| This is an iHeart Podcast. | |
| The Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Justice released a report of investigation of the certain allegations related to the former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe. | |
| We're sifting through that even as we speak. | |
| But the conclusion is we concluded that McCabe's decision to confirm the existence of the Clinton Foundation investigation through an anonymously sourced quote. | |
| This was in the Wall Street Journal. | |
| It's like 40 pages. | |
| It goes deep. | |
| It does a deep dive into this, recounting the content of a phone call with a senior department official in a manner designed to advance his personal interests at the expense of department leadership was clearly not within the public interest exception. | |
| And it just a huge, huge disparity in terms of what recollections were between McCabe and Comey. | |
| Rod Rosenstein is now running around telling people he expects to get fired any minute, and he's telling Confidance that he expects that. | |
| Now, who would leak that but Rod Rosenstein himself, anyway, uh in conversations that he's quoted with friends, he's saying, Here I stand, a reference to Martin Luther King's famous quote, here I stand, I can do no other. | |
| And coincidentally, the former FBI director James Comey, who Rosenstein fired, repeated the same phrase to George W. Bush in a conversation that has been widely reported and that Comey describes in his in his book that is released Monday. | |
| We have a lot more information on that book. | |
| One sport source who spoke to Rosenstein said he seemed fully aware that he may soon lose his job, and he's at peace with the possibility. | |
| Confident he had done his job with integrity, and that history will prove he did the right thing by firing Comey in May of 2017. | |
| We're beginning to put that together very quickly, claiming that the American people do not have all the facts about what led to his decision to write the memo that led to Comey's dismissal, the source said. | |
| And if Rosenstein is fired next, well, the next in line to oversee the Mueller pro would be the solicitor general, Noel Francisco, though Trump could choose to replace Rosenstein with anyone who's been confirmed by the Senate. | |
| Now, Trump tweeted this morning that Rosenstein was perhaps more conflicted than Mueller because he signed a FISA and Comey letter. | |
| That's all true. | |
| We've been pointing it out. | |
| Alan Dershowitz has been out there, you know, saying uh the the exact same thing that he should have recused himself because he's witness number one in a lot of this investigation. | |
| Why did you fire Comey? | |
| Why did you write the letter to fire Comey? | |
| And on top of that, he appointed Robert Mueller, and he's conflicted out a hundred different ways and sideways. | |
| Anyway, there's reports in some of the news today that Rosenstein consulted with ethics advisors over the course of the investigation on the issue of whether he should recuse himself. | |
| Well, he should have recused himself. | |
| You know, how could you be the person that renews the Pfizer warrant using the phony unpaid uncorroborated, unverified dossier, and maybe twice he did it, at least once we know he did it. | |
| How can you be that guy? | |
| And then how can you be the guy that puts Mueller in place? | |
| You can't. | |
| That's a conflict. | |
| I mean, especially if we're using the the Jeff Sessions standard, which is which frankly became borderline ridiculous and everything. |
