America, what does this do to me? lets put up the details. this is what we know. remember, this is what the leader calls a discussion draft. this will change somewhat, the question is how much can they change it. we know the senate bill would phase out the medicaid expansion slower than the house bill. medicaid expansion was a big part of obamacare. states had the flexibility to change the medicaid program to help the poor, to help the elderly. but the senate bill also has more dramatic cuts to ...

Is, in effect, intervened with those crass remarks about the mayor of london after the terrorist attack. london went overwhelmingly for labor. and so thats a question i have had is whether in some complicated way this wasnt also influenced by hostility toward trump. i just want to underscore what to me was the real headline here which is the come back of jeremy corbyn, she called this election because his poll numbers were in the garbage. he was down in the 30s. he was thought to be this played ...

>> i think it shows how questionable his character is, that he would take conversations that he had with the president of the united states, which should be protected under executive privilege and then he gave them to a friend to leak to the "new york times." i think it proves that the president made the right choice in firing director comey and brings into great question some of the decision-making he made as fbi director and since. chris: now, the president friday, after comeys testimony, said...

Inappropriate to comment on it. chris: former national security advisor michael flynn has been a special focus of this investigation. he held repeated meetings with the russians. he is the one that the president allegedly told comey to go easy on. how important is flynn to this investigation? >> well, i think at this point he is one of the key figures. he was involved, apparently, from reports that have not been refuted with contacts with the russians. the question, again, it goes back to why th...

Because comey proceeded to talk about the incident widely within the fbi, widely enough in the fbi. chris: not the investigating officers, just with his top brass. >> widely enough within the top staff of the fbi that it got printed in the "new york times" on the 11th of may. so, or, no, before that before the presidents tweet, that supposedly. chris: that was the loyalty pledge. >> right. chris: the point of mueller and whether or not-eye. >> look, i think it would be a huge mistake to try to s...
