Well, my key takeaway was the FBI has lost a very good man and a very good leader. I think it's pretty clear he refused to lay off of the Flynn investigation. He refused to raise the cloud or stop the Russia investigation. And he refused to pledge loyalty to a president and for that he got fired. And that's really too bad. That's not what this country is about. And the FBI should be separate. And it should function based on law and not based on the political nature of a presidency.
