Best advice and give him options to deal with these problems. >> clearly you cant have that confidence by virtue of what happened yesterday. do you have an idea of how this got out and how can you tighten up the ship as it were to ensure from your perspective at least that this stuff doesnt get out? i think its incumbent on all of us to bring in the people with the right authorities and mandate to take a look at how this leak occurred and how other breaches may have occurred as well. >> general ...

From. he wasnt briefed on the source or method of the information either. >> that is only going to add to the questions about how this white house works. and what is the source in this particular dysfunction. >> right. and can we believe what mcmaster just said. i mean, who is he getting his information from? did the president say he wasnt aware? did the people who brief him say they didnt brief him? we just dont know. again, i think it raises more questions about how routinely is he getting bri...

She came out and said the story was false. >> another thing that mcmaster revealed today was that the president decided in the context of the conversation to reveal this information. so he didnt go through a process. he didnt consult with his aides apparently. and so theres a question about, you know, this is a decision that the president made in order to bring russia into the fold on the isis fight. or bring russia closer on the isis fight. why didnt he consult more closely with his national se...
