Kamala Harris Has A Question For Comey

YESTERDAY WHILE GRILLING THE FOUR INTELLIGENCE CHIEF, KAMALA
HARRIS TRIED TO NAIL THEM DOWN ON AN IMPORTANT TOPIC, THAT IS
THE SPECIAL COUNSEL INVESTIGATING POSSIBLE
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.
WOULD THIS BE AN INDEPENDENT
INVESTIGATION, OR WILL PEOPLE LIKE ROSENSTEIN, WHO YOU WILL
SEE IN THE VIDEO, BE ABLE TO INFLUENCE IT OR MEDDLE IN IT?
SHE TRIED YESTERDAY, LET'S WATCH THAT.
YOU WOULD PUT IN WRITING AN INDICATION BASED ON YOUR
AUTHORITY AS THE ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL THAT HE HAS FULL
INDEPENDENCE IN REGARDS TO THE INVESTIGATIONS THAT ARE BEFORE
HIM.
ARE YOU WILLING OR NOT WILLING TO GIVE HIM THE
AUTHORITY TO BE FULLY INDEPENDENT OF YOUR ABILITY,
STATUTORILY AND LEGALLY, TO FIRE HIM?
HE HAS -- BUT YES OR NO, SIR.
HE HAS THE FULL INDEPENDENCE AS AUTHORIZED BY THIS --
WILL THE SENATOR SUSPEND?
THE CHAIR WILL EXERCISE ITS RIGHT TO
ALLOW THE WITNESSES TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, AND THE COMMITTEE
IS ON NOTICE TO PROVIDE THE WITNESSES THE COURTESY, WHICH
HAS NOT BEEN EXTENDED ALL THE WAY ACROSS, EXTEND THE COURTESY
FOR QUESTIONS TO GET ANSWERED.
MR.
CHAIRMAN, RESPECTFULLY, I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT
THIS WITNESS HAS JOKED, AS WE ALL HAVE, BUT HIS ABILITY
TO FILIBUSTER.
MR.
ROSENSTEIN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO THOROUGHLY ANSWER THE
QUESTION?
THANK YOU, MR.
CHAIRMAN, I'M NOT JOKING.
IF
YOU WATCHED YESTERDAY, YOU KNOW THAT DUDE LOVES TO FILIBUSTER.
HE WILL SPIN YOU IN CIRCLES.
HE DID FILIBUSTER AFTER THE EXCHANGE YOU JUST SAW, AND
HARRIS'S TIME RAN OUT AND HE DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION.
SHE
KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO, WHICH IS WHY SHE WAS
CALLING HIM OUT, AND OF COURSE SHE GOT TALKED DOWN TO BY A
MEMBER OF THE GOP.
I'M SURE A LOT OF WOMEN ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH THE SORT
OF INTERACTION YOU SAW THERE.
NO, PEOPLE QUESTION THE
WITNESSES, THEY INTERRUPT IF A CERTAIN FILIBUSTER -- IT DOESN'T
ALWAYS GENERATE THAT SORT OF RESPONSE FROM THE CHAIRMAN.
IT
SEEMS TO FOR SOME REASON IN THIS CASE, ODDLY ENOUGH.
BUT FOR
WHATEVER REASON WE WILL GIVE THOSE SENATORS FIVE TO SEVEN
MINUTES ON AN IMPORTANT TOPIC TO QUESTION THESE PEOPLE.
PEOPLE
LIKE ROSENSTEIN KNOW THAT THEY CAN DANCE AROUND AND WASTE A
CHUNK OF THAT TIME.
SHE WAS TRYING NOT TO LET THAT HAPPEN, AND SHE IS AFTER
ALL THE SENATOR, ROSENSTEIN WAS TRYING TO AVOID ANSWERING
HER QUESTIONS.
SHE DIDN'T GET AN ANSWER FROM HIM BUT SHE BROUGHT UP THE
TOPIC WITH COMEY TODAY.
YOU BELIEVE HE SHOULD HAVE FULL INDEPENDENCE?
YES, AND HE WOULDN'T BE PART OF IT IF HE WASN'T GOING TO
GET FULL INDEPENDENCE.
THERE, HE SHOULD GET IT, WE DON'T KNOW IF YOU WILL GET IT,
BECAUSE THAT'S COMEY, WHO IS NO LONGER IN POWER.
SHE DID SEND
OUT A SET OF TWEETS SHOWING SHE WOULD NOT BACK OFF THE TOPIC.
SHE SAID, KEY POINT, COMEY TOLD ROSENSTEIN ABOUT HIS CONCERNS
ABOUT TRUMP MEETINGS, THEN ROSENSTEIN STILL WROTE THE MEMO
JUSTIFYING HIS FIRING.
ROSENSTEIN'S MEMO HAS SHOWN TO
BE 100% LIES, BY THE WAY.
ROSENSTEIN NOW OVERSEES THE
SPECIAL INVESTIGATION RUN BY MUELLER, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE
SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT.
TODAY, COMEY AFFIRMED UNDER OATH
THAT MUELLER SHOULD HAVE FULL INDEPENDENCE, BUT THAT AT THE
END OF THE DAY ISN'T THE ANSWER THAT SHE OR WE WANT, AND IT
STILL POSSIBLE THAT ROSENSTEIN OR WHOEVER ENDS UP BEING HIS
SUPERIOR COULD INTERFERE.
IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT TRUMP COULD
SIMPLY FIRE ROBERT MUELLER IF HE WANTS TO.
THAT WOULD LOOK QUESTIONABLE, BUT FIRING COMEY LOOKS
QUESTIONABLE.
IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE HE MINDS IF SOMETHING WAS QUESTIONABLE.
I DON'T THINK HE THINKS ABOUT RAMIFICATIONS.
I WONDER IF HE WAS SHOCKED THAT THERE WAS BACKLASH AFTER
COMEY'S FIRING.
IT WAS LEAKED THAT HE WAS, BUT WHO KNOWS?
I WANT TO BE FAIR, COMEY'S ANSWER WASN'T JUST THAT ONE
SENTENCE WHERE HE SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT OR HAVE
INDEPENDENCE, HE ALSO SAID HE WOULDN'T BE PART OF THIS UNLESS
HE HAS THAT INDEPENDENCE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW COMEY KNOWS THAT
--
I'M SURE HE'S TALKING TO HIM.
RIGHT.
MUELLER CAN BELIEVE OR WHAT WHATEVER HE WANTS, HE'S A
SMART MAN AND HE KNOWS THIS PROCESS, BUT HE'S NOT IN
CONTROL OF THE ACTIONS OF THE HEAD OF THE FBI OR TRUMP.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES, THIS IS AN
UNCOMFORTABLE STORY TO EVEN COMMENT ON, BECAUSE A LOT OF IT
IS BASED ON INTERPRETATION OF SPECIFIC WORDING, INTERPRETATION
OF WHAT SOMEONE MEANS, AND THEY COULD MEAN SOMETHING COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT, A LOT OF VAGUE LANGUAGE IS THROWN AROUND.
JUST
BE AWARE, THERE'S A LOT OF SPECULATION GOING ON AND I DON'T
WANT ANYONE TO THINK, LIKE, EVERYTHING IS CLEAR CUT, CUT AND
DRY -- THAT'S NOT
THE CASE.
