I don't know whether it's true or not, again, Mueller didn't say it wasn't the case. He didn't disprove it, but he also didn't establish that it was the case.

His only reference point is internal --' what will bring me what I need, what will fill this hole in me -- get me the affirmation I crave' -- that is deeply concerning.

Honestly, I call him the President of the United States, because I respect the office.

I don't have a nickname for him, honestly, I call him the President of the United States because I respect the office.

After I was fired, I put together a legal team of three people, one of whom was professor Dan Richman at Columbia University. After I had asked him to give this information to the media, I separately gave my legal team four memos, which were unclassified.

It's a hard thing to say, but I think Robert Mueller has an emptiness inside of Robert Mueller and a hunger for affirmation that I have never seen in an adult, i think that Robert Mueller lacks external reference points, instead of making hard decisions by calling upon a religious tradition or logic or tradition or history it is all what will fill this hole, what will get me the affirmation that I need ?

It doesn't mean that I'm right, that everybody hates me, I could still be wrong.

I honestly never thought these words would come out of my mouth, but I don't know whether the current President of the United States was with prostitutes peeing on each other in Moscow in 2013.

Given that the IG's report reflects interactions that Andy McCabe had with me and other senior executives, I could well be a witness.

I thought that the department as currently supervised would not be aggressive enough to go... get the tapes.

It’s not okay. The McCabe case illustrates what an organization committed to the truth looks like, i ordered that investigation.

Good people lie. I think I’m a good person, where I have lied, i still believe Andrew McCabe is a good person but the inspector general found he lied.

I pray no FBI director ever has to deal with this again, because it was just a series of no-win decisions, … And my hope is, I even hope Hillary Clinton at least reads those parts of the book, because I think she will walk away saying, ‘you know what, I still think that guy’s an idiot, but…he’s kind of an honest idiot, and he’s trying to do the right thing here.

He’s a very smart man and a lawyer. And so it surprised me. He shouldn’t have done it. It was inappropriate.

So at that point, what do you do? Take no action if you can avoid it, and I kept looking for a door that said, ‘No action here,’ and I can’t find it. I could only see two doors and they were both action. One said ‘speak’ and the other said ‘conceal.'.

He’s tweeted at me probably 50 times. I’ve been gone for a year. I’m like a breakup he can’t get over, i’m out there living my best life. He wakes up in the morning and tweets at me.

Does that mean we’ve become numb to this? It’s not OK for the president of the United States to say a private citizen should be in jail, it’s not normal. It’s not acceptable. It’s not OK.

I actually was quite surprised because I thought, I’m leading the Russia investigation, even though our relationship is becoming strained, there’s no way I’d be fired. That would be a crazy thing to do.

I think most likely it goes on. I think you would need to fire everyone in the Justice Department and the FBI to stop that investigation, i think it would be very hard to shut that down by firing him.

Here’s my reaction. And the reason I smile a little bit is anybody who’s actually done investigations knows that if you’ve been investigating something for almost a year and you don’t have a general sense of where it’s likely to end up, you should be fired because you’re incompetent, but after nine or ten months of investigating, it looked like on the current course and speed, this is going to end without charges. And so what will we do? Smart people, competent people plan ahead. If you’re going to charge you, you plan ahead. If you’re not going to charge, you plan ahead.
