Lying to the press, he was angry, agitated, never seemed comfortable. scaramucci you could see it see it today. he understands tone. if even if he says things like if the president says it its at least a little bit true process. if he says things about media bias, he says it with a smile and easy way about him. thats something that will go -- wont take him all the way, but it will go a long way. >> he has a good personality. he got off on a good step but this isnt going to be all puppies and ros...

Had to disclose all the financial assets to disclose potential conflicts of interest. and what came out today is that he amended it. we just talked about the sort of amnesia we see over and over again from folks in the white house. well, kushner according to his staff inadvertently overlooked about 70 or so things, financial commitments and investments and things in holdings that he hadnt put on his form. were talking about millions of dollars of personal wealth here. trying to sort of clear the...

One thing weve learned in six months, anything is possible in this administration. who would have thought he would have fired the acting attorney general that he had inherited just one week into office? who would have thought he would have fired the fbi director? again we talk about well he dont want to go through a tough confirmation. that was certainly the case and it would depend on who was selected. but look at chris ray. we would have thought, gosh, whoever he puts up for james comeys job t...

However, the obama administration determined they had done too far. these places were used as communications nodes for the hackings, they may have been relay and they also may have been monitoring u.s. reactions, not just the news media, but also u.s. military government intelligence. they cant break our codes, but they can see the levels of activity when we get upset. so all those things, the obama administration said were putting an end and kick out the 36 intelligence collectors that you have...

>> thats exactly right. because jeff sessions recused himself from the investigation his deputy attorney general rod rosenstein was in charge when james comey was fired by the president as fbi director and then it came out that he had had this conversation or at least says he had this conversation with the president about whether to stop the investigation into mike flynn, thats when rod rosenstein as the acting attorney general in this instance decided he had to appoint a special counsel, robert...

>> as you pointed out he blames everything that followed for the recusal -- because of the recusal of the attorney general. >> thats exactly right. because jeff sessions recused himself from the investigation his deputy attorney general rod rosenstein was in charge when james comey was fired by the president as fbi director and then it came out that he had had this conversation or at least says he had this conversation with the president about whether to stop the investigation into mike flynn, t...

Things that he said. so he has some legal exposure there. he also has issues with respect to maintaining the independence of the justice department. we are really seeing an effort by this white house and by this president to basically lay on justice. and influence an investigation, should down the special counsel investigation if they can. and so he really has a challenge if he does end up staying in his position to find a way to insulate the department of justice from political interference by ...

If the president says it its at least a little bit true process. if he says things about media buys he says it with a smile and easy way about him. thats something that will go, -- wont take him all the way. >> he has a good personality. he got off on a good step but this isnt going to be all puppies and roses relationship with the press and the white house. he is a big personality. there are a lot of big personalities and a lot of alliances in that white house. and someone who is not a fan of h...

Staff inadvertently overlooked about 70 or so things, financial commitments and investments and things in holdings that he hadnt put on his form. were talking about millions of dollars of personal wealth here. trying to sort of clear the deck of any potential conflicts and make sure i think you saw the way they put this out. theyre trying to manage it and be more transparent. why did it take six months to disclose all of these things? and how forget that -- that large -- i mean that is a lot of ...

And i almost feel like im starting to have seen this movie before with michael flynn, not a complete parallel, but where there was damaging information after piece after piece on flynn came out. and finally flynn was essentially forced to put in his letter of resignation. so i mean maybe this is the last and things will die down. but i feel the storm clouds gathering around jeff sessions here. and then were at a point where either we need another attorney general to go through a tough senate con...
