Knowing that sort of basic responsibility of the role of the white house versus the role of the justice department versus the role of the fbi is very scary from a pure administration of justice standpoint. >> michael, to the rest of our panel, thanks very much. coming up could congress ask steve bannon to testify about the trump tower meet egg called treasonous. ill ask a committee and the strange reason that the president loves mcdonalds. cannot live without it.

Experience in government to high positions inside the west wing. and lo and behold they have no idea what theyre doing. l and behold they dont know anything about anything. and the thing thats really striking to me about the excerpts of the wolff book that we heard so far is just how, you know, dysfunctional -- and dysfunctional is being generous, i think -- this white house is. and how little it knows what it needs to know to be an effective executive branch of the united states of america. its...
