Trusted aides. so its just this big vacuum of people who arent necessarily there to be close to trump. and then just to keep people abreast of how fast hes changing his mind and sort of actually what is happening. >> jonathan, its hard to get a straight answer and separate out the hyperbole. when you listen to some people, the state department has been hollowed out. you can roll a bowling ball down the hallways and not hit anybody. i will ask you for the effect it has had, especially with kind o...

Because its right there in these unusual contemporaneous memos that james comey chose to keep. last night in an interview weve discussed on this show that were waiting for that has now occurred, rachel maddow pressing comey on that whole conversation. >> he told you that hed had a personal conversation with president putin about hookers? >> yes. >> did you believe him, or did you thunk he was speaking hyperbolically? >> he didnt seem to be speaking hyperbolically. >> thats an important and new e...
