“That’s possible… but my point still stands,” Goldberg replied. James Comey was clearly making the case, laying the groundwork,” she said. “I think it’s naive to think that that would not have happened otherwise. John Roberts, who was filling in for host Bret Baier, tried to insert himself back into the conversation, but Hemingway cut him off to continue her exchange with Goldberg. “It also got him a special prosecutor,” Goldberg snarked. “It got him to admit that he did say ‘ Michael Flynn was a good guy’… It got him to also admit that he pledged his ‘honest loyalty’ to Donald Trump, which is contrary to what he said to The New York Times the day before that hearing.” “That tweet got James Comey to admit that he did three times tell Trump that he wasn’t under investigation,” she continued. Hemingway referred back to the initial tweet and said that “Comey had already been leaking” his memos. “What allegations are there that Trump has been surreptitiously recorded without his approval?” It’s not insane at all to think there might be surveillance since.” She added, “You’ve had nothing but months of leaks from intelligence agencies about people affiliated with the Trump campaign or otherwise. “That’s a pretty provocative charge to make,” Goldberg added, “I thought that was the more offensive part of it.” Goldberg kicked off the conversation by saying he never cared about the initial tweet, which he referred to as a “bluff,” but what struck him was Trump’s subtle insinuation that members of “the deep state” are bugging the Oval Office. Thursday night’s Special Report panel got pretty heated between National Review‘s Jonah Goldberg and The Federalist‘s Mollie Hemingway when discussing President Donald Trump‘s Twitter admission that he does not know of any tapes of his conversations with former FBI Director James Comey.
