Wake of this, the statement. we have no way what was said, the speaker hopes for a full explanation of the facts from the administration. david sanger, thats not exactly standing behind the president right now either. >> not exactly true either. >> first of all, we dont know what was said. this is knowable when they have these meetings there are note takers. theres sometimes a transcript. its not clear whether this was taped or not, but that goes back to the broader question of last week raised ...

Loss of life in russian aviation history. i think russia should know information like this. the question is not whether the president told them, but whether we tell the service that gave it to us that were going to tell the russians. in my world that is a huge oversight. you cannot give information away thats given to the united states as a courtesy by another government and not bother to tell them first. that is simply reckless. >> ron brownstein. it does not seem theres a constructive legal ca...

Whatever the president revealed wasnt widely disseminated in the u.s. government as other officials looked at the conversations with foreign minister lavrov. i think the key word here that weve heard this morning and actually came from senator corker is one of discipline. the question is when the president encounters foreign leaders, is he so determined to describe how cool the intelligence is that he gets each day, something he apparently boasted about, that he goes too far in allowing them to ...

And cnn military analyst lew eternal general mark hurtling. let me begin with you, some reporting by earthquake and his team lays out a little more detail in terms of who this ally was and why it was so important to the united states in terms of this information sharing dpreem. they say its a middle eastern ally. this ally warned united states apparently upon giving this information and this intelligence dont tell anyone, dont even share widely among u.s. intelligence, the u.s. intelligence comm...

The question the white house has never sufficiently answered is why it took so long to act after the warning that the acting attorney general provided. of course the action only came after the underlying question was revealed in the "washington post." it really goes back, chris, to this core issue. weve talked about this before. on election day, between a fifth and a quarter of the people who voted for donald trump said they were uncertain he had the temperament or the qualifications to serve as...

>> he is. he knows what hes doing. i think hes lost credibility in the last 24 hours. any sbl person taken intel 101 can figure out what general mcmaster is doing. two elements of intel, what you collect and how you collect it. how you collect it is the most sensitive, potential part of this. that is how you intercept someones communications, whether you have an informant within isis or al qaeda. what mcmaster said the president debate reveal anything about sources, how anything was collected. e...

Fit to do this job. what youre seeing is hes baiting congressional republicans to see how far they will go defending actions they unequivocally wouldnt defend. think about hillary clinton, firing comey, private meeting with russians, candidate trump, congressional republicans like paul ryan condemned her for during the campaign. now the question is whether they will be more forceful in kind of putting any kinds of limits on him as we saw the beginning of which ebb bob corker and his comments you...

Information question of hacking. >> yeah, as he said, this avenue was not included in the intelligence community assessment released in january. this is something that probably would not be in intelligence channels, something more in lawsuit channels. something that if there is a special prosecutor would be right for his or her prosecution. above all else, something that we could learn a lot about if president trump was to release his tax returns. >> you worked with sally yates in the justice de...

President to have? >> a good example was that hewitt when he was talking about the kurds and the fact that if you just let that go it would have been self-evident. if they do that approach it works. >> do candidates worry about the simple information question that shows they dont read the newspaper? are they afraid of that? >> candidates are always nervous being exposed as lacking in one of the qualities that voters look to in deciding for a president. the point is that donald trump has shown so...

Effectively, have seen that kind of rhetoric, that anti-east coast intellectual rhetoric work particularly in a republican primary. i do agree, however, she stands the risk of kind of veering over into this place where she can be easily stereotyped as not really being informed. i do think shes also guarding against that. we look at her fec reports and her political action committee, sarah pac, is spending quite a bit of money getting advice on domestic issues from a whom who is sort of a domesti...
