If im channelling trump officials ive spoken to and some supporters they say he does this with people he thinks are adversaries, whether the chinese premiere in his first year in office, or the north korean leader. he flatters them. he wines and dines them. he has a warm conversation with them and then the tough talk comes later. just like any business negotiation. to take counterpoint, some of the nato and european officials ive spoken to are really going to be studying this closely. because th...

Times he seemed undeterred and steadfast, almost as if he was sort of mentally trained for what went down. the fact of the matter was is that he probably was, he had plenty of time to prepare, he knew what was going to happen. do you think he came out feeling like he had a win? i mean or did anybody win? >> well, liz, i agree with you. he was very well prepared. i also think that he knows what -- hes in control in some respects. youve got the fbi kind of saying hes not going to answer those ques...

Took. >> embattled fbi agent peter strzok speaking about text messages he sent during the investigation. >> i strongly believe that todays hearing is a victory notch in putins belt. >> it was marked by shouting matches and personal attacks. >> if you allow him to you will. >> you have been out of control since you have been on this committee. leave it alone, this is not benghazi. >> bob goodlad considering holding him in contempt. >> only with your own council. >> mr. chairman, there is no basis...

A hearing at 1:30 p.m. eastern time. this will take place behind closed doors. a lot of questions for her about the bias that may have existed in her role at the fbi. thats what lawmakers want to ask her about. of course she exchanged those text messages with this man, peter strzok, whose hearing yesterday was hours and hours long and which pretty much devolved into shouting matches. here is some of it. >> i cant help but wonder when i see you looking there with a little smirk how many times did...

Inconsistencies? >> no, and the fact is the american people should see that. the chairman said, oh, i havent decided i should release them. its not up to him. the republicans have decided to prevent it. i think the american people have a right to know. he sat through 11 hours of testimony, let the american people read the testimony and make their own judgments. im working with congressman ras kn, having the fbi look at it to determine if theres any reason not to. so long as theres no prohibition...

Dossier. theres been a lot of charges saying this is based on this faulty dossier. this was the reason the fbi opened its investigation, because of christopher steel and he was on their payroll, et cetera, et cetera. he today let it be known that was not the reason the fbi opened the investigation. so a lot of unanswered questions but one we kind of learned a little something about. >> one other point -- >> carl, i want to play an exchange -- go ahead. >> the way that ended with a threat to rose...

Was not the reason. so one of the unanswered questions but something we learned a little bit about. >> and one other point was the way that hearing ended with a threat to rosenstein by the chairman in saying that we are not through with you, mr. struck. and mr. rosenstein he was implying we might bring you in here and hold you in contempt as well. this is an attempt to undermine legitimate investigation, and somehow there must be somewhere in the republican party, in congress, out of congress, e...

>> i dont think we heard the end of it. the democrats dont have any power here because they dont control the committee. im sure this was planned on the democratic side if they knew that he was going threaten struck with contempt, that they had something in their back pocket on forcing steve bannon to testify. and one other thing i want to add, anderson, because there is one little thing we did learn today from peter struck because largely we learned nothing new. but one thing we learned is he di...

Them, not so much. we let you keep an eye on your business from anywhere. the others? nope! get internet on our gig-speed network and add voice and tv for $34.90 more per month. call or go on line today. that hearing today was 10 hoursa travesty wrapped in a sham wrapped in a mockery. but the republicans who didnt make the case that bias tainted the probe, high dungeon democrats who had contempt for the other side. but its the republican that shows the situation at its best, for that i mean at...

About republicans talking about contempt for not answering but not bringing steve bannon back to the committee, somebody else who refused to answer questions, not for any reason about investigation, just because he refused to answer questions. >> right. i dont think weve heard the end of it. the democrats obviously dont have any power or leverage here because they dont control the committee. im sure this was planned on the democratic side, that if they knew good luluck was going to threaten stzo...
