>> they did not know that mark felt was also deep throat, the code name for the secret source, reporting of the washington post that exposed the watergate scandal. thats what obstruction of justice sound like. according to with his conversation of the president obstruction of justice sounds like this. i hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting flynn go, mr. trump told mr. comey, according to the memo. he is a good guy.

Explain that for us. >> it means that its a compartmented program, the compartments got a code name to it. sometimes that material leaks out. the stuxnet virus against iran was called olympic games. that was a code name for that. so thats not all unusual, but it does tell you that it is the most secret and carefully guarded data and that would be all the more reason that the president would want to go through the kind of process that jim sciutto just described to you. and if this was done as dav...

Felt compelled to leak this to "the washington post." >> how serious is this? as intel goes, all we know is this was kind of code name protected, or code name referred to, masking obviously as much as possible given the operation a code name. i guess the direct question, do you think this raises questions about fitness for office? you wouldnt be the first person in the coverage of this story to mention that. >> the first thing i would say is thankfully that our colleagues at "the washington post...

Even close to president trump, not his critics, people close to him working on his national security people, are so worried about what hes doing that they felt compelled to leak this to "the washington post." >> how serious is this? as intel goes, all we know is this was kind of code name protected, or code name referred to, masking obviously as much as possible given the operation a code name. i guess the direct question, do you think this raises questions about fitness for office? you wouldnt ...

Ranks in any way, when will they make their feelings known to the white house that they want some order restored here? you saw paul ryans statement earlier today, don, it was not one where he was linking arms with the president. it was one that said, this is serious stuff and we need to get the facts of what went on here. >> david sanger, i want to ask you about the "washington post" sources saying that this is code word information, code word information that trump revealed, more information to...

Government has never wanted to do in syria, at least so far. but what i have to say, brian, i also worked three years at the white house, at the national security council. i was the guy that briefed president obama before he had his first meeting with foreign minister lavrov in may of 2009. >> whats most shocking is somebody decided in that close circumstance toll the president of the united states, that this was so important that they leaked this information to "the washington post." that is wh...

The administration about mike flynn that flynn had discussed sanctions. he vouched for the original version on this. and apparently it turns out that mike pence according to his spokesman only found out the truth when he read it in the newspaper. bill, as somebody whose been inside these administrations, what do you think is playing out there right now in terms of mike pence? the conversations hes having, what this does for his trust with him and the president? >> if you look at those stories, m...

I tease when i say mad dog mattis. that name is worth a wing of b-21 bombers for deterrence. he picked the right secretary of defense. occasionally if we use his code name or nickname, thats good. that sends a signal. that is what president reagan did. he had a strong strategy. this president does, too. im immensely impressed with what hes done, what ive seen. >> neil: thanks, general. all right. well, we had another close call. this one stopped by a pretty brave security official on site at the...

And then there was also that purpose, if you can figure out a way to keep these people safe. and then eventually released without any harm. so i called the u.s. embassy and offered to help. >> we did get into contact with an individual who had a natural reason to go in and out of the prison. and so we get a satellite phone to him to communicate in realtime with his cia case officer back in pakistan, which we hoped ultimately might help us to support the military raid to free them. >> did you hav...
