  • THE REPORT DEMONSTRATES HE LIED.

  • THEY'VE GIVEN HIM A BREAK.

  • >> Jon: NEW REACTION CONTINUES

  • TO POUR IN ON A SCATHING

  • DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

  • INSPECTOR GENERAL'S REPORT ON

  • JAMES COMEY.

  • THE IG FORMS OF FORMER FBI

  • DIRECTOR AND HIS MEETINGS WITH

  • PRESIDENT TRUMP.

  • "THE NEW YORK POST" RUN PAGE

  • BLARING LEAKER OF THE FREE

  • WORLD.

  • LET'S BRING IN OUR HEADLINER,

  • FORMER INDEPENDENT COUNSEL AND A

  • FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR.

  • YOU ARE A GUY WHO COULD TAKE

  • APART SOME LEGAL ISSUES AND MAKE

  • THEM VERY SENSIBLE.

  • I MISS ANYTHING IN THE COVERAGE

  • AND THE ASSESSMENT OF

  • INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT?

  • >> A 60 PAGE REPORT, IT'S SO

  • COMPREHENSIVE AND THAT IS SO

  • DEVASTATING WHAT WAS VERY

  • REVEALING TO ME WAS WELL

  • JIM COMEY WHILE HE WAS

  • PROTECTING THE FBI, HE WASN'T AT

  • ALL AND THAT'S THE CONCLUSION OF

  • AN HONEST CIVIL SERVANT NAMED

  • MICHAEL HOROWITZ.

  • COMEY VIOLATED TIME AND AGAIN

  • FBI RULES, REGULATION, PROTOCOL.

  • >> Sandra: THEY DECIDED NOT TO

  • PROSECUTE, WHY NOT?

  • >> THERE IS NO PROOF OF HIS

  • LEAKING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.

  • SOME OF THE MEMOS THAT HE

  • PREPARED FOR CLASSIFIED BUT HE

  • AT LEAST WAS CAREFUL IN TERMS OF

  • WHAT HE LEAKED AND ESPIONAGE

  • LAWS AND THE OTHER LAWS THAT GO

  • TO PROTECTING DECLASSIFIED

  • INFORMATION IS FAIRLY LIMITED.

  • HE WAS PROFESSIONALLY WRONG,

  • MORALLY WRONG, SELF-RIGHTEOUS

  • AND DID NOT COMMIT A CRIME.

  • >> Sandra: A PIECE, SHE WRITES

  • HE CLEARLY DETESTED MR. TRUMP

  • FROM THE START.

  • HE ABUSED HIS POWER AND USE THE

  • HIS SNEAKY TRICK TO UNDERMINE

  • THE PRESIDENCY.

  • IT SHOULD DISTURB AMERICANS THAT

  • A MAN WHO IS NOW BEEN REPEATEDLY

  • ADMONISHED FOR ACTING

  • UNILATERALLY HELPED POSITIONS OF

  • POWER FOR SO LONG.

  • BASED ON THE RESPONSE FROM THE

  • DOJ THAT HE WILL NOT GO TO JAIL

  • IT WILL NOT BE PROSECUTED, WHICH

  • WOULD DETER THIS FROM HAPPENING

  • AGAIN?

  • THE MATTRESS TO HAVE A

  • PROFESSIONAL REPUTATION SELLING

  • THE WAY THIS REPORT DEVASTATES

  • JAMES COMEY, IT REALLY DOES.

  • AND THIS IS NOT PERSONAL, YOU

  • DELIBERATELY SET OUT ON A

  • PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT AND HE KNEW

  • IT TO BE WRONG.

  • THAT IS TO SAY, THE REPORT MAKES

  • IT VERY CLEAR THAT NOT ONLY AN

  • EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL AND THE

  • JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND THE FBI,

  • HE HAD BEEN SPECIFICALLY TRAINED

  • AND THEN HE HAD FURTHER

  • TRAINING.

  • THE REPORT IS SO VALUABLE

  • BECAUSE IT JUST DOCUMENTS TIME

  • AND AGAIN THAT HE WAS SO WILLFUL

  • AND WHAT HE WAS DOING IN

  • PREPARING THESE MEMORANDA AND

  • THEN ESPECIALLY THE LEAKING OF

  • THE MEMORANDA TO

  • "THE NEW YORK TIMES" THROUGH HIS

  • ATTORNEY AND A FRIEND AT

  • COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.

  • ABSOLUTELY UNPARDONABLE SO HE'S

  • BEEN CALLED OUT.

