we are going to have at the Wednesday hearing ODNI Director Coats and NSA head Admiral Rogers. The press has reported that both of those individuals had some level of pressure from the president to downplay the Russian investigation. I want to ask those individuals directly, did they have that kind of pressure, can they report on those conversations they had with the president, because it would be very concerning. And then, obviously, Thursday, we have former FBI Director Comey. And I think we have known since Watergate that rules of the road were, you know, a president shouldn’t intervene in an ongoing investigation, particularly the case if it involves individuals that are close to that president. And it would be unthinkable if the president actually did what was reported, asked FBI Director Comey to, in effect, back off of at least the investigation into General Flynn."
