Involved. we dont know how much, though. we have no idea of the coordination here. hopefully, this 10:00 briefing tonight will give us a better sense of some of these specifics. this pentagon press corps, if were one thing, it is we are a group that wants to know the very nitty-gritty, the details of these operations. hopefully well be able to get that. >> and courtney -- thats exactly right. as we are awaiting that, until we know more about the type of military effort this is, the scale of the ...

About the only one i think who can restrain trump at this point, and making sure there is a good decision process. my concern is that john bolton is not one who should be in charge of coordinating and presenting conflicting and sometimes differing points of view. he has such a strong personality. i fear he will run roughshod and present his own views only to the president. >> i dont mean to surprise our producers. if we have a map of the region, i would love to put it up. this is a mess. youve g...

Theyre family, yes, they may work for free, the president says theyre quality individuals, but they have business background, they have ongoing business relationships at the same time that they are the presidents advisors. >> they are nebulous to these other countries, ann is very expertly pointing out how confusing it can be. clearly to uae, to mexico, its not nebulous, its a way to work on him. i ask two questions as our intel expert, number one, what does it say to you that the process as it ...

On the planet. to have a guy such as -- well, as mr. porter, who has been accused of spousal abuse, being involved in that decision process is scary for this country. the man could be blackmailed or worse. >> right. >> here we are, staring at it, trying to get answers. and we dont have any. >> the house oversight committee wants answers. dana was talking to trey gowdy this morning. full-blown investigation. do you think, though, depending on what they find, would that give the president an out? ...

Which is to fortify the argument the president is making that this is a witch-hunt. when i speak to national security folk, they talk about the importance of this information not because its classified for classified sake, but what it could reveal. it could reveal the thinking, the way the decision process behind how somebody is investigated and surveilled. . thats the reason that it is being protected. christopher wray is someone appointed by president trump is expressing these concerns about t...

What was the decision process like? it was very methodical. it was very calm. it was not rushed at all. sometimes they would spend the entire day, one witness, with the special counsels teams. >> carol lee? >> this is a really fascinating story. one of the things im wondering, you talk a lot about how questions are focused on the interplay between kushner and flynn. did you get any sense of why that is, what thaerp looking for? did anyone you talk to talk about what specific meetings they were f...

Distinct and so forth and theres a review process that goes through chain of command, nothing new here frankly. heather: his role is to guide the president, the president would speak to him and say what he wants to do and he would say whether or not thats legal and they come up with a plan if that, in fact, would not work, the first plan. >> thats correct, again, the united states has a nuclear weapons decision process, i wont go into much of the details about that, but, again, constant assessme...

You put metal detectors in every single hotel, supermarket, delicatessen or pizza parlor. if you want to raise the security, youre going to have to somehow compromise on civil liberties and privacy. weve already done that. weve done that in airports and elsewhere and americans have agreed to that. theyve accepted it because they realize the risks and threats. we need to turn to the community to help identify people. certainly from a physical perspective theres more that we can do, but its always...

Shutdown over funding for his wall. i do think that that is a hill he would like to die on. he has made it very clear that he will wants to see the funding for this wall. that is one of those key deliverables he needs to show to his supporters and if youre going to pick a fight with your own party over funding your key campaign promise, thats really not a position that you want to be in. you want to be in a position of being able to show that you can get along, that you can govern. now all you c...

The problem is everything that comes between that in the speech. last night -- excuse me it was interesting because he did admit that his decision process has changed. our theory of the cheap seats everything looks different on the outside while i take a drink tell us what a long walk that has been for him to talk about how a decision on afghanistan specifically looked different for him in the oval office. >> right, i mean it was remarkable. it was a campaign promise. you will remember barack ob...