  • >> Jon: THE PRESIDENT TWEETED

  • THIS, "THE FACT THAT JAMES COMEY

  • WAS NOT PROSECUTED FOR THE

  • ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE THINGS HE

  • DID JUST SHOWS HOW FAIR AND

  • REASONABLE ATTORNEY GENERAL

  • BILL BARR IS.

  • SO MANY PEOPLE AND EXPERTS THAT

  • I HAVE WATCHED AND READ WOULD

  • HAVE TAKEN AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT

  • COURSE.

  • COMEY GOT LUCKY."

  • IS MR. PRESIDENT RIGHT ON THAT?

  • >> I THINK BILL BARR IS A

  • CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL AND EVEN

  • THOUGH HE'S BEEN UNFAIRLY

  • CRITICIZED IN CONNECTION WITH

  • THE MUELLER REPORT, WHAT WE SEE

  • NOW IS HE IS A STAND-UP GUY WHO

  • MAKES THE TOUGH DECISIONS AND HE

  • IS GOING TO MAKE IT BASED ON THE

  • FACTS.

  • HE DID THE RIGHT THING.

  • >> Sandra: FORMER DEPUTY

  • GENERAL ROD ROSENSTEIN APPEARED

  • TO TAKE A SHOT AT FORMER FBI

  • DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY IN THIS

  • RESPONSE ON TWITTER.

  • HE SAID IT IS IMPORTANT TO

  • FOLLOW ESTABLISHED POLICIES AND

  • PROCEDURES ESPECIALLY WHEN THE

  • STAKES ARE HIGH.

  • WE SHOULD BE MOST ON GUARD WHEN

  • WE BELIEVE THAT OUR OWN

  • UNCOMFORTABLE CIRCUMSTANCES

  • JUSTIFIED IGNORING PRINCIPLES

  • RESPECTED BY OUR PREDECESSORS.

  • HE WAS TALKING EARLIER, SOMEONE

  • WHO HAD KNOWN JAMES COMEY FOR

  • SOME TIME, ALSO SAYING HOW LONG

  • HE HAS KNOWN JAMES COMEY AND

  • JUST THE SHEER DISAPPOINTMENT

  • FOR SOME OF THEIR COLLEAGUES AND

  • FRIENDS OF THE PAST.

  • >> THE REPORT ITSELF OR

  • MICHAEL HOROWITZ DOCUMENTS THE

  • FACT THAT THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED

  • WITH JAMES COMEY'S, NAMES THAT

  • WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH SUCH AS

  • PETER STRZOK WERE DISAPPOINTED

  • TO LEARN WHAT HE HAD DONE IN

  • TERMS OF THE LEAKING TO

  • "THE NEW YORK TIMES," THAT THEY

  • WERE SHOCKED THEY WERE

  • SURPRISED.

  • SO THIS HAS BEEN A RECKONING FOR

  • JIM COMEY IN TERMS OF HIS.

  • >> Sandra: YOU WOULDN'T KNOW

  • THAT BY LOOKING AT HIS TWITTER

  • FEED BECAUSE HE ALMOST

  • INSTANTANEOUSLY REACTED ON

  • TWITTER FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF

  • THIS REPORT CLAIMING

  • VINDICATION.

  • >> THAT WAS VERY ODD BUT THERE'S

  • THE OLD EXPRESSION, NONE SO

  • BLIND AS THOSE WHO WILL NOT SEE.

  • THIS REPORT IS DEVASTATING TO

  • JAMES COMEY'S CONDUCT IN THE

  • MOST IMPORTANT KIND OF PART OF

  • HIS WORK AND THAT IS HIS

  • RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PRESIDENT

  • OF THE UNITED STATES, DULY

  • ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE, SO THE

  • DESCRIPTION THAT SHE ARTICULATED

  • UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE COUNTRY,

  • WE WANT HONEST FBI AGENTS AND

  • LEADERS.

  • >> Jon: IT APPEARS THAT HE HAD

  • BEEN READING UP ON THE

  • STEELE DOSSIER WELL BEFORE HE

  • TOOK OFFICE.

  • HE FELT THAT THIS WAS NOT GOING

  • TO BE SUITED TO THE OVAL OFFICE

  • THAT HE WANTED TO TAKE STEPS TO

  • IMPUGN HIM AT THE VERY LEAST.

  • IF A METHOD IS PUTTING ONESELF

  • ABOVE THE PROCESS, SUCH

  • CONFIDENCE ON YOUR OWN JUDGMENT

THE REPORT DEMONSTRATES HE LIED.
