Think anyone in the west wing knows what he was doing when he was over there. one of the lawyers, michael ls, used to work for nunes. his title is special assistant to the president. maybe his office is in the old executive office building because theres not enough office space in the west wing but hes part of the west wing staff. the other thing is, now the white house says the democrats on the committee, now they are welcome to come to the white house to see the same information. they could ha...

Bigger the hole that they keep digging here, what do you think they should do? >> you know, i really dont. i want to say i was at the white house or the old executive building right next to the white house which was in the compound yesterday meeting with some people, and i was there last week. and it struck me yesterday as i was there, i didnt know anybody. but i knew a few people saw some familiar faces. but it struck me that here this administration is moving on and the critics are still obses...

The old executive building right next to the white house, which is in the compound yesterday, meeting with some people. i was there last week. and it struck me yesterday, as i was there, i didnt know everybody, but i knew a few people, saw some familiar faces. here this administration is w, moving on, and the critics are still obsessed with this story, and i think the house intel committees and the senate intel committee is looking at this thing and doing what it needs to do, the fbi is doing wh...

Chaif fets tweeted just moments ago just this, attorney general sessions should clarify his testimony and recuse himself. lets discuss with west virginia senator joe manchin. senator, good morning. >> good morning, alisyn. how are you? >> im well. thanks for being here. you were the only democrat to vote for senator jeff sessions to become attorney general. this morning do you feel misled? >> basically i asked for jeff to recuse himself when i thought the investigation into mike flynn, because h...

>> well, again, i think, you know, what im trying to do in my small role out here is to resist this temptation to make it a partisan issue. i think he does owe an explanation about what these meetings were. im not as convinced by saying youre at a party at the republican national convention. a lot of ambassadors go to that. the meeting in the office maybe deserves a little more questions. but i think he needs to explain that. but where it goes from here, i think we need a calm, bipartisan invest...

About extensive contacts between trump officials and russian intelligence officials. he explained his position. go ahead and tell us what he said. so seemed to downplay that there was anything wrong with this. he said, listen, the white house might have given me a phone number of a reporter to talk to. i talk to reporters all the time. this is just normal back and forth, and he said, in fact, its an example of greater transparency. lets put that through something of a smell test here. i mean, ba...

And the hacks that are on it. now, russia carried forward on these attempts trying to have some kind of impact on public opinion and the election. so you know that, and hopefully congress will get to have a briefing this week. can you believe we still have not been able to see a report and have the briefing and our intel committees come before us and give us the information. >> you just had a hearing and the intel community says that any time you want to know, give them clearance and theyll tell...

No, the content that is in those emails, you didnt have putin taking charge of john podestas or donna brazile or anybody elses email. >> congresswoman were out of time. what would it take for you to be convinced by the president, like the cia, like the fbi that putin was directly involved in these cyber attacks against the democrats? >> im going to provide the time for our intel committees to do their appropriate work, and to do their due diligence and respond back to us. i think at this point i...

I mean, this really theoretically could put innocent humanitarian workers at real peril. >> absolutely, jake. i mean, you have to look at abbottabad we were trying to collect dna. and, you know, vaccination programs completely went under there. and pakistanis turned on them. and this puts at risk all christian missionary groups across the world working in hostile areas. theyre going to be called spies. theyre going to be looking at this north korea thing, yeah, puts them at risk absolutely. >> m...
