RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
LEMON: "Does Jeff Sessions think this is going to keep him from groveling to the president?
SWERLDICK: " I’m not sure. Quick McCabe specific point on this. Simply that, look, to me, this reminds of the Comey firing. It seems like even though as Josh said this should be a situation where if someone in the FBI, including McCccabe, has not been fully truthful, then they have to face the consequences. But this looks like a punishment in search of a transgression. Rather than a transgression that’s followed by a punishment. You remember when Comey was fired last may, there were two reasons given. There was the Rosenstein memo which said it had to do with the Clinton investigation. The president’s letter to Comey met — referenced the president asking Comey, I asked you three times in I was under investigation. Then there was the Lester holt interview. There’s the disconnect. What is the president really thinking when these people are being let go. In terms of the bigger picture you’re asking about, I would say this. It’s a profile in cowardice that the president or the attorney general don’t come out in front of cameras during, you know, regular business hours and say what’s going on with Mccabe, Ryan made the point, why is Jeff Sessions even the one making this decision when he’s supposed to be recused from anything, touching the Russia investigation, the special counsel investigation, and why ultimately are they making decisions that appear to be political, even if there may be a thread of actual due process involved in this, especially when you’re talking about a career FBI official."
LEMON: "Misleading statement dshs right after the break, Josh, if you can wait. I wanted to make sure I get everyone in here. We’ll talk about those alleged misleading statements and more on why the deputy director of the FBI is fired late on a Friday night. We’ll be right back.
(Vo) All Right is in the water... All Right is in the air. All Right says I do.
