Recently both democrats and republicans looked at the same intelligence reports and concluded that susan rice did nothing wrong. but according to lizzas reporting, nunes apparently felt pressure from the trump administration to make something out of nothing. quote, the intelligence source told me that he knows from talking to people in the intelligence community that the white house said, we are going to mobilize to find something to justify the presidents tweet that he was being surveilled. the...

Box as it were as it was waging this kind of proxy war throughout the region. and there is a sense that iran will be countered and by the way, obama was doing that in yemen and support of the saudis as well. its not entirely a different policy. what you just saw with rex tillersons statement there, anyone who had any question whether iran was on notice now the answer is yes, they appear to still be on notice. >> of course hes referring to mike flynn coming out in the press briefing room and sayi...

Speaker ryan that iran was living up to its obligation. by running through this litany of that behavior, again, nearly all of which i agree with, this was nothing more than a face saving measure on the part of the department of state. >> ned price, appreciate your time. eli lake, appreciate your time as well. thank you, gentlemen. more on that special election in georgia, plus the surprising annocement from jason chaffetz that he wont be seeking re-election. well talk about what he could be plan...

It led to devin nunes having to step down. you know, we spent weeks talking about it. so from as a purely political matter, this was quite an effective diversionary tactic by the trump white house with the cooperation of devin nunes. it didnt advance the ball on the core investigation of the russian interference in the election. but if the goal of the white house is to keep us off that ball, i think they, you know, played it. it served their purposes. >> ned, the diversionary tactics do not serv...

And that was a message heard around the world. >> sure. but, look, i mean there were issues that the president was dealing with with china because he was focused on north korea and trying to get chinese cooperation in dealing with the very pressing issue of north koreas nuclear program. so i dont know that we should be too harsh on the president for not pushing his china agenda as articulated during the campaign right now when there are more pressing issues. >> its not a matter of being harsh. i...

Ball, i think they, you know, played it. it served their purposes. >> ned, the diversionary tactics do not serve the white house or the president well in terms of the publics view of him. we have a new poll saying 36% now, 36% say that donald trump is honest and trustworthy. and in february, before all of this stuff started, 42% said he was honest and trustworthy. so whatever he has been up to in the -- over the last month or more has only taken that honest and trustworthy number down. and that ...
