RUSH EXCERPT:
BLITZER: "You think these attacks on the FBI, on Mueller, on the Justice Department, are coordinated between the white House and let’s say some on fox News and others in the right-wing media?"
HIMES: "Look, no question. You know, whether there is a hotline between the Oval Office and Fox News, I doubt that’s true, but when the president is talking about the investigation and makes it very clear he wants them over and uses the words “Do something,” you know, people who will sell their souls, betray their integrity in favor of supporting this man. Why you choose to do that I do not know, will do precisely that. People like Sean hannity, who are throwing mud on the FBI, Jeanine Pirro, some of my colleagues. Can you imagine if Barack Obama had attacked the FBI, the protests in the streets we would have seen, the indictments, the investigations? Look. At the end of the day, wolf, whatever you think of the president, when judges are attacked for their ethnicity, when the media W.B. Something that is annoying to politicians but essential to our democracy — the FBI has a storied history. They haven’t always done exactly the right thing. When you are attacking the mechanism of justice of the United States of America, you are setting this country up for a place where no facts are true or false. Anybody can get away with any behavior at all and we will have something that does not look in any way, shape or form like the democracy that has been such a gift to all of us for a long period of time."
