Bottom. so i think if we look at the fact that the president is still focused on andrew mccabe, we cant discount the idea that this is something that he actually wants us to be talking about. >> aaron, thats really -- thats an interesting way of looking at it. to your point, he is getting air support on the deep state argument on fox news all evening, every evening. shannon, from time to time i ask you about the business of this presidency from the point of view of citizens and taxpayers. how mu...

Its not about the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, or about these press aides wanting to talk to these people, explaining these things in oftentimes misleading ways. i think that goes through james mattis firing. the president said he fired me and mattis resigned. we also saw it around the comey firing, where the white house blows anything out of proportion. >> on this broadcast, any meeting in your family office that you have to have a russian translator present for should ma...

Other lawyers, other press aides, other staffers trying to put together a statement. thats just my little window into this level of confusion just that one night that was going on around this flynn firing. there were days of that. as we know from sally yates testimony about going to don mccann and mcgahn trying to figure out what the situation was. i know people in the white house were trying to figure out, had flynn just remembered, the vice president was brought in and the vice president was g...

Andrew mccabe is saying. im not sure thats actually the case in this situation. if you look at the two things that andrew mccabe has really confirmed, the two big things hes confirmed in recent days, one is the idea that there were officials within the justice department who were talking about the 25th amendment. the other is the opening of the counterintelligence investigation that had been reported via anonymous sources a few weeks ago. i think both of those actually feed into what the preside...

The morning after michael flynn left the white house, we had kellyanne conway come out and say that he had resigned voluntarily. it was only that afternoon, a day later after michael flynn had left the white house, that sean spicer said the things you played in the video, that it was actually something that the president requested. i think what were learning as we learn more about these episodes is that its not just about chaos in the white house. its not about the left hand not knowing what the...

Oftentimes in misleading ways. and thats something that i think goes through most recently james mattiss firing, where the president has said he fired him even though mattis resigned. we also saw it around the comey firing where the white house really struggled to explain it and then we had the president come out and blow it all up with his lester holt interview. you know, as we move forward, we just keep learning about how the president played a hand in these things and at this point it shouldn...

The former fbi acting director of treason, just last evening, and we didnt even think to mention it on this broadcast. shannon pettypiece and aaron blake remain here with us. aaron, there is usually when you look back at the tweets and learn what you learn in real time, there is usually always a reason for it. and think of this, think about what an awful weekend it was. we now know "the times" had called the white house looking for comment on this sweeping piece that was coming out. it could be ...

I know people in the white house were trying to figure out, had flynn just remembered, the vice president was brought in and the vice president was giving false statements, bud he had misled the vice president and that was the reason he had been fired and the story evolved from there. it really goes back to the chaos of those really early days that makes the chaos today look like some sort of organization. >> aaron, the notion of a story and a cover story to mask the truth, does it remind you of...

We also saw it around the comey firing, where the white house blows anything out of proportion. i think that goes through james mattis firing. the president said he fired me and mattis resigned. we also saw it around the comey firing, where the white house blows anything out of proportion. >> on this broadcast, any meeting in your family office that you have to have a russian translator present for should maybe set off alarm bells. anyway, shannon and aaron have agreed to stick around a bit lo...

Several investigations he is subject to. according to a count by "the new york times," quote, trump has publicly attacked the russia investigation more than 1,100 times since taking office. that comes out to at least once on 330 days or more than 43% of his time in office. staggering. by our own count, he spent more time on twitter this week focused on former acting fbi director andrew mccabe than any other single subject, that includes our seemingly ongoing national emergency at the southern bo...
