Whisper about an independent counsel. you had democrats actually talk about the word impeachment out loud. this is taking on a life of its own. meanwhile, you look at whats happening inside the white house, mika. this is a white house torn asunder by infighting, intrigue, internal chaos and a president that is increasingly isolated, increasingly enraged and increasingly out of touch with the realities of what is required to run this office, or i will say any office in america. he is incapable ap...

There. and the president, remember, during the transition, he mocked these briefings saying im smart. i dont need to every day get a briefing from these people. im smart enough. as we get into that, sort of the presidents mindset, what deels did we learn from general mcmaster? >> the white house strategy going forward is to try and pivot as hard as they can away from this to focus on the leakers. that is where this investigation should be. thats where the spotlight should be. not on the presiden...

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...

I think that it is a very -- it is not consistent with the story the white house was telling last night. story is false, didnt happen. all of a sudden, trump today is tweeting, i have every right to do what i did. >> let me ask you what you want to hear from mcmaster today. what are the questions you have for him as hes made this decision to come out, whatever, 12, 18 hours later, and address the press once again? >> i think id love to -- i spoke with h.r. mcmaster twice yesterday on the phone b...

For me or people who have been with the president. he shares information in a way that is appropriate. and i should just make maybe the statement here that he was not even aware of where this information came from. he was not briefed on the information, either. so im sorry this has to be the last question because we do have the president of turkey coming momentarily. >> we have more questions, general. >> good day, im andrea mitchell in washington where hr mcmaster just tried to explain what the...
