Eric Guster SLAMS Piers Morgan: "Let me finish"
The presenter was chatting to Eric Guster, an American judge, and Ben Ferguson, a radio host, about the US President's decision to fire James when the interview spiralled out of control.
When asked why he believed the FBI head lost his job, Eric explained: "He's [Donald Trump] fired a lot of people who were possibly investigating him and his ties to Russia. That's why he fired him.
"He wants to get rid of the people who know he is colluding with Russia."
Piers then jumped in to ask if he would have had the same opinion when Hillary Clinton lashed out at James last week.

Let me finish!
"If we had you on [the show] last week when Hillary said that James cost her the election and I said, 'Should James Comey keep his job?' I would have bet every dollar that you would have said he should lose his job."
As Eric insisted: "I doubt I would have said that,” before fellow guest Ben exclaimed: "Are you kidding me?"
Piers, 52, was also unconvinced by his remark as he laughed: "That's not a denial Eric."
Infuriated by their response, he snapped: "Let me finish! Hillary lost the election because she did not campaign in certain places."

In attempt to calm things down, Susanna Reid decided to wrap up the debate, explaining: "Okay we have to leave it but Eric and Ben it was good to talk to you."
It came after Piers ripped into Damian Green over reports that Theresa May would like to bring back fox hunting.
The presenter slammed the controversial sport as "inhumane" and "unhealthy" for foxes insisting there are better ways to keep them away from farms than hunting.
