their home that have been destroyed in the floodwaters. that work is going to continue for months and months. john? ed lavandera, thanks for being with us. i want to tell people what they are looking at on their screen. these are pictures from ktrk. this is the run off of what we are seeing from the floodwater and some of the debris. you become numb to this after a while, after a full week of seeing pictures like this. it s so unusual. that s a boat. that s a boat that was swept away. it is just stuck right now on the edge right there. images like this, not uncommon right now in the houston area and shows you how much work is still to be done there. all of this is going on and you get the sense that people in texas and across the coast of the united states have one eye on the weather map. why? there is a hurricane right now in the atlantic, a powerful hurricane that is moving. it s too early to tell where it s going to go. that doesn t mean there isn t
she hasn t had reporting there was collusion as well. we had this conversation. that doesn t mean there isn t evidence. no one is publicly coming forward and saying they have seen evidence on the collusion. we will see what they have or don t have. trying to jump the gun on either side is counter productive. we talked about this before. jumping the gun is when we talk about it every day. there are new developments every day often fueled by the president or certain things that require as clapper said. not just context. what happened in the substance of those like with jared kushner? i think for you and i and for your viewers, we should sit back and say let the investigation happen. that s what i m saying to you. it happens every day. there are new developments every day. it comes back to the point if
politics. have you seen any feelers to folks you know about this? most people love to have these kind of conversations at the water bubbler. i guess they don t have those anymore or the coffee machine. so, yes. i m sure that there is a buzz around washington, d.c., and people wonder who son top or not or in or out? my expectation is that the white house reince priebus knows what s going on. he s probably introducing a lot of discipline to the staff right now saying keep doing your job. i actually think the operations at the white house are going very well. it s not easy to take the president overseas on a big foreign policy trip. and they ve got a lot of things that are working well in order to have this trip. so i don t want you to presume that things are not working well at the white house. many things are working very well at the white house. that doesn t mean there isn t
convinced. clearly, kelly jane, not everybody is convinced. will they ever be? what is it going to take to figure this out? first not only is not everybody convinced but his statement is not accurate. now it s true that james clapper did say that he hasn t seen any evidence of collusion. that doesn t mean there isn t any. he was very careful in his choice of words to say that. he said i have not seen evidence. and he actually has come out since trump has been the president has been saying things like that to clarify. and yeah, there hasn t been any evidence presented yet but we haven t seen the full results of this investigation and that is why it s so important to appoint an fbi director who is going to be regarded by everybody as fair and will do a thorough job investigating this so that when the results come out, we could hopefully put this behind us either way. i want to read something that
important point there. number one, he he said there is no evidence that he has seen. but that doesn t mean there isn t. that means there could be or couldn t be. i don t know. let s let that investigation go out. go back to when things in was being leaked. i think that is something more serious that we all need to be concerned as americans. if highly classified information is being gathered by these intelligence services, you know, if they tapped into, i don t want to say tapped if they surveilled general flynn s telephone conversations, they could do that to you, me, any american out here. if they did that, they weren t targeting general flynn. they were targeting the russian ambassador to the united states and he was having a conversation and his conversation was picked up, not because general flynn was targeted because the russian ambassador to the united states was targeted. and that s right. and look at how much power in that drag net ability of the federal government to pic
