| 0:00.0 | Well, they're back. This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago. |
| 0:09.0 | And this won't be the end of it. But nothing has changed with me. I'm still innocent. |
| 0:15.0 | I'm still not afraid. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary so let's go this won't be the |
| 0:25.0 | end of it hi again everybody it's now five o'clock it was almost exactly one year ago the former |
| 0:30.4 | director of the FBI Jim Comey was on this program at this table talking about that picture of seashells |

| 0:40.4 | They spell out 8, 6, 4, 7. |
| 0:43.8 | And he's continuing to stand by what he told us then. |

| 1:40.1 | transmitted an interstate commerce a threat to kill the president. The federal judge has set a day |
| 1:46.6 | for his trial of July 15th. The case is so weak and farfetched that as we've reported on this |
| 1:54.0 | program, even some of Donald Trump's staunchest legal allies have decried it as an unconstitutional |
