Republicans logical argument in this memo, which, of course, is misleading and leaves out a lot of information. but even if you take their information at face value, thats where the logic breaks down in their argument. >> ned, its believed the fbi also used peter schweitzers book "clinton cash" in part to investigate the clintons. we dont have that confirmed but thats also out there. wouldnt that also be a biassed source? >> thats exactly right. but matts point is the big one here. from my exper...

Job -- ned price. also served as national security counsel spokesperson under president obama. now he is an nbc news national security analyst. thats a mouthful. ned, you resigned a year ago, after more than ten years of service under republicans and democrats. you said you could no longer serve under president trump. give us your reaction to the presidents tweet, slamming the leadership of the fbi and the justice department. >> well, thats right, stephanie. in some ways, it is only fitting were...

Not getting along. >> but was it public in this way? >> it wasnt so public. thats more of a problem for morale, but as far as the functionality and operationally, you know, we can get through this kind of thing. weve weathered this kind of storm before. i wish it wasnt happening and it shouldnt be happening but it is happening and the men and women of the fbi will weather this storm. you just dont want to get drawn into the fight publicly because i dont think theres much of an up side to doing t...

That does not seem to be the political calculation. some of that driven from the hill. but i think you noted it was not bipartisan and that is not consistent with sunlight and everything we hear from the speaker. so you have conflicting views within the white house and look, you have some strongly conflicting views within this administration with key officers and leaders of the trump presidency. >> you have ever seen anything like this? >> no. >> amen. >> thank you very much. thanks for rolling ...

90% of the workers will see increases in paychecks. youre seeing potential of 4% growth. so i think what trump needs to do tomorrow night in the state of the union, neil -- ive never seen him as being democratism versus republicanism. more about americanism and how his policies have affected the american people. this is for all americans to benefit them in regards to new jobs and new wages. this has the potential. were a month into this tax reform. how is it going to play out the next nine month...

Have a president that doesnt like to be called weak, and if he doesnt testify, it will seem like he is scared. that wont play well with the american people. this is a pathological liar, it sent clear to me he knows the difference between truth and falsity. what will he say before mueller? he doesnt know all the facts that mueller knows. he could easily be in a situation where he is committing perjury if he goes to testify. i think it is dangerous for him. we could have a constitutional crisis. i...

Very appreciative of the fact that they have a director who is willing to back the words that, you know, of his testimony in his confirmation that if he was asked to do something inappropriate or out of bounds that he would push back or resign and maybe thats come to pass. that is what the fbi needs, that sort of independence, frankly thats what the country needs. >> ned price, this all comes amidst jeff sessions sitting down with bob mueller. take a listen to how he was previously addressing th...

This administration haas torn asunder seemingly without any regard. >> ned price and ben wittes, thank you very much for your time on this sunday afternoon. congressman democrat from washington state was speaking moments ago on the house floor. you decided you were not going to attend the state of the union scheduled to take place on the 30th of january. i want to get a sense you from here of what congressional leadership, congressional leaders are telling you about the path forward? nancy pel...

Basis, irrespective of political differences is a national disgrace, and this is not the first time that it has happened. it is the first time i think that its happened in united party control, but its a disgrace to the institutions of congress and the presidency that this keeps happening municipality times since the 90s. >> ned price, let me have you weigh in on this as well as you watch all of this play out. i want to get your reaction so what were seeing as a focus on the u.s. military, the e...

Said he had left the cia some number of years ago. it wouldnt have been difficult for jerry lee to figure this out. so why he came back here, i think, is one of the enduring questions that, at least in public, we just dont know yet. >> ned, we talk so much about spying these days and count counter spying. how does china lure someone like this? for those who are covert oper e operators and analysts, im sure the cia works to make suregoingd in by other government. >> the chinese are one of the mos...
